• Visual Studio Team System Error 28918 - error calling Tfs Registration web service

  Anyone else get this error on install of the Application tier This is on a dual server setup New OS install w/ IIS & WSS (yes, I installed WSS in Server Farm mode) The message text: "Either IIS is not running or is not configured properly" concerns me.  This is an out of the box install. Curious,  the install documentation explicitly states not to add TFSSERVICE and TFSREPORTS to the local administrators group.  The single-server install works without a problem, the dual-server has been quite frustrating as it has already sucked about three days of life out of me. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Need to use DIA SDK 7.1 to get local variable names from PDB files

  Anyone have any experience, or ideally, code samples to query a PDB file for local variable names We can get the method's IDiaSymbol via the metadata token, but the symbols contained by that IDiaSymbol don't have documented interfaces for variables. We do see some data-type symbols that have strings that corresponds to variable names, but we're shooting in the dark regarding slot numbers, liveness ranges, and associated goodies. I'd love to move to the next release of the DIA SDK, which presents all this as API calls, but I am not able to do so due to other release constraints. Are there any examples of doing this type of work usin ...Show All

• .NET Development Types of JIT Compiler

  Hi all, I heard that there are different types of JIT compilers available.Is it so If YES..What are the different types of JIT compilers available right now Thanks, Suresh. I guess there are specialized compilers for each platform (x86, x64...), but they would not be "available" - the framework would choose the correct one for the platform it runs on. I've never heard of any other JIT compilers to choose from... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team build - 'enlistment is empty'

  I have two team projects defined, and I've previously created a team build for one of them. Now, when I try to create a new team build in either team project I get a diaglog that says "Enlistment is empty.  The workspace " server " does not have any working folder mappings (where server is replaced with the name of my TFS server). One oddity that I note - in the source controll explorer, the "workspace" is named the same as the client machine, while the Team Build error dialog is griping about a workspace named the same as the TFS app-tier machine.  What's a 'workspace' in this context   Where are they defined   How can I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Estimating time and assigning scenarios...

  1- Isn't a scenario always broken down into one or more tasks for developers to impelement 2- If the above statement is true, then why do we assign scenarios to individuals Why do we assign scenarios to anyone at all, since implementing the scenario would actually mean implementing each of its individual tasks 3- Is it correct to estimate a time for a whole scenario Shouldn't we actually estimate the time for each task requried to be done to acomplish this scenario 4- Isn't a scenario just another name for a use case (with alternative courses, exceptions and all) or am I confused Thank you, Sammy The scena ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get local directory of a web service

  I swear MSDN gets a little more useless all the time, as I've searched the .NET documentation to no avail on this one. I've created a web service, and I need to get the local path to the webservice directory. For instance, my webservice is located at the usual C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebService. I just need to get this string dynamically (without hard-coding it) so I can save off some files there at runtime. I tried Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase, but that gives me the "Temporary ASP.NET Files" directory that my assembly gets copied off to. Thanks, AJ I know that in W32 you can use Ge ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio .NET 2005 Team Suite - English DVD Volume Label???

  Hi everyone, I downloaded Visual Studio .NET 2005 Beta 2 .ISO file and SQL Server 2005 April CTP .ISO and managed to put them all on 1 DVD (yes, i'm that stingy). After burning the DVD, I thought that the Setup would work fine so I deleted all the ISO files. My bad, the VS.NET 2005 Setup kept asking me to insert the DVD into the drive regardless of the fact that the DVD WAS in the drive but it just kept asking. I think this has something to do with the volume label of the DVD, I labelled it "MSDEV2005". Could any  please let me know what the original label of the DVD is so that I can reburn. Thank you very much, Regards ...Show All
