• SQL Server Can't uninstall or reinstall nonfunctioning sql server

  In previous post in the Getting Started section, I discussed problems trying to run queries on multiple databases: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=299240#299240&SiteID=1 Nobody could help with the problem. I eventually got a query to run after several attempts at deleting and recreating databases.

• Visual C++ Post-build events in VC++ 2005 always running

  Why are post-build events (Configuration properties - Build Events - Post Build Event) executed regardless of whether any build occurred in the main part of the build If nothing changed in the project, i.e. the main build never occurred because it was already up to date, a post-build event is still run. In VC 6.0 when the build was up to date, the post-build event did not run which is the behavior I desire. Should this be filed as a bug or is this by design Is there any way to make a conditional post-build event based on whether the main build occurred, like in VC 6.0 Thanks, Ted. FINALLY ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source Control acting weird

  I had a team project with a bunch of code as part of its source control (solution with 4 projects).  I wanted to change the team project over to a new process template I created.  So I took a backup copy of my source code from my local filesystem, and then used tfsDeleteProject to delete the team project. I opened up my .sln file and went to Change Source Control... and unbound all the projects and the solution. I created a new team project using the same name as the previous one, and created a new source control root using the same name. When I open up the source control explorer for the new team project I see the source control ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing Smart Client Applications.

  Hello all Our company develops smart client applications. For the past year we've been using VSTS from its early Betas to now the 180 day Trial. I've been looking at the testing capabilities of VSTS and we've created a bunch of Unit tests, Manual Tests, Ordered Test(of only unit tests) and that's it. Because we do not have a web application, we can't really use the Load Test and the Web Test. The only workaround for us would be to create an .aspx page that invokes all of our Web Services calls and then create a Web Test based on that .aspx page. Personally I don't like this approach since it is not a good representation of our smar ...Show All
