• Visual Studio Team System Development, Staging and Production - how many build types?

  If you have a development, staging and produciton environment, would you create a build type for each plaftorm They are different deployments. So, I guess they would be the same build type. I am just having issues understanding the correlation between the build and how it's deployed. When I take a look at the build that it generates for an ASP.NET application, I'm not quite sure the best way to actually deploy that build to some server. Any links that would assist in bettering my understandings of this process would be most helpful. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Deserialization in while loop

  Hi, I am experiencing a performance problem in Beta 2 using a SequentialWorkflow. Every iteration of the loop attempts to deserialize the activities and that is not desirable since, in my case, a delay of a couple of seconds results. Can this deserialization be stopped by setting the UnloadOnIdle flag to false I am not explicity using a PersistenceService and do not wish to use the SqlStatePersistenceService. I have also seen a reference in comments to a PersistOnClose property for an Activity. The call stack of execution between the loop condition check and the execution of the first Activity in the while loop is as follo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office HorizontalAlignment

  Hello, (Disclaimer: I am new to VB .Net) I am trying to create an application that automates a spreadsheet (creates worksheets, populates and formats). I want to center the column heading text. This seems to work: xlsheet.range("1:1").HorizontalAlignment = -4108 Why does this work (using -4108) I suspect this is not the obvious way to do this. Hi, The code that you wrote works because it is valid syntax, but it isn't a good way to code. Your question illustrates the problem; I can't tell what this code does by reading it because I have no idea what -4108 is supposed to mean. ...Show All

• .NET Development WCF/WSE 3.0 interop with WebSphere

  I want to secure a message built using WSE 3.0 or WCF (WS-Security). By means of WS-Security a WebSphere web service should be able to interoperate. Just assume what ever is the latest version of WebSphere (WAS). How to do this - is WS-Security and SecureConversation built in to WebSphere or is it maybe possible to use Axis2 And are there (I assume there is) compatibility issues with the various implementations of WS-Security ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Heeeeeelp!! i cant unlock a file locked by other user!!

  Hi, please help me, other user have locked a file for editing, but his PC crashed, now hes formating his PC. i've tried to unlock it without success, i've read about permissions, i found the "Unlock others", all my groups have this enabled, but doesnt work, what am i doing wrong Hi Oscar, Is it possible you're posting to the wrong forum This forum is about SourceSafe and source control integration. If by "locked" you mean the file is checked out exclusively in SourceSafe, you can undo that user's checkout by opening the VSS database with SSExplorer and Admin user. The Admin user has rights to undo other u ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions

    I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relationships are drawn. Instructions are to click on this and do that. One creates table adapters and and dataadapers and with these apparoaches everything seems quite removed from what really happening. Al ...Show All

• SQL Server How to disable Export

  Hello, I am making a web application and I will show reports with the reportviewer, however the user can manage some parameters of the applicacion, the administrator can decide if he wants to allow the user to export or not export to PDF or XLS. Anyway, I want to enable or disable those options in the reportview dinamically! Is that possible I am going to take a guess based on 2 things you have said: "export to PDF or XLS". You don't mention other formats. "If I use Object o = info.GetValue(extension), then the object o is not null. " Is this an RDLC, not an RDL In which case what exactly is deco ...Show All

• Visual C++ use of __value as a variable name in unmanaged c++ code

  Hi, I think I get a compiler error when defining a variable named __value, even in unmanaged code. For example: I create a new win32 console application project, and add a single file containing something like: void main () {     int __value; } I get the errors: error C4980: '__value' : use of this keyword requires /clr:oldSyntax command line option error C2059: syntax error : '__value' My guess is that this is related to the change of keyword from __value to value between the 2003 and 2005 versions. But this really doesn't concern me, as I am not using managed code and I don't want either to be considered a reserved wor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System workitem issues after upgrade to RTM

  Hello, Two questions: After the upgrade for B3R to RTM we noticed that the workitems reflect the logonnames and not the displayname (as is standard in RTM). Is there any way to update existing workitems to reflect those changes In the selection lists we still see a lot more users than just for this project (as this lists seems to be populated from the team Foundation valid users group) Is it possible to have the lists be limited to only the users on the current team project Tnx Rene Hello Rene, Check out the code snippet here for changing logon names to display names: http://blogs.m ...Show All
