• Visual Studio Team System Add objects to project ?

  Hi There I have created a new DB project. All i want to do now is add a couple of tables to the project from an existing database. I cannot find a way to do this All the help files mention is importing an existing DB schema , i do not want to import the whole schema as it is really huge , i simply want to add a few tables etc, but cannot find a way to do it I am having the same problem with compares, all i want to do is compare 2 tables in one database to the same tables in another database but it seems my only choice is to do a full compare between the databases, as mentioned their schema are huge all i want to do is 1 or 2 objects not the whole database, is this not possible Thanx Dietz ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Just to clarify TeamSystem license - TFS

  I have been reading a lot of different information about TFS x TeamSystem license model, concerning Cals etc One thing I am almost sure is when we sign for MSDN Premium TeamSystem (whether Suite, Dev, Tester or Arch), we do have rights for 5 CALs to access TFS. Another issue has to do with using this package after expiration. I have posted previously about the possibility of signing for MSDN Premium TeamSystetm Suite, and when renewing, choosing a lower package (tester for instance). In this case, I would not receive any other new features on the other versions (in this case Dev and Arch), but I would be fully license covered to continue using the whole package I had up to that moment. Could anyone from Microsoft confirm this 2 in ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to create default fault handler for state machine workflow

  Dear all, A few months back, I asked the question: Trevor E Hilder wrote: 1) It is a major irritation that I cannot apparently define a fault handler for the whole state machine workflow (which can be done in a sequential workflow). Is there any way to provide such a global fault handler, which can then be overridden by local ones inside the states Paul Andrew kindly replied: You can create a super state that contains all of the states in your workflow. This superstate can have a fault handler which applies to the whole workflow. I asked him for clarification of how to do this, but he didn't reply and I got involved in other issues. I have just tried to do what he suggested, b ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Application.LoadComponent() for unreferenced assemblies

  Application.LoadComponent() works well for xaml files that are inside referenced assemblies (ie. added as a project reference). I have a specific scenario where my assemblies will be stored in a subfolder but are not referenced. I still need to be able to call LoadComponent() to load the xaml files inside those assemblies. Is this possible or an unsupported scenario Note that my assemblies would be in a subfolder, relative to the application. I haven't been able to find a solution in the SDK docs. This scenario is a core requirement for the plugin architecture that I am building. Anyone dealt with something like this before Actually you can programmatically set the probe path if you are not comfortable with app.config file: App ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions String and numbers

  Hi there. I would like to khow how can I use only numbers from the following string: T 30 35. From this string I want to use the two numbers as x = 30 and y = 35. T may be a dummy variable. I would appreciate if you could send me an example code. Thank you in advance. NM This article might help: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/IsNumeric.asp Taken from that article, there is a function that would determine if the value of the string is a number. public bool isNumeric( string val, System.Globalization.

• SQL Server A lock could not be acquired after 16 attempts and timed out

  Hi! I'm trying to handle errors in SSIS package.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 2D game - The Camera

  How exactly do I move the camera when developing a 2D game for backgrounds that extend out of view So when the player moves the camera follows him. Is there even a camera lol   Kris Nye wrote: In a 2D game (assuming you're intending to use SpriteBatch) there is no Camera. You are responsible for performing any translations when calling SpriteBatch draw methods. So for movement I'm suppose to move the background instead of the player Would it be better to just create my 2D scene in 3D space and move the view matrix EDIT: Are there any tutorials on doing the 2D in 3D way ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net as a COM object deployment problem.

  I have a C# project that both uses ActiveX wrappers and is compiled as a library for use with COM. I then have a C++ wrapper that is compiled as a .dll which exports the functionality of the C# project to be used by a C type client (this is actually used in a MMI program that has the ability to call a function in a dll of a specific signature.) This works fine on my developnment machine but when I move the code base to a different machine I start running into problems. If I simply copy the progrom over I crash when I try to create a pointer to the interface i.e MyNameSpace::_MyInterfacePtr p(__uuidof(MyNameSpace::MyInterfacePtr)); Of course this doesn't work. The system has no clue what I want. But if I register the assembly on the s ...Show All

• SQL Server How to grant rights for the anonymous IIS web user IUSR_.. to execute scalar function in assembly

  Dear all, Basically I want to set chain up the rights so that the anonymous web user IUSR_ .. can execute the new .NET subs, functions etc in the assembly , just as the anonymous web user can execute Stored Procedures when granted. In this way, it should be possible to call the .NET assembly just as classic stored procedures from ASP/ASP.NET. I have written a .NET function which I can successfully execute if I log on to the database as an administrator by sending this T-SQL query; it returns the result of a given string: select dbo.CLRHTMLString('abc') The scenario is now to try to grant access to this assembly for a different role (webuser), which the classic IUSR_MYSERVERNAME is a login of, so that I can call the .NET Assembly when I a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form.TomMost Property didn't work correctly on visual Basic 2005

  Hi every body in visual basic 2005 ,the form.TopMost Property didn't work correctly in visula basic 2005. I set TopMost property to ture,but my form lost focus when user clicks on another form. I Need this information to complete my job. I have a few items which are always on top (ObjectDock, for example), which sometimes disappear to the background. Usually I have to 'reset' it to be back on top. It doesn't use the .NET framework, so I guess the issue is that always on top is unreliable. I believe that there are probably some applications which use the always on top mechanism to bring a form to the foreground, which messes up forms which truly need to be always on top. I guess you can simply ...Show All
