• Visual Studio Team System Duplicate Project Names

  I am running TFS Beta 3. I have a situation where I have cancelled the creation of a new project (during the phase of it downloading the templates) and now I can't re-create the project with the same name. It says it already exists, although its not available as an Add Existing Project either. Is there anything I can run on the server that will  validate all existing project data in the database Regards Graham Thanks for the info Michael. Unfortunately in the end I needed this server working as planned so I simple uninstalled TFS and STS, removed their databases and reinstalled. All is working now ;-) G ...Show All

• SQL Server Logging from a custom source adapter

  I'm having alot of trouble figuring out the proper way to log from inside my custom source adapter. I couldn't find my useful information in MSDN, it mostly applies to logging from inside a script task.

• Visual Studio how to inject files into a target?

  Is there a way to inject source files into a target before the build starts in VS2005 I want to do some external processing and perhaps add source files to a target when the project is built. I tried this doing it in BeforeBuild/PreBuild but changes to the target were not read until the next build. Is it accurate to say BeforeBuild/PreBuild are executed earliest in the build NOT before the build. I'm looking for a pre pre-build hook. How exactly are you "injecting" these files I'd have to know more about your situation, to really go into it but I'll give it a shot. It seems like there are some conditions that must be met before you ad ...Show All

• Windows Forms Detecting state of DataGridView

  I have the classic problem of what to do with changes to a row that have not yet been committed when the user does a save. I'm using a DataGridView control in Virtual Mode (which is a truly sweet feature.) User edits a cell and doesn't move to another cell  / row ( ) so that the change is not "committed" i.e. not pushed to the changed value back into the grid and its underlying data structure. He then does the save command. The problem is that the old value rather than the new gets saved. I should use the dgv leave event to do force the push, but 1) How can I detect the need to do the force 2) What is the recommended way to ...Show All

• .NET Development Client requires callbacks

  Hi, I've been developing an application for transfer files between server and client. The remotable object is hosted in IIS on server. The client uses a Windows application for transferring files.

I've used the following configuration files for Server and Client and it works fine on my own compute. But when I add the Server portion on a different computer accessible through Internet, it gives me an error "Could not connect to the remote machine because the target machine active ...Show All
