  Hey! I'm running TFS Beta3 Refresh,and using the latest version of the extensibility kit.

• SQL Server SSIS will not start after SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade

  Hi guys, I have experienced a problem with a SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade, where hotfix.exe reported an error during the SSIS component upgrade, and then the SSIS service would not start back up. I have since attempted an additional SP1 upgrade on the server, which completed successfully, however the SSIS service still will not start. The server is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1 with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (x86), which had been a clean RTM install prior to the SP1 upgrade attempt. The following information was located in the C:\Windows\Hotfix\DTS9\Logs\DTS9_Hotfix_KB913090_0.log file (the servers name has bee ...Show All

• Visual Basic The annoying auto update code to match gui object name changes feature.

  /ranton How do I stop VB updating code in the background, for example I have a button on a form, if I edit and rename that button it runs through my code and updates all the references with the new name - this is a really big pain in the proverbial, I know exactly what I want to achieve I know exactly why I am changing the name of a button which my code references I know exactly how to fix the issues that arise from me doing that but when VB goes off and 'fixes' it it gets in my way - I am doing the programming here not the damn application. What really annoys me is that if I paint a button on a form, double click the button which switche ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ interface assembly not visible in other .NET projects

  I created an interface assembly1 in VC++.net 2005 (debug configuration). By interface assembly I mean just 2 public interface classes within a namespace definition. The interfaces, methods and properties are marked public. Interfaces assembly1 references another interface assembly2 - with the same namespace wrapping its public interface definitons, methods and properties. Build them no problem. Now I add assembly1.dll as a reference in a VB.net 2005 class library project, and none of the interfaces (or their methods or properties) are visible. Using the Object Browser the dll is listed but cannot be expanded. If I try an Imports on the Na ...Show All

• Visual Studio F1 help behavior- VS2003 Vs VS2005

  Hi All, This is for the help system for our VSIP package. If there are multiple keywords pushed as LookupF1 keywords (say keyword1, keyword2, keyword3 added in that order, all added as LookupF1), the dynamic help window in both VS2003 and 2005 displays keyword3, keyword2, keyword1 in this order(ie, last pushed keyword as the first one). Pressing F1 in this scenario- in VS2003 opens up the page for the first keyword, keyword3 in this case (last pushed) and VS2005 opens up the last keyword, keyword1 in this case(first pushed). Is this the expected behavior . How to get the F1 help working the same way for both VS2003 and 2005. ...Show All

• Windows Forms using applicationsettings/propertybinding to save form size etc.

  I want to be able to save the following: The last position and size of the form when not maximized and the last windowstate. ie if the user closed the app maximized, next time I want it to open maximized, but if the user sets it back to a normal window, I want it to display using the save size and location (as Microsoft Word does). I have created three user settings with the appropriate type. If I bind these to the form properties, it seems to really screw up (it works ok until I add the windowstate, but I need this setting. Otherwise, if I maximize the form and then close and reload the app, the windowstate is set to normal, but the size is ...Show All
