• Visual Studio Team System Unable to rename a file back

  I changed the name of a class under TF and checked in the change. I now want to change the class name back, but team foundation tells me a file already exists with that name. I'm unable to find a way to locate the original file under source control and permenantly delete it so I can change the class back. I assume this is a bug. Anybody else come across it, or have a work around Which version of Team Foundation are you using Did you rename from within Visual Studio or from the command line A few things to try: - run "tf dir" (or "h dir" for older versions) to see what files the server is currently ...Show All

Can you tell me a easy way to do that, thanks Add some comments here: SqlTrackingService and SqlWorkflowPersistenceService are SQL-based. They do not support Oracle.

• Visual C++ Compiling C Project with /clr in VS2005

  Hello, I have been using VS2003 to comple C projects with /clr and generate CIL binary, which I use to generate code for an embedded processor. In VS2005, compiling C projects to CIL is no longer supported. It seems the only possible way is setting the compiler options to compile everything as C++. Now, my problem is whenever I compile even the simplest C files (e.g. int main(){retrun 1;} ) in this way, after all optimizaitons, the output CIL contains a huge amount of seemingly unnecessary code. There are many new funcitons, variables, namespaces, etc. in the output CIL. I have tried every possible option or optimizations. Specifically ...Show All
