• Visual Studio Team System Custom Checkin policy error

  Hello, I made a custom checkin policy which just asks if you are sure to checkin (its a demo), i then place it in C:\test\ and register the policy under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Checkin Policies (With its path and dll name!). Then i go to the source control properties and add a new checkin policy, my policy shows up in the the dialog box, and executes the code in the public bool Edit( IPolicyEditArgs policyEditArgs){ ... } (Shows a dialog box.)

• SQL Server Merge 2 Databases?

  My problem is this: I have a database file on a hard disk.  I have to read that data and merge it into a database on a sql server.  How can you merge   The databases are set up the exact same way.  The only difference in them is the data. Also, in the database file I have image names, I have to compare them to what is on the database on the sql server. Thanks Takes some logic, you could use a cursor since it's a small recordset and insert the records one by one using SCOPE_IDENTITY to determine the current ID for the child records. ...Show All

  Hi, I have an application which I did not originally create.  I develop it using Visual Studio 2003 - Visual C++.net.  When I click on the configuration manager for my solution I can see that this platform, for said application is "Win32".  I didnt think this was the case since my work (code) is developed compiled and run correctly using visual studio.net.

• Visual Studio unused/unreferenced dlls in the \bin directory

  When I build/compile my windows form app (Framework v2.0), dlls are put into the \bin directory that shouldn't be there.  For example, I had a reference to the Interop.DTS.dll while testing execution of a DTS package from my app.  I decided to not use that functionality and removed the refrence from my project, however the dll is still added to the \bin folder.  I have a few dlls like this.  Is there someplace else besides MyProject\References section that these dlls would be listed/attached/refrenced   I checked all of my code and can't find a refrence/Import statement for any of the troublesome dlls. Thanks ...Show All

  I have a dll that was made in c that I would like to invoke from C#. Some of the parameters want enumeration values to be passed to them. These enums are defined within the c project.

Option 1: [DllImport("TestDll.dll", EntryPoint = "fnTestDll" ...Show All

• Windows Forms In VS2005, The Component Container does not have a reference to the Form

  I am trying to create a custom control that inherits from BindingSource. I need a reference to the containing form of this new control.
