• Visual Studio Team System Two-way sync: how to import in a Database Project a table, AFTER Import Schema?

  Hello everybody, consider this scenario: I import a schema in a Database Project, then I create a table IN SQL SERVER, and I want to sync it with project. The only way I've architected till now is to create the table, script it, delete table in SQL Server, and copy the script in Database Project (deleting "if exists drop", because this syntax is unsupported in Team Edition for Database Professionals). More practical ways With our current CTP, we only support one-time schema importation. However, we are looking to support incremental schema import by our RTM release. This means if an extra table ex ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't uninstall or reinstall nonfunctioning sql server

  In previous post in the Getting Started section, I discussed problems trying to run queries on multiple databases: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=299240#299240&SiteID=1 Nobody could help with the problem. I eventually got a query to run after several attempts at deleting and recreating databases. Then, I was hit with the following error message: Class does not support aggregation (or class object is remote) (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040110 (CLASS_E_NOGGREGATION)) (Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlTools.VSIntegration) Nobody could help with that either but based on posts with the same message, I tried uninstall ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VSExpress & .Net Framework 2

  I installed both VB and VC# Express a while back, along with the required .NetFramework2 Beta. Both products worked fine after the install, but recently I installed another product which required the .NetFramework v2 but refused to work with the Beta copy I had installed with the Express packages. I checked on the MS Downloads page and found that apparently the .NetFramework v2 has been released, so I uninstalled the Beta and installed the released version. My new product now worked, but when attempting to run either VB or VC# Express, I now get an error (unfortuantly I'm at work and can't duplicate the error on my work machine, sinc ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista what should I missing to use VS 2005 extension

  In builds 5219 and 5231 aero glass worked fine in my ati radeon 9250, now in build 5259 doesn’t seems to work anymore, even with the "enablemachinecheck" tweak. What’s wrong   A quick guess would be you are using a different driver now, proably an in box one that isn't LDDM since the 5259 build isn't a public and would probably not have a supplemental driver pack. you shouldn't be using this build unless you are a TAP member and if you were one of those, you shouldn't be post your issues here. I would recommend going back to the 5231 build until next week when according to many news sources we a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can the Project Portal web site upload documentation?

  Hello, Before I make the effort of installing TFS, I was just have a question about the project portal system. Is it possible to set up folders for documentation, and give access to this folder to external people (eg development partners or even clients), through the project portal web-site Also, I'd like to allow these external people to create their own documents, or edit existing ones depending on access rights allowed (certain users can read certain documents, others can write too). Is all this possible through the portal web site or do you need to have VS to edit/create new files (in which case the Project Portal just becomes a r ...Show All

  Hi~~~ I have develped some Office2000 and Office Xp Add-ins with the interface IDTExtensibility2. But it isn't compatible with Office 2003. Then i searched the MSDN, and i found VSTO can solve the problem. But my develop environment is Visual Studio 2003,and VSTO works in Visual Studio 2005. Could i develop Office 2003 Add-ins with Visual Studio 2003(using VC++ ) Do you have any samples or information Thanks a lot!! VSTO is also available for Visual Studio 2003.

  How can I determine at runtime which version of SQLCE is loaded on my Pocket PC. Do you mean 2.0 vs. 3.0 If so, you don't have to as it would be the one your application is compiled against.

• .NET Development Question about using Transactions in ADO.NET

  In one of our Data Access Layers, it was suggested that we use transactions around all commands that are stored procedure types. Most of our stored procedures are simple (SELECT * FROM <sometable> ) My question is: Do we really need a "begin transaction" ... "end transaction" for a simple select What is the default isolation level if no transactions are specified Thanks in advance.
