• Windows Forms Public Shared Members vs. Global Variables

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 perfomance issue

  Well, i just converted my 10 project solution to VS .Net 2005, and i'm finding out the converted app is running very slow. There has been no real change(except i substituted ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings to ConfigurationManager.AppSettings to see if that was the performance issue) and no luck. My application connects to Microsoft SQL Server(not 2005). What may be the cause to this problem My computer is a 2.39GHZ Celeron pc with 752 mbs RAM. There was no problem whatsoever with 2003 though. Thanks. Hi. Just wondering - make sure you don't have any unneccesary background apps running or applications open ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to get alerts?

  During the installation of TFS, I entered the smtpserver and mail account for TFS alerts. However, when subscribing to alerts, e.g. 'My work items change' and entering my own mail address, I don't get alerted. The smtpserver is up and running, mailboxes for all team members are created and when testing with Outlook, everything works. How do I get TFS to send e-mails And, is there a way to check that TFS is trying to send something So if we have a SMTP server that requires authentication in the form of a username or password, e.g. not Windows Integrated, then how can we use SMTP based alerts ...Show All

• Smart Device Development HELP! Basic Signature Capture on a PDA for a newbie

  Hi, I've been thrust back into the world of development head first and I'm trying to get my head around vb.net 2005 as the last bit of dev I did was in VB6 nearly 3 years ago. I've been asked to put together an app that will allow a user to enter data on a PDA which will then store the information on an SQL database, but, of course, they require a signature field at the end. I've searched MSDN and the web for code and examples but most seem out of date (eVB) or over complicated or costly! The best article I've found was the one posted by Ralph Arvesen on MSDN which came with a working example, however it doesn't just capture the signat ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro editbox programmatic change

  I am looking for an easy way to determine if I've made interactive change in an editor box. The issue is that there are about 16 controls on a container, they are initialized from a table record thus their values at activate time generally are not trivial default. I have to save the changes with a SAVE button if I made any but I want this button's click method to quickly determine which control values have been changed. I do not want to do REPLACE for the fields with values that haven't been changed. In case of simple controls like a combobox I can store the initial value in Tag property and do the comparison programmatically. Sometimes t ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Package failing in SQL Agent only

  Hi, I have an SSIS package that contains a single data-flow task: Exporting from a SQL Server table to a tab-delimited text file. When I run the package in BIDS or within SQL Server it runs fine, but if I try to run it from within a SQL Agent Job it fails. The step contains the following Command Line configuration:  /DTS "\File System\GfKLoad1" /SERVER "SCSRV-DR2" /MAXCONCURRENT " -1 " /CHECKPOINTING OFF When I run dtexec from a command prompt with that argument it works. Maybe because the package writes to a text file there are permission issues Any help is appreciated. Which account ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Slow TFS Reports

  I've installed the July TFS CTP on a dedicated server with a 2.8 GHz processor and 512 MB of memory.  In addition, I've installed the June SQL Server 2005 CTP and the TFS data tier on another server with identical hardware.  I created a test team project and entered several dozen work items.  While attempting to evaluate the pre-defined reports, I found that they take an unexpectedly long time to process, some taking 20 to 30 seconds.  The most troubling were the Project Velocity, Reactivations, Remaining Work, Unplanned Work and Work Items reports.  With far fewer than 100 work items, I'm concerned that th ...Show All
