• Visual Studio Crystal Reports v Access Reports

Some of them are very complex, involving sub-sub-sub reports and using lots of Access tricks to make things appear as they are meant to appear. I want to rewrite the application in VS.net 2005 but have never used Crystal Reports before.

• SQL Server Detect installed version?

  Today I installed SQL Server 2005 developer edition on a test server. Afterwards I also installed the SP1.

• Visual Studio Team System Changing the default checkin action from 'Resolve' to 'Associate'

  Does anybody know how I can change the default checkin action from 'Resolve' to 'Associate' for tasks   I've been looking through the process templates and I am either blind or it's not there. Our development team is complaining that they want to make multiple checkins for the same work item but they are resolving issues with the first checkin instead of just associating...     You can remove the "Resolve" action, if you do not want to have users manually pick the "Associate" action (the second in the list). For this, you will need to edit the Task workitemtype. The ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Querying protection capabilities on the server?

  In my service host I have two endpoints for the same contract: a secured one and an unsecured one. Clients may connect to either. However there will be server side configuration for the clients that specifies whether a client should use a secured or unsecured connection. Hence I need some simple negotiation to check which endpoint the client came in on and tell it to reconnect to an alternate endpoint if necessary if it used the wrong one. To do this I need a way in the contract implementation to perform this binding inspection. I have figured out how to perform an address comparison, but I would rather not. I would like to keep the endpoint ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Proxy only connection

  Is it possible to connect Visual Studio to a Team Foundation Server Proxy only We are planning a setup where the TFS will not be accessible by Team Explorer but only from the proxy. Thanks You can not connect Visual Studio to a Team Foundation Server proxy directly. Proxies are public so it can be accessed by any application. I don't think there is a way you can prevent people to connect to a Team Foundation Server through TE but yet have them able to access it through proxy. I am just curious to know why you want to prevent connection through VS TE but allow it through Proxy. Is it because you want them ...Show All
