• Visual Studio Team System Assignment and delegation: Is teher any way to assign a WI to a Group?

  Hi, is there any way to assign a work item to a Group (Windows or VSTS). I read a post that said it is not possible to assign to more than one resource, but what about a Group Thanks a lot i guess there's no other way.. except.. creating a program that will get all the members in a particular project and assigned it to them one by one automatically... (but it will create different workitem id but all same contents.) ...Show All

• SQL Server Logon Failu unknown user name or bad password - using xp_cmdshell or bulk insert

  We had some SQL Server automated web routines that stopped working when some security patches were applied either to SQL Server 2000 or Windows Server 2000. The Web users would upload a file to a directory on the web server. Then a Stored Procedure would be executed that would do a bulk insert into our SQL Server table. The bulk insert now fails giving this error #1326: Logon Failure: unknown user name or bad password. It used to work flawlessly. The share that is the upload folder on the Web server allows proper permissions for access. I tried to see if I could copy the file first using the xp_cmdshell because the bulk insert works fine if ...Show All

  Hi All,    I have a problem with the ColumnChanging event: (VS 2005 BETA 2)    The ColumnChanging event seems to fire correctly for textbox controls, but for some reason, a databound combobox does not raise the event properly.  I tried scrolling up and down (keyboard) as well as choosing a specific item (mouse), but no luck yet.    To generate the event, I double-clicked the specific column in the Dataset Designer.  All the other textbox controls work as expected except for the combobox control.  Any help    Regards,       Giovanni ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to Stop Windows from updating mouse position automatically

  I recently need a special mouse behavior. When mouse moves, the cursor should not act as the default windows behavior. For example, when moving mouse left, the cursor actually circles clockwise. The problem is that using SetCursorPos makes the mouse cursor flicking. It's because the default cursor position is different with the new position I set. I need the default windows cursor and cannot implement an owner-draw cursor using GDI or something else for some reasons. I'm not sure if it is possible to stop the windows cursor from updating automatically. Why you are wating for the mouse move messages They are created by windows and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Mechanism to see Work Item Queries actual SQl Statement

  Is there a mechanism to see Work Item Queries actual SQL statement without needing to do a witexport There's no mechanism to see the SQL statements corresponding to a work item query.  However, if you are referring to the WIQL (or Work Item Query Language) for a query, you can see this by doing a Save As... from VS on the query.  Save the query as a .WIQ file and open the file in notepad to see the XML with the embedded WIQL query.  To learn more about WIQL, download the VS 2005 SDK October edition from http://affiliate.vsipmembers.com/affiliate/downloadfiles.aspx  and view the Team System section. ...Show All
