• Visual Studio Team System How to customize ManualTest.mht for our organization

  We need to customize the ManualTest.mht file to our standard test case format. I found the thread about modifying the file in ItemTemplatesCache or ItemTemplates, but this did not do anything. Anyway, if this had worked, it would have only applied to my local machine and not for the entire organization. So, how does one modify ManualTest.mht and add it to team system on the server so that when testers create new manual tests, they will get th ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 - sp_rename doesn't work on user defined data types

  First a little intro, the company I work for relies heavily on user defined data types for the object model we have set up. This gave us maximum flexibility to for example easily extend descriptions to a varchar(50) instead of a varchar(40) when a customer required this. The process of changing the datatype is first we rename the datatype to have a new name, and afterwards the new datatype is rebound to all tables, stored procedures etc. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Error when using mixed access modifiers on properties

  In .NET / C# V2.0 you can have mixed access modifies on a singe property eg. [Column] public string CustomerName { get { } protected set { } } When you use this functionality with DLinq, and run a Customer query, DLinq fails to create the objects and gives an exception on invocation error. In DLINQ, the same thing would happen if it was a read-only property (without a set). ...Show All

• SQL Server 3 Management Studio Bugs

  Good morning, If this is the wrong place to post this I apologize, but I haven't been able to find any forums dedicated specifically to SQL Server 2005. I've posted 3 bugs to the MSDN Feedback Center, which have yet to be "validated". As I understand it, nobody from MS even looks at the issue unless another user has seconded the nomination, so to speak. And the only way that happens is if someone happens to search for the same issue. At thi ...Show All
