• SQL Server Auto URL Redirect

  Hi,Does anyone know how to redirect the report to another URL automatically conditionally based on some checking, without user interaction with the report I am trying to perform validity checking on user's input value and redirect user to a centralise error page if the input value is invalid.Thanks,J Lim You can't do this using the standard parameter toolbar. You will need to code your own textbox for accepting user input for the parameter value and pass that to the report if is valid and redirect to the error page if not valid. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Listview Problem

  Hi, We are working on a PocketPC application in VB.net on Compact Framework 1.0. The main module has a ListView on which other sub-modules are listed as items. On the click of the items the corresponding sub-module is launched. When we exit from the sub-module we get back to the main module with listview visible. The issue : When any item is clicked, the item gets highlighed with blue color. Then, the sub-module is launched. On exiting from the sub-module we get back to the main module. Now the problem is that ListView retains a blue border around the last selected item. How can this blue border be avoided I want the List View to appear as before (Initial state, without any extra blue col ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Label reports

  Hi, I have some problem for generate some query, I want to do a report from my labels, but on this report I want to add all documents and code that belongs to my labels, any idea how can I do this G'day, I am not a great specialist in reporting, but I believe that "code in label" part of your report belongs to Version Control and is accessible through the object model rather than through data warehouse cubes. As for labeled documents - how do you mean Labels are related to source code control and documents are stored in SharePoint and those two are not related. Yours truly, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO add in for Outlook

  Hi there, From your professional experience is it possible to create Add-in using Visual Studio Tools for Office which will automate following manual actions: attachment of the excel file with the unique name (eg excel file starting with MLC word) and sending it to multiple number of email address that have unique company field (eg MLC1, MLC2,) While sending an excel file to a bulk email is pretty straightforward I have encountered a lot of difficulties in finding the code solution for MOutlook add. It is all about mapping the right excel file with the coresponding recipient, but not one article could be found on this topic. Both lists are stored at SharePoint and one idea is to use VSTO to someh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching Model - Staircase vs. Mainline

  Is there a preferred branching model to use for VSTF We are currently using the mainline branching model (software configuration management pattern), but are running into a couple issues that we didn't anticipate. For example, we currently have the following source control structure: /main/foo /Rel1-maint/foo /Rel1.1-maint/foo Both Rel1-maint and Rel1.1-maint were branches off the main branch. The problem that we are having right now is when there is a bug fix in Rel1 we make the changes and then merge back to the main. Since there is no way to merge changes from Rel1 to Rel1.1 directly, I guess we need to merge from Rel1 to Main and then do a file-by-file branch back to Rel1.1. Is there any better way to do this Would you suggest t ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Implementing a Time Off Request Form with approval workflow in SP 07

  Hi everyone, I'm trying to design a browser based form for use on SP 2007 with some specific workflow capabilities. I would like to have the user submit it to their manager (they can manually select their manager on the form) and then have the manager approve the time off, and finally have it automatically sent to our payroll department for final approval. It would be a huge bonus if it could get recorded on a general absence calendar I've set up. In other words: 1) User fills out form (available on SP site), manually selects approving manager 2) Form is emailed to manager 3) Manager approves request 4) Form is routed to payroll department for final approval 5) Form is entered int ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data truncated to 255 characters when copying TFS-Excel form

  Hi Guys, Possibly an old question, but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere, and it is quicker to ask. I am trying to migrate data from our old Problem Tracking system to TFS. I have jumped many hurdles and have a working template and the process is almost complete. I have created two spreadsheets, one using a query to get data directly from our old database, and another directly generated from TFS. Copying and pasting from one to the other seems to work perfectly (some minor transition flow validations aside). However! I have found that the longer fields, eg: Description, are being truncated to ~255 characters! Is there any way to resolve this problem NOTE: If I manually go through each and every field in the original, edit the cont ...Show All

  Dear All, I have installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition, Iam not able to find SQL Agent, So anybody help me............................ Regards, Vinayak hi Jens, actually MSDE provides the SQL Server Agent... you have no tool to manage it as no graphical tool is provided to manage the engine ( but you can use mine ) , but the Agent is there and available.. it is not set to start up at OS boostrap but you can simply modify that behavior.. and, as it is available, I do recommend using it if confortable with alternative tools or even oSql.exe command line tool (ok.. it's not that amusing defining jobs, schedules and steps "by hand"), and the most proper way to backup database was the "natural" SQL Serv ...Show All
