• Visual Studio Move task would be nice

• SQL Server CLR Integration - call function and returning dataset/datatable?

  Hi, I'm very new to Yukon and the CLR integration, but I think I understand the basics.  I have worked through the CLR tutorial on MS demo servers in which a function was created in vb.net that sql server could call, returning a string. One thing I am wondering is if sql server can call a .net function that returns a dataset or a datatable.  Would I be able to query directly off of the dataset returned by the function The reason i ask is because I would like to be able to do this: Create a function in .net that calls a web service that returns a large query to a datatable or dataset as part of a SSIS package that uploads that query ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Several issues with TeamBuild, July CTP

  I'm using the July CTP and have setup the application tier to be the build server. During the configuration of TeamBuild, I ran across the following: Since Visual Studio also guards the Bin folder in Web projects, any assemblies in that directory are added to Source Control. When these assemblies are actually project references, TeamBuild fails (MSB4126) to copy the output of these projects to the Bin directory (Access denied, files are read-only). I had to override the BeforeCompile target to remove the write-protection from these files to work around this. CodeAnalysis fails (CA00058) because Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.Resource ...Show All

• SQL Server User-defined functions - best practice suggestions.

  I've got a couple guys on my team who seem to think user defined functions are a "risky" feature in SQL 2000. I've been using them for years without problems. Yeah, this one of those loaded prove me right or flame me questions ... whatever. I promise not to consider posts on MSDN forums authoritative answers to this practice question. I'm just trying to see where people stand. What I'm interested in knowing is: Do you consider UDF's in SQL advanced, hard to figure out, hard to get right or risky Any cases where they've caused you more problems than other MS SQL features Random hints on best-practice for UDF's - where do t ...Show All
