• Visual C++ Where's my VC++ 6.0 keyboard layout (Beta 2) ?

  Maybe I'm just not looking at the right place, but I can't find a way to go back to my old VC++ user shortcuts. Old habits die hard ;-) The only options I have are: - Brief - Emacs - VC++ 2 - VS 6 (not VC++ 6) Is the support for VC++ 6.0 shortcuts gone in Beta 2 If you are using the "C++ Developer" profile, you can select "Default" and this essentially is the same as selecting "VC6" since VC6 is now our default. If you are not using the "C++ Developer" profile, then you'll need to go through the "Import Settings" dialog, which, admittedly, is not an ideal experience. Thanks, Tarek ...Show All

• SQL Server Prediction with many attribute states

  I have a large dataset of around 3 million records with accounting data for 2 years. Attributes are transaction amount (cont. / predict), account, cost centre, project, month and a few others. I want to predict any future transaction amount for a certain combination. For example; what will the next salary cost transaction amount in cost centre 123 probably be I have tried Decision trees and Neural nets. But the predictions are not good enough even if there should be clear patterns in normal accounting data. I guess the problem is that many of the input attributes have many states.

• Visual Studio Team System Migrating v1.32 custom rules -> v1.35

  Hi, I've re-built our custom rules in VS2005, having changed the relevant references FxCopSdk and Microsoft.Cci to the new versions found in the relevant VS directory. However, having placed the new assembly in the Rules directory, no rules are visible in the VS2005 FxCop properties page. The assembly is listed, but no rules are. When I've seen this before it's because my rules XML has been malformed. Has anything changed An example rule XML entry we have is: <Rule TypeName="CaughtExceptionsMustBeLoggedWithErrorLog" Category="Comapny.Logging" CheckId="Blue0009"> <Name>Caught Exceptions ...Show All
