• Visual Studio Team System How To: Connect to 2 different TFS Servers

  I have two clients using TFS. I can connect and code to both via VPN. Can I setup so that I can have both available or is VS tied to a single server at a time If only one, what is the best way to work around this Thanks, Jeff Hi Jeff, You can connect to only one TFS per VS session. One of the workaround is to start two VS sessions and connect to different TFS in each section. This way you will be able to work with both TFS side by side. Thanks, Mohammad ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting Branches

  When you have a main source code line and create a branch off of it, if you delete the branch from source control, it still appears in the property window.  If you create another branch with the same name, VSTS starts creating merge issues with "prior versions". Is there a way to "correctly" delete a branch if no longer needed as a child branch (such as a developer leaves the company) OR is VSTS supposed to not let you delete a branch once it's created.  If a branch is never really deleted, why can you create a new branch with the same name... You will see the multiple branches in the Properties...Branches tab in the Source C ...Show All

• Visual C++ detect program exit, closesocket, using atexit()?

  In a Visual C++ .NET 2003 console application: int _tmain( int argc, TCHAR* argv[], TCHAR* envp[]) {    atexit(exit_handler);    // open some sockets here    while (1)    {       // handle the socket stuff here    }    // close the sockets here } static void exit_handler( void) {    // try to close the sockets } When I close the console window with 'X', the exit_hander runs, but can not close the socket because the main thread 'owns' the socket.

• Visual C++ create C++ DLL to be used by C# ?

  I want to write a native C++ function that I can later access from C#. Please keep in mind I do not have much experience developing on windows, (mostly unix) and that my only windows compiler is VS2005. I tried creating a MFC DLL. I am able to access this from a C++ .net program, but not from a C# program using P/Invoke. It seems that a plain MFC DLL is not "good enough" for use with DllImport. Is this correct It seems that I have two options: 1) compile the C++ function as a COM DLL (not sure how to do this from VS2005 - I don't see an option for that). I see an option for an ActiveX DLL...I hope I don't need to do tha ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie question, moving data between sql server 2000 and 2005

  Hi, I'm a newbie on SSIS and am trying to grasp my way through this. I am trying to copy data from a Sql Server 2000 database to a simplified table in Sql Server 2005 database. What I want is to move the data to a staging table, then drop the main table and rename the staging table to the main table, to minimize the down-time of the data. I can't get the workflow to work, because the staging table has to exist when I run the package. I thought I could use an "Execute SQL" task to generate the table before I would run the task, but that doesn't work. Am I going about this the wrong way Is there an optimal solution ...Show All
