• Visual Studio Team System Error 32000 - BISSubscribe.exe/BISService.asmx

  I have just installed Team Foundation Server for the third time and have hit the same error everytime. I am installing on clean Windows Server 2003 SP1 virtual servers in a dual-server configuration. I have followed the "Visual Studio Team FOundation Installation Guide" (v50428) and I have changed just one thing that I don't feel is the problem here. The ONLY change I have made is, when I installed SQL Server 2005 April CTP, I placed the Data folder on a different partition for size considerations. This does not appear to be related in any way that I can tell to my 32000 error. Like many others, my application tier installation gets to about ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel ScreenUpdating in VSTO

  Hi group, I am having difficulty in getting the ScreenUpdating property to work correctly. I have opened an existing Excel spreadsheet in VSTO and in the process of adding some additional functionality. The code essence: For i = 1 to 10 'There are 10 sets of ranges Range("MyRange" & i).Rows.Hidden = True Next i This produces screen flicker. I wrote this same code within VBA and it works well. Excel VBA syntax: Application.ScreenUpdating = False. Works very well in a class module or module.

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Builds and dropping an MSI

  Hi, I just started using Team System this week, and I've been able to muddle along fairly well, but I've just discovered something that to me is a real show stopper. And based on the searches that I have done in Google and in these forums, I'm beginning to think there is something fundamental I missing based on the small number of responses to this problem. My problem is that the team system build does not build the Setup projects. I understand that this is because MSBuild does not support them, but I am flabbergasted by this fact. What use is a build system that does not create the fundamental deployment deliverable Obv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System can't upgrade B3R to RC due to pending merge / branch

  It appears that I cannot upgrade with a pending change in the system. tfsupgrade /verify returns an error about a shelveset having pending changes. According to the server status there are no pending changes for the listed owner and we have deleted the shelveset. any suggestions I think we're stuck with B3R until we can build up a separate system... I couldn't wait. I just went in and manually deleted the two rows out of the pending merges table. That got rid of the error and the tfsupdate command appears to have completed successfully. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unable to view Source Control Explorer in Beta2

  I currently have 25 or so developers running up against Beta 2's Version Control. Everybody up to this point has been fine. However, I recently added another member to the team and they can NOT see any of the existing projects under Version Control. I have given them every access right I can find (include Project Administrator on the Team Project itself). Any ideas or things I could try Thanks, ~slee To be honest, I would suggest moving to Beta 3 refresh, since beta 2 is a dead end.  Beta 3 is a huge improvement over beta 2. Buck ...Show All

• Visual C# Creating instance of Generic type using parametised constructor

  Hi, Why does the code below not work I've constrained the T type of the Bar class to be a "Foo" but I still get compiler error "Error 1 'T': cannot provide arguments when creating an instance of a variable type" (beta 2 - 8.0.50215.44). Since I've constrained T to be a class rather than interface, shouldn't I be able to use the Foo(int) constructor Is there another way of doing the same thing In my case, Foo is an algorithm (i.e a numerical interpolation scheme) and Bar is a data class which I'd like to associate the algorithm with. It seems like a nice way of doing things but it doesn't work :( Dave     pub ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Date Time changing based on timezones??

  I have a application which passes dates/times back and forth via web services.  The server is EST.  The pda is CST -1 hour.  The PDA downloads the data from the web service and insterts it in SQL CE.  When the user views the info it is 1 hour off. If the user adjusts the timezone on the pda to EST it works fine.   Any help on how to tell the app to ignore timezones Thanks, Aaron OK, and just to be sure, this is right after sl.GetTickets returns And is the conversion 2005-09-27 -> 2005-09-07 a typo, or does this actually happen Anyway, it seems the PDA is misin ...Show All
