  Hi, We're getting the following error attempting to unshelve changes in TFS Source: A database error occurred (SQL error 208) ---> Invalid object name 'func_CheckForMergeFailure' When I look in the TFSVersionControl db this function does not exist and I cannot find it in any of the other TFS databases. It looks like it was not created during install. I cannot find any information on this problem anywhere! Where should this function be Is there any way of creating it without rerunning the installer as it is a live server.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Cannot install neither VC nor VB on vista?

  I'm trying to install VB6 and VC6 on my computer and before the installation I get error saying "ODBC's sqlinstalldrivermanager failed" then, at the 'actual' installation, when installer tries to copy DBNMPNTW.dll file, it stops and say "VB(VC)6.0 professional setup was not completed sucessfully" I'v set the installer (ACMSETUP.exe)'s previlege level to administrator and it still gets that error.

• SQL Server VS Changes Table Attributes on Save

  I've spent HOURS on this!!! In an effort to get around the seemingly mindless decision to not allow a page header to appear on ONLY the first page of a report, I've coded up a work-around using a table that, essentially, looks like this: <table> width 7.5" <tr> height .5" <td> width 1.9, height .5, image </td> <td> width 5.6" <table> width 5.6" <tr> height .3" <td> width 5.6" , height .3", text </td> </tr> <tr> height .2" <td> width 5.6" , height .2", text </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> By turning off the repeat options, I g ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Smart & Lazy Scrollable List ;-)

  Hello, I'm using a gridview/listview in order to display a grid of data to the user. However the potential # of rows can be very very large. So: 1. I don't want to get the entire list. 2. If I can, I would like to avoid (first, prev, next, last) paging scheme. So I was thinking maybe I could break the list into pages and employ lazy loading. In other words, have a slot of pages (lets say 5 pages), and as the user scrolls, I move the slot of pages and proactively gather rows from the db, keeping a few steps ahead of the user. I realize that the user may scroll faster than the lazy-loader or may just jump to the end of the list (I'm not sure how to solve those problems yet: one step at a time I guess). I got 2 of questio ...Show All

• SQL Server distrib.exe --- Many instances running

  How many instances of distrib.exe should be running Yesterday I created multiple publications in SQL 2005. without counting, it looks like each publication has its own distrib.exe.... it this the way it is supposed to work Each instance it holding 8k of ram (not a problem right now) but I have many more publications to create... Please let me know if this is the way SQL server works now Thanks for the explanation. I just wanted to make sure it was normal... The reason for the multiple publications is not for the purpose of the subscriptions but rather the publications them selves.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Raising an Event from a Workflow

  Hi, I have a very simple question. I have a WinFX Browser Application. Through this I start a Workflow and add a Service into this. The Browser Application Registers for Events in the Service. This event is raised by the Workflow itself when a certain condition is met. For some reason the Workflow raises the event but the code on the Browser Application never gets executed. I have searched everywhere for an example of this kind but could not find any. Could someone tell me how to get this done. Thanks I don't know if that's correct, but in my mind you are trying a workflow to host communication; one way to achieve this is to provide a method in the service that can be called by the workflow (via an ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using a Workflow by a Windows and a Web Application at the same time

  Hi Everybody, I just saw many Web Casts about WWF and I'm wondering is it possible to start the first activity of a Workflow by a Windows Application then doing the second Activity by a Web Application. I think it is not possible in the case where both Windows and Web applications must share the Same Workflow instance. Mybe there is a possibility to do that by using a Web Service by instantiating the Workflow on it then pass the reference of the Workfow by a Web Method. Thanks For Help. Hi, it's me again !!
