• Visual C++ linking problems (invalid or corrupt file)

  Hello experts! I was testing compilation programs with dlls. So I have created simple dll with header: int sum(int size) { return size*2; } And I have compiled it. I have also created simple console application using this library. In project options I have added headers path and libs path, but I have linking errors: Linking...

• Visual Studio Team System TF30144 error when creating a project from another domain

  Hi I am struggling with a setup which consists of TFS single deployed on domain X and Team Foundation Client (and Visual Studio) on domain Y. X and Y does not know about each other since they are on diffrent nets and the DNS servers are not connected. My first problem, which I solved, was that TFS setup (or possibly SharePoint Services or SQL Server) uses computer names in configuration files. Thus, Team Explorer did not work correctly (red crosses on the documents and reports folders etc..) since computer names couldn't be looked up from domain Y. This was solved by adding the IP computer name mapping in the Windows 'hosts' file. &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving TFS to a new server - use Beta3 refresh or RC?

  Hi all, I want to move our existing Team server to a new machine and a new domain but I have two hugh questions: (We're using Beta3 Refresh) 1. Would it be easier for me to upgrade my existing server from Beta3 refresh to RC than do the move, or just do the move using Beta3 refresh then upgrade the new server to RC 2. There was a post a while ago that contained details about backup and restore ( http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/articles/500334.aspx ), in this document it covers How to restore TFS data to a different server. Is this the best article that explains how I should do the move, and using this technique would my data survive a ...Show All

• Windows Forms What's the difference between bin and obj?

  always wondered that, they seem to be the same I find the files in the bin and obj quite different, the program in the obj doesn't run while the program in the bin does run. My impression therefore is that the obj is the compilers working area, while it finalises the compilation in the bin. (I could find nothing about this  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Continue prompt when running analyze over a network

  We currently house our VSS database files on a SAN and as such when we try run analyze we get a popup stating "For reliability and performance reasons using the analyze, archive and restore utilities over network is not recommended. Do you wish to continue " This was not in the beta 2 version but has shown up in the release. This would not cause an issue if we were manually running analyze, but we are attempting to schedule analyze for off hours and the popup is preventing us from automating.   Is there a way to disable this notification from the command line execution of analyze Or are there any suggestions on best ...Show All

• SQL Server SSRS 2005 Export to PDF Missing Data

  I have a report that has a page header that needs to have the customers name. The report works fine by referring to reportitems!Customer_nm.value where customer_nm is a hidden textbox in the body of the report. Unfortunately, when I select the Export to PDF, this value is blank. It works fine if I export to Excel or just use the native functionality. It appears only to be missing in a PDF. Any ideas Hi Lynn, We are also facing the same problem :( What we have done is inluded the textbox as part of the body and not the header. Anyone any ideas on this Thanks Manish ...Show All

• SQL Server Why you can't set up in 'disabled status' a task in Data Flow layer???

  In Control Flow you can do that. Data Flow objects behave quite differently from Control Flow objects - disabling a transform may invalidate much that happens downstream. This is especially the case for asynchronous components. I can see cases where disabling synchronous components could be useful, and indeed I have some ideas around how that might be done in the future. I would be interested to hear more about your scenarios and reasons for asking about this. Or perhaps you were just asking (no harm in that of course) Donald ...Show All

• SQL Server Paging of Large Results Using Server Cursors

  I'm writing an ASP.NET application that uses a SQL Server 2000 database. The application searches in large tables with 500, 000+ Records and then displays the search results, the search results could be easily 20,000 or 30,000 results. Ofcourse i need to use paging to show like 10 or 20 results per page. Unfortunetly ADO.NET doesn't support the paging functions that were found in ADO (like PageSize or AbsolutePosition) so i have to implement the paging myself. I've read many articles that talk about how paging could be implemented. Most of them suggest doing the paging through SQL Server using Server Cursors. I know that cursors are resou ...Show All
