• Visual Studio Team System Creating a new project fails

  Hi, Have installed TFS single server on 2003SP1 with WSS-SP2 and SQL2005 successfully (domain).  Followed the instructions to create users with appropriate permissions. I can connect to TFS from VS2005 on the client machine and change security, etc.  When creating a new project, however, I get the following error: Error TF30170: The plugin Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.WorkItemTracking failed during task WITs from group WorkItemTracking.

  Hi everyone, I had an old VisualStudio.Net version thet started going nuts, so I thought its time to install the beta 2 version. then started the problems .... when trying to uninstalling the SQL server, the computer shouted it's impossible. so I uninstalled the SQL tools first and then the uninstalation succeded.

• Visual Studio Team System Project 2003 Integration Problem

  Now that Team Foundation is using Active Directory "friendly" names we have a small problem. Our domain is configured to return friendly names in the format: LastName, FirstName. When you import information from TF into the "Resource Name" field in Project it interprets the coma-space as multiple resources. Therefore if you try and push any changes back from Project to TF you get all these violations about invalid values. Is there anything we can do about this We've already consulted with our AD admin and he does not want to change the format from LastName, FirstName so we're kinda stuck here. TIA, Drew P.S. I'm sorry if ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Object Reference Problem, Why doesn't this work?

  Hello All, I am really stuck here and I could use some help in figuring out why this code does not work in .Net. I am converting/rewriting a VB6 app. The VB6 code does what it is supposed to do. The .Net code is syntatically correct as far as I can see but does not function as expected. What is supposed to be happening is that clsApp.Mainform is supposed to be getting set to frmMain which is the central form of the application, thus allowing me to manipulate frmMain from within my application by accessing clsApp.Mainform. What happens instead is that clsApp.Mainform is set to a generic form object and does not have any reference to frmMai ...Show All

• SQL Server Server unresponsive after ALTER TABLE

  Our SQL Server 2005 becomes completely unresponsive while processing ALTER TABLE commands on large tables. Management Studio and all clients are unable to connect to the server. Obviously, this is making it difficult to make schema changes on a production server. Is this a configuration issue, or a fact of life Seems like quite a weakness for an enterprise database server. WHere did you make the changes (gui), what did you change For SQL2k, in some condition perhaps changing a column to an identity value resulted in creating a new table, inserting *all* rows in the new one, then renaming the new crea ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to determine localized name of scope for key binding?

  When setting e.g. the keyboard shortcut "Ctrl-D" for a command in the scope of the text editor, I have to specify "Text Editor::Ctrl-D" as the string for the binding -- when using a US version of Visual Studio 2005. In the German version, I have to use a different name for the scope ("Text-Editor" instead of "Text Editor"). How can I determine the correct name from inside an add-in for a specific localized version of Visual Studio 2005 Or, if this is not possible, where can I find a complete list of the scopes for all localized versions of Visual Studio Just in case somebody stumbles across t ...Show All
