• Visual Studio Team System Relative paths for Deployment Items

  When trying to configure Deployment items for a Run Configuration it recognizes relative paths great as long as these paths are under the solution root. If those paths are outside the solution root then the relative path breaks. Why can we not use a path definition such as: "<Solution Directory>\..\Xml Files" If you put a path like "C:\Development\Product X\MySolution\..\XmlFiles" into Windows Explorer it correctly changes it to "C:\Development\Product X\Xml Files". Thanks. You can use relative paths on the attributes in source code, but it doesn't work for The runconfig options. If you could file ...Show All

• SQL Server SSMS Login failure when trying to connect to SQL 2000 server using SQL authentication

  Hello all, Have a strange problem trying to get SQL Server Management Studio to connect to several SQL 2000 servers, all running with SQL Authentication. From SSMS, if I enter the server name, choose SQL Authentication and enter the username and password, the login fails with "Login failed for user 'validuser'. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)".

Successful logins also contain the text "Connection: Non-Trusted". Using Enterprise Manager with the same server, username ...Show All

• SQL Server Dumb questions on attribute relationships and multiple hierachy relationships

    Hi, This is a couple of general questions about how to create robust attribute hierarchies. I'm sure the answera are somewhere on the MS web sites, but I can't find it. 1) How precisely does the inclusion of attribute relationships affect the design of aggregations and the resulting speed I'm led to believe that defining the attribute relationships will effectively force AS to use these hierarchies when creating aggregations, and so putting them in improves the speed. This seems to be the case - any known best practices 2) What do all the properties such as "Fully Optimised" for attributes mean 3) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Organizing Projects into Products or Customers or Releases?

  Hi! We're trying to figure out how to best organize our VSTS projects. We have 5 different product all sharing the same core. We have core releases every 3 month, and a product release about every 6 month.The core is developed together with the product, so before the start of a new core release, the "core" functionality from all released product are merged into the Core. In addition a product are usually sold together with some customitation. This is done through developing some "add-on" modules to the product. So these are the different approches we are thinking of: One project per product. One project for ...Show All

• Visual C++ CSocket derived class throws exception on call to Create()

  I have a class (CArchSockListener) which is derived from CSocket. I'm using C++ in Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite, (release version, not beta). When my class was used directly from a dialog based app, I had no touble. I wanted to move the comms to a separate thread, so I derived a new thread class (CCommsThread) from CWinThread, and constructed my CSocket derived class in there using this code in CCommsThread::Run()... // Start the archive throughput listener m_pArchSockListener = new CArchSockListener (); // 1 m_pArchSockListener -> m_pParent = this ; // 2 m_pArchSockListener -> Create ( 61000 ); ...Show All

• Visual Basic Any way to trim all these IF statements?

  Hi, I'm a VB6 hobby programmer and I'm just getting in to VB2005. I installed the VB Express ed. last night. I'm writing a simple game and have run into a coding issue. I have 15 buttons on a form. As part of the game, you click the buttons to essentially move them around. After each click, I run a subroutine to check if the user has "won" the game. In order to check for a win condition, I check to make sure each of the 15 buttons are in the right location on the form. This has caused me to have an "if statement" mess of code. The way I wrote it is like this: Private Sub CheckWin() If ESX = 114 And ESY = 139 Then   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Blue Screen when installing VS.NET 2005 Pro

• Smart Device Development Do any communication libraries exsist in the CF?

  Does any of the .NET TCP/IP classes exsist in the .NET Compact Framework (1 or 2) I want to mess around with some NNTP stuff (Where I was using a regular C# class for reference) and it uses these. Are there any networking protocals in the CF Thanks! Easiest is to add a reference to all the netcf assemblies and then let intellisense be your guide. I would not trust the documentation at this beta stage but it will have good clues (msdn library at msdn2). Also look at the Object Browser which in VS2005 has additional filtering.
