• Visual Studio Team System Team System Beta 2 VPC Expiration in 19 days

  Hi all, I downloaded the Team System Beta 2 VPC image (as a MSDN Universal customer). The Windows Server 2003 installation prompted me to activate, and so I did, over the phone. After activation, upon logging on, I am informed that I have only 19 days left in my evaluation of Windows. Specifically, the message dialog states: "The evaluation period for this copy of Windows will expire in 19 days. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp." This confused me, as the readme.txt on the image states: "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition (expires September 16, 2006)" A brief ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Media Center

  I have just bought a new laptop (Dell E5105) from QVC and it comes with the Windows Media Center OS. Am I going to have to replace the OS with XP Professional I am a web designer and VB Programmer and I need to have IIS and want NTFS. Does the Media Center OS support these two items Thanks, The base platform for Windows Media Center is, surprisingly enough, XP Pro not XP Home like you would think. It is a superset of XP Professional so you shouldn't experience any problems with installing either IIS or setting the file system to NTFS. ...Show All

• Visual C# if or #if(preprocessor)

  Hi everyone, I would like to ask that which of the following make the program fastest if or #if(preprocessor) Briefly, my question is that which one provide a program to be compiled or executed faster than the program done with other statement The main point of all of this is that if and #if have very different goals. The point of an "if" is to provide a way to dynamically change the execution path at runtime. Whereas the "#if" provides a way to create different versions of the same code-base. For example, you might have a demo version and a retail version. The retail version has all the normal feature ...Show All

• SQL Server SqlCeConnection guidelines - keep it open?

  What is exactly the recommended way of using a SqlCeConnection object in your application In all the examples I see (IBuySpyDelivery for example) it opens the connection object in the constructor and leaves it open most of the time until the class gets disposed. Is that the way to do it Or should you open and close the connection for each database action (insert/select/delete) you're doing on the local SQL Mobile database I'm a bit confused, but maybe I'm messing up the way of working on remote database servers with how it should be done on a local SQL Mobile db. Take a look at this blogpost. The co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New problem creating Team Project

  I've been working to simplify the authorizations needed to create a new Team Project. In the process, I reinstalled the Team Server from scratch (again), followed the installation guide for a single tier (to the letter), and then applied my authorization steps. I then attached to the Team Server from an account in the domain's 'TFS Project Creators' group and attempted to create a new project. It failed with the error log excerpt shown below, informing me that I was not a namespace administrator. Since I know that I've created projects previously without being a namespace adminstrator, I was pretty surprised. The project shows up i ...Show All

• Visual C# Default value on value-types

  I have implemented a value type that use a string value as value container. I need to initialize this string with a "" value insead of null. Is it possible to explicitly initialize a value type Is there a way to run a default parameterless constructor Thanks, Felice R. There is always a parameterless constructor for value types, and it only ever sets the fields to the default values for the type - you can't specify instance variable initializers within value types. The reason for this (I believe) is efficiency - if you create an array of a million instances of this value type, with the ...Show All
