  If you have a package that uses an environment variable for an indirect configuration and the environment variable is not present when the package runs you get the following warning: The configuration environment variable was not found.  The environment variable was: "Seer.ConnectionManager.CUECommonReference".

  Hi guys, im quite new to c# and would like to know if this is possible, and if it is how its done. I have a datalist which is bound to a datatable.

• Visual C# Is this a bug or by design? Settings declared internal when autogenerated???

  In relation to this question I had concerning how to access settings that are declared in another project: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=116815#116815, I have some concerns with the way VS2005 beta 2 sets up the Settings file.

• Visual Studio Team System Beta 3 SCC Bug: Get latest does not work.

  If I delete a folder on the disk and then goes to SCC Explorer and do a "Get Latest" it tells me that "All files are up to date".... even though they are non-existing on my local disk. This makes it difficult for me to trust the SCC, because it is totally wrong on what are on my disk, and when I am rebuilding the system I have no guarantee that it is in fact a "latest build". However if I checkout and undo pending checkouts it fetches all the di ...Show All
