• .NET Development Unhandled exception in secondary app domain

     I am using app domains to host add-ins (.NET 2.0). If add-in does something bad, or if there is an unhandled exception in the add-in etc., I want to gracefully unload app domain without application going down.

• Windows Search Technologies Feature request: "To" field and word-wrap for plain text

  I'm using WDS for quite a while now, but there are two things missing. When I search for e-mails I sometimes miss the column "To", there is only the column "From". There is to my knowledge no way to add the column manually. The other thing is that e-mails in plain text (ASCII) are not shown "word wrapped". Long lines of text run off the righthandside of the screen. You'll have to scroll to read the text. Ju ...Show All

• Visual Studio Invoking MSBUILD from Inside an App

  So I have created some custom MSBUILD tasks (to deploy SQLCLR assemblies). They work fine when I execute them from command line: msbuild /t:taskname project_file. However when I try and execute from inside an application by using the Engine.BuildProjectFile, I can't get it to work. That's not the main problem as at the moment I am explicitly sending in params which should make it fail. The weird part is that I can not get any output back. I have ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Support for Win2000 AD except NT4 mixed-mode

  VSTS is supposed to support Windows 2000 ADs by the time it RTMs.  I had heard from someone though that VSTS will not support Win2K ADs in NT4 mixed-mode.  I'm not a sysadmin and I'm not sure about the terminology.  However, I would like to confirm if this is true and if so, how would I go about finding out if our corporate AD is in NT4 mixed-mode Then again, if the MMC snap-in&nbs ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I clear active connections without disabling the database?

  To better explain the question let me build a scenario. If someone is connected to the database there is an active connection, which does appear in Management Studio.  If we try to do a restore of the database, SQL gives us a message saying that it cannot gain exclusive access to the database and the restore fails.  To gain exclusive access to the database we need to clear the active connections.  Currently in Management Studio ...Show All
