• Visual Studio Team System Migrating From RC to RTM on a different physical server

  We have an old server with the RC build of TFS and we want to do two things: Upgrade to RTM (but keep the old server for backup – we can't trash it) Move all the data to a new server with the RTM version is there a way to migrate RC data into RTM Data directly If not, we can install the RC version, THEN migrate existing data into the new RC installation THEN upgrade that to RTM The questions are: - What does * migrate * all data mean between the RC versions (not RTM) (does simply copying all the SQL databases over onto the new server solve this fully , or are there various registry and config file settgins we'll need to move ) - What does * migrate * all data mean between the RTM ...Show All

• Visual C# ManagementScope.Connect taking 20 seconds

  In the code listed below, I am attempting to do a ManagmentScope.Connect to do a WMI query on a remote machine. While this connect only takes milliseconds on most machines on others it takes up to 20 seconds. One the ones that it takes 20 seconds on I recieve the following error: ERROR: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706BA): The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA) I am OK with the failure, but I cannot have the failure taking 20 seconds to return control back. I attempted to set the ManagementScope.Options.Timeout value to 500 milliseconds but still doesn't return back control for 20 seconds. Any help would be greatly appriciated!

• Smart Device Development Nullable Enums and Generic Collections in the Same Class Cause an Exception

  I have found an interesting problem while working with .NET CF and would like to determine if this is a bug in .NET CF or if I have missed something completely. I am working in Visual Studio 2005 writing a class library that works with .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 targeted for PocketPC 2003 and later (the problem also exists without SP1). The problematic behavior is exhibited on an actual device as well as the PocketPC 2003 SE emulator. The problem does not show up on the standard framework. Here's the problem: a class that contains an application-defined nullable enum field and a field containing an object that inherits from a generic collection causes a TypeLoadException. The following is a C# console ap ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Name of the validation database

  Hi, A very quick one. I have 3 datadude projects, hence 3 validation databases. 2 of these DBs are named: <last-few-characters-of-the-project-name>_DB_<guid> The third one is named <full-project-name>_DB_<guid> Why the difference I know its nothing to do with truncation in order to keep the database name under a certain length because the name of the third one is much longer than the other two. Just interested to know that's all. -Jamie Bruce Johnson - MSFT wrote: Haven't seen this issue before.

• Windows Forms DataGridView binding self joined nested table for tree view

  I tried many things to bind the following table to show a tree view id int parent id text But I was never able to display the values of this table in the grid as tree view - only in a linear way. I added a relation id <->>parentid I bound the datagridview to a binding source which contained the dataset as datasource and the relation as member. No success. Is this possible, are there examples TIA Hi, If it is ok for you to use third-party controls, maybe you should try Hierarchical DataGridView control which is developed especially to address similar problems.
