• Visual Studio Team System Merge and branch in various versions of a software in clients but similar in structure

  I hope you can help me out on this one. My company produces an ERP that is based on visual studio 6 and sql server 2005. We need to implement a control version that assures version control, check in policies etc. TFS is the solution for us but there are some issues that I cannot solve. We have a base application for our clients and each client has our base application modified to their need. So here if we branch the base application we have the new client version. The problem here is: how do I have access to a project portal if I branch from the source control explorer without creating a new team project I want to create branches in the source control explorer and not creating a new team project so that I can manage to get a tre ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions why this expression is invalid?

• SQL Server SQL Native Client Configuration or Remote Connections problem

  If I look under SQL native client configuration | Client protocols, I have no entries and no ability to look at the properties of SQL Native client Configuration.

• SQL Server simple text processing e.g. regex search and replace

  I've got an nvarchar(max) column that I need to transform with some simple text processing: insert some markup at the very beginning, and insert some markup just before a particular regular expression is matched (or at the end, if no match is found).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Really, REALLY strange "bug" with Vector3

  For my ray tracer, I created my own Vector struct that pretty much wraps a Vector3. The thing is, I used to have just three floats; X, Y, and Z. Now I just unioned them with the Vector3. For some reason, rendering time cut down by about 15% (i.e. from 10 seconds to 8.5). I removed the Vector3 and it went back to being 10 seconds. ...Wtf Is there a hidden type constructor with Vector3 that makes it much more efficient I'm not even using any of the Vector3 methods for my transforms and such.

• SQL Server Processing failures result in hangs - "Canceling process operation. Please wait."

  Whenever I process a cube and it fails (usually because of referential integrity issues and me forgetting to ignore errors), I'll click "stop", but the dialog will hang with the canceling notice. The only way I've discovered to get around this is to restart the SSAS server, but it just feels like I may be corrupting data or something by doing this. Is this a known issue Are there better ways of working around this Also, what are the best ways to debug the RI issues that typically cause cube processing to fail They way to solve this problem, in short terms, is to add dummy dimension members like "Not applicable" i each dimension have use this member as a fact dimension key when the d ...Show All
