• Visual Studio Team System Running regular websites on same server as TFS

  We installed the TFS on our new AppServer. We also want to put our intranet sites on the same server. I know there were a few issues with this, but for some reason I cannot find any documents explaining how to set up regular ASP.NET websites to run on the same server. What we currently do is set up a website on our internal server, then use our DNS server to point say: MyIntranet to 192.158.1.123. We don't use local "hosts" files. Any advice Create your own application pool seperate from all the TFS ones and make sure your applications run in that pool and you should be ok. You might want seperate app pools for your .NE ...Show All

• .NET Development windows service process flow

  I have created a windows service in c# and it works fine but i have a question in my mind: In my service constructor i call a method to initialiaze all variables which are defined from app.config. and in OnTimer method, service does what it should. So at each interval it starts its job. I was thinking about process flow of my service application and i thought it should work like this : when i start Service i am actually making one instance of the service and variables will be initialized. Then at each interval, service uses those initialized variables. When service is stopped and started again, another instance of service will be made and al ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is it possible to control the width of the dropdownlist in the parameter toolbar?

  I have a SQL Server Reporting Service report(server mode) that has only one string parameter (retrieved from a database) , thus the report parameter toolbar displays a dropdownlist. Is there a way to control the width of that dropdownlist in SSRS2000 What about SSRS 2005 For example: make the dropdownlist fixed width Currently it is automatically sized to the longest string in the list so it is adding a horizontal scroll bar and my users dislike having to scroll to the right. Many thanks in advance. I am using a multivalue parameter input control. My label value for the drop down list is frequently w ...Show All
