• Visual Studio Team System Datadriven + test instance details

  I have two problems while doing my loadtest. 1. I have a datasource with 100 distinct user accounts, and I need to use them in load test. However, the system does not allow same user to be logged in twice in different web sessions at the same time. Once they logoff though, they can be reused. I need to simulate 50 users banging at the same time, so with 100 user base, I quickly run out of users in Unique mode. Is ther a way to tell test system to reuse accounts 2. While stress testing, some of the web tests fail (probably due to stress), but I only get the exception report in the load test. Is there a way to "digin" to specific iteration of the loadtest and see the output of that specific webtest (as I would get when I run ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Click Once how to not use Certificate and PFK

  Hi , Im wanting to automate the publishing of one of our solutions. It state is requires a Certificate and PFK. I dont need one thru the IDE when I manually do a publish. How can I simulate that in the Build Type I tried by commenting out the SignFile Tasks, but that caused me problems when I tried to deploy it from the website, stating that the manifest was corrupt or missing keys. This is what I have in the Build Type proj file now: < MSBuild Condition = " '@(SolutionToBuild)'!='' " Projects = " $(SolutionRoot)\daily build\MARS_Platform\Tools\MarsServerAdmin\SysAdminTools.sln " Properties = " Configuration=%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild);Platform=%(ConfigurationToBuild.Platf ...Show All

• SQL Server Should I count on dimension fields or use a fact table - how do I do that?

  Hello, I thought I solved this (with Bala's help) but I have a new (very newbie) wrinkle... If I have a column in my fact table that has three Status values (A, L, T), how do I do a count on those values as a measure I've tried adding measures as both a Count and Distinct Count but I just get the total number of values - kind of like a Row Count. I also tried adding it as a Count to the Status Dimension. Here I also get just the count of rows. I was thinking I could do a Calculated Measure, but the issue is that I need to drill down to get the specifics on those people who make have each Status. My original Fact table has three columns, A, L, T with a 1 or 0 in those columns. I then sum up each column to get the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLinq & Web Services & SOA

  Hi All, Can someone give me an idea of how DLinq fits in with web services etc So I have a good understanding of how DLinq works, I am just trying to understand where it fits into the overall architecture. For example say I have a Smart Client that communicates with several Web Services to get its data etc where would DLinq fit into this equation - presumably it would sit between the DB and the Web Services, but would you recomend making use of it on the client via some kind of DB facade Any help/pointers would be great. Cheers, D. Currently, DLinq is most appropriate on the mid-tier for accessing databases - essentially behind the services as you point out. It is really not designed to get data from web-services ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 SDK

  Hello Does anybody know why after installing VS SDK, while build, VS will open all of projects in the solution and add below tag to them <Service Include="{B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF}" /> or <ItemGroup> <Service Include="{B4F97281-0DBD-4835-9ED8-7DFB966E87FF}" /> </ItemGroup> And how can I turn it off. Regards Mohsen We believe we've finally fixed this one for Orcas RTM We no longer mark solution files at all, and we now only mark individual project files when you actually run the T4 custom tool in that project. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build and DBPro

  I have a couple of questions regarding how to integrate DB Pro with Team Build. 1. Is it possible to specify the target database name (for build and deployment) in the Team Build script, instead of depending upon the developers to specify it correctly in the .dbproj file In our case, the build team, and not the development team, will specify the target database name, during the build process. 2. Is it possible to invoke tasks to populate the target db with test data, as well as run db unit tests, from the Team Build script Many Thanks in advance. Hi Jamil, 1. yes it is possible to specify target database name. But I dont think you can do it in the build process with an argument. You do that ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Building for both XBOX & PC

  Hello, I am trying to setup a solution that allows me to build for both the PC and XBOX. So far in my research, it appears the best way is to have 2 projects in your solutions (PC project, and an XBOX project). This method is slightly annoying however, since when you add one file to the first project, you must 'add as link' the same file to the 2nd project. I was wondering if there was a better way to do this If not, I have developed a little tool that helps with this a little. It basically takes the project info from one project file, and puts it into the 2nd project file. I was wondering if it would b possible to launch this automatically, before the project is sent off to be built I tried to use a pre-build event, but that occur ...Show All
