• Visual Studio Team System Checkin Policy to Require Checkin Comment - How?

  How would I implement a checkin policy that would require each checkin to have a Checkin Comment (Don't confuse Checkin Comments with Checkin Notes .) It seems easy to require a Checkin Note of some kind, but I can't find the equivalent for Checkin Comments. Do I have to write a third-party checkin extension to do this I would have thought that it would be a common requirement... Usually that means that your policy threw an exception in an unexpected place. Try double clicking on the failure and see if it gives more info. If not, attach a debugger and stop on thrown exceptions. Brian ...Show All

• Windows Forms Application Failed - Invalid Manifest

  This is the first time I have actually used the Publish... function in VS .NET 2005 Beta 2, so maybe I am missing something obvious... I do the publish, and everything comes out fine, except for two warnings: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning : Could not find resources for culture 'en-US'. Using culture 'en' instead. C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning : Could not match culture 'en-US' for item '.NET Framework 2.0 Beta'. Using culture 'en' instead. These actually seem pretty harmless though... I then copy the entire folder the solution was publis ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums transaction processing in an Access app?

  In an Access app, is there the concept of a transaction, with "start transaction", "commit", and "rollback" If so, how do I implement it in VBA My app will have a main form withfour subforms on it. It will also have a Save button and a Cancel button. I would like to start the transaction when the main form is loaded, and commit only when the user clicks the Save button. The Cancel button would trigger a rollback. Changes made on the subforms would be temporary until the entire transaction is committed. Can someone point me in the right direction for this, or better yet, show me an example Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server -- couldnot connect -- error

  Hi, I need information regarding an error occuring while accessing my TFS. One of my client working in Japan is not able to access TFS. We could access the same for example from Berlin.

• .NET Development Navigation Events!!

  I was wondering i have four button control....btnfirst btnlast btnNext btnPrevious btnfirst will go to first row of data btnlast will go to last row of data btnNext will move one position within the data table btnPrevious move back one item in the data table Is it possible to group all these navigation buttons under one Click Event and use like a Select Case block   any help would be great!! It is certainly possible. It seems like in most situations it would make more sense to have separate button handlers, where you wouldnt have to go through the extra step of figuring out which button was cli ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ migration problems

  I'm trying to bring a project from VC6 to VS2005 Pro. When I first imported the project there was, not unexpectedly, a long list of compiler errors and warnings, and I modified the source code to get rid of all of them, and am now left with 2 problems I'm not sure how to fix. 1) I get an error during the html help phase of compilation to the tune of "windows can't find hcw" - that's the executable for the help workshop. I see that hcw.exe was installed in the Tools/ directory of VS6, but I can't find a comparable executable anywhere in the VS2005 directories. (This problem does not stop compilation) 2) Much more disturbing t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity Status questions

  Two questions that came to my head: Is it possible to get the status of every activity in a workflow without tracking service How is the status of activities managed in the State Machine workflow, where you could dynamically insert new state that can bring the entire workflow to the initial state Stephan, From your question, it seems like you want to the status of activities from the host which is running the workflow. From the host, there is no way to get the status of an activity without using the tracking service. Thanks, Vijay ...Show All

Obviously, this would require thousands of man hours to complete, and so, to make the process more practical, and cost effective, a conversion tool was developed that could speed up the process.

• 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
