• Visual Studio Team System BUG - Save query before Running it

  Steps to reproduce bug: 1.) Right click "My Queries" in Team Explorer and Click "Add Query" 2.) On the second line of the query tool, click dropdown for "field" and set to Work Item type. 3.) On the second line of the query tool, select dropdown for "value" and set to "Task". 4.) Click save button. (Don't Run query.) 5.) Take the defaults and click the save button on the "Save Query As" window. 6.) Right click on new query and select View Query. 7.) Notice that "value" field on second row is not populated. Thanks Jason. I will make sure it does not repro in a couple more latest builds. If it does, I will open a bug to track the issue. ...Show All

• SQL Server VS.NET 2005 and CLR stored procedure permission sets.

  VS.NET 2005 automatically deploys a CLR stored procedure when you start a project with debugging. However, if the CLR stored procedure attempts to access external resources you will get a message stating: System . Security . SecurityException : Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed . I've isolated this to being because the CLR stored procedure does not have the EXTERNAL_ACCESS permission set. Is there a security attribute that can be used to decorate the CLR stored procedure code so that VS.NET 200 ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with PInvoke with .NET2?

  Hi I have a program that i wrote with .Net 1.1 and it uses the cards.dll that comes with windows. It has always worked fine. I am porting the program over to .NET2 and now i am getting a stack imbalance problem with a call the the cards.dll. It only happens at runtime though.  I can drop a card onto my form at design time and it works fine (I can change the face, suit or back with no problems using the same call).  As soon as i change it at runtime i get a stack imbalance error. Is there a bug with Pinvoke or the MDA in .NET2 I fixed my problem.  It seems the .net 2 is less forgiving than .net ...Show All

• Windows Forms Progress Bar will not update (visual J#)

  The progress bar is located in the MDIParent class and I would like to manipulate it in MDIChild classes. The progress bar is active and is publicly defined, but will not update.
