  I am using Beta 3 Refresh. I tried using the TFSDeleteProject utility to delete permanently a team project but it does not work.

• Visual Studio Team System Snippet manager missing

  Anyone know where code snippet manager is hidden in the VS 2005 team suite edition (trial). It should be under tools but I can't see it anywhere under there.

You can add the command back by going into Tools/Customize, Click on the Commands Tab, select the Tools Menu, and drag the Code Snippets Manager onto any commandbar that you like.

• SQL Server How do you backup a database using sql server 2005 express???

  I know there isn't a backup feature but I was wondering if there was a way to back up a database Thanks!!! Hi, You're not quite right here, SQL Express fully supports backing up a database. What it does not have is SQL Agent, which allows you to schedule backups and the Mataintenance Plan wizard which allows you to create a plan to perform a number of tasks, including backup. You can backup your database in two ways: Use Management Studio Express (available separately or as part of Express advanced from this download page) which has the Backup option on the right click menu for each datab ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem: How to draw text into bitmap?

  Hi, I need to draw text into the bitmap. Resulting text should be "smooth" (antialiased) and international scripts should be handled properly. In addition, it should be fast. You might think, "That is simple, isn't it " Well, it is not! There are at least two ways to do it: 1. Graphics.DrawString and 2. TextRenderer.DrawText. Problem is that I cannot reach my targets with these two guys (who would say, huh ). Graphics.DrawString is too SLOW, and it is not handling complex scripts properly they say. On the other hand, rendering quality is ok, and it is not depending on system-wide tex ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2003 Invisibly steps through dissassembly

  In VS2003, the debugger will stay on the same line for multiple presses of the F10 key, in a pattern consistent with the underliying dissaembly. Toggling the disassembly to visible, the current line moves as would be expected through the disassembly, with I believe the same number of lines/breaks that it takes to go through the code with disassembly toggled off. Is there a way to turn off this behavior I also have VS2005 installed. Thanks. Sounds like you have Step By Instruction turned on somehow. Try the following: Open the Command Window Type >Debug.StepByLine and <enter> N ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combining ClickOnce and MSI Installer

  Hi, I have been surprised by the gap there is between ClickOnce and MSI. And I need to solve this.
