• Visual Studio Team System Upgrade SQL 2005 Sept CTP / TFS Beta 3 Advise Needed

  Hi all, I have an old TFS install (TFS Beta 3 + SQL 2005 Sept CTP) and need to upgrade to RTM versions. I understand that it is not possible to upgrade SQL, that I need to backup, uninstall, install RTM and re-attach the various TFS databases. Is this true If so what is the best method for backing up the TFS database as Management Studio is not installed and I do not believe was included in Sept CTP. I am not sure if using an RTM versio ...Show All

Can this be done The example is I have a database location that only needs to be entered once for the machine, it doesn't have to be entered for each user on that machine.

• Windows Forms Modifying .application dynamically?

  I am creating a configuration tool that does: 1. Creates a vdir under IIS. 2. Copy necessary files to this vdir. 3. Modify the .appliation files changing the deploymentProvider codebase to appropriate URL. The first 2 steps works fine as usual. But the third step fails. I successfully modified the codebase URL, but I got errors (see below). I guess once the .application files are create using VS 2005, the URL should not be changed. I wonder if t ...Show All
