• Visual Studio Team System Setting default WorkItem field values during creation of New Team Project

  Hi, I've created a creation wizard that will gather information from the user when they create a new team project. I'd like to be able to set some fields of work items when they are created to the values that were entered in the wizard during project creationg. For example, during the wizard a user will enter the project category along with name. Each bug entered will also have the project category saved in a field that is also a dimension. I don't want the user to have to enter the project category when entering bugs. Is there any way to get the information from the wizard back into the Team Project XML Or some way to change the Process template tasks lists during project creation to have the custom field default to a certain va ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Latency when Connecting via VPN remotely

  Hello! Are there any limits or recommendation for the latency to a remote place The connection is done with two VPN routers. We are currently setting up that connection and it seems, that we have a latency of about 250 - 300 ms. Will that be good enough Any practical experiences about latency Regards CSharpNewbie22 Team Foundation Server is optimized to work on connections with high latency and low bandwidth so you shouldn't face any issues. I've used exactly that kind of set up for intensive development / testing using TFS for the past year and had no problems. My latency is usually around the 200ms mark, but it can occasionally spike up to 2000 ms and I have never noticed any problems wha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Loading a query in a WorkItemResultGrid

  Hi all, I am trying to load a saved query in a WorkItemResultGrid. I want to mimic the workitem / query view in Visual Studio but extend it with conditional formatting (e.g. priority 1 bugs in red). I retrieve a WorkItemCollection from a WorkItemStore (WorkItemStore.Query) and set it as the datasource for the WorkItemResultGrid. The result grid displays all WorkItem-Fields (not only the ones selected). I can set the ResultOptions before setting the datasource-property, but they are ignored. Setting the ResultOptions after the datasource property results in a runtime exception. I've also tried using the method WorkItemResultGrid.LoadFromWiql as it was advised in Narens post in: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.asp ...Show All

• SQL Server Recommended Values for Server Properties?

  I recently finished reading the "Tuning Server Resources" section of the Analysis Services 2005 Performance Guide and didn't really come away with any recommended settings regarding the server's properties. I'm pretty certain that my server's properties are all at their default setting, but I was wondering if there were any values that I should consider changing For example, Memory\TotalMemoryLimit and Memory\LowMemoryLimit are still at their default values of 80 and 75 respectively. Our server is a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64-bit SP1 machine with 8 gigs of RAM, and we can have up to 20 concurrent users querying the cubes through Excel 2003 and we occassionally see the server's resources maxed out so I will need to restart ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to add a new row to datagridview + bound text boxes et

  I have a datagridview(too small to put all the column values) so I used some text boxes in a form below to display the entire detail for any selected row. The textboxes are bound to the same databindingsource as the datagridview..The selected row in datagrid populates values in the textboxes. I want some mechanism so that when a user wants to add a row, they can put their values in the textboxes and hit add button which puts the new row in the datagridview. Is this possible Thanks.. Hi, If the UI aspect that you are concerned with then you can add a new entry form (to handle new entries) just show it when the user presses the new button then pragramatically add it to your datatable after the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem in VSS pointing to another PC's Web Folder

  I made VSS project on one machine and set the working folder of web site folder on other machine. Now when user updates anything using the same VSS database....the files are getting updated in VSS but not on actual web folder..........any suggestions. gnanforu, Did you set the working folder in Visual SourceSafe The working folder tells Visual SourceSafe where to put local files if you do a Get or Checkout. If you want to have a remote folder update with the latest versions of files when files get checked in to VSS, you want to set up a Shadow folder. You can do this from the Adminstrator program that comes with Visual SourceSafe. Let me know if this helps! -Brad Peterson VS Test lead ...Show All
