• Visual C# Extending Membership and Roles:

  Info: We are trying to incorporate membership and roles in the website we are building. The site would contain separate folders for each group/family (to store family pictures, for example). Also, a groupID / familyID would be needed in the database to identify data pertinent to the group/family. Concerns: If we were to add a groupID field to a table, a custom membership provider would have to be written – ov ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deploying Custom Test Type VSPackage to a Controller and Agent

  I read the documentation about Installing Custom Test Types on the controller and agent, but it just says the the core components must be installed, but really doesn't give any detailed description of exactly how to do it. I know it needs to be in the LoadTest directory, but I'm a little confused about the exact steps that I need to take. I modified the Custom Test Type sample and I have my fooTIP.dll and fooTUIP.dll, but once I copy those to th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) svcutil & .Net naming guidelines

  Hi, Is there any way to force svcutil to generate proxy classes that would follow the official .Net naming guidelines (eg. pascal case for methods / classes / properties) I know this can be achieved by using such casing in wsdl (xsd) but this is something I would like to avoid and is not always something that we can controll if third party services are being used. Is there some kind of switch I could use to force the mentioned behavior Bes ...Show All

  In the documentation for the CreateDirectory method, it is mentioned that UNC names can be written as UNC\filename. Cant we just use " \\\\ " instead. Also, in one of the cases, I found that a certain code generates a directory path as below: \\xxx\dir1\/dir2 (Note the consecutive backslash and front slash) When the above is given to createDirectory, it correctly creates \\xxx\dir1\dir2 but when I try to use the \\ ...Show All

I then added a database user (name ASPNET) associated with this database login and give it only datareader and datawriter ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleted Project using TFSDeleteProject but Source Code Root Still Showing Up

  I deleted a project using TFSDeleteProject (with the force option) but my VS 2005 IDE Source Control Explorer still shows the deleted source code folder root (with a single TeamBuildTypes folder with a red X thru it).  The funny thing is is that if I go to another machine and log in with the same credentials the particular folder does not show up.  Looks like there is some sort of hanging artifact on my local work machine that isn't ge ...Show All
