• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Client - "Error in the application" when connecting.

  Have installed TFC on an XP Pro machine. Machine does not have VSTS or any VS2k5 components installed aside from TFC, .NET 2.0 and anything else TFC requires to operate. Machine is a member of the AD domain that also contains the TFS (MSVS-TFS), however the user usually logged into that machine is not a member of the domain. Somewhat against my expectations, logged in as this user, I can fire up TFC and access TFS just fine. I don't understand why, because this user is unknown to both AD and TFS, but we'll leave that aside for now. I log in as a domain user, who also happens to have God-like permissions in TFS. We can do ANYTHING with this u ...Show All

• Visual Basic Possible to create a Dll in the express addition?

  Hi all   is it possible to create a dll using the express version if yes is there any good example to look at   Regards Soon Lee Hi, Yes it is possible to create a DLL using the Express Edition.

• SQL Server Why is sort so slow?

  I set up a sample sort data flow that is attempting to sort 11M records totalling about 3GB. It ran for four hours and then I killed it. How can it be so terrible Am I missing some hidden tuning parameter DIdi you try to put an index on the sort column (the best would be a clustered index though this one is physically order by design), that should be helpful.

• Architecture Storing parent reference vs ID in business objects

  Our development team is discussing the pros and cons of storing hierarchical information in business classes. Let's use a banking system as an example. Is there any cons to storing a reference to the parent object in child objects (for example, storing a reference to the account in each transaction) Now, we don't want to make it mandatory. For example, when getting a specific transaction based on some ID value, the Account property that references to the account this transaction is in will be set to null. If we want to get that account, we can call some business method on the Transaction object. Alternatively, if I want to get a specific ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF output not conducive to efficient use from scripting

  Our builds are heavily scripted.  TF seems to output extraneous information which causes us to have to do unnecessary string parsing.  For instance, in over SCM tools usually there is a very easy way to get just the items in a directory that are under version control.  But in TFVC, if the best I can do is this: tf dir C:\proj\somedir but then I get this output to deal with: -------------- $/Proj/somedir foo.cs bar.cs baz.cs 3 item(s) -------------- So I have to lop off one line from the beginning and 2 lines from the end.  And sometimes it is 3 lines from the end because of an occasional extr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot rename folders in Source Control

  I am using VS Team Server 2005. It installed fine on a 2003 Standard Server box. I created a workspace and mapped it to a local directory on my development machine (XP SP2) called c:\imaxwell projects. When I open Source Control Explorer and I click on the new folder button. Nothing appears to happen. But if I shut down Visual Studio and reopen it, I can see the new folder. Unfortunately, the rename option is grayed out. What I want to do is place projects under sub directories rather than in the root of the source safe project. For example, I want to place my Team Project in $/Applications/PhotoManager. Is there a way to do this & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. I really like the product and have convinced my manager we should move to it but I can't really do that in good faith if the team is going to lock up frequently. Cheers, Clint Well I w ...Show All
