• SQL Server migrate SQL 2000 system users

  I have installed a new SQL 2005 server and successfully moved a db from one to the other. The users from that db were also imported, but the system security was not.

  Hello. I am wondering exactly what kind of code is needed when I want to update an sql databse from a windows form. I have a form with two textfields, and a button called save.

• Visual Studio Team System Post build steps and TFS

  Hi all, I have a big broblem with TFS Here is the problem: I have a solution containing more than 200 C++ projects. Each of them has some post build steps that copies the output (and also configuration files such as XML) to a specific relative pathed directory. This works fine on desktop computers, but it does not work on TFS. What I observe is that TFS tries to move all output files to a central directory (Binaries\Mixed Platforms\Release for instance) at the same time the post build step is executed. The result is: Some files are not moved to the central output dir ( Binaries\Mixed Platforms\Release), (In case copy is ...Show All

I've:  - recorded such a test  - Added a datasource  - Added a context variable (sUsername)  - Set the Username page field to use the context variable But I cannot see how to set the context variable from the datasource The only thing that can be done in the context variable Properties window is set the value to static text.
