• Visual Studio Team System Attach a note to a work item

  I do not see any functionality to attach a note to a work item. In my view this is "must have" for any modern tracking solution. And it is available on many systems.

• Smart Device Development Using the device emulator with VS.NET 2003

  Hi, I have issues with getting the existing VS.NET 2003 emulators to work but device emulator works fine as a standalone emulator.

• Visual C# Finding your application's root folder

  I writing a game application, involving a lot of bitmap images. Due to the size of the images, I can not use the ImageList (Not to mention the difficulty of finding the correct image among 50 others, using nothing more than the index.) The problem is, when the application is compiled, the images will not be compiled with it, so I'll have to know the path to those image files. As I want my application to be as mobile as possible, I don't want to force the user to place it in a specific folder (eg. "C:/Program files/MyGame/") Isn't there some function that allows the application to find out what its root folder is, so I can just use t ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I total a sub group like in Crystal

  I'm converting some crystal reports and can't seem to find a function in SRS that does totals by group. Here is the crystal function:          Sum ({rdo.TimeWorked},{rdo.JobID} ) It takes the sum of time worked for each job id. I tried using RunningValue with a scope but that didn't work because I'm not grouping by Job ID in my report. If it helps here is what I'm trying to do.

• SQL Server SQL Impesonate Logon Problem

    Hi. I am currently working on an ASP.NET application which has to log on to SQL using a specific windows user account. As far as I am aware the only way to do this is by adding the Integrated Security=true ; property to the connection string. If you specify a user id and password then it will try to log you in as a SQL user. Is this all correct   To be able to login to the SQL server we explicitly call the LogonUser function from the   advapi32.dll then open a SQL Connection using the Integrated Security=true property. When you look at SQL Profiler it seems that there is two logon calls made when the conne ...Show All

• SQL Server Can a Data Flow Task mimic Bulk Insert?

  Hi Guys, The way I understand a Data Flow Task is that it inserts the rows from the source to destination one by one. Is there a way to make it act like a bulk insert task We have been experiencing performance issues when inserting a lot of rows from one table to another. If there's no way to actually do it, can a bulk insert task functionality be scripted Coz what I need is a table to table insert, and the bulk insert task only accepts data files as sources. Thanks!
