• Visual Studio Team System Licensing question

  Will team foundation require a seperate license for sql 2005 or will sql 2005 be included in team foundation We have 10 developers and are planning on getting team foundation server.

• Visual Studio Installing dotnetframeworksdk from VS 2005

  Hi All, I want to seperate dotnetframeworksdk form the VS 2005 Setup. Is it possible to do so.If Possible then which is the folder the msi is refering to I want to create a seperate package for this dotnetframework sdk. waiiting for your reply. Thanks Bhaskar The 32 bit SDK is authored inside the VS MSI so it is not possible to separate it. However, there is a 32 bit SDK redist on microsoft.com you can use. The 64 bit redists are outside of the VS MSI so those are seperatable. You can use those redists which are under the \wcu\sdk folder (on the last CD). ...Show All

• .NET Development DataSet Usage - Not saving to file

  Ok, my knowledge of the DataSet object is elementary at best, but I'll try to make some sense. I've added a MS Access .mdb file to my VC# project using the New Data Source wizard. Incase it's pertinent, here's the connection string (sorta): Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\db000.mdb;Persist Security Info=True;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=xxxxxxxxx Now, I want my program to count validate that there's at least one user account in the table 'Users' during startup. I'm checking this with [object].Users.Rows.Count , which works just fine. When the application inevidably discovers there's no accounts, I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office can I have a macro with VSTO?

  Is it possible in VSTO to have a macro with a keypress event and then have that call a function to execute code   For example, can I have a macro behind the 'w' key, and everytime it is pushed I execute code   I've been searching around online for a while but can't find anything.  I've looked at the VSTO book too and nothing is in there about it.  I found this link: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.office.developer.vba/browse_thread/thread/277183545f501d9f/d3fe55d7a78e1f62 lnk=st&q=creating+a+macro+in+vba+code+vsto&rnum=3&hl=en#d3fe55d7a78e1f62  but is there a way to do it without VBA &n ...Show All

• Visual C# FileInfo.LastWriteTime issue: some of them is one hour late

  Hi all: When I record a folder of files' LastModified time into database using FileInfo.LastWriteTime.I found some of the time is just one hour late than the files' LastModified Time.Does anybody can tell me the reason.Thanks 182960.jpg E:\print\masterprint\jpg 3141542 2004-04-14 01:35:36.000 184682.jpg E:\print\masterprint\jpg 4525606 2004-04-06 23:51:34.000 The second file' lastmodifiedtime is 4/6/2004 10:51pm Sounds like a timezone issue. If this is another machine then ensure that you are in the same timezone. NTFS stores times in UTC so if the server wrote the file at 8AM EST and you were ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Synchronizing Predecessor Info between VSTS and Project

  Since developers will probably not look at MS Project and will look at VSTS, we feel that predecessor information needs to be captured for Tasks, since tasks frequently have dependencies. Hence, we added a custom field in the process template to specify task predecessors. However, the predecessor information specified in VSTS does not get synchronized with MS Project. Also in VSTS, the predessor info contains VSTS-assigned work item IDs, whereas in Project, the predecessor info contains Project-assigned unique IDs. Is there a way to syncrhonize predecessor info between VSTS and Project Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 2.0: XmlDocument and Validation

  Could someone give me a basic outline or point me to an article with a sufficient code sample to get me up to speed on how to validate an XmlDocument I've read from file against a schema (.xsd) file that is also on disk It seems this has been reworked in the DOM for the CLR 2.0 (the XmlValidatingReader class is now obsolete...). Here is what I worked up based on the scanty help files available with VS 2005 Beta 2: XmlSchemaSet schemaSet = new XmlSchemaSet(); schemaSet.Add("<nameSpace>", "<path to schema file>"); XmlDocument sessionDocument = new XmlDocument(); sessionDocument.Schemas = schemaSet; sessionDocument.Load("< ...Show All

• .NET Development Change Application Pool Identity Programmatically

  Security doesn't allow developers to have IIS installed locally on their PCs, nor do they allow developers to be in the administrator group of the development web server. In order for them to debug, we have individual application pools running under the identity of the developer. (Thankfully IIS 6.0 has allowed this feature.) We wrote a small program that allows a user to recycle their application pool: public void RecycleAppPool( string appPoolLocation, string appPoolName) {    //Execute Code to recycle a user's app pool    DirectoryEntry w3svc = new DirectoryEntry(appPoolLocation + appPoolName); &n ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I include the .Net Framework in an Executable?

  Some of the users at my company will not have the .Net Framework installed on their PC's.  How do I include it in an executable with the Express Edition of Visual Studios Thanks, Matt There are 3rd party tools on the market that will *package* the framework with the executable, However to my knowledge, MS Does Not support any of those 3rd Party tools.  They do provide a download for the framework, that can be freely distributed: 1.1 - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyID=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en 2.0- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detail ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "HTTP 401 : Unauthorized" for web services in Beta 2

• Visual Studio Team System Customizing the Assigned To field on a Work Item Type
