• Visual Studio Team System VSTO and VSTS integration

  Scenario: In VS.NET Team Suite 2005, click an excel file. The file is opened in Excel and then a query is performed against the team foundation server to retrieve a list of work item. Question: How/where does the Excel VSTO get the connection string to the team foundation server Thanks, Yuhang. Hi, I assume that you are referring to the .xls files that are found under the 'Documents' node in the Team Explorer. Some of the .xls files are modified on their way up to the server during Team Project Creation. The name of the server an a GUID for the query to run are embedded in the .xls ...Show All

• .NET Development (In)Validate my reasoning

  Hi, I have a design concern that might be nicely solved by remoting, assuming my reasoning is right. Assume the standard situation: I have a (HTTP) server and many, many clients. Due to reasons outside of scope of this post, I expose the server in a REST-ful manner - the method calls' parameters get mapped to query parameters of the URL and the result is a custom binary format (but you can imagine the result to be an XML, it doesn't change much). Now I know I can hook up easily to the client and server side and provide my own formatter that will produce custom binary format on the server and consume it on the client. However, I do not wa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Created database does not match project?

  I created a new project, imported the schema of an existing database, and then deployed that project to my local PC to, I thought, create an exact copy of the existing database schema. Basically, it is exactly the same as expected but if I do a comparison, there are numerous differences shown because the script for the source (my database project) includes (FILLFACTOR=90) on every index while the script for the target (the newly created database) does not include the fill factor option. Now, I understand that the source script might want to implement a fill factor and the target can't really specify one but this is a big issue. This me ...Show All

• Architecture One Server AD, Exchange & MS-SQL

  Hi All, Is it possible to run AD, File Sharing, Exchange and MS-SQL all on one Xeon server with 2GB RAM Beside the obvious that all the eggs are in one basket. This is for a small environment with only 30 users. My concern is that there are some conflict running all those application on one server. TIA I am not an infrastructure expert - but I would expect them all to install I would say though that you will probably run into performance problems - 2GB hardly seems enough - plus you didn't specify the storage you use, but I am guessing you do not have a SAN attached to that server - in w ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Where's requirement management in Team System?

  Hopefully, Team System covers most of Software Development disciplines, like Design, Development, Test, Project Management, Configuration Management and Deployment, but I didn't find anything about Requirement Management.

• SQL Server Workgroup Edition SSIS Features?

  Hello, If I have an instance of SQL Server 2005 Workgroup, am I able to run simple ETL packages against it By simple I mean: 1. Extract data from a comma separated flat file. 2.

• Visual Studio Possible bug with .net 1.1?

  I think there might be a bug with .net 1.1. Can anyone try to reproduce this Create an add-in, implement the projectrenamed event and make it pop a messagebox or something. Try to create a solution with the addin installed and rename a c# project (the event should fire). Then do the same thing with a c++ project (it won't fire on my machine). Am I alone having this This is how the VC project team intended this to work. The event fires to inform you that the project file has been renamed on disk. However, the name displayed within the UI and the actual file on disk are not the same on VC projects. So ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Setup - Cannot find Default Web Site

  Scenario: I've got one server available to install TFS. This server is also a web server with existing web sites for 3 different internet domains. The "Default Web Site" has been previously removed as it was not required. One internet domain is set up to catch all general HTTP requests (blank Host Header Value). What I've done so far: Installed all the TFS prerequisites for single server (including SharePoint Services in Web Farm mode). Added a Host Header Value to the existing default domain so that it won't be overwritten by TFS. Created a new empty folder called "C:\Inetpub\Default Web Site&quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to implement 2 features

  Hi, I am developing an application using WPF, and there are 2 features that I am unsure of how to implement. The app is currently an SDI, with a sidebar (stackpanel with buttons in it) docked to the left part of the screen. The main "content" is in the remaining area. When a user clicks several of the buttons on the sidebar, I would like to slide out a user control from the right edge of the stackpanel. When this happens, I would apply an image blur effect the the main content. I need help with the sliding out of the user control. The second problem is that the app will allow the user to fill out various forms. When a form is compl ...Show All
