• Visual Studio Team System Team build - 'enlistment is empty'

  I have two team projects defined, and I've previously created a team build for one of them. Now, when I try to create a new team build in either team project I get a diaglog that says "Enlistment is empty.  The workspace " server " does not have any working folder mappings (where server is replaced with the name of my TFS server). One oddity that I note - in the source controll explorer, the "workspace" is named the same as the client machine, while the Team Build error dialog is griping about a workspace named the same as the TFS app-tier machine.  What's a 'workspace' in this context   Where are they defined   How can I ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to detect a clicked link with WebBrowser

  Using the webBrowser component to host a web page inside a form, is it possible to detect when a user clicks a certain link or button For instance... detecting when the user clicks the ACCEPT button/Link on web page instead of the REJECT button. Thanks. I can tell you where to begin on this. Go to a known page and view it. Write a uftp-8 dump routine and dump the webBrowser's Document stream and see if there is anything recognizable in that file. If there is you can explore further and you may also want to check a layer called the Inner Html layer. In order to do this read up on the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Connecting to Foundation Server across domains

  So I have Foundation Server installed on a machine in our lab environment and I am trying to connect to it from a VPC install on my laptop.  The situation is that the Lab is on its own domain (lab.org) and the laptop I am connecting from is on the company domain. I have a user set up in the lab and added to administrators in TFS.  Yesterday I was able to connect from VSTS on the VPC by typing in the ip adress of the TFS box.  It challenged me for credentials and after I entered the lab user name and password, it connected just fine and worked as expected.  Today when I try to connect to tthe TFS it says it can not connect ...Show All

• SQL Server Scripting Roles and role rights

  Is it possible to script roles and their detailed dimension/cube rights easily Why I ask is that In converting cubes from 2000 to 2005, some dimensions have been a pain to port, and removing/adding them to a cube results in having to re-create the cube security (not dimension security). Reverse engineering the roles to a script only creates a command to add the role, not to add the role to the cubes. What would be nice would be a way to reverse engineer all the components of a role, the role itself and the cube/dimension based security rights, and to be able to run that script as needed. Permissions for specific cube/dimension ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Run Hangs when Redirecting Console Output on a Generic Test and the content Size goes beyond 9KB

  Is there any issue on the amount of information that can be redirected from the Standard Console when running a Generic test For some reason if the size (content being redirected to the console) goes beyond 9KB, the Test Run just hangs without giving any error information at all. It just sits there and does nothing. Is this a known issue or is there any setting that we need to configure for increasing the amount of information thats being redirected from the Standard console and merged as part of the Test Result. Thanks, Krishna Hi Krishna, This is a known problem, which we fixed recently. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 2005 Express and SQL Server 2000

  I'm trying to add a connection to an existing SQL Server 2000 database, but I can't quite figure out how.  It seems the only options are for SQL 2005 and Access. Do I have to reconfigure VBE to be able to access SQL Server 2000   Or am I missing something incredibly obvious I'd read several posts, however I didn't search for "local data" (since I was more interested in searching for SQL 2000).  What was I thinking Thanks for clarifying. ...Show All

Which language to use really depends on your previous experience in programming and on wh ...Show All

• Visual Basic Strange Deployment Problem.

  Hi Everyone, I have a strange problem while deploying a VB2005 solution. I use ClickOnce to create a deployment "package" which installs fine on any machine. So here's the problem: The app runs okay on my development PC (the computer with VS2005 standard installed on), but when I install and run it on a different machine, the app acts strange. At first it works fine, but when I try to do something, it throws away an "Unhandled excpetion" error: "Parameter is not valid". Any ideas on how to debug this If the application wouldn't run at all, this would make sense, but it compil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Migrating TFS workspace from TFS Server A to TFS Server B, is this possible ??

  Hi, I’m trying to migrate a complete TFS Workspace hosting in a small TFS Server to a bigger environment. I can unbind the complete solution and add the solution to the new TFS Server, but I want to keep the history, build tests, etc. Is there any way to do this Thanks from Spain Bruno Capuano Blog: http://www.elbruno.com Unfortunately, we don't have a partial migration tool. You have to restore the entire database on top of the "bigger" server, which would erase anything it already has.  There's work being done to enable migration on the Team Project level, but I'm not sure of the ETA. ...Show All
