• Visual Studio Can't get LAN Booster client to use server

  When loading a solution in VC++ 2005 (RTM), I get the message "Unable to use SourceSafe LAN service, performance of SourceSafe operations will not be optimal".  SSService is running on the server and there are no errors in the application log of the server related to it.  The only entry is a message indicating the service has started.

  Hi everyone. I'm reasearching this for a class project and could really use the help! I have a simple windows service that I followed from MSDN - you, know, the one that writes to an eventlog every xx seconds. This worked great. However, what I am trying to do is launch a windows form at the timer_elapsed event. My approach was as followsL I created a form called frm_test in my service application with a simple button to close it. I instantiated the form at the timer_elapsed event using the following: dim myform as frm_test = new frm_test myform.show() unfortunately, this didn't work. When I attached a debugger to it, it ...Show All

• SQL Server Programmatically extending the project tree

  Hi, I need to write an add-in, that when installed it will add a virtual folder to the project tree (in which I can later add other stuff). The problem is even more complicated since the project I want to extend is an SSIS project (SQL Server Integration Services), and it doesn't let you customize the project structure even from the project explorer itself (can't add folders). I appreciate any help on this. Thanks. You can't add new folders to SSIS project, neither from UI nor programmatically. We automatically assign file to one of the predefined folders (based on file extention - you may no ...Show All

• Visual C# Hosting ASP.Net runtime in Winforms app to display asp.net pages from memory stream

  I'm currently trying to build an application which uses a webbrowser control to display formatted data. The pages I am trying to display might not be found on the harddrive of the local machine: they may be on a server or in a compressed file somewhere. To handle simple html requests I have created an asynchronous pluggable protocol to handle any requests and supply the pages from wherever they might be stored. What I'm trying to do however is display ASP.Net pages. I don't have a web server to use to serve these file so I have to use the winforms application to host the asp.net runtime. I'm managed to implement that and have b ...Show All

  Is it possible to create Strongly Typed Datasets (especially through the VS2005 visual editor) that use the System.Data.SqlTypes rather than the standard data types   If not, why not   It seems like such datasets would have most of the advantages of standard strongly typed datasets and would be able to handle NULLs much more easily.  ...Show All
