• Visual Studio Tell VSS to ignore a file - basically like .ignore in CVS

  I have a file containing the connection strings for a project like this: < connectionStrings configSource = " ConnectionStrings.config " > Each developer has their own ConnectionStrings.config file - we would like this file to be part of the project (with Copy always set for the "Copy To Output Directory" attribute), but not included in VSS (or at least ignored on check ins and definitely not overwritten on when we get the latest version).  In CVS we could add the an entry to the .ignore file and it would be ignored by CVS clients - is this same functionality available in Visual Studio / VSS   If not how you handle th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Static component - is it possible?

  Is it possible to create a component that behaves like static - each time you put it into the designer's tray it is the same instance of the component For example, I have a collection of styles, brushes, etc., which is a component. I also have a couple of forms, each needs the collection. I put the collection for each form into it's components' tray. Each time a new instance of the collection is created. I want this collection to be the same instance for each form - a kind of static. Is it possible Thanks, truetype I still do not believe that adding a singleton instance of a class like the one you describe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Lost Web Test Editor - all WebTests view in XML by default

  Hi, I seem to have lost the web test editor for viewing my web tests. The system is defaulting to opening these with the XML editor instead. Can anyone out there tell me what the default location of the Web Test Editor executable actually is, so I can add it into the "Open With" List for web/load tests. Thanks You must have clicked "Set as Default" on the "Open With" dialog for the XML editor.  The web test editor should be listed in the "Open With" dialog (there is no need to "Add" a new editor).  Just choose the "Web Test Editor" and then click "Set as Default" to restore the settin ...Show All

• SQL Server ADOMD.NET 8.0 dependencies for connecting to both AS 2000 and AS 2005

  I've got a C# application developed with Visual Studio .Net 2003 which uses Adomd.net (8.0) to access cubes on SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services as well as SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services. In the MSDN reference page I noticed that I can set the connection parameter "ConnectTo=Default", and now, after installing the SQL Server 2005 Client Connectivity components, I can make connections to both AS2K and AS2K5 from my development machine (XP SP2). However, I can't figure out the dependencies to make this work on other systems. On another XP SP2 system (pretty bare-bones), if I install either the SQL Server 2000 or 2005 Client Con ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot backspace or create newline in Query Editor

  After creating and editing queries in SSMS I will occasionally get into a situation where I can only type characters into a query, i.e. I cannot backspace or create a newline in a query.  Also after the problem occurs when I close SMSS I get this error: SqlWb.exe application error.  The instruction at '0x473f9d1' referenced memory at '0x03e51eb8'..  The memory could not be "written". I've discovered this is because I have a legacy DTS package open.  If I close the legacy DTS package the query editor works fine and I do not get the application error.   ...Show All

• Visual C++ noobie listbox value question

  im fairly new to the visual environment and have been playing around with listboxes recently in visual c++ 2005 express edition. i assigned a binding source to a listbox and have a button which implements a function requiring me to get the value of a particular selected item, or all of them. the listbox->items attribute gets me an objectcollection from which i can get the string value, but not the value associated with that string. from what i can tell, the listitem and listitemcollection is not available in c++, which sound like they would do the job nicely. the only other useful information i found was here... ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v ...Show All
