• SQL Server Problem with ODBC

  After some combination of installing Visual Studio Team Architect and/or SQL 2005 Online books and tools, I can no longer link to tables in a SQL server from Access.  The ODBC datasources window will not come up.  Anyone heard of this   Where can I ask this question to get some help Thanx, I haven't heard of this. Yuk! Can you open ODBCAD32.exe from either your control panel 'ODBC Data Sources' icon or by accessing it directly from your system32 folder Perhaps somehow the path to your system32 folder has been removed, so your computer can no longer 'see' that directory. If so, you should check your path in the the 'e ...Show All

• Visual C# Creating Nightly Build Problems

  I'm trying to create a nightly build that is automated via a cmd script. I'm calling the following command to build my solution: devenv /build debug "solution.sln" /out "output.txt" Now the problem I'm having is that I want to be able to somehow take the output of the build process and see if it succeeded/failed and if it failed what went wrong. For some unknown reason though, the /out command line switch doesn't actually seem to produce any output. I've intentionally added errors to my solution so that it should not compile, yet when I run the above command, it executes without producing any output at all. I've also trie ...Show All

• Visual C# try within try

  Hi, if we have a try block within a try block, does it make sense to just throw the exception back to the outer catch when the inner catch is doing nothing The inner catch should catch only types of exception for which it can 'do something'. OTherwise, the exception should not be caught at all. ...Show All

• SQL Server The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. - ReportService2005.asmx

  I have a report server set up to use SSL and Basic authentication. I am trying to create an application that uses the ReportService2005 web service. I can add the web reference ok, but when I try to use it to list reports, I get the "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized." error. What steps do I need to take to get the authentication to work correctly I have kerberos configured for the server, although I don't think that would matter here. pjp By default, the proxy generated by VS does not pass through NT credentials. You can fix this by setting the UseDefaultCredentials prop ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System A Source control question for the product group

  Please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that TFS source control is designed for developers only. In a enterprise setting, there are also a lot of non-developers that need to save their work such as word docs, excel work sheets, etc in a source control. The may not be part a "team" and they really don't care about work items, process guidance, etc. How would these folks use the source control or the TFS source control is a wrong choice for them and they should use something else. Thanks! One option you should explore before adding non-developer files to TFS source control is whether the file format ...Show All

• Visual Studio Will VS 2005 coexist with VS 2003?

• .NET Development Thread.Abort fixed for finally blocks?

  In .NET Framework 1.0 & 1.1, calling Thread.Abort on another thread could abort that thread while executing the "finally" part of a try/catch/finally block. That was rather nasty because it could lead to criticial resources not being released by the aborted thread. Now I see in the July CTP docs that this situation is documented as a possibility for 1.0 & 1.1 only. May be assume that this has been fixed in 2.0, and that all finally blocks will properly execute in the aborted thread, no matter when the ThreadAbortException happens Another question: ThreadAbortException can still happen in a catch block and abort the current exception ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Service calls a Service an fails

  Hi. I have a client that calls a service that then calls another service and fails. I get an: Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.UnknownFaultException: There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:4242/Alba/AdminService/ that could accept the message.  This could be caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action, among other things. If i call the second service directly by a client or call it in the Main() part of the first service things work fine. So i’m pretty sure the config is fine. Passing through the call to the second service looks like: public void createNewUser( string name, string pwd){ using ( Admin ...Show All
