• Visual Studio Team System vssscc file corrupt

  Somehow (not too sure how it has happened) the <solutionname>.vssscc file has become corrupt in the Team Foundation Source Control. Performing an h get * in the directory that is bound to the solution folder in source control give an error about nulls in the database on the vssscc item. h get * /force seems to ignore the error and proceed though. This is causing our Team Build to fail when getting the solution out of source control. Any ideas how to proceed Regards Stef Shoffren Okay, I understand then.  The file that was corrupted by beta 2 is still unrecoverable even in the converted beta 3 database.  By going thro ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 and SQL Server 2000

  Can I use SQL Server 2005 with VS 2005 beta 2. When I tried to install VS 2005 b2 on the machine with SQL Server 2000 I got an error and my SQL Server EM couldn't connect to my server. Finally I installed VS 2005 on the other machine without 2000. The problem is that if I want to create some websites that are in production I have to use SQL Server 2000. The provider that I know lets do beta hosting doesn't provide SQL Server 2005. So have to use 2000. Any suggestions Thanks Shimon The June CTP version of SQL Server 2005 is compatible with VS 2005 Beta 2. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Debug in Windows NT

  Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005, How do I debug my MFC application in Windows NT Regards Manoj Jangid VS2005 doesn't run under NT I guess that means you can't, unless you can connect to debug remotely. For debugging on anything apart from my dev environment, I would use error logging rather than install VS on lots of machines. For starters, I'm not legally entitled to, I don't believe. Also, it's better to test on a virgin machine and work out machine specific issues through a mechanism that also gives you a way to gather information when a crash on happens on specific *client* machines. And believe me, this DOES ...Show All

• Windows Forms Any problem with installing .NET application on a shared network drive?

  Hello. Does anyone understand the mechanism of running a .NET winapp from a shared network drive I've tried with a few clients and it seems to be OK. However, how about if 100 clients running the same application at the same time I'm curious that the real mechanism of doing this is when I run the shared application from my local machine, the OS will copy the whole exe file to a temp folder in my machine first or what it does is like Just-In-Time code reading from the network source My app does not need any special call to non-partially trusted assembly as it just reads data from web services and perform some presentation.
