• Visual Studio Team System Team Suite not working -- Beta 2

  I have the foxed VS 2005 Beta 2 with 3 DVDs.  I installed 2 DVDs: VS2005 Team Suite, and SQL Server 2004 CTP.  (The third, Team Foundation Server, required a W2K3 server that I do not have.)   The Team Suite functionality, such as the Logical Designer, does not seem to be present.  I even tried a fixup installation.  This may be ignorance on my part.  What does it take to access or activate the Logical Designer   I don't believe that Team Foundation Server is required.  Or is it I want to use the plain vanilla Visual Source Safe for source control, rather than Change Management from TFS.  Ye ...Show All

• .NET Development Data Access, where to start?

  Hello, I am developing a small application and I am wondering where to store information that I need. After some thought storing the information in XML or in an Access database is probably the best option.

• SQL Server Is it possible to hide a field or fields based on User Groups?

  RS 2000 I have a report that has a few sensitive fields and would only like to show them to a certain AD group. Is this possible Hi, sure this is possible through custom .NET code.

• Visual C++ Where are "edit and continue" and refactoring options in Beta 2?

  Hi all. C# has edit and continue and refactoring VB has edit and continue and refactoring Classic C++ has edit and continue. Where are edit and continue and refactoring in Beta 2 for managed C++ I cannot find. Thanks in advance. I can understand the frustration.  We made a sincere effort to support C++ in the classdesigner.  If C++ weren't a priorirty we wouldn't have even spent the resources that we did to get this feature in to begin with.  In the end for reasons including those mentioned by Jochen above and the fact that we couldn't guarantee a high quality user experience ...Show All

• Windows Forms tableLayoutPanel bugs

  i have an tableLayoutPanel on my form which CellBorderStyle property is set to "Inset". it takes seconds to render this panel. but if i set CellBorderStyle property to "None" it is many times faster. this must be a bug.

• Windows Forms combo box requirement

  Hi, My requirement with combo box is like this. When focus comes to the combo box then only it should display drop button, when the focus looses It should just display like text box. Thanks for the advanced help. Regards pavan kumar Hi, I don't think that the default combobox has a way to hide the dropdown button maintaining the normal size (you could use "simple" in DropDownStyle but I guess you don't want that). The right way is for you to implement that behavior yourself and draw the combo the way you want. You could use a "hack" that is to draw a textbox with the text and when you se ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Backup Procedures

  I see there has been some docs on backing up TFS. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253151 It looks like this can get tedious. There are 7 SQL Server 2005 databases and a few sharepoint sites. Is there a plan to automate this These are still the instructions for B2. We will be making instructions for B3 avaialble shortly. In B3 all of our data is persisted in SQL so it's merely a matter of backing up the requisite databases using a SQL maintenance plan.  Once you have the plan in place you can use this to have automated nightly full backups (and hourly transaction log backups).
