• SQL Server Reporting Services funny

  I have a really wierd one here. I have generated several reports that work wonderfully for me but will not work for others under certain conditions.  The difference appears to be the fact that I am an author, publisher, etc; and others are just browsers.  Now this wouldn't be too bad to resolve BUT, everything works fine as long as I have run at least one report before anyone else runs it.  If I do not run a report then anyone in ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF vs WSE 3.0

  I enjoyed reading Aaron Skonnard article, especially the part where he answers the question: What features does WCF provide for developers that ASMX 2.0 and WSE 3.0 don't But... I didn't understand - Since WSE 3.0 runs on .NET 2.0, in what scenario (if any) should one use WSE 3.0 over WCF Is there any feature inside WSE 3.0 that is not inside WCF (emphasize on security) Thanks. If you stick with the ASMX 2.0 programmin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS crash after creation of ~150 Work Items

  Hi Mohammad, Thanks for your reply. At first I came to the exactly same conclusion. But after some checks it stop making sense. We are using single thread to process work items synchronously. Utility run on single client machine. Network is fast and server is up and running (until it crashes). We tested it 3 times, TS crashed consistently each time after about 150 items. Any ideas Thanks, Leon Hi Leon, Could you please send me your code ...Show All
