• Visual Studio Team System Team System Multiple Checkout Problem

  I was wondering if there is a way to totally disable multiple checkout for Team System. I have set the Team System Source Control Settings to disable multiple checkout and I have changed the Team Foundation Server Settings Source Control File Types to disabled for file merging. However there are still instances when multiple users can check out .cs files or the solution when another user has the same file checked out. Sometimes the changes are lost when one user tries to check in the file because the merge fails. Removing the users from the admin groups did not work. I'll try to get the users to provide screenshots and more information to help Microsoft diagnose the problem. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development System.data.sqlclient assembly reference not found

  Hi there I'm fairly new to application developing for pocket pc though I have some experience in vb.net with visual studio 2005. I've started with a very simple project to start with. I have a form with a data grid attached to a database in a remote server. The data set is filled when the form loads and that's it. My problem is that when I deploy the project to the device, an exception occurs saying "name of file or assembly 'system.data.sqlclient, version=3.0.3600.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3' not found".

• Visual FoxPro report tool bar

  After a report is generated and appears in a preview you get a small toolbar that floats undecked in full view of the info that you try to read. It was an annoyance until I had only 1 page in the report and once I moved the bar down the report page and believe it or not it DISAPPEARED behind the frame's lower edge. It was not a big alarm for me then since I had only one page but now I have many and the only way to flip pages as I can see is to get the toolbar back. I cannot possibly retreive it no matter what I try. When I moved the toolbar down I hoped that it would deck somewhere and become available as part of the frame but it is not what actually happened. The toolbar disappeared at design stage but the same form's report appe ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Options for Updating Excel displayed thru Excel Web Access ?

  I'm developing a dashboard which contains some graphs surfaced through Excel Web Access. This works great. However, is there a way of updating the Excel data without going into Excel (e.g. via a synchronized SharePoint list or by using infoPath) so I have more control over the UI I'm really looked for a code free solution so I don't have to worry about maintenance and deployment issues in the future, and so power users can also use the same method for their own sites.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Datagridview Comboboxes

  I have been searching for info about dtatgridview dropdowncomboboxes. I have found all the needed info except how to display info that is available in the dropdown. For example in a list with 5 items say Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4, and Item5 there would be a selection into the database of various members of this list. If it was a textbox column displaying them would be easy, how do I do the same with a combo box This is probably an easy question but I am stumped.
