• Visual Studio Team System Automatic retrieval of latest version on checkout?

  Hi, Since I could not get the latest version automatically with the old SourceSafe (VS 2003), I hoped this was 'solved' with Team System. However, when I tried to get this done, I could not manage it. The problem I have to deal with is that my colleagues and I work together on the same source (I think that is what has to be done with SourceSafe/TS ). Whenever we change something and check in our source, the new source has to be used. When I che ...Show All

• Visual Basic User session logon time!

  I am inquiring about information on whether it is possible to determine how long a user has been logged on for. What I hope to accomplish is to determine if a user has been logged on for more than an 24 hours and if so, display a splash screen of some type to tell them to log off. I don't want to log them off, politics involved. Every where I look I haven't been able to come up with a solution. I did find a sample script to check event logs, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Invoking MSBUILD from Inside an App

  So I have created some custom MSBUILD tasks (to deploy SQLCLR assemblies). They work fine when I execute them from command line: msbuild /t:taskname project_file. However when I try and execute from inside an application by using the Engine.BuildProjectFile, I can't get it to work. That's not the main problem as at the moment I am explicitly sending in params which should make it fail. The weird part is that I can not get any output back. I have ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Performance degradation after the conversion of windows app from .net 1.1 to .net 2.0

  I could see that there is significant performance degradation after the conversion of our windows application from .net 1.1 to .net 2.0. It was running fine in .net 1.1 and VS2003, but after the migration to .net 2.0 and VS2005 many screens are loading very slowly. I could not figure out the actual reasons for this performance degradation. We can also see that the application runs little faster if it runs out side VS2005. I am using Visual ...Show All
