• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer - red cross on "documents"-folder

  Since installation of TFS I am unable to see the content of the documents-folder (teamexplorer) on a client-machine. There is always a red cross on the folder! If I start the team explorer on the server the documents folder is shown correctly. I tried to copy the http-url ( http://[servername]/sites/[Project ]) to an IE on a client and there the sharepoint site is shown without any problems. I did the changes required after installation of Sharepoint Portal Services SP2 ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/10/07/478336.aspx ). I think I also configured the users like mentioned in the install guide (TFSInstall-v50926.chm - Manag ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Beta 2 problems with any workflow & designer

  Hello, I have a Windows Vista CTP December 05 machine on which I had installed the WinFX RTC CTP December, the Windows SDK CTP December, the Orcas VS Extensions CTP December and the WWF Extensions CTP December. All of them worked OK. I'm using the RTM Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite and RTM SQL 2005 Developer Edition. Now I uninstalled them in the reverse order and it seemed that the machine was clean. I could not see the the WinFX RTC in Vistas uninstall console, but I used the uninstall tool vs_uninst_winfx.exe instead. Is that not enough to uninstall the WWF runtime components There was no entry in Vistas uninstall cons ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions installation help

  I just downloaded Visual C++ Express Edition and then tried to install it. The framework installed well, but when installing VC++, the computer gives a error saying that a folder could not be created. It doesnt work even after retrying the procedure. Can someone please help me Any help will be gladly appreciated. Thank You. The install needs to write to several system directories and the registry, for this the user that you are running under will need to have the correct permissions to install to those points. This means that the user will have to be a power user or a local admin on the machine. I would ...Show All

• SQL Server MSXML6 breaks viewer used with Microsoft Electronic Learning Library

  Installation of SQL 2005 Express resulted in the failure of the viewer used with the Microsoft Electronic Learning Library products. The viewer runs under IE and is driven by an XML file. This has been verified on several systems. I uninstalled only MSXML6 and the viewer worked normally. I have no idea if the problem is with the viewer script, the XML file driving it, or MSXML6 but obviously this might be a breaking change to the product. Can anyone shed light Tom Skinner [C# MVP] I found a workaround. If you disable the XML DOM Document 6.0 add-on in IE the viewer loads OK. Apparent ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL2005 AS Named instance - SQL Browser issue?

  Hi all ( Note: This question was first posted on microsoft.sqlserver.connect last week, but I was advised that the MSDN forums was the correct place for SQL 2005 postings.) I have a development machine with SQL 2000 and AS 2000 sp4 on as the default instance SERVERNAME. I have installed the September CTP of SQL 2005 as a named instance SERVERNAME\YUKON. All appeared to go well, SQL server is fine and I've built tables etc. However when I connect to the AS database using the BI tool I get the bizarre behaviour that I can build and process a cube, but not then connect to it to see the data!

• Visual C++ Multithreading

  Is it possible for a master thread to force abortion of pending IO in a slave thread, as with signals on Posix. Win32 only, no .net bullshit please. Thanks, - NK A similar way has been suggested by Ronald in this thread. Unfortunately I cannot guarantee (or rather enforce) that the client code is using asynch IO. Hence this is not the solution to the problem. With posix I can use signals to abort *any* system call, including the blocking ones. I was hoping that a similar solution could be found with Win32, alas, it appears there is none. Thanks, - NK PS. the library I describe has already been implemen ...Show All
