• Visual Studio Team System Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. I really like the product and have convinced my manager we should move to it but I can't really do that in good faith if the team is going to lock up frequently. Cheers, Clint Well I w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Another warehouse not updating :(

  Hi folks, i've noticed our warehouse reports are updating/working. eg. Remining Work Report Generated: 6/06/2006 4:16:54 PM by Domain\User; Last Warehouse Update: 21/05/2006 5:41:04 AM.

• .NET Development access permission probelms. HELP ME!!!

  I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop, both running win xp home. Both are wirlessly enabled and connect wirelessly to the internet through a belkin router.

I don't want to do that. Basically, I want to keep the current data as well as add the new data on to it. I tried the append (+=) function, but when I call the UpdateData() function, it takes a while to update. I am appending large quantites of data which slows the update function.

  OK, so it's not  completely new.  Some of you may remember that I had created a StatsViewer before (many moons ago).  I updated it to work with the 1.2 Terrarium Server.  This new version is completely rewritten and is much better behaved than the old one.  StatsViewer gives you a nice GUI interface for viewing the progress of your favorite critters.  Go to http://www.DavidAndAngela.ws/Terrarium to install it.  Oh, BTW.  In case you hadn't guessed.  You can use that URL instead of the IP address in your Terrarium client. ...Show All
