• SQL Server How to 'group by' properly?

  Hi, I'm working on a report where a customerid is passed from the application. The result are data for that specific customer. The result is something like this: Customer: <name customer> Number of hours: <hours:minutes> Average time to deliver: <days> This works perfectly. But now I have also make it possible to pass value 0 as customerid , which means all customers has to in that report. The problem now is that the calculation of the 'number of hours' and 'avg time to deliver' are calculated over ALL customers, not for each customer . E.g. for each customer id this is the correct output: Customer: Acme I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage loses it's mind

  Please refer to http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=FDBK40689 .  I'm now seeing this on other code - non-generic code, so I doubt the original problem has anything to do with generics. Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior   Is there any solution available Having the coloring completely scrambled makes code coverage quite a lot less useful!  Update: Here's the new link on Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=122653 Hey Carl, I just went and took a look at the MSDN Feedback issue that you filed.

• SQL Server Data Source for Process Cube

  Is the source for the data used to process the cube actually embedded in the cube itself   I.e. I have source data which could move around.  How can I programatically modify the source connection string before processing the cube using SSIS You are brilliant.  I knew about the scripting feature however I wasn't thinking about the data source being surfaced in the Management Console for analysis services.  Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Brand new / totally confused / am I in the right place?

  I downloaded MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition. The MS site said that it was "easy to install, use and manage." However I'm totally confused. I'm not a total neophyte but I can't even seem to launch the program. I have an MS SQL database powering my website. I view the database on my home computer using MS Access 2000 with an ODBC connection. MS Access 2000 however, does not let me make changes to the structure of the database. I can't add, delete or modify fields in my current tables. I can't add or delete tables. Is MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition the proper software to perform these functions If it is, is there a guide to he ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Beta 3 - Can't create a project

• Windows Forms ListBox items should be gray when not in focus - why arent they?

  Hi I just wondered... I have a listbox on my windows forms, and different from all other windows controls (e.g. listView and treeView), the items in the listBox remain SystemColor.ActiveCaption as background color when the ListBox leaves focus. ListView, Treeview makes the selection grayed out - making it very easy to see that the control is out of focus. Is there any way to "force" the listBox to behave in the same manner I find it confusing when working with keyboard shortcuts that it "seems like" the listbox is active - but really isn't. I hope it's just me that have mi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can multiple team projects use the same source control tree?

  I've read through as much as the TFS docs as I could find, but I've yet to see an answer to this.  Can multiple Team Projects use a single source control tree or does each one have to have its own tree Here's my situation: We have a good size main tree that has 90+ projects (dll's) in it.  There are perhaps a few dozen teams that contribute to these and each team has anywhere between 2-5 projects.  All of the teams must check code into a single place so that a common build system can build all of it (they're all components of a single large app). What I'd like though is to have each team with their own Team Projects -- t ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS showing incorrect file information

  Recently the Beta version of VSS on my computer expired. I uninstalled the application and then reinstalled the application. Everything works fine from Visual Studio, however, VSS shows an old version of the database. IE, my coworkers have been checking in and out files, and I've been checking out files, yet the VSS database on my machine shows no changes beyond the day I reinstalled the app. My coworkers uninstalled and reinstalled VSS in the same manner as I, and they are having no problems. If I log onto another computer with my username and open VSS, the correct data is shown. Is there some cache I need to clear, or somethin ...Show All

• Architecture Who needs Architecture?

  http://msmvps.com/blogs/rohanthomas/archive/2006/01/26/81848.aspx Would love to hear your comments... Thanks Organisations who look at 'Computer Science' / 'Technology' as one of their core strategies to do business. So anyone who thinks this way needs an architecture. However, a few things I keep seeing about architectures ( I guess, you folks will have more to add to this list ) 1. A architecture is not a one day, one month, one year end product. It matures as the business matures. 2. Architectures are only visible in the minds of very few people in the firm. 3. Architectures need governance. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Suddenly get "sql server does not exist or access denied" after connected for ages.

  Hi all, I'm developing a PDA app using the compact framework. It connects to a SQL server 2000 database calling stored procedures to read data and update it etc.. It all works absolutely fine for 10 minutes or so - reading and writing lots of data. Then all at once I get the error "sql server does not exist or access denied". In my error handler I try to reconnect - but it seems once this error has happened it's not possible to reconnect. I don't know whether it makes a difference but the PDA is connecting to a database on my machine via a USB connection and the ActiveSync (the very latest version) program. Any ideas would be much appr ...Show All
