• Visual Studio Team System VSS and Team Server

  It seems that I can't have some VS projects (existing ones) use VSS and others (new ones) use TFS without continually changing the configured source control plug-in. Why can't this be configured per solution   It looks like I'm pretty much forced to migrate everything or nothing, which is totally crazy. OK, I did not see anything unusual with the solution or project files. It would be worth looking at a ...Show All

• SQL Server Removing Columns from a data flow

  Seems obvious but I can't see how. How would I remove columns from a data flow so that columns which have been used earlier but are not needed for insert/update are taken out of the flow. I'm asking because the data ends up in a update statement and the flow has got so big it is unreadable.

How can I avoid writing the signature header characters Thanks. Use a Stre ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System cluster server support for DT?

  subject says it all, I think.. Is there (currently or planned) cluster server support for the DT server   I want to say the data tier supports clustering, because that tier would just be SQL Server 2005.  So you should be able to use clustering like you always do.  I believe you have to have SQL Server 2005 Standard or higher. Rob Caron links to the Team System Licensing White Paper which also discusses this: http://blogs. ...Show All

But in the meantime, you probably want to create your own file extension and your own Language Service that owns that file extension - then delegate to the XML editor's coloriz ...Show All
