• Visual Studio "Microsoft.Sdc.Tasks" project is not getting recognized

  I have created a web service with default settings. Copied the contents of the Install folder <from the GDN2[1].0.051004.000.zip file> onto a new folder called Build.

• Windows Forms Multiple Users and Roaming Profiles

  I probably know the answer to this but want to make absolutely sure. My app is aimed at schools and colleges. Typically, staff and students will use any available computer so each computer could have hundreds of different users in the course of a term. Am I right in thinking ClickOnce would reinstall for each new user with no shared disc storage If the users have roaming profiles, does the installation get moved across the network at each login Thanks Michael Yeah, it will re-install the first time a user uses a particular machine. In your example, it will re-install each time unless by some chance t ...Show All

• Visual C# DataAdapter+DataTable [multiple tables]

  i am using this command to extract data: string sCommand = "SELECT marital_status_id, marital_status, gender_id, gender_title, id_type_id, id_type FROM marital_status, gender, id_type"; but facing a problem because it's not accepting multiple tables: oDataAdapter.Fill(oCustomersDataSet, "marital_status"); DataTable oDataTable = oCustomersDataSet.Tables["marital_status"]; so is there anyway to let it accept multiple tables Filling a DataSet with multiple tables can be done by sending multiple requests to the database. There is a faster way, that is a multiple SELECT. The problem h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Server Sizing

  Hi there I've recently enjoyed Etienne Trembley’s webcast “ Adopting Visual Studio Team System ”. Etienne uses Brian Harrys server sizing data . Our team is about 35 people, so apparently we’ll only need the smallest configuration surgested, that is 3.4GHz, 1GB, 1 x 10K rpm SCSI (though we recognize Bians huge disclaimer). Etienne recommends using a virtual single server installation for teams of our size. Brian Harry suggests upping the memory on the box from 1GB to 2GB (at least) because of the two OSs (host and virtual) running on it. Has anyone tried this at home How big would you size the (virtu ...Show All

• SQL Server Dynamically creating cube

  Hi guys I'm investigating whether if its possible to Dynamically create a cube. Then Process this cube before exporting it to a .cub file. I know that DTS in sqlserver is able to process a cube given at a scheduled time interval. But I'm not sure how I can export a cube to a offline .cub file dynamically. The only way that i know to create a .cub file is via PivotTable in Excel. Any help in pointing me to the right direction is appreciated. Thankyou  Tom The reason I ask is because I need to generate sales data to various company however each company requries different sets of cube data be ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Multiple threads, UI, and images

  I'm currently trying to write an application that dynamically loads images in a background process in order to eventually display them on the UI. Essentially, my background thread creates objects that inherit from System.Windows.Media.Brush or System.Windows.Media.Drawing so that my UI can redraw itself using these objects. When running my code, I receive an InvalidOperationException with the explanation of " The calling thread may not access this object because the object is owned by a different thread. ". This appears to be behavior for any class that derives from System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherObject. My question is, how can ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dual Boot Vista Beta 1 and CTP 5231

  I have a Windows XP Machine which I added a new 200GB hard drive to so that I could partition it and install Beta 1 on it. I have a detailed explanation of my many problems involved with installing it here: http://startether.com/blogs/startether/default.aspx . But that is not the reason for this post. I want to have a machine where I can boot to CTP 5231, Beta 1, or Windows XP. Before installing CTP 5231, I could start Beta 1 without a problem, and get to Windows XP with no problem either. Since I installed CTP 5231, I can no longer start up Beta 1: it is only available from the Windows XP boot screen, and when I select it, the screen goes ...Show All
