• Visual Studio Team System Coexistence of VSS and TFS

  Hi, Could you please confirm if co-existence of both TFS and VSS is possible and there is no impact on each other. By this what I mean is that both VSS and TFS are installed on the same box and  some projects are using VSS and some are using TFS SCM. I am worried because I saw a link http://www.eggheadcafe.com/ng/microsoft.public.vsnet.vss/Jul2005/post23030072.asp  which states that there is a issue with this (thought he is trying with Beta). I am not sure if there are any issues in the released version. Please guide as I have to make some decisions based on this. Thanks and Regards Prash   ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow problems in December CTP and WF :(

  I just installed the Devember CTP of WinFX and it seems that I can not compile WF samples.  I had the Workflow Designer sample working just before the upgrade.  I had uninstalled everything (Nov CTP, WF 1.2, WinFX), then installed the latest WinFX runtime, Windows SDK, WinFX VS integration, WF 1.2 VS Integration.  Last night I worked on WPF and WCF and all was fine.  This evening, I tried a simple recompile of the Workflow Designer sample, and no luck.  It does not raise any events, warning or hints, just says "Build Failed".  Anybody else having this problem   Thanks, Joe ...Show All

• Windows Forms Multiple icons on listview

  Has anyone figured out how to add multiple icons to a list view yet in VS 2005 with .NET 2.0 Like microsoft outlook 2003 does for attachments, priority, and the message icon... I was hoping MS would of added an image property to the subitems, but they don't seem to of done that... so anyone have a work around or a method to do this thanks! Your better bet is to use the new DataGridView control. We didn't add support for images on subitems to the listview, but we did add custom draw ability so you could draw these images yourself. -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Desktop build on build machine

  Rather than constantly checking out my tfsbuild.proj file, making changes, then, to test my changes, checking the file back in and kicking off a team build. I want to change the file directly on the build machine and run a desktop build to prove all my changes before checking the file out of source control... when I run msbuild tfsbuild.proj on the build machine I get the following error: Target CoreCompile:   C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamF oundation.Build.targets(396,5): error MSB4062: The "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Bui ld.SetEnvironmentVariable" task could not be loaded from the assembly ...Show All

• SQL Server SqlCeConnection guidelines - keep it open?

  What is exactly the recommended way of using a SqlCeConnection object in your application In all the examples I see (IBuySpyDelivery for example) it opens the connection object in the constructor and leaves it open most of the time until the class gets disposed. Is that the way to do it Or should you open and close the connection for each database action (insert/select/delete) you're doing on the local SQL Mobile database I'm a bit confused, but maybe I'm messing up the way of working on remote database servers with how it should be done on a local SQL Mobile db. Take a look at this blogpost. The co ...Show All
