• Visual Studio Team System Cannot add work items in TFS for Developers

  Hi I have just installed TFS for Developers, and cannot add any Work Items. I am the administrator of the project and when I right click to add work items I get a menu with 1 item which is disabled. The text of the menu item is "Error loading menu: Index was outside the bounds of the array". I have installed VS Tools for Office Runtime and have even tried repairing my VS Installation. I am running XP SP2 and have the latest windows updates installed. We have other teams who have installed the software and it works. Thanks Andre This is most likely because of registry key issues with our UI components. We thought we fixed it but looks like it still happens in some circumstances. To fix it, delete ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I programmatically shutdown the computer?

  How do I programmatically shutdown the computer after waiting for 3 seconds and use a timer to countdown ahmedilyas wrote: why would it not help on Windows Server Editions of course it will work, if you have permission to shut down the machine, even if its the local machine.

• SQL Server Weird SQL Server 2000 behavior

  I was able to successfully create a database maintenance plan for SQL Server 2000 Transaction Log Shipping for a few databases a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I created a few more but to my surprise, I can no longer do it. I can create a maintenance plan but the job it creates does not start even if I force the job to start. I did exactly the same thing as what I did (as I document everything I do) before but no luck. Has anybody had this experience before Can you go into the Enterprise Manager, drill into Management->SQL Server Agent->Jobs, and then look at the job history for the failing job If you check the "Show Step Details" box, you should be able to see error messages from the step that failed (probably the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How can I run unit test on different thread?

  How can I run a unit test on different thread I have a unit test that I want to run it in 4 different threads at the same time (Like load test). Please advice! Thanks Hello, You cannot start more than one local run in your machine, so if you want to accomplish running one same unit test 4 times at the same time, you can either use a load test as you mention, or use the controller/agents that come with Visual Studio 2005 Team Test Load Agent. This will enable you to run remotely and be able to run the unit test as many times as you want. More info on VS 2005 Team Test Load Agent here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/products/load/ Thanks, David Gorena Elizondo [MSFT] VSTS ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Creator's Club exclusive content?

  When will we start to see Creator's Club exclusive content I mean, it costs $129 (CDN) for this membership. And I don't think the only thing we payed for was the ability to deploy games on the Xbox 360. I'm guessing we'll have access to some member-only assets. And lots of other cool trinkets.

• SQL Server Finding the Max Value

  I have a report that is grouped by week. The details of the week have the date, time interval (half hour), and the maximum value for that day. So in the example below I am showing the week of May 21st. Then I have all of the days of that week, sorted by date as requested, with the halfhour the maximum value occured in on that day. So Monday the 22nd has the maximum value for the week at 254 (and is highlighted in red). Where the are below, I need to display '1400' which is the interval, but have not yet been able to figure out how to do this.

• Visual C++ error C2664: 'gethostbyname' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CString' to 'const char *'

  when I use the following code in the unicode project of vc, it has the following error: error C2664: 'gethostbyname' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CString' to 'const char *' Can you tell me how to do this data conversion and make this statement workable Thanks you very much. lpHost = gethostbyname(pstrHost); Since this function requires Ansi string, I think you have to convert your Unicode one. There are different approaches. I would suggest trying this simple MFC-based method: CString yourString = . . .; CStringA ansiString = yourString;   gethostbyname(ansiString); I hope it works.   See also: CT2A macro, WideCharToMultiByte function.   ...Show All
