• Visual Studio Team System How to replace Unit Test Template code

  I have created a new MyUnitTest.cs file that want Visual Studio to insert when I run the Create Unit Test (or Add New Test -> Unit Test) Wizard.

Based on reading a few articles in the MSDN Forums, here is what I tried: 1. I went to ...\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\1033\SimpleUnitTest.zip and removed SimpleUnitTest.cs from the arc ...Show All

• Windows Forms Click Once Publish Version is not remembered in Source Safe

  Hello, I have created a Windows Forms application in VB.Net 2005 and deployed it using Click Once. I have checked the "Automatically increment revision with each publish" checkbox (MyProject Publish tab) and the revision is incremented as I would expect. I have then checked the solution in to SourceSafe source control (v2005) from the IDE. However, when another developer opens the solution from SourceSafe and rebuilds and publishes the application, the "Publish Version" is reset to 1.0.0.0. If the "Automatically increment..." checkbox is unchecked, then the "Publish Version" is remembered when ...Show All

• SQL Server Question about service configuration on SQL Server 2005 IA 64....

  While perusing Configuration Manager, I noticed on the properties for the services there is a parameter to indicate whether or not the service is running on a 64-bit operating system. If I'm running on a 64 bit Itanium server, shouldn't this be checked "Yes" I'd ask the server admin who did the install, but he is currently awol. Yes, it should be, assuming you 64bit Itanium server is running a 64bit OS, and the IA64 version of SQL was installed...you'd need to verify those 2 things... What version of SQL is running (run select @@version to get this) What Edition is running (run select ser ...Show All
