• Visual Studio Team System Can't reconnect to TFS using FQDN

   I originally posted this in the General group, but this may be better here: I connected to our TFS Server with just the host name, and that worked fine (tfsdev01).  Now though I've removed the connection and am trying to add the full name: tfsdev01.some.internal.domain.com.  I can browse to the fully qualified site from IE ( http://tfsdev01.some.internal.domain.com:8080/Services/v1.0/ServerStatus.asmx ).  When I try to add the server in the IDE though, I get the following error: TF31002: Unable to connect to this Tream Foundation Server... --------- From a different machine that I never connected to it before, I can ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Application Manager - Device Not Connected

  When I use the application manager (CeAppMgr.exe) to try and install a program, I get a message that says something like "The device must be connected to run Application Manager". (The device is not connected.) I am using a Windows Mobile 5 device and ActiveSync 4.0. What must I do to get the desired behavior "The application will be installed on the next mobile device connection" Thanks, Frank I found the problem.

• SQL Server SQL Server CTP won't install as Express is there, but Bld Uninstall Wiz won't remove it...

  What to do After 2 days trying (with only increasing frustration) to get SQL Server working on Net Server 2003 SP1, I'll try it on my dev box: XP Pro SP2. I've installed Visual Studio June CTP on my dev box, so guess that SQL Express is on it. Express Manager isn't installed apparently, so I can't just use that. So now when I try to install SQL 2005 CTP, it displays a dialog that old bits need to be uninstalled first. Add-Remove Programs dialog show Visual Studio Beta 2 but not SQL Express or any other SQL. So I run Bld Uninstall Wizard that displays the following dialog I continue, but then it says it is done: But SQL ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems with source control in Team Explorer

  I'm the admin for our newly setup TFS. I've added myself as an admin along with a bunch of useres. All of us have VS 2005 Team suite trial, and a team project site has been setup. When I go into the 'source control' branch in Trsam explorer in VS, the source control explorer opens up, however everything in there is grayed out. The same view from other dev's machines shows up fully functional. Is something broken in my install, or do I need to setup permissions in a different way Also, When I do a 'add solution to source control', I get the VSS login box, not the one from TFS. On a related note, how do I control which user&nbs ...Show All

• .NET Development How to insulate the client from poor network reliability?

  We are developing some in-house ERP applications, that will use an WinForms UI and an IIS-hosted Web Service.  The clients will be using a wireless network that is prone to alot of interference.  I wish to ensure that the request and response are not corrupted due to network interference.  What would be the best way to accomplish this I imagine some form of checksum on the SOAP messages would suffice.  Is something like this built into web services via VS 2005   If not and I have to implement it myself, what would be the best way to go about accomplishing this FYI, I am accessing the web services via a proxy c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding Navigator Tool.Enabled not Working As Expected

  I have a binding navigator for which I want to selectively enable/disable the Delete button based on the return value of a table adapter query (given data condition).  When all my variables were declared and instantiated within the procedure enabling/disabling the Delete button it worked.

• Windows Forms Model-View-Controller Implementation

  I have learnt about Model-View-Controller concept and after reading it i tried to implement it in VC++. I am having trouble in making the modules M,V and C communicate with each other. I am not able to find out a method of making the controller a kind of bridge between the model and the view. So can anyone give me an example program which does so. Any simple program will do, like for example making a calculator with just three text boxes and one button . Pressing of the button should invoke a function from the model via the controller. The value in the textbox1 and textbox2 should flow into the model variables via the ...Show All
