• Visual Studio Team System Customizing work items - Remaining/Completed work

  Hi, I am going to try to customize the Task work item in the MSF for Agile process template. My plan was to change the 'Remaining work' and 'Completed work' into not having NumberFormat="WholeNumbers", since we would like to have half hours and quarters in the field. My question is: will I shoot myself in the foot Is the database defined to have a Int32 in that field Is there any other problem that may arise Regards, Thomas L The task type defines remaining work and completed work as doubles in Beta 3 Refresh and the RC build. refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Scheduling.RemainingWork" type=" ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Object-oriented network database

  Hi, All! I am Ukrainian scientific researcher and developer. I am developing object-oriented network knowledge database which is based on object-oriented database engine. I already implemented .NET 1.1 support. It's very cool that MS devolops declarative object query language for C#. I hope I'll be able to integrate LINQ features into my engine. Now I have to use three fields to store object soft pointers. One for object handle; One for wrapper instance to pin the object instance in memory; and One for instance of user object. I want to hide implementation details from end user. To make this I need some kin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Button will not fire in 2003

  I have an asp.net application that I just moved to Windows 2003.  My buttons will not fire on forms that have a Validation object on them.  They work fine if I remove the Validation object.  The Validation appears to be working correctly it's just that the button will not fire after the validation has happened.

• Windows Forms VS 2003 and framework2.0

  Hi, How can I point VS2003 to framework 2.0 I have both 1.1 and 2.0 installed on my development machine and for some reason I cant install VS2005. How can I point VS 2003 to 2.0 framework. In this scenarion, will I be able use new features of 2.0 such as datagridview, enhancements in ADO.net and other new features Thanks, I am very sorry but you are not going to be able to get Visual Studio 2003 to target the 2.0 Framework without a great deal of work as VS is very tightly tied to it’s associated Framework version. If you really need to use the 2.0 Framework for development you may want to ...Show All

• SQL Server Intergation Services Templates for Visual Studio 2005

  We are setting up developer machines with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL SERVER 2005 Client tools. My question is how do I get the templates for Integration Services into Visual Studio 2005 without installing BIDS You cannot do this. The Visual Studio IDE hosts packages, one of which is the SSIS designer for example. The only way to install that package is to install the Workstation components for SSIS from SQL Server Setup. If you do not already have the VS IDE it is included as part of this setup. If you installed SQL first, then would you expect to be able to install the C# or VB package without running the full Visual Studio setup T ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSBuild in VS 2005 Release Candidate

  I'm seeing a fairly significant speed-up in builds with RC1 bits over the July CTP bits.  My build went from about 1:40 (hh:mm) down to about 1:09.  I don't know if this is the C++ compiler (probably since we use it a lot) or MSBuild or both.  Either way, I'm a happy camper. OK in checking over our build logs for the Aug CTP the build time was 1:14, so that is 5 minutes improvement over 74 minutes which is about a 6.8% improvement.  Not bad.  It seems like performance has been steadily heading in the right direction.  :-) ...Show All

• .NET Development Using Ifilters to parse/index text from PDFs in C#

  Hi.  I've found code for using the free IFilter to parse text out of PDFs for the purpose of indexing it for my search application.  It is working fine for files on the file system.  What I really need it to do though, is to parse from a Stream.  I am indexing content in a database, and some of this contain contains pdf files. I found the BindIFilterFromStream method call which seemed like it should work fine, but I am not finding the correct way to call this method from my C# class.  I think it has something to do with the first parameter being of type UCOMIStream.  I was passing a stream object, like so: &n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Performance Profiler - OutOfMemoryException

  When attempting to profile our application (consists of console application and several class libraries - all C#), I get an OutOfMemoryException thrown almost immediately upon startup. The application runs just fine outside the profiler (standalone or in the debugger). Normal memory usage of the process typically sits in the mid-20MB range, so nothing out of the ordinary going on... Any thoughts as to what might cause this -Adam Adam, What mode of the profiler are you using Sampling or instrumentation Also, if you could give me a little more information about your current setup and about what ...Show All
