• Visual Studio Team System Cannot access Documents in Team Explorer when not logged on as TFSSETUP

  I have the Beta 3 Refresh of TFS installed. I logged in as TFSSETUP and created a new Team Project (AdventureWorks). In addition, I added my personal id to the admin groups in the Team Foundation Server Security Group and Windows SharePoint Services Role. In the server/reports server, I added BUILTIN\Users to the Properties\Security (this was not enabled by default and thus everyone other than server administrators received security errors for the project portal web parts... which was not well documented, btw) When I connect in Team Explorer as TFSSETUP and access the Adventureworks Team Project, everything is fine. However, when I log in ...Show All

Directory.Exists( dirPath ) ) { Directory.CreateDirectory( dirPath ); } and the fact is that dirPath already exists but somehow the check has given a wrong result and goes on teh execute the CreateDirectory method, which results in an IOExc ...Show All

• .NET Development Removing a Relationship in a Microsoft Access Database

  I am a C# developer, using a Microsoft Access Database for data storage. How can I remove a relationship between two tables from within my C# program You first need to determine where the relationship is in your code and what it's called. Then you can delete it like this: DataSet1 ds = new DataSet1 (); ds.Relations.RemoveAt(0); ... or ... ds.Relations.Remove( this .myDataRelation); I'm assuming you had the designer create a DataSet for you with all of the related tables, constraints, relationships and so forth Of so, finding the relation is easy: open up the DataSet in the IDE and fi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista What is the difference in calling CoCreateInstance(CLSID) & CoCreateInstance() with five parameters?

  Hi All, What is the difference in calling CoCreateInstance(CLSID) & STDAPI CoCreateInstance ( REFCLSID rclsid , LPUNKNOWN pUnkOuter , DWORD dwClsContext , REFIID riid , LPVOID* ppv ); Windows CE help says we should use CoCreateInstance()with 5 parameters instead of single param. Please explain. Thanks Kiran I assume the CoCreateInstance you are calling is associated with a smartpointer of some sort. Which would mean that at the bottom, it's calling the same api. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using custom base page in Browser app (February CTP)

  Hi! I'm building a Browser app and would like all pages in my project to subclass my own implementation of Page (which is a subclass of System.Windows.Controls.Page). The only problem is that the class is partially defined in the "code behind" file of the XAML document, and partially in the .cs file generated by Visual Studio. If I specify my own base page as the base class of my page, the compiler gives me the folloing error: Partial declarations of 'WinFXXAMLBrowserApplication1.Page1' must not specify different base classes. How would one go about doing this Thanks for any help. ...Show All

  I have a class that creates worker threads using Asnychronous Method Calls using an Array of Delegates each one is invoked by iterating through the array and calling BeginInvoke (have posted an excerpt below *not the actual code*). My question is what is the suggested maximum number of Asynchronous items to have working in the background at the same time. I know each is a new thread and by default there is a maximum of 25 threads available in the pool on a normal single processor workstations. I also know that when the maximum is reached the additional ones are serialized and put into a holding area (qued ) until another thread becomes avail ...Show All
