• Visual Studio Express Editions Is vc++ 6.0 good

  i bought a book on vc++6.0.can i build powerful software applications with that.what is the difference between the vc++6.0 and vc++ 2005.what is the latest released version Well... you could use VC++ 6.0 but that's too old really. VC++ 6.0 was released about 8 years ago and I'd say that the quality of the C++ compiler and the IDE itself improved a bit since then . Not to mention that there is a free version of VC++ 2005 called "Express" (though it does not have support for MFC and ATL) see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error HTTP 403 - Forbidden access when browsing to VSTFWeb

  I need to get back to this issue because I didn't get any answer yet. We have installed successfully Team Foundation Server on a Win2K3 Server box that’s part of a Win2K Active Domain. The account used to install TFS has local administration privileges (not that it matters) and is also an existing domain account. We have a Single Server installation (both Data Tier and Application Tier) being hosted on the same machine. We weren’t able to connect VS2005 to the Team Foundation Server, so digging into this issue we got to the point where trying to browse to the VSTFWeb page on the TFS machine (while logged with the same account that was ...Show All

• .NET Development Thread Serialization

  There are several project that have proposed mecanism for the transmission/storage of computation (i.e. thread serialization) is Java. Is there any equivalent in .Net (any equivalent expected with .Net 2.0 ). Thanks in advance, Joannes Vermorel As far as I am aware, there are just proposals or research projects in the Java space. I don't think Tiger supports this. It could see it is an interesting thing to explore, but we have no current plans for this. ...Show All

• SQL Server clustered 2k5 can't connect to clustered 2k

  I'm building a new fail-over cluster (SQL2k5 Ent on Win2k3 Ent) to replace our current cluster (SQL2k Ent on Win2kAS). One problem I keep running into seems to be related to the SSIS so I hope I've posted this in the correct place. While attempting to simply connect to the 2k instance from the 2k5 instance using "Management Studio" I get an error stating: "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server.

• .NET Development Best database choice?

  I am wondering what the consensus is on choosing a database solution for a windows forms application when developing for the following criteria: 1. For applications that need to be deployed with their database on target computers (nothing complicated like oracle or ms SQL). 2. small amounts of data...( say...less than 500 mb of data [basically only need to persist small amounts of data between application executions ]) What kinds of storage media are easiest to develop and deploy   Is it best to use something like access, dbase, an xml file, or something else Thanks Thanks for the repl ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS shadow folder permission problem

  Hi, I want to apply source control on a shared folder sitting on one of our servers. I used shadow folders to reflect the changes whenever somebody checks in, and it works fine. However we have templates (.ascx) files in this shadow folder and when we try to load these templates from ASP.NEt we get permission errors. Is there any other way to reflect the changes to a shared folder Thanks > This makes me think that VSS changes the files in some way when it is copying them to shadow folders upon check in. No, VSS does not change the files in a weird way that will prevent the files to ...Show All
