• Visual Studio Team System MSF "Risk Factor Charts"

  In the MSF document, "MSF Risk Management Process", the author describes "Risk Factor Charts" for different focus areas. I work in the focus area of "custom software development". Does Microsoft provide a comprehensive list of Risk Factor Charts for custom software development somewhere on the Web The author only provides a single Risk Factor Chart in the document that has the risk factors of "Project fit", "Customer perception" and "workflow". The Risk Factor Chart example that the author provides is very good IMO and I would like to get a hold of all of the Risk Factor C ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Editions

  Doesn't VSTO come with VS 2005 Professional I downloaded the VS2005 Pro DVD from MSDN and didn't find the installer for VSTO. Thanks. Mike, I have a MSDN subscription and have downloaded and used VSTO. Other employees in my company do not have a MSDN subscription and would also like to start using VSTO.

Do you know of any other ways to obtain VSTO if you already have Professional edition and do n ...Show All

  I have successfully run sampling profiling on a c++ project.  When I switch to instrumentation profiling I get a message box saying 'Value does not fall within the expected range.' and then the launch button greys out.  To get the launch button back I have to restart the Visual Studio application.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Does WF support transactions?

  I need to start several workflows in one transaction. Something like this: using (TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope()) { Runtime.CreateWorkflow(typeof(MyWorkflow1)).Start(); Runtime.CreateWorkflow(typeof(MyWorkflow2)).Start(); Runtime.CreateWorkflow(typeof(MyWorkflow3)).Start(); scope.Complete(); } Basically, If something goes wrong inside the scope, I dont want any of these workflows created/running/persisted.

• Visual Basic Visual basic with .NET framework off of a CD?

  OK, so the application I've developed in Visual Basic Studio 2005 Express Beta works perfectly and is compiled into an exe file, everything's wonderful... Problem: the organization that the program is for doesn't want to install the .NET framework on their computers. Is their any way to run it all from CD That is, all the .NET framework files needed will be on the CD, and the .exe file will use them, so nothing has to go on the hard drive. Thanks for the help :) Edgardo is correct. In order to run the application, you need to have the .NET Framework installed on the client machine. Steven ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Running self hosted services (WSDualHttpBinding) as windows services (Network Service)

  Problem: If you want to run a WCF service (with any kind of http binding, for example: WSDualHttpBinding) as a Windows service then there is security restriction, the windows service should run with administrative rights (for registering arbitrary namespaces), but what if you would like to run the service as "Network Service" There is solution by using Httpcfg.exe (http://www.leastprivilege.com/HttpCfgACLHelper.aspx) but now the question is, how to find the SID of the service S-1-5-20 does not work.

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 can not show history.

  I'm using VSS 2005 and VS2005, both version are 8.0.50727.42. I'm using VSS Explorer. The "Show History..." does not work. No any results when I choose a long period. I tried to empty "From" and "To" fiels, the result is same. Any idea Thanks in advance. I'm experiencing the same problem. I've recently upgraded to the RTM version of VSS 2005 (was previously using the Beta version, and 6.0d before that). I've observed that any databases that I created with the 6.0d client work properly. I can view the history of files, see their dates and labels, etc. Any databases I created with the 2005 Beta or now with 2005 RTM, History functional ...Show All

• Visual Studio Add projects to VSS

  Hi, I installed VS2005 Professional Edition and Team Foundation Client to my computer, and have problem with the VSS.

But if that was the case you should not be able ...Show All
