• Visual Studio Team System WIQL and the QueryWorkitems SOAP method

  Hi, I'm working on a Java based TFS integration project. The project is using the Axis library to make SOAP calls to the TFS webservices. I'm hoping someone familiar with the work item tracking webservice can answer a question about it. In the workflow to query for and display work items, it looks like the Team Foundation Client calls (among others) the webservice methods GetStoredQueries and QueryWorkItems. QueryWorkItems appears to take an XML representation of a work item query, while GetStoredQueries returns the WIQL (Work Item Query Language) representation of each query. I'm guessing that code to parse the WIQL is inside the Work Item ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New setup fails regarding missing STS_Config_TFS database

  This is an everything-on-one-machine type of install. The only semi-unusual bit is that there is already SQL Server 2005 Standard installed and it's supposed to be hosting the database(s). I've got all the prerequisites done to the satisfaction of the "System Health Check", but it still fails with the following: "The required Windows SharePoint Services configuration database (STS_Config_TFS) is not located on the Team Foundation Server data-tier computer. To proceed, you must exit setup and uninstall Windows SharePoint Services. Then, reinstall Windows SharePoint Services in accordance with the Team Foundation Installation Gu ...Show All

• SQL Server Permissions on a new stored procedure

  Help! I usually use SQL 2000 at work but upon deciding to work from home have installed and setup SQL express 2005. I use the management studio to write table and sps but for new sp I cannot find how to allow permission.

• Visual C++ __event alternative

  The following page : http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6f01ek09.aspx says that __event -based event handling is deprecated. In that case, what is the best way to do event handling I have a class HWClass, that talks to a hardware device. Several other classes need to read from this hardware device. However, the reading is asynchronous and HWClass needs to notify the calling object if the reading process is finished. (Bt the way, this is native C++ and not CLR) Thanks! I can not see how the __event keyword would help you Also I can noit see that it is deprectated. Also it has nothing to do with p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions BindSource and DataGridView

  I have some textboxes that are bound to a bindingsource coming from a database. I also have a datagridview that displays the contents of my bindingsource. My bindingsource is an array of class instances that was returned from a web service. My issue is users need the ability to add, edit, and delete the instances, but they can hit cancel if they like. I created a property in my class, which is the contents of the array, that says whether I need to add, edit, or delete this class instance from my database. If they hit the cancel button, I do nothing. If they hit OK, then I loop through my array and using the property I know to add, edit, or d ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Strategy/technology choice for Mobile App on VS 2005

  We have a non-mobile web app which runs asp pages with a VB.NET 2005 business rules DLL in the middle and either sql or oracle at the backend. The VB.NET DLL is activex enabled. Now we are developing a mobile app in vb 2005 for mobile data collection. This is running Sql Server CE. I would like advice on the best way to connect the mobile application to the main app (a) when the app is connected on wireless or activesync and (b) when the app is disconnected. The web app already has an integration toolset so it can create and receive XML files and it can connect to external databases to import and export data. It seems a bit goofy to ...Show All
