• Visual Studio Team System VSS and Team Server

  It seems that I can't have some VS projects (existing ones) use VSS and others (new ones) use TFS without continually changing the configured source control plug-in. Why can't this be configured per solution   It looks like I'm pretty much forced to migrate everything or nothing, which is totally crazy. OK, I did not see anything unusual with the solution or project files. It would be worth looking at a ...Show All

• .NET Development DoEvents not available under My.Application

  Problem: When I try to add a My.Application.DoEvents statement to my form code, DoEvents is not a member of the list. Background: I started this project as a Windows Service. To make my initial draft easier to debug, I changed it to a Windows Application and added a form. The program is running and the interface works. I tried the Run Custom Code option under each of the files under My Project, thinking it might regenerate the myApplication ...Show All

• SQL Server Writting multiple rows from one input Row

  Hi: I'm trying to write a transformation script to write multiple rows from 1 input row. In SQL Server 2000 DTS I could do this by using DTSTransformStat_SkipFetch and DTSTransformStat_SkipRow.

• Windows Forms DataGridView leaks due to insuficent ToolTip cleanup

  We have a control in our application that derives from the DataGridView control. I've spent all day tracking down leaks in our app using the SciTech profiler. I believe that I have found a leak in the DataGridView that occurs through the internal DataGridViewToolTip class. When the grid is setup to use tooltips and the first one is activated the underlying ToolTip coomponent is created and part of that initialisation is to figure out what ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't update underlying database in VB 2005

  When I click the SaveItem button on my  BindingNavigator control, it appears to complete successfully, but no change is actually made to the underlying database. This is application specific. If I build a new program with a form that has controls bound to the same db, I can update the database with no problem. I added a simple form in the problem application to see if it was form-specific, but the new form won't work either. ...Show All
