• Visual Studio Team System TF26212 - How To Diagnose

  I have made changes to my work item type. I get TF26212 when I create a new work item. How can I diagnose this Is there a log or something that is a bit more informative that "something is wrong with my wit". One thing you might have done is created some conflicting rules when you made the edits to your work item type definition. These conflicting rules may be difficult to find.

• SQL Server Client Certificates with SQL Mobile replication

  I am currently trying to replicate a SQL Mobile 2005 database with a SQL Server 2005 database through web synchronization using SSL Server AND Client Certificates. On IIS, with "Require Client Certificates" unchecked, I can replicate fine. Once I turn it on, I get a message from replication saying "A Secure Socket Layer connection is required to access this site". I have installed a client certificate in IE, and can access the https:// servername /Ojt/sqlcesa30.dll site (I tried removing the client certificate, and I was denied access, then reinstalled it and it worked - so I think that part is working). Does anyone have any experience with this My production operating environment requires client-side certificates. ...Show All

  Is there a way to debug custom rules in vs2005 without using the stand-alone fxcop Thanks a lot, Mahendra. Hi David, Let me explain you the way I have my projects set up - 1.

• Visual Studio Invalid argument for database

  Hi, I have a report that is connecting to two different databases and retrieving data from a stored procedure in each. My problem is that when I try and set the destination of the database at runtime, I get the following error: Invalid Argument provided. Failed to open a rowset. Error in File C:\DOCUME~1\JAMES\LOCALS~1\Temp\temp_{5E8F9D66-6EFF-47E9-96F7-65D32A761DCC}.rpt: Invalid argument for database I have other reports connecting to the two databases and I am setting their destination at runtime with no problems. The only difference in this report is the fact that it is using stored procedures rather than tables directly. Strangely enough, when I set the designtime location of the database to be the location that i am sett ...Show All

• Architecture Problems with Owner Draw Menus in an out of process ActiveX Document Server

  My Document Server is written with C++ MFC and built using VS .NET 2003 and is targetted to WinXP and newer. I’ve now run out of ideas on how to resolve my owner draw problem when an OLE container attempts to render my shared menus. Everything is fine when the keyboard is used to activate the menubar items. This is because the container is using WM_NCPAINT etc to create a real screen drawing context. This context is then passed through to the in place frame of my server where it will succeed in drawing the menu items ( WM_DRAWITEM ) When the menu bar item is clicked on with the mouse, however, the container make use of WM_PRINT, WM_PRINTCLIENT to render to a memory HDC. When this HDC is passed to my out of process serve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to pass parmeters to TFSBUILD at run time from another application

  I have written a custom task (rel ated to another post of mine ) that would take in a set of work item ids and get the item versions specific to the changes sets associated with these workitemsids. I do other stuff in the custom task (to get from release branch first instead etc..). I have tested my custom task in TFSBUILD.proj. It works great. Now I need to trigger this TFSBUILD.prof from another tool (custom build automation tool we have). The question for me is how do i pass parmaters like work item ids) at the run time. I looked at TFSBUILD Start command , but it does not show me a way to pass parameter values. Msbuild /p and TFSBuild.rsp file seems to be other options. But I am not quite sure how can i use them.
