• SQL Server Dataset

  hey guys, I created a dataset using a design view of the MDX query designer. As you know, in the filter pane of the MDX query, there is check box if you want to parameterized your report. When I checked that option, SQL Server created a dataset specifically for the report parameter. So my question is that I can see this dataset in the data tab of the report designer but not in the Report Datasets list. Do you have any idea why this happened waiting to hear soon. Sincerely, Amde Report designer will mark MDX parameter datasets as "auto-generated" in the underlying RDL representation ...Show All

  After installing Team Explorer B3 I was presented with a dialog where you could configure Team Foundation Server addresses.  Since then, I've moved my Team Foundation Server to a different address, and I cannot figure out how to reconfigure the server locations in Team Explorer.  Every time I try to create a new team project I get a "cannot find server" error.

• Visual Studio Team System Why two copies of everything when I use MSTest?

  Hi, I've gotten used to my test files being 'deployed' before tests are actually run. However, I can't figure out why I get two copies of everything when I run my tests from the command line via MSTest. Example: I'm sitting in c:\foo, and I run MSTest with some arguments. My test files appear in a new subdir in VsEqtDeploymentRoot, as I would expect, because this is what happens when I run my tests from within Whidbey. However, a second copy of all this stuff also appears in the current directory, c:\foo. In order to closely approximate an actual deployment scenario, I'm copying upwards of 50 MB of stuff around everytime I run a batch of tes ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can no longer drag Container-type controls with mouse in IDE

  Something has changed in my VS2005 IDE - and I can't figure out what the problem is. Started a brand new project - simple Windows Form - and added a tab control to it. I can't drap the control around on the screen with the mouse. I can resize with the mouse, and I can use the arrow keys to move the control. When I move the mouse to the top-left corner of the control, I get the nice icon that lets me know I can move the control, but nothing happens if I try! Attempted the same thing with the split container control - same result. Same with GroupBox and Panel controls as well. Moving simple controls (label, textbox, etc) works fine. I ...Show All
