• Visual Studio Team System Publishing to TFS improperly changes Saved property of Project file. Help!

  How can I trick Project to think an enterprise project file has not changed -Or- Publish to Team Foundation Server without alterting the Saved property of the Project file I have a business need to publish an enterprise project plan to both Project Server 2003 AND to Team Foundation Server.(TFS) I have solved most of the problems but one.

Here's my problem:  Publishing to TFS somehow sets the project "Saved" property to false (indicating that the file has changed since  ...Show All

• Visual C# Is there a way to exclude some codes being executed when switching to design view?

  In VS2005 C#, is there a way to exclude some of the codes being executed while loading the user control in design view. For example, I have a user control in which some of the members will be initialized at runtime only. When I add this user control in a form, I am getting the error that reports the construction of the object failed. You could wrap the initialization in a check to the DesignMode property: if (DesignMode) { // Do initialization } Note, however, that this check won't work in the constructor, to work around this, use the following instead: if (LicenseManager.Usag ...Show All

• SQL Server How to capture the entire DML statement in a DML trigger?

  Hi, In Yukon, is it possible to capture the entire DML statement with the parameter values that triggered the DML trigger inside the trigger body Basically trying to see the equivalent as the eventdata() in a DDL trigger, that provides the CommandText() Rgds SMO cannot be used within CLR trigger right now. It is not supported. Also, using profiler to do these type of actions from trigger code is not ideal. Triggers should usually be very light weight and efficient. The more complex logic that you put inside your trigger the harder it is in terms of performance, development and management. Also, I am not sure how useful it will be to k ...Show All

• .NET Development Table Adapter and multi-user environment

  I am writing my first .NET application after years of using VB 6.0. As I understand it, the new table Adapter takes a "snapshot" or "cache" of the records in the table, until you TableAdapter.Update. Is this OK in a multi user environment I am writing an inventory program. I want to avoid the following problem... POS computer A sells an item, so my program changes it's quantity from 12 to 11. Two minutes later POS computer B sells one of that same item. It's Table Adapter's cache or snapshot may still think there are 12 of that item, and it would do the same calculation, and it would appear like there were 11 of th ...Show All

• Visual J# Help: how can I avoid the System.OutOfMemoryException?

  Dear All, A System.OutOfMemoryException always occurs in my program when the input data size becomes larger. Basically my program uses a recursive method to travel all paths in a graph. For example, the graph's configuration looks like this: three nodes A, B, and C. There is one edge between B and C, and the only thing that changes is the number of edges between A and B. When there are 2000 edges between A and B, my program works fine. But if I increase the number of edges to 3000 or more, the exception occurs. I suspect most memory is consumed by this recursive method. Yet, memory should be released whenever such a method returns. Is ...Show All
