• Visual Studio Team System Importing Bug Database to TFS Work Items

  Hi there, I am currently in the process of doing a proof of concept on TFS to prove that it will do what we need to do. Sourcecode I hgave succesfully imported from VSS and all is going well. I now need to try to import our Bugs database from a system called "Jira" http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/default.jsp clicked=footer into (I imagine) TFS work items. I cant find anything in the MSDN on how I would do this. All I can think of - is somehow dumping the database out into Excel and trying to import from that. Has anybody else tried to do this Thanks, Danny ...Show All

• Visual Basic Storing a form in a dll

  In my project I have four forms. Is there a way to store a form in a dll file instead of storing it in the exe file. I want to be able to call the form to show just like I would normally. If there are any links on how to do this in vb.net that would be great also. Thanks. Start a new project as an ActiveX DLL and put the forms into it. Compile it, then create a new project and include the DLL you used as a reference. You can then create a new object to represent the DLL, and call the forms inside it by using the .Show() method. Hope you find this useful! ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow markup definition compilation issue

  I composed a workflow starting with a SequentialWorkflowActivity and then adding a few activities to it. Seralized it into a markup.

After looking at a sample workflow markup definition that compiled in beta1, I added the 'Class' attribute in the root node that was missing in this defn. But then I get the following error: " The root activity type is invalid. A root activity must inherit from the CompositeActivity ...Show All

• SQL Server Mirroring with multiple databases

  Hi Everyone, Is it possible to have the following database mirroring scenario in SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition): A single database on ServerA (Principal) is mirrored on ServerB (Mirror). Also, there are additional databases on ServerB, within the same SQL instance, which do not have any mirroring configured. If the above setup is possible, I realize that there would be a perfromance hit on ServerB since it will be handling mirroring for a single database as well as any direct requests to the other databases on the server. Thanks in advance, Fauzia Hi Yes. As mirroring is done at DB level, having other op ...Show All

• Visual C# Why is the C# team allowing this to Happen? and Why do they close threads on the topic?

  Since PJ. van de Sande Closed the last thread I opened : Why is the C# team allowing this to happen I guess because he didn't click the link or he didn't like the topic.  I brought the link information here.....  So I ask again... Why is the C# team allowing this to happen   If he closes it again, please respond here From the Blog link: From Tom Archers blog Why so many examples in Visual Basic We find another thing for us to ignore from MS when trying to do what they do, and not what they say to do. This blog from Feb I wrote touches on the VB.NET & C# mess discussed in the threads ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom test types and ordered test

  Hi, Is it possible to add custom test types (implemented using the extensibility SDK) to an ordered test Currently our tests do not display in "Available tests" list. I'm not sure if this is happening because we are doing something incorrectly or this template is for Microsoft tests only. Many thanks Barb Hi Barbara, Yes it is possible to add your custom test type to an ordered test. Make sure you override a method called CanBeAggregated in your class that inherits from TestElement, and return true... this will indicate that your test element can be aggregated by other types of t ...Show All

• SQL Server Serious limitation in SQL server installation

  I am trying to install the server in a non-system drive.  I have to install the server in a diffferent folder like (E:) instead of the default C: due to existing partition that I have to continue to have (due to reasons that include security). Even though I selected this drive and every thing else (Program Files etc) the same, the install program still asks for over 2 GB on C drive. I checked each of the install options and found that most of this space is required by Books and client services which themselves need 1GB.  So I can do without them for now.  But then how do I get them installed   I can accomo ...Show All
