• Visual Studio Team System Work Items and MS Project Summary Tasks

  Hi, I noticed that the latest TFS made some changes to the Task workitem type added in a new field called "Task Context" which seems to be storing the MS project task hierarchy. This seems to be half working in that if I create a new MS Project file, import all work items in, modify the hierarchy (i.e indent tasks) and then publish the changes back to TFS, when I look in visual studio at one of the modified work items the "Task Context" field contains a string that looks something like "Task 1\Task 2". However, I then created a new team project, populated the "Task Context" field of the default work items that get created, ope ...Show All

• Visual Basic asp connection to godaddy mysql database

  I'm trying to connect via asp to a godaddy mysql database on their server. I've created the database and added a users table. I have an opensource intranet (UAPortal) that is really plug&play, it comes with an Access database attached, so you just load it on your server and go. But I want to use it with the faster, more capable mysql server that comes with godaddy hosting. I have the connection strings given by godaddy, but when I try to incorporate that info into the common.asp file, I get this: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (1006 ...Show All
