• Visual Studio Team System "Documents" from Team Explorer, user has to be SharePoint Administrator?

  Hello, Does anybody have a solution for this problem: The neat feature that all documents from the Team Portal are available from within Visual Studio is very cool. But, with our installation, it seems as if only users who are assigned the "Administrator" role in SharePoint may use it. All other users get red X instead of the documents. Does this necessarily have to be like that Or is it some kind of bug in either SharePoint or the Team Explorer Or have we misconfigured one of the servers Any ideas I hope this is the correct group for asking this. Best regards, Martin Bill, Okay, that is most probably the problem here (Edit: It is, confirmed). Enabling access to all document libraries for all de ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Query Avg,Min,Max in an Access/Jet database problem

  Hello, Why Select AVG(Something) As Expr1 From Table1 returns the Warning message: "The schema returned by the new query differs from the base query" in Search Criteria Builder. Is any solution to this problem Thanks, You are certainly right, there is no code on that Form. I believed that the same way as the GridTable was filled, I could drag the desired column from the Data Sources window and perform a querry on it for AVG.

• .NET Development How to accomplish fault isolation with AppDomain?

  Hi all, I have read several articles on the net, and also Juval Lowy's "Programming .NET Components (2nd ed.)" and these references imply that it is possible to achieve fault isolation to the same degree that you traditionally got from using multi-process programs, using AppDomains. At the same time, I have read other articles, in particular those describing the Application Pool architecture of ASP.NET which leads me to believe that in order to achieve true fault isolation, you still need to use multiple processes. My own experiments seem to lead to the same conclusion. What is the right answer Could someone on this forum offer pointers to some good references or some additional insight To be complete, here's an outli ...Show All

• Commerce Server Documentation on Web Services

  Is there any documentation available on what the web methods in the web services actually do I'm familiar enough with the native commerce server API commands that I can usually infer how these web methods work, but I'd still rather see some documentation on MSDN. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/sdkmref/html/T_Microsoft_CommerceServer_Catalog_WebService_CatalogWebService.asp Basically, most of the interesting methods are inherited from CatalogServerContextBase, which seems to be located in the Microsoft.CommerceServer.Catalog.Internal namespace, which is also not available on MSDN. This isn't a critical issue or anything, it's just difficult to explain how to use these web methods to developers who ...Show All

• SQL Server How to Fail SQL Task...

  I have several packages that I download files using a sql task (I cmd shell out). I use sql task because the file names change everyday.  what I want to know is how can I check to see if the file I downloaded exists either within the same task (preferred) or a task right after I want to fail the package instead of letting it get into the actual loading of the file where it now fails at.

• Visual C# C# and Adobe PDF Reader

  We all know how easy it is to display a pdf in a C# application, but the problem that I can't seem to figure out is how to create a reference to any version of Adobe Reader installed on the users machine. If I use AcroPDF.dll from reader 8, I cannot open a pdf within my application if the user has either a newer or older version installed. Is there any way around this Can I create a reference to any version of Adobe Reader installed on the machine Thanks in advance. I do not think this is an Adobe issue: Adobe Reader 8 is just my paricular case. Maybe I am asking the question incorrectly. Is there a method in Visual Studio or C# to create a reference to a com object that is not version specific In th ...Show All

• SQL Server Distributed Transaction

  Hi again, I do not know when to use Distributed Transaction. Would you please give an example about its usage or give a tutorials about this Thanks distributed transaction involves more than one server. meaning you can create transaction tokens that are distributed across the enterprise.   A single sql server alone would not be enough to handle data for a very large enterprise. Sql server can be scaled out by adding additional server. Distibuted transaction allows you to perform an ACID operations between servers.   transaction stipulates that all work needs to be done other wise everything rolls back. distributed transaction  allows you to work on differents server( server1 ...Show All

• .NET Development Error using a managed c++ dll in a c# app

• SQL Server Cannot change server authentication in Management Studio Express

  I use the Mangement Studio Express to manage a MSDE 2000 instance and notice that the Server authentication area in the Security is disabled for that instance. But for an Express instance, the Server authentication area is enabled.
