• Visual Studio Team System PublishRun: Server was unable to process request

  Hi everyone, I get the following errors when the Test Run completes... it seems that permissions may be incorrectly set for this account (against the build server), but everything in the drop phase works fine for other build output, which I find somewhat confusing. Has anyone seen this before MSBUILD : warning : Test Run Failed.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Install disappears

  While running the TFS install (dual-server deployment) installing the TFS services, I get to the form that asks me for the destination folder and Database Server. I enter the information, click Next, and the install just "goes away", although i'm expecting the System Health Check page according to the documentation. I am fairly certain i have everything configured correctly on both the database server and local tfs box. No error message is given, nothing.

• Visual Studio Conditionally setting the AssemblyVersion at build time

  I have a need to build a project and only increment the version number if and only if the project has changed, is there ANY way to do this other than build the project twice Can this possibly be done with a custom MSBuild task So far I have seen that you can update the AssemblyInfo.cs from the MSBuild process but doing so before the build makes it so that it will produce a new assembly, which I don't want to do unless something else changes which causes the build to produce a new assembly, then and only then do I want to apply a new version number. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jim Hi Jim, & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Any problems upgrading VSS database

  I have just installed VS2005 and I'm now all set to upgrade my SourceSafe 6 database to 2005. Has anyone had any issues with the process or are you aware of any factors I might want to take into consideration before taking the plunge I'm guessing (because I can't find any docs or FAQ on the subject) that as part of the upgrade process a new SQL Server database will be created and all of my source code from my VSS6 database will be added to it If anyone has already been through this process and can shed any light on the situation I would be most grateful for yours thoughts or experiences. Obviously our existing database is backed up, b ...Show All

• SQL Server raw file destination and environment variables

  when using a raw file destination it would be nice to be able to use an environment variable for the filename property. like %my_extract%\data.txt instead of c:\my_extract\data.txt You could use the script task to define a SSIS variable, storing the file name, built using the environment variable. Then you can use this variable in Raw adapters by using the File Name from Variable access mode. HTH. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to find my spot in a TreeNodeCollection?

  I have a TreeView bound to a TreeNodeCollection. I am using multipass on the data so the initial load is shorter. I go retrieve the new data when I click on the node in the TreeView. The problem is that I cannot seem to figure out how to find the right node in the TreeNodeCollection to add the new data to. Any idea thanks, lee You can iterate through the TreeNode.Nodes collection. Each Node is of type TreeNode. Each TreeNode has a tag. When you load the nodes, put an identifier in the tag to help you know what the node is next time you are on it. ...Show All
