• Visual Studio VSIP for 6.0

  Is VSIP for 6.0 is available Is it free as for .NET Hi Yorik, I'm not really familiar with Visual Assist, though I have hear good things about it in the past. I don't recall if they were in the DevPartner program back then or not. At the time, I wasn't directly involved in supporting the program. From the looks of it, they did do a nice job of it though.

Just fire up a couple instances of the environment (one with VA and one without) and check the addresses of various WndProcs using SPY++. That might allow ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Practical questions

  Hello all, For as far as I can see, LINQ offers key features that belong to the data access layer. (Not like the current features from System.Data in .NET 2.0.)

So is the true advantage that we don't have to write SQL code anymore If so, would the LINQ code be placed on the database server (stored procedures) or on the application side Would data access layers still exist And in what form Where would they reside On a (for example) SQL Server, or on the application side I could not find any 'best practices' yet on this subject. Hope you understand my issues ...Show All

  How Do I create a package in SQL Server2005 I have the eval copy. I saw an icon for DTS in Management Studio but when right click there is no option for New. SSIS is the way to go in SQL 2005.

• Visual Studio Team System Why does MSMDSRV.EXE still take up to 20% CPU?

       Even after changing the RunInternal to 2 hours as described here http://blogs.msdn.com/buckh/archive/2005/04/19/409886.aspx  and restarting TFSScheduler, MSMDSRV.EXE still takes up to 20% CPU and 160MB RAM.      Is this normal behavior How can I see what it's doing   Thanks, Rossen 160MB is normal. 20% CPU is not if this is what is happening on average. This might be due to trashing if you are using a data tier with very little RAM. You can check that the warehouse interval has been successfully updated by changing the log setting to verbose and look ...Show All
