• Visual Studio Team System How to set test run order?

  Hi, I developed some test methods, put my tests in a test list by using  the Test Manager. I have to questions: 1- The first test in the list take a little bit logger to execute.  The first test method take 0.5 sec more to execute.     Is it normal and if yes... why 2- How can I manage the run order of my test method in my test list     They don't always run in a predictable order... Thanks Alain Martineau Publishing Business System There's actually a property you can use to change whether or not an ordered test stops when a test fails. In the ordered test edito ...Show All

• .NET Development Using transactions with TableAdapters

  I have several table adapters, each with an InsertCommand (among others). I call BeginTransaction before I start calling Update for each adapter. Update results in the InsertCommand being used but I get an exception because the command has no transaction. The commands are private members of the VisualStudio-generated adapter classes so I cannot access them to set their Transaction members. Is there a "proper" way to do this You will find the answer in the code sample at - http://windowsforms.net/samples/ThreeLevelUpdate.zip   Look at Form1.vb in this sample. You will find the following code. ' st ...Show All

• SQL Server Can not start Report Builder!

  I just setup my dev server of SQL 2005 including reporting service on Windows 2003 SP1. Basically all settings are default. When I activiate Report Builder from local, it works fine. Everything runs smoothly. However, we I try to run Report Builder from a remote client, which is XP SP2. It always shows me the following error: "Application download did not succeed. Check your network connection, or contact your system administrator or network service provider." I don't think it's about permission issues.

• Visual C++ Do I need to learn MFC if Windows Forms is in?

  I checked Windows Forms FAQ Pages, but failed to find out answers. Wikipedia.org site suggests that Windows Forms attempt to replace MFC( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Forms ); I noticed that more books out on Windows Forms and less books on MFC.   But "Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2005" includes both a chapter on MFC and Windows Forms. And Horton's recommended path to build Visual C++ programming career is:   Beginning VC++ Programming ---> Beginning MFC Programming--->Beginning MFC COM programming--->Professional MFC with VC++.

• SQL Server Problem using dates in XMLtoFLFF Transformation

  I am having a bit of trouble transforming a XML (xs:date) type to the DBDATE in my FLFF. I believe the problem is because the SSIS DF (Metadeta) converts xs:date to DT_DBTIMESTAMP which becomes 01/01/2005 00:00:00 -- appending the time. So when I try to transform in my fixed length flat file, it throws a truncation error when the length is set to 10. (which is the length of date) Is it possible to (A) use some other xs format that changes DF Metadata to only use date and not DT_DBTIMESTAMP, or (B) is there a field type in the destination FLFF Connection that will allow a length of 10 without throwing a truncation err ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Style Dialogue Box Not Displaying

  Has anyone experienced a problem with the Style dialogue box You get to it either by clicking the ... button under the Properties pane or Format > Style from the menu.

• Visual C++ problem uncovered

  I have a VC++ MFC application in VS 2005. In this application I use CPropertySheet's in several locations. The program works fine for a while, but at some point the CPropertySheet's stop working, in such a way that when I click on a CPropertyPage tab, the tab for that sheet disappears completely or the controls on that CPropertyPage are all invisible. I'm guessing that I'm running out of resources, handles, memory, etc. Can somebody advise me on what to look for in the way of resources or memory, so that I can circumvent this problem Are there any utilities that would be particularly helpful in this regard ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 2005 Express and SQL Server 2000

  I'm trying to add a connection to an existing SQL Server 2000 database, but I can't quite figure out how.  It seems the only options are for SQL 2005 and Access. Do I have to reconfigure VBE to be able to access SQL Server 2000   Or am I missing something incredibly obvious I'd read several posts, however I didn't search for "local data" (since I was more interested in searching for SQL 2000).  What was I thinking Thanks for clarifying. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Avoiding compiler complains about redefine variables???
