• Visual Studio Team System TFS Mapped Folders - WSS

  Our project is using TFS for both source code and all project requirements, design and management documents.  We have set up numerous TFS groups to control read/write access for our various project roles.  We have been having a lot of problems with novice business analyst users attempting to add documents from outside the local folder areas for which they have write access priveledges in the corresponding server folder areas.  TFS responds to these attempts with varying cryptic error messages that has led us to spend time verifying and changing our TFS group setup and folder permissions only to find out later it was "oper ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple Devices per subscription and SQL-NS API communication

  Hi, I've got two questions, both targeting SQL-NS on SQL Server 2005. 1.  What is the best way to handle a subscription that could have more than one device associated with it   For example, a subscription that should result in both an Email and a phone call (via custom delivery channel).  I'm attempting to avoid needing to have two separate subscriptions that are identical other than device type.  This could be accomplished with a child table, but what's the best method of incorporating this into SQL-NS 2.  How does the SQL-NS API communicate with the SQL Server   Is it simply a regular SQL connection over por ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) A question on xbap

  When I open a xbap (formally wab) in IE, a progress bar is displayed indicating that the application is being download and the application will be loaded after the download ended. Since the WPF Jan. CTP has been installed on my machine, I am wondering what will happen if there is no WPF installed on the client machine. Does it promopt the end user to download the .NET Framework 2.0 and corresponding WPF Components Thanks! Gotcha, you are talking about the IE7, then how about the pre-WINFX builds of IE, aka IE5, IE6 I believe what the original poster wants to know is the situation on IE5 or IE6, that can make more sense. ...Show All
