• Visual Studio Team System Unable to access Team Foundation Server after Domain Migration

  Hi, Initially, we were able to connect to the Team Foundation Server and access Work Items as well as the Source Code, as 'Contributors', but after we were migrated to a diffferent trusted Domain, we have got the following error, whenever trying to access the Foundation Server: "TF26000: Could not connect to the Team Foundation Server. Check that you have a network connection and that your Team Foundation server is available." Now, we can only access Work Items or the Source Code as 'Administrators'. Can anyone provide a solution Thanks in advance. Ravindra N. It looks like ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to insert a row between two rows in a Datagridview

  Hi there!. Im trying to insert a row between two rows in an attemp to get some expanded datasheet style. The datagrid view is data bound and a message is displayed "data bound grids doesnt allow rows.add command"  Is there any way to do this Oh Oh.

• Visual C++ How to read the last line of a file in Managed C++

  Hi, well this is a very stupid question but I can't find the efficient way. I need to read the last line of a very very large file.

• Visual Studio Single Sign-On / OS Authentication

  Hello all, I have both VS2005 and Crystal Reports Developer XI Release 2 installed (so I have the v11.5 CrystalDecisions dll files in my GAC) and I am trying to create a web page that impersonates the currently logged-in user and runs a Crystal Report against an Oracle DB. (btw, does the new single sign-on feature in CR XI only work against an MS SQL Server DB I have only seen examples referring to SQL Server.) Anyway, I have already verified that I can run queries against my Oracle DB as the currently authenticated user (using the WindowsImpersonationContext class). I then created a simple report and selected "OS Authentication ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Tutorial – Problem with Error Redirection (Lesson 5)

  Platform: Win Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SSIS Version: 9.00.1187.00   I’ve been working my way through the SSIS tutorials and have noticed a problem when trying to redirect Error Output in lesson 5 “Adding Error Flow Redirection”.   Having configured the redirection to the ErrorOutput.txt file and running the package, when I went to view the contents of the file, it was empty.   I then removed all but the Currency_BAD.txt data file and re-ran the package. This time the file contained the error row.   Next I returned the other data files, but introduced an error row in the Currency_VEB.txt data ...Show All

• .NET Development How to run a standalone application independly from any DLL files

  I developed an application under Visual Studio C#. However, the EXE file was unable to run in a PC without .Net environment, which is short of those relevant .DLL files. Can I build up a C# application running independently from DLL files Hi, Since Windows 2003 was released. It was bundled with the .net framework (1.1). So I guess microsoft is now bundling its framework into the OS. So this wouldn't be a big issue on deploying .net apps...     cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Install Team Foundation Server

  When I attempt to install Team Foundation Server (I've tried both single-server and dual-server install) I get to a dialog which has only one option on it - Uninstall. Huh I've never had TFS installed on this machine to begin with! I even humored it by running the uninstall, but this didn't help at all. On the next installation attempt I still come to the same impasse. The installer only offers the option to uninstall. Any idea what might be wrong Thanks for any advice which you can offer!
