• Visual Studio Team System Create Team Project from existing Project

  Hi, I wanted to know that is it possible to Create Team Project from existing Project. The idea is my organisation will have say 10 different projects and I want to maintain same standards , roles and project permissions in all the projects. Only thing that will change is the project name. How to acheive this Thanks in advance, Sanjoyan Microsoft MGSI India I don't think the ability to create a Team Project from an existing project currently exists. You should probably just try to get a process template as customized as you can and that should minimize steps after Team Project creation (code analysis polices, e ...Show All

• SQL Server Is this possible?

  hey guys, I have a column called Error Count, which display the the error count values (Fields!error_count.value) from the dataset. And assume the report has some parameters.I want to change the values of this column by comparing the parameters value that the user specified with the values in the database. For instance, If sessions.timestamp == parameters!date.value then do something , where timestamp is a field in the sessions table and parameters!date.value is the the parameter value. Please let me know if anybody came across this kind of situation and how you solve it. Any idea is appreciated Sincerely Amde ...Show All

• SQL Server My SSIS Presentation.

  I was demonstrating some of SSIS's capabilities to our Software Development Manager and VP of IS. (We are deciding which ETL tool to use for our DW project. So goes this project goes the house).They liked what they saw and were crazy over Fuzzy lookup but commented that SSIS seems very much oriented toward the programmer side of the house. It was, maybe, not the best tool for the Business analysts who are working closely with us on this project. Any comments on their comment I wonder if SSIS "data source views" (which I haven't looked at at all) address their concerns Barkingdog SSIS ...Show All

• Visual C# proxy problem

  Hi all, VS 2003, windows application that uses Internet. I create an application to merge pdf files downloaded from Internet (which give me one file for one page). I'm behind a proxy server. The problem is: when i request a file, the web site creates a temporary file with the page (xxxx.pdf, where pdf are numbers). So these files are also on proxy server and sometimes i have some error because (i think) the page is got from proxy server. How can avoid this problem Turning off the cache of proxy Or from code (c#) Thx manuel0081 wrote: I'm behind a proxy server. The problem is: when i request a file, the web site crea ...Show All

• Visual C++ Where is CWnd::CreateControl ?

  Hi, I am investigating if MSVC 8 provides a viable upgrade path for us. I have ported my MSVC 6 applications to MSVC 8 and have gotten all my libraries to compile. However, every application that uses an ActiveX control generates a linker error regarding CWnd::CreateControl. But my other MFC based applications link and apparently run correctly.

• Visual C# Options with custom build tools

  I'm using the new VisualStudio 2005 feature that allows you to add a resource file (resx) to your project and it uses a custom tool to autogenerate a corresponding C# class with accessors to get the resource strings.  However, the default seems to be to create the C# class with an access modifier of "internal".  I know that the ResGen tool supports the /publicClass options, but I don't see a way to tell VisualStudio to use this option when generating the source code for my resx file.  Can this be done   If so, how All: I've found & posted a much simpler workaround -- just call an ext ...Show All
