• .NET Development limitations with XslCompiledTransform and Xpath predicates

  I've found out (from an XslLoadException) that Xpath predicates can't be used in template match statements with XslCompliedTransform. I can use predicates in xsl:for-each statements without getting an exception but it still doesn't work correctly. Non .net implementations seem to have no problems with using Xpath predicates. I can't find any docs on XslCompiledTransform's support for Xpath predicates. Does anyone know what the limitations are Unfortunately XSLT 1.0 doesn't allow variables or params to be used in match patterns. Usually a problem can be solved by moving selection logic to xsl:apply-templates ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unable to add existing team project

  We have created and are working on a project in VS2005 TS.  An additional developer is to join the project as a contributor.  After installing VS on his machine, he was able to open it and connect to the TFS server.  However, he also works on another project in VS 2003 using Crystal Reports and had to uninstall the new Crystal Reports that came with 2005 due to a conflict.  After that, every time he tries to connect he gets the following message.

• SQL Server Drop Down Parameter List

  I have a string with values that are separated by a space. It looks like this: DAY MICS SUN FIX STD . I would like to take the string and make it a drop down list in a report parameter. I have tried the split function but it errors on me. How can I accomplish this Is the value dynamic If not, could have manually put into parameter list If it's dynamic, I think best way is to use a Query for the parameters and do the split in T-SQL split function http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnsqlmag01/html/TreatYourself.asp ...Show All

• Visual C++ Creating project templates for Visual C++ 2005

  Hi!, I would like to create project templates for Visual C++ 2005, but I haven't been able to find a way to do that. I found an article from MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/01/CodeTemplates/default.aspx ) that says that I can create project templates by selecting "File | Export template" menu item when the desired project is opened in Visual Studio. However, it doesn't seem to be true for Visual C++ projects as "File | Export template" isn't selectable. For Visual C# projects it seems to work. So, how I'm supposed to create project templates for Visual C++ 2005 Thanks, Mikko Nylen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Unspecified Error on Loading

  Hello, we detect today a very strange behaviour of VSS (6.0d). It is integrated in our Access (Access 2002)-Development and worked fine until this morning. After starting the MDB (and performing VSS-login) Access crashes. Rebuilding from SourceSafe-Source, Analyzing and Fixing VSS changed nothing, so I installed the VSS SP6 for resolving the problem, but no success. If I don't perform a VSS-login the error won't appear, but we need this tool. I'm wondering of this behaviour, because we changed nothing over night (the forms and modules which are not checked in, can't cause the error, because my colleague didn't get the latest versions due t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFSSERVICE needs to be a member of Enterprise Admins - problems accessing http://localhost

  I had problems accessing http://localhost on the Data/App tier of my Team Foundation Server after a clean install of VSTS Beta3 - Refresh on Windows Server 2003 with Active Directory enabled. I followed exactly the instructions in the Single-Server Deployment Checklist. The problem was resolved by making TFSSERVICE a member of Enterprise Admins and then rebooting the server. Clearly, there are some permission issues here. Is this a known bug Can TFSSERVICE be made a member of groups with less power than Enterprise Admins Will Please see the following http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/10/05/477565.aspx Thanks,   ...Show All
