• Smart Device Development Strategy/technology choice for Mobile App on VS 2005

  We have a non-mobile web app which runs asp pages with a VB.NET 2005 business rules DLL in the middle and either sql or oracle at the backend. The VB.NET DLL is activex enabled. Now we are developing a mobile app in vb 2005 for mobile data collection. This is running Sql Server CE. I would like advice on the best way to connect the mobile application to the main app (a) when the app is connected on wireless or activesync and (b) when the app is disconnected. The web app already has an integration toolset so it can create and receive XML files and it can connect to external databases to import and export data. It seems a bit goofy to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Installing Process Templates

  Hi, I'm trying to install a process template that I've created. I'm able to upload it as a folder using the Process Template Manager within Visual Studio. I then compress the folder (i.e. so that the folders are contained at the base of the zip file - i.e. there is no folder called " MSF for Agile Software Development - v4.0 - TEST " but the zip file itself is called " MSF for Agile Software Development - v4.0 - TEST .zip" ). I've used the code below to upload the process template. However, although it gets added to the Process Template Manager list I get an error when trying to add a new project based on this p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Migrate sourcegear vault to TFS?

  I have a VS2005 solution that is in Sourcegear Vault. I would like to migrate it if possible. If not, can someone please tell me how to import the solution from my work directory. I would believe that the solution will initially look for vault, but I would then need to rebind it to TFS. This is quite important for my development to continue without a major problem occurring. regards, Mark I'm not aware of any full-featured migration tools for Vault yet. If you just want the files (i.e. not the history), copy them to a workspace and add them using 'tf add' or Source Control Explorer. You'll want to r ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce not working for customer

  I'm baffled by this - myClickOnce app installs and updates perfectly (across the internet) on my development PC, but does not work on any of my client's PCs. The only significant difference being that they use a proxy server to access the internet, but this is of course configured into IE, which I presume does impinge on ClickOnce. The proxy server does not require authentication. The error message is pretty much always the same - and doubly confusing at that, since it seems to indicate the program folder cannot be created, and yet if I search the hard disk I can find the whole application intact (but not at the location referenced in the lo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Process Hook Failed" with Performance Explorer when using sampling on a specific app

  I've successfully used sampling with Perf Explorer on my app in the past, maybe a month or two ago. And I can use it successfully on several OTHER applications. I can also instrument, although it's too slow for my current needs- However, currently if I either launch or attach to the process with sampling, I receive a "Process Hook Failed" error. In Output, it successfully attaches, and then immediately exits. Any ideas I've searched in vain for any mention of this error message, and am now at the point of just randomly twiddling things to see if I can get it to work again. thanks! ...Show All
