• SQL Server Urgent need for problem of increase in database size for ntext type fields

  I had several databases under sqlserver ce 2.0 (in my Pocket PC) which contained ntext fields. The size of the databases varies from 50,000 to 700,000 records. The size of an ntext field is from 4 bytes to 2 megabytes. When I recreated my databases under sql server 2005 mobile on my desktop using VS2005 (see my post just under this one), I saw a big difference between the old and new database sizes. This problem was mentioned in one of the posts in this forum and the reply was to replace ntext data with ncharvar type. Since most of my data was longer than 4000 bytes (which is the limit for nvarchar type), I couldn't use this suggestion. Inst ...Show All

• Smart Device Development bluetooth for smart devices in managed code

  Microsoft said in a previous webcast that they would have a visual studio upgrade on 10th May for bluetooth client/server communications in managed code (vb or c#), particularly for smart devices. I don't really want to use native code, but if that were necessary how would I use native code (ce) within visual basic I’m not aware of such update for smart devices. In fact, latest update (NETCF V2 SP1) has been released just yesterday and it does not have BT support. BT story is even more complicated than simple P/Invoke from managed to native. There are different BT stacks available. Microsoft's stack i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Deployment problem

  After publiching my C# program, the installation works fine until I use MAGEUI.EXE to add a initialization file and a help file to the manifest.  After I do that the install no longer works.  I have tried various re-signing options and still get :   "+ Reference in the deployment does not match the identity defined in the application manifest." The file extensions for the 2 files are changed to .deploy and the manifest is updated.  Any suggestions Thanks Glen Okay. Seeing how your issue is now resolved (even if you did have to use a workaround), and that it is unlikely that we'll ever see an a ...Show All

• SQL Server Task Expression Evalutation Time

  I have designed a package whose first step initializes several variables .  Other steps in the package have expressions based on those variables. Example Expression for MyTask:    PropertyName = "Disable"    Expression = "@DoMyTask" Given this example MyTask will be enabled/disabled solely based on the value of @DoMyTask at the time the package execution begins.  Changing the value of @DoMyTask prior to the normal execution of MyTask has no effect . My conclusion is that the expression is not being evaluated late enough.  Any help   DarrenSQ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TokenizeCompoundWord not tokenizing as expected

  I'm running the VS2005 integrated version of FxCop but debugging by using the stand-alone IDE and I've noticed that I'm getting some funny results (visible in debug) from the RuleUtilities.TokenizeCompoundWord method when tokenizing words with underscores in them E.g. EMPTY_ARGUMENT_ERROR is tokenizing to "EMPT", "Y", "ARGUMEN", "T", "ERROR" instead of "EMPTY", "ARGUMENT", "ERROR" Also I have come across situations where a single 'word' tokenizes to nothing! E.g. variable name "x" tokenizes to "" Has anyone else come across these p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Accessing TFS without Windows Integrated Security? (Internet Access)

  From what I see after an installation of Beta 3 is this Web Site on Port 8080 with integrated authorization. I am thinking of changing this to basic authorization and after that publishing the site over SSL with an ISA server. So that it looks like that: Client - SSL (Port443) -> ISA - HTTP (Port 8080) -> TFS Is it really that easy or what is the recommended way of achieving this Does the Client in VS2005 offer a way to enter creditentials As Bruce said, not all issues are worked out.  However, you should be able to access the server via SSL and basic auth.  VS will prompt for credentia ...Show All
