• Visual Studio Team System cluster server support for DT?

  subject says it all, I think.. Is there (currently or planned) cluster server support for the DT server   I want to say the data tier supports clustering, because that tier would just be SQL Server 2005.  So you should be able to use clustering like you always do.  I believe you have to have SQL Server 2005 Standard or higher. Rob Caron links to the Team System Licensing White Paper which also discusses this: http://blogs. ...Show All

• .NET Development Webservice not returning results when dealing with large data

  I have an interesting situation. I have a webservice function that I pass a DataSet, do some inserts, then return the results as a dataset.  This works fine 99% of the time. However, when I send a large dataset to this function strange things happen.  On my 'client' end nothing happens - I have a Console.WriteLine right after the webservice call and it NEVER executes (nor does it error out). ex: webserviceRef.sendData(someDataSet); Con ...Show All

• Visual C++ CString assignment operator causes memory exception

  I compiled VC++ 6.0 code with VC++.NET 2003/2005 beta and both causes a memory exception with CString assignment.

  Hi, I have a big problem with my visual studio: when I try to execute some of my other programs, a 'just in time debug' message appears. It asks me wether or not I want to start debugging with VS.
