• Visual Studio Team System Changesets, Merges, and atomic cherries.

  I've been having a look at the capabilities of changesets and merges, in particular I was interested in the following: * Cherry-pick merges -- you can merge specific file change to another branch without merging the changes that were included in previous versions of those files. Thus, if you've got 2 bug fixes which touch the same file, you can merge the second one without merging the first. So, I conducted the following simple experiment, involving a single file, and merge from a parent branch $/Test/Main to a child $/Test/Main-branch . I added a file A.txt into $/Test/Main, with a single line of text, Original Code. History ...Show All

• SQL Server ADP or VS

  I am developing a solution using Access and now i come to know that SQL Express is free for unlimited connection so i want to switch to SQL as backend for scalability and VPN support. But i want to make sure i make the right choice on the frontend too. Could anyone help give some insight on the pros and cons of using ADP or Visual Studio Express as frontend   Many thanks.   As Buck Woody says, but remember as long as you get a solid back end, it would be really easy to add a web front end also. I find a nice mix of Access / VS / Web apps perform nicely together for various ne ...Show All

• Visual C# The IDE often automatically changes the file subtype from "Form" to "Code" in the .csproj file

  The IDE often automatically changes the file subtype from "Form" to "Code" in the .csproj file, which renders the forms unviewable in design view until that change is undone.  Is there any way to prevent the IDE from doing this automatically Thanks, Wilfred This sounds like a bug. If you can reproduce it consistantly, post a bug report on the Microsoft Product Feedback Center . ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using Microsoft.mshtml in .NET 2.0 to access DOM

  I've deployed my converted 1.1 app onto a machine with only the 2.0 version of the framework, but it seems to ignore all the calls that go into the Microsoft.mshtml assembly that I brought over from 1.1. In a WebBrowser control, I cast an HtmlElement.DomElement to an mshtml.HTMLLIElementClass so I can change its className property. The element's appearance changes on machines with both 1.1 and 2.0 versions of the framework but not on machines with only 2.0.

• Visual Studio Team System Baseless merge ?

  I've been told a couple of times to workaround problems with branching via a Baseless Merge.  Now I'm pretty sure I can guess what this does based on the name, but I can't find any way to accomplish this through the VS2005 UI. I've read all the docs I can find and I've searched google and all I've come up with is the command line option to do "h.exe merge /baseless" from MSDN and the reference from Buck's blog. The description in the docs being : /baseless - "Performs a merge in the absence of a basis version" Am I missing something in the UI or is it just not in there yet Excellent.
