• Visual Studio connections restrictions between shapes fail

  hi, i want to restrict the connections between two shapes. I did this by using public override bool CanCreateConnection( ShapeElement sourceShape, ShapeElement targetShape, ref string connectionWarning) for the accordant connector class. e.g there is ShapeA & ShapeB. The problem is, that i can connect ShapeA with ShapeB, if i move the mouse over the "text decoration" of ShapeB although this is forbidden by the conncetor restriction. The restriction works fine, when i move over the shape area of ShapeB and not the "text decoration" of ShapeB. How can i define restrictions for the whole shape, includin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error creating team project with RTM

  I am having trouble creating a team project with the RTM of TFS from a client machine.  I can create a team project from the server itself (logged in as myself), just not from my machine (also logged in as myself).  My machine is XP Pro and I have Windows Firewall disabled.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple requests clogs w3wp.exe

  I'm running a workflow application from a Web application. The workflow does not scale well. When simultanious requests are made the results are: - 1 user. Response time around 10 seconds. - 2 users. Response time around 15 seconds. - 3 users. The Workflow Runtime appears to get stuck in a loop and the w3wp.exe process hogs all server resources.

• SQL Server Backup of databases within SQL Server 2005 Express

  Hi there! Is there any replacement for the missing SQL Server Agent which could be configured to backup "all databases" and fix minor errors in databases, rebuild indexes, etc. Or let's better ask: is there any solution/tool out there to create and execute maintenance plans without the need of SQL Server Agent (It might be a simple tool that enumerates the DBs and executes some T-SQL statements on them) Thanks Jochen Automating Database maintenance in SQL 2005 Express Edition Part I Automating Database maintenance in SQL 2005 Express Edition Part II Part I deals with creating scheduled tasks and using SQL ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Device Emulator Connectivity with Virtual Network Driver to Web Server on Windows Vista CTP 1205 (Build 5270) Fails

  Hi, I'm running Visual Studio 2005 RTM Team Suite on a Windows Vista CTP 1205 (Build 5270). Everything works ok for managed device application development. I can connect to the pocket pc device emulator se and deploy the CF 2.0 and my apps. My app uses a web service that runs on the IIS 7.0 Web Server of Vista. The web server works fine for desktop apps but when I try to request the WSDL of the web service from within the pocket internet explorer the device emulator can't connect to the host OS's web server. My gues is that the reason for this is that I can't get the virtual network driver working on Vista. I have installed the virtua ...Show All

  Hi, I have a database in MSACCESS 2003 that is 680MB (after compacting) and contains 41 tables. I tried to import these tables to SQL Server 2005 (express edition) using the :"upsizing wizard" provided in MSACCESS.
