• Visual Studio Team System Server Timeout when creating a Team Project

  Hi all, Can anyone advise how/if i can combat this issue. I have 2 work item type files, both around 90k 2500 lines in size. When i try to create a team project in VSTS the status bar gets to work items created - then the project fails, server timed out. The whole process does take around 4-5 minutes, is this due to the size of my work items or can i increase the timeout settings to avoid this The project is available afterwards and is useable. I can then go on to use the witimport tool to make any changes. However it is still exceedingly slow. Is there a recommended size for a work item if necessary i can post my work item type file.

• Windows Forms Dynamically determine column type for a cell?

  I am using a datagridview to display some data and allow user input. After they input a value, I capture what they typed and then do a retrieval of data for that record (row) in the datagridview. If I return 1 item, I'd like the adjacent cell to be a textbox that is read only for that row, however if there are more than 1 record retrieved, I'd like to have a combobox where the user can pick the value in the adjacent cell. Can this be done I have read some stuff about virtual mode, thought maybe it could help but am unsure. One option would be to make the adjacent cell a combobox column and automatica ...Show All
