• SQL Server Freetext search not working after SQL 2005 upgrade

  *** See next post as I have found it is nothing to do with freetext search I just assumed it was this *** Hi I have upgraded our test system to SQL 2005 from 2000 and restored a production database. I have rebuilt the freetext index and it would seem that if you query this from an .ASP page using OLEDB it does not return any results even though there are some. If you then run the same query in Management studio you do get the expected results. The code worked perfectly under SQL 2000. Also all other queries that run from the .ASP page work correctly that do not involve a freetext seach. I have made sure the client is using the lastest MDAC p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Dropdown Combo + Select Multiple Values

  Hi All, I have a report I've designed in Visual Studio (Business Intelligence Module) where I have a drop down that I have a couple of values in, but I want to be able to select various combinations of those values, but can only select one at a time. What I'm trying to achieve is a list with a tickbox next to each value, similar to how Excel's Pivot Tables work. I know this is coming out in SSRS 2005, but does anyone know if there is anything I can do now to get around this Cheers Steve This is supported in SQL Server 2005 Report Server, as you mention, but not in earlier versions. ...Show All

• Visual C# Bug in C# compiler with generics ? (BadImageFormatException)

  I m' having a problem with a quite simple program using generics inheritance. Running the program throws a BadImageFormatException (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000B). The program defines a generic entity, factory, and entity reference (an ID and a pointer to an entity). A "factory factory" is used to create the factories. A User factory and a User entities are defined. This is the program : /// <summary> /// Generic class defining an entity /// </summary> /// <typeparam name="E">The entity type</typeparam> /// <typeparam name="F">The factory type used to create entities ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System EndToEndIteration target

  I've been browsing the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file and I followed the EndToEndInteration target as this is the one that gets run when Team Build does it's thing. I have a question on the CoreGet target. This seems to get the latest source code for a workspace and then label the files with the BuildNumber. It's the labeling that I'm wondering about... Does the label command take a look at each file in the workspace (i.e. the one on the local drive) and apply the new label on that version in SCC, or does it simple go through the latest versions in the specified branch on the server and apply the label What I was concerned abou ...Show All

• Visual J# Publishing a project

  I am trying to publish my project, but when I run the installer it dies because the the project has been improperly formatted. I have been unable to find any references to formatting during publishing, or even system requirements for the published version. If you have an easy solution or if you can point me in the direction of reference material for this that would be great. Thanks. Hi, Yes, Visual Studio Team System is not freely available. Again, what I understand from deployment is that you want to create a .msi for you J# projects. That is not supported in Express SKUs. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What the method EntitySet.RemoveAt is for?

  When I remove an entity with this method, the entity is removed from the collection. But when I then call SubmitChanges, no commands are send to database.   Vitali Lesheniuk wrote: > Removing an item from an entityset does not cause deletion.  It merely breaks > the link between the two entities (foreign key is set to null.) I didn't write only about deletion. Broken link between two entities must also be saved. But now nothing happens. That sounds like something is not working right.  Are you using SqlMetal generated objects or ones you wrote yourself &nb ...Show All
