• Visual Studio Custom text markers in VS2005 beta 2

  Hi All, We have a weird problem with custom text markers under VS2005 Beta 2 (8.0.50215.44). <br> Our AddIn registers about 30 custom text marker types. We tested it under VS2005 and, seemingly randomly, some of them work and some do not. What happens is that markers do appear in the editor (tooltips are showing, for example), but they have wrong colors (not what our implementation of IVsPackageDefinedTextMarkerType says they should have) <br> We investigated this problem, and this is what we have found so far: <br> 1. When we remove all registered external markers (all entries from 'VisualStudion\Text Edito ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data Warehouse not updating properly

     Last Wed.  I created a new project to give a mini-demo to a co-worker.  I created a few work items in the course of this demo.  As of 2 hours ago, I created another project to verify that the database wasn't updating.  As of right now, neither project shows up in the TFSWarehouse Team Project table.  None of the work items created in either project are present in the TFSWarehouse Current Work Item table.  All of the services associated with SQLServer are running.  Any suggestions to get TFSWarehouse to update properly would be appreciated.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer - red cross on "documents"-folder

  Since installation of TFS I am unable to see the content of the documents-folder (teamexplorer) on a client-machine. There is always a red cross on the folder! If I start the team explorer on the server the documents folder is shown correctly. I tried to copy the http-url ( http://[servername]/sites/[Project ]) to an IE on a client and there the sharepoint site is shown without any problems. I did the changes required after installation of Sharepoint Portal Services SP2 ( http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaron/archive/2005/10/07/478336.aspx ).

• Visual Studio Team System Application Diagram

  Hello,     How can I use the settings and Constraints defined in my Application Diagram to deploy my application on a real server Tks, Hi Sidney, I'll try to give you a short answer to this question because there's a lot that can be said about it. The quick answer is that settings specified on applications in the Settings and Constraints Editor are captured in the deployment report generated in Deployment Designer. I'm currently writing topics that explain how to use these settings for deployment by scripting over the deployment report. Unfortunately, those topics aren't available for you to read yet. You can, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Name display in the Print Queue

  Hi, I got a problem when using Crystal 11 with .Net 2003. Normally, in Crystal 9, when the report spools to the print queue, I can see the report file name in the print queue when it is spooling to the printer.  I always pause the printer and wait for all reports to spool to the print queue and then print out on the next morning. However, in Crystall 11, when the report spools to the print queue, all report file name becomes "document1" and displays in the print queue.  Is it normal   Can I set something in my .Net code in order to display the report file name in the print queue instead Please advise.  Thanks! ...Show All
