Visual Studio Team System VS.NET 2003 and Team Foundation Server
I recently installed the MSSCCI Provider for VS.NET 2003. Shortly thereafter, I began receiving a number of error messages. Sometimes, upon opening VS I'll receive the message "Critical Error of Source Control Provider. Please restart IDE." Restarting the IDE usually results in the same message, but it seems as though restarting the entire OS sometimes fixes it. When I don't get that error on opening, I'll receive an error later on th ...Show All

.NET Development Access 2003 with ADO.NET for SQL 2005
I've now heard two conflicting statements. One in which an Access MVP told me that ADO.NET doesn't work with MS Access 2003 to connect to SQL Server 2005. Another where an MSFT has told me that the state of the art way to connect VB.Net to SQL Server 2005 is through ADO.NET. So, can someone potentially give me a little direction I'm concerned about using straight ADO in my application because its not being developed anymore. Perhaps Ac ...Show All

Visual Studio Express Editions Ejecting removable media
I'm writing a program that reads and write to MO drives and I need to be able to eject the MO disk on completion of certain tasks. Can anyone offer advice on how to do this I guess the same principles will apply to Zip drives (and maybe CD/DVD drives). Thanks Hi Ventuspilot, I think this would only be possible if the hardware manufacturer of the MO or Zip drive provided API's for controlling the drives. You migh ...Show All
