• Visual Studio Team System Different test results by using of Performance Tools

  I crated a very simple project (WinForms). The project has only one form and one button. When you press the button two simple functions are invoked: f1 and f2.   Then I created a performance instrumentation session, which lunches the executable through the project. The result seems to be ok. For example the tab functions show following list: -          WindowsApplication1.Form1..ctor() - ...Show All

• SQL Server How to Delete Files on Maintenance Plan

  Hello, I am creating a Maintenance Plan in SQL Server 2005. The 'Back Up Database Task' has the choice 'Create a sub-directory for each database' as SQL Server 2000 does. But when I add a 'Maintenance Cleanup Task' I do not see a choice to delete files on subdirectories. Looks like it only deletes the files from the directory I specify. So, looks like SQL Server 2005 is removing some functionality already available in SQL Server 2000. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Emulator softkeys

  I recently upgraded to VS 2005 FC1 and now I have a problem. For some reason, the Windows Mobile 5 Emulator's softkeys are mapped to numeric keys. For example, pressing the left softkey while in the home view will result in a '1' being entered instead of display the start menu. Pressing the right softkey will result in a '2'. Pressing the home and back buttons work. Pressing the Green phone button will result in a '3' and the red phone button in ...Show All
