• Visual Studio Team System Confusion when the Merge target solution is not loaded

  Merging when the source branch solution is loaded into VS and the target branch isn't throws you off for a moment because you know there should be pending changes but there aren't any.  At least not until you load the target branch solution.  This is a rough-edge IMO.  What if I merge branches and the merge spans multiple solutions   Do I need to load each solution in order to checkin all the pending changes from within VS   I know there's probably an easier way to do this from the command line but folks are probably going to prefer to stay in VS when possible. Do you ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Are web tests executed in actual application?

  When I execute a recorded web test that would add a new company (or whatever) in the application, the new company is not added when I go and check in the application after the test was completed successfully. Not sure how the test run process works. Does it have a real effect on the data in the application that I am testing The replayed test should indeed have an effect on the application --it should have the same effect as if running the application in the browser. It is not clear why this does not appear to be working for you.  But it could be one of the following issues: 1.) It is possible that ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Portability

  I moved an SSIS Package from a computer A to a computer B. I opened it on B. A number of tasks got the red bullet, obviously because the Connection Managers were no more valid. One could have expected that if the names of the servers, databases and tables were identical on A and B the Connection Managers would remain valid. Not so I’m afraid. I tried to Edit one of the Sources in order to link it to the new Connection Manager. After more than one minute (on a powerful computer) during which VS was “Not Responding”, I got the following Massage Boxes: ================================================= TITLE: Microsoft Visua ...Show All

• SQL Server merge agent error

  Hi We are using HTTPS merge replication. One of my subscribers is getting this error: Error messages: The Merge Agent failed after detecting that retention-based metadata cleanup has deleted metadata at the Publisher for changes not yet sent to the Subscriber. You must reinitialize the subscription (without upload).
