• SQL Server How to convert Dynamic Properties to SSIS Package Config?

  I'm currently trying to convert over packages from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. The biggest obstacle at the start has to do with converting my "Dynamic Properties" control. I use it to read an .ini file and load the user name and password to my connections. With 2000 it's nice and easy 1 file 3 lines. While trying to convert it I’ve had nothing but problems. I've tried the Registry Entry but it forces everything into the Current User and I can't use that I need local machine. There is no documentation and I can't have a xml file with 1000 different username and password settings because 1 person has to update that file with the new passw ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Projects vs. Source Control

  The company I work for has a structured file system for VSS6.0. We want to keep the same system for the source code, but would like to utilize Team Foundation Server and Team Projects. Do Team Projects need to be associated in the same way as source code or are they independent of the code For example, my Explorer tree looks like this: Classes MyClass HisClass WebApps WebApp_A WebApp_B Each sub-directory is a solution which could contain multiple code projects. My Team Project would consist of WebApp_A and MyClass. Is this possible If so, does it only make a reference to the directories or does it create a new dire ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System event not fired on postback

  I am doing af webtest in which i am posting some data. The recording contains a "post" to the correct page, but when i run the test, the posted data is not stored in database. I have tried this when debuging the web application which shows me, that the event handler responsible for storeing the data, is never called. I realise that javascript postbacks are not recorded, but since the actual post is recorded, I am a bit confused on how to enterpret the recording and how to collect and store the posted data! Great job figuring that out.  I just want to add that we are well aware that this is a high priority bug and we hope to f ...Show All

• Visual C# Dependencies problem

  Hello everyone, I'm experiencing the following problem: I have an app that starts a service when it's executed (so the app has a reference to the serviceproject). These two projects are client-side. Then I also have a client to communicate with the previous service. This client calls a method from the service and when that method is being called, the service should change something in my app. Problem is that I can't put a reference from my service to my app, cause it would be a circular reference. Any idea how I can sove this issue thanks in advance, Kimme You could have shared interfaces and classes in a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Test Wizard in Visual Studio Team Suite doesn't generate tests for C++/CLI classes.

  Hi all, Is there a way to generate unit tests for projects written in C++/CLI I added a Unit Test project to a solution containing C++/CLI and C# projects.  All C++/CLI projects are compiled using clr/safe.  When I right click on the Unit Test project and select Add->Unit Test, a Generate Unit Tests dialog comes up displaying the projects in the solution. If I select a C# project, unit tests are generated and added to the Unit Test project. If I select a C++/CLI project, nothing happens. I've confirmed this behavior on two separate Team Suite installations.  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2. ...Show All

• .NET Development TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider error

  Hello, I am getting the error: Specified initialization vector (IV) does not match the block size for this algorithm. Here is the code: Dim des As TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider = New TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider des.IV = New Byte (8) {} Thanks for any ideas. Tom Hi Tom, The single-argument syntax for a new VB array actually specifies the array's upper bound rather than its size, so you're essentially creating a 9-byte array (indexed 0-8) for the IV, while the 3DES CSP specifically only allows 8-byte values.

• Visual C# How to Clear TreeView nodes?

  Hi. In my application, I run a BackgroundWorker to load content from the net. In BackgroundWorkers RunWorderCompleted event handler I want to populate a treeview based on the received content. But first I need to clear the whole treeview. When I try to clear the nodes using myTreeView.Nodes.Clear(), a TargetInvocationException is thrown. I never saw that before, so I think that background worker is to blame. Any suggestions how to clear the TreeView If one thread is trying to add nodes while another is trying to remove them, then bad things will happen, exactly the type you are seeing.
