• Windows Forms VS2005 RTM - grid/guide toggling broken

  I saw another post on the following VS 2005 bug -- but it was for the express edition... It appears grid/guide toggling in the WinForm designer is simply broken in VS2005. The only way to toggle the grid is to go to the Options dialog and change 'LayoutMode' to/from 'SnapToGrid'. Then exit / restart VS2005. The Toggle Grid / Toggle Guides buttons on the Dialog Editor toolbar never become enabled. Similarly, I've added menu items to the For ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem installing TFS on a machine with both SQL 2000 & 2005

  The only machine I've got available to install TFS is a machine that already has a SQL Server 2000 instance. I installed SQL Server 2005 CTP (as instance SQL2005Beta), but TFS doesn't want to install because it says that Analysis Services and Reporting Services are disabled or missing. The problem appears to be that the TFS single-server install is accessing the default instance - SQL Server 2000 (which doesn't have Reporting or Analysis Se ...Show All
