I enabled the logging in the SCC Provider and found that VS.NET-2005 is performing SccQueryInfo almost 80 times, asking for the status of 10 files at a time. VS.NET-2003 ask for all files in the project at one time. Is there a way to revert to the 2003 functionality or increase the number of files requested per ...Show All

  My warehouse app employs a distributed architecture. Extractions from disparate (wildly so) systems, and transformations and loads into a standardized schema are performed at various locations close to the source systems (both physically and "logically" speaking).

  Note: Please dont tell me that this is the wrong forum without telling me where is the right forum!! I am broadcasting at 4 bitrates constant streaming video. 128k, 64k, 32k, and 16k.
