• Visual Studio Team System TFS Beta 3 Install Error 32000 w/ Report Server

• .NET Development Dataset & nullable types

  We still have the IsFieldNull() in datasets. Anyone know a better way of gettting a dbnull type dataset field into a nullable type other than this mess int _productId = row.IsProductIDNull() (int )null : (int )row.ProductID; DataSet v2.0 doesn't support Nullable<T> as the Nullable<T> came into the frameworks very late in the v2.0 cycle. You have to do the "if null" check using v2.0 as it would still return DBNull.Value for null values. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Collection was modified after the enumerator was instantiated

  I have a report that takes in 4 dates, and everything is working great in the report manager.  Viewing this report in a ReportViewer control, however, is a bit different.  I understand that the date picker is not supported, and that's not a problem for me at all.  However, when I run the report, I get an exception of " Collection was modified after the enumerator was instantiated " Any help would be appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System Database Operations

  I was wondering why there aren't any default rules available in FxCop for Database operations! Is it because these may not be possible to implement I have to develop quite a few rules under DB operations and I am not able to make any headway through them. In each one, I need to parse the instruction in the ilcode to check whether a stored procedure has been used as commandtype.StoredProcedure instead of commandType.text., or whether DataAccess blocks have been used for DB operations. These are the simplest ones to name. Is it possible to implement these Will these require dataflow if you want to ensure nobody makes an assignme ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Setup - Cannot find Default Web Site

  Scenario: I've got one server available to install TFS. This server is also a web server with existing web sites for 3 different internet domains. The "Default Web Site" has been previously removed as it was not required. One internet domain is set up to catch all general HTTP requests (blank Host Header Value). What I've done so far: Installed all the TFS prerequisites for single server (including SharePoint Services in Web Farm mode). Added a Host Header Value to the existing default domain so that it won't be overwritten by TFS. Created a new empty folder called "C:\Inetpub\Default Web Site&quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Upgrade from Beta2 to c#express released version

  Here are a set of resources to use before installing the RTM versions of VS or the .NET Framework.  The main key is to uninstall SQL Express, VS, and MSDN *before* uninstall the .NET Framework.  If you don't, you will end up with some orphaned files in the GAC which will lead to package load failures. Aaron's blog has some suggestions on how to clean that up.

• Windows Forms Problem deploying MSDOS executable

  Hi, Here's an odd one ! My app. uses a legacy MSDOS com executable which I deploy along with other support files.   My app works fine after deployment, however when I try to access the com executable -either from the app. or directly -  I get a Win32 exception  "The parameter is incorrect". If I copy the com executable to another folder it works fine. It looks very much as if it's an access rights problem but I can access other files (eg text files) in the deployment folder directly without problem. Thanks for any help Jon Hi Sreekanth,   Thanks for responding. As I sa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can the configuration information in build type be customized

  Hi all, During create a build type, there are fields about configuration and platform information. Can these information be customized For example, I want to add/delete/change the values in the configuration and platform list. Thanks, Leon As I remember (I don't have TFS here right now to test it) you can select a value on the list, but also "write" it, if you are asking about that. And for a Build type already created, you have to modify the .proj file of the build type, you can find it in the source explorer, under the project which owns the build type, you have a folder Team Builds (or similar) and a folder f ...Show All
