• Visual Studio Team System How to assign more then one guy to single item?

  In Microsoft Project I can assign as many resorces to one single task as I want. But wen I try to publish this kind of task to TFS then I get an error that "Assigned To" property has invalid value. If I change it and assigne only one developer then everything is ok. As far as I know, you can only assign a work item to one individual at a time. You might want to break up a work item into multiple work items that would be a small enough unit of work for only one individual to work on. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do I have my app update itself if it can't write to the installation folder?

  I have an app I sell that presently is designed to update itself when a new version is available and the user opts to update. My approach is simple. I install two programs: MyApp.exe and MyAppUpdater.exe. When MyApp needs to be updated it starts up MyAppUpdater and shuts down. MyAppUpdater downloads a new version of MyApp saving it to the installation folder as MyApp.tmp. It then verifies that the entire app was successfully downloaded and if so deletes the old MyApp.exe and renames MyApp.tmp to MyApp.exe. Works fine and saves my users from having to download the entire installer, uninstall and reinstall. If I understand correctly it look ...Show All

• Visual C# ListView.View=List property and owner-drawing within ListView items.

  Requirement: Currently, I have a requirement to present grouped lists of information in an optimized amount of space with the least amount if any scrolling potential.

Horizontal and vertical scrolling must be avoided as much as possible. Problem Issue: I am aware that ListViews can select and entire row-item across all columns. However, to avoid vertical scrolling at some point, I must wrap to and create a new column of items. One possible ap ...Show All

• SQL Server Update SSIS package in SQL Server Management Studio to reflect recent changes

  What's the easiest way to update an SSIS package that you have already imported into Management Studio after you've changed and saved your package in VS afterwards   I don't see an update option in VS or MS or something to allow me to move any changes I've made to that package into Management Studio.  When I execute the package from MS, it doesn't reflect my latest updates in VS to that package. I figure there must be a way rather than have to reimport it back in manually to MS. If you have imported a package to a server, it creates another copy at the server. The changes you make on the local copy on your file system ...Show All
