• RonSQL Team System Builds and dropping an MSI

  Hi, I just started using Team System this week, and I've been able to muddle along fairly well, but I've just discovered something that to me is a real show stopper.

My problem is that the team system build does not build the Setup projects ...Show All

• miloush No way to update AreaPath dropdown through Microsoft Project

  I have resigned myself to the fact that the only way to add new area paths is by doing so manually through TFS.  For example, I can't create new ones and attempt to publish them through Microsoft Project. But why , after having added new areas to TFS, can't I get the dropdown in the area column of Microsoft Project to have the new value in it.  The only workaround, which is pretty close to unacceptable, is to create a new ...Show All

  Well assuming that a 3 tiered architecture of a program written in non object oriented language like visual basic 6.0, it has user interface files, logical files that support functions or functionalities, we will have the final tier…the database tier where sometimes we have all our data stored, some stored procedures and functions, that also contribute to the logical tier. So the question is: how do I make control version with TFS in Sql se ...Show All
