• SQL Server Create objects from a configuration file

• Visual Studio Team System Copy source control items with history

  Hi all, Is it possible to copy or move source control items to another team project, but without loosing the history Thanks, Michael. As long as the team project is on the same server and you have appropriate permissions on each folder, then it is possible to move the files between the two places using the Source Control Explorer or the command line client and history will be maintained. You might need to do some manual tweeking to ensure they are added/removed from the appropriate .vbproj or .vcproj files but it should work (I've just done it myself locally to be sure) However, I don't think that copying the files would wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio compilation for dotnet 1.1 framework

  is possible to use visual studio 2005 to compile applications for the 1.1 framework i haven't found any options that let me choose which runtime target. I have several applications running and i cannot move all of them to 2.0 framework in a day. Luca, Visual Studio 2005 does not support v1.1 of the framework. If you want to write your applications using VS2005 you have to migrate them to v2.0. We are looking at providing a solution that will allow command-line builds of v1.1 applications using MSBuild, but it doesn't sound like that's what your after. Neil ...Show All

• SQL Server Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance

  No wonder Microsoft is giving it away for free. It’s not worth anything. I am very disappointed in this version of SQL server. I decided to start learning VB so I downloaded and installed VB 2005 express edition and SQL 2005 express. I tried to build a personal website using the starter kit. I kept getting the following error message, for which I have seen numerous postings on this forum. “Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.” I went out and bought the Standard version of VS 2005 thinking there may be a feature that the free exp ...Show All

• SQL Server Accessing sys.syslockinfo from an application role

  In SQL Server 2005, you must have the VIEW SERVER STATE permission in order to access sys.syslockinfo ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189497 ). It seems that the VIEW SERVER STATE permission can only be granted to users. Once you execute sp_setapprole, the connection loses the permissions of the user and assumes the permissions of the application role ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190998 ). So, how can I access the sys.syslockinfo view while using an application role Note: I have to maintain compatibility with SQL Server 2000 Nevermind, I think there wa ...Show All

• Visual Basic Stopping Flicker

  I am sure that I have read how to do this but I seem to recall that it is to do with the paint event of a control. I have an application which uses a lot of different object types. These are displayed in a list. Changing the list selection causes the relevant data controls for that object to be displayed in a panel. I have a form for each set of controls. Using the object type I am selecting the appropriate window and adding it to the panel control collection. As the selection is changed the old window is closed and the new one opened. This causes a flicker on the panel. It does not matter too much if the objects are different ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server with Visual Studio 2003

  We have heard conflicting information about the compatibility of Team Foundation Server and Visual Studio 2003. We have many .Net 1.1 projects that we use vs2003 with.  We will have many .Net 2.0 projects that we'll use vs2005 with.  We would like to consolidate our concepts here and use the same Team Foundation Server if possible.  Primarily this would be with "version control" and "work item tracking". We have heard conflicting information about this functionality.  Does anyone know the final decision here   Will this "Team Explorer" TFS CAL work with vs2003 and .Net 1.1 projects Thanks!!!
