• Visual Studio Team System source control

  does visual studio team system for database professionals incude source control if yes, is the source control at the database level meaning if someone goes into Management Studio will they "see" that a stored procedure is currently checked-out and then they cannot modify that sp. Hi, I do agree with the above strongly (see one of my previous posts "VSTS4DBP could be dangerous"), but I also feel it's also a question and policy of discipline. Assuming that no one want's to intentionally damage the DB the point would be to get VS to the status that for development work it is equally good and fast to use as SSMS. With DataDude we've taken a big step and I assume t ...Show All

  Hi I am Jaison I have developed small ASP.Net applocation in visual web developer 2005 I dont find any bin folder and dll file So how do i deploy my appliction in remote server Hi Jaison, You should post your messages at http://forums.asp.net but just to answer your question, you have an option to deploy your ASP.NET 2.0 using VWD Express. Right-click on your ASP.NET project and select Publish Web Site. Then, you can select the location on which to publish your site. If you want it simple enough, you can first deploy it in your local IIS. This will generate the bin folder and the corresponding DLLs that you need to deploy your web application. ...Show All

• SQL Server For Loop Container does not check condition first time

  Hi, It seems like For Loop Container works like do-while loop in C++. I have set its EvalExpresstion to @[User::SyncStats]==0 , I have an Execute SQL Task before this container that sets the variable to 1 but Container still executes atleast one time. Anybody else been through this Well, There is an Execute SQL Task before the container which is responsible for initializing value on the basis of the return value from Stored Procedure. For just the curiosity, Yes it works if I set the value in InitExpression. But I want it to use the value set by prior task. ...Show All

Each time the form is subnitted an email is sent to the next person on the Organisation hierarchy letting them know that ...Show All

• Visual Studio imbedded spaces in the command line

  Is there a way to get MSBuild to recognize embedded spaces in the command line For instance if I wanted to pass a directory property that might contain embeddes spaces can that be done MSBuild /property:MyDir=C:\Documents andSettings\ MyProj.proj I have tried wrapping various portions of the property above in double quotes, but when I do, MSBuild seems to think it is project file or has some other misinterpretation of what I am trying to do. Thanks, Leslie Simon, Thanks for double checking. I figured out what I was doing wrong. I was attempting to pass SolutionDir from the IDE through to an MSBuild. I was wrapping the SolutionDir with double quotes so that it looked like: MSBuild /pro ...Show All

• .NET Development Access Violation when doing BeginReceive on a UdpClient

  I'm attaching some code below which demonstrate my troubles. In short, I get an Access Violation thrown when doing BeginReceive after trying to Send() data to a port thats not listening (using UDP). My observations this far: Add a Sleep() between the Send() and BeginReceive(), and you get a SocketException thrown at BeginReceive() instead of the Access Violation Send to localhost, or a host on the same lan (or close, in terms of hops), and you get a SocketException Send to a box on the internet, on a port thats not being listened on, and it'll throw an Access Violation most (90%) of the times tried The Sleep() related observation somewhat gives me the impression that this is related to a race condition.

• SQL Server SSRS 2005: Matrix in list causes blank pages in PDF

  I am trying to display data horizontally inside of a group footer of a table. I put a matrix inside of a list and then put that list inside of the table. Unfortunately, when the matrix grows, it causes the list to grow apparently and creates blank pages. I have to use the list to maintain the column width of the matrix. I found a MS article online talking about this problem in SSRS 2000, stating that it had been fixed with SP2. Does anyone know why this is still a problem in SSRS 2005 and how I can get around this issue This sort of problem seems to happen a lot when you place one data object inside of another one. I also encountered a problem before when I placed a table inside of another table. I ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Strangest 'Bug' I've Found Yet

  Hi, I'm still trying to draw large gridmap terrains on the 360 and so far am having a lot of success. Performance seems to be a lot higher than my 6800GT, perhaps by about a factor of about 4. The issue I'm having though is really rather strange and I've been wondering for the last couple of hours quite how it could be happening. I create a huge vertex buffer (as big as XNA allows before throwing an UnauthorizedAccessException at me) for the gridmap and draw the entire world (4million polygons) in a single draw call. Except the frame rate is good under some circumstances and bad under others, and the factors that make the frame rate plummet really shouldn't affect the frame rate at all. If I create only this one VertexBuffer and try ...Show All
