• Visual Studio Team System Displaying line numbers in unit test failure results

  Hi, I'm new to unit testing and have been experimenting with it over the last few days. I have been writing my tests in the test class generated by VS. I'm finding that it is easier to put multiple Assert statements into each test method (to fully test everything). Then, when one of my test methods fail I get a call stack but it doesn't show any line numbers. So I can't tell which assert statement caused the problem - I would prefer the stack to show line numbers rather than have to fill out the message parameter of the Assert statement (I'm lazy). My understanding of line numbers is that the pdb files need to be available for line numbers t ...Show All

• 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 ). I think I also configured the users like mentioned in the install guide (TFSInstall-v50926.chm - Manag ...Show All

• SQL Server Error Message "Key Sequence columns are not supported at the case level"

  Hi group, I was trying to build a sequence clustering model in MSAS. I could deploy the model. Then while building the model, I end up getting an error with message "Key Sequence columns are not supported at the case level". Can some one tell me what it means and how i can avoid it Thanks in advance to any kind of help here. The Microsoft_Sequence_Clustering algorithm requires the sequence information to be modeled as a nested table so you can only have a nested table column with Content=Key Sequence (right-click on the column in the Mining Structure tab and look at the Properties pane).

• .NET Development Running ASP.NET as NetworkService

  Hi, I'm writing a ASP.NET Web Service that needs to access an external database (which uses Windows Authentication). However, ASP.NET runs as ASPNET account (I'm using .net 2.0 on Windows XP, IIS 5.1) and the server refuses to accept that. Running ASP.NET as "SYSTEM" works, but I'd rather not do that. Accessing the database through non-web-based means (i.e. Windows apps) works without any problems, the authentication runs into trouble only when I create Web Apps or Web Services. The machine.config file has this entry in it : <processModel autoConfig="true"/> I tried putting in <processModel userName="NT Authority\NetworkServic ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Partitioned Views in SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition

  We currently use partitioned views (over horizontally partitioned tables) in SQL Server 2000. The tables are partitioned by month. This works extremely well for our needs. In evaluating SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition, we are finding some issues trying to get this to work properly. A select against the view results in a table scan. Does anyone know if partitioned views have any issues in 2005 SE We are not doing anything different in 2005 SE than we currently do in 2000 SE.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Uninstall won't work

  I'm having problems with my current installation of VB 2005 Express Beta 2 and want to uninstall/reinstall, but can't. if i try to uninstall, i get a popup saying "Setup is unable to determine a valid ordering for the installation. See the error log for further details." Where do i find the error log, and what can it tell me Anyone seen this before I managed to find a cleanup utility from MS that worked. i think it may have been that tool that ended up working. if it's the visual studio 2005 cleanup tool, then that's the one. i'd run it to check, but i don't want to clean up my install again... it's useable ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected - CLR unable to switch contexts

  I'm using VS Express and have a Windows form that uses the My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectories to get a list of files in a directory and then using the My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile to copy the files in the directory to a new location. As each file is copied I'm updating a ListBox (adding an item). After about 2-3 files the ListBox is no longer updated (even tried Refreshing the ListBox and/or Form) and if there are very many files I get the ContextSwitchDeadlock error but I can hit continue and the process will finish. Only after all of the files are copied and the process is complete does the ListBox show all of the added items. How ca ...Show All
