• Visual Studio Team System Daily Builds?

  This may be obvious to you but it has baffled us for some time: Team Foundation users often talk about daily builds. When I presented this idea to our software team they asked "Why" Our code doesn't change enough to warrant a daily build, they said. Maybe a weekly or monthly build they said.  What  don't we undertsand here   Bill If you do daily builds you know every day that your current code can be build and basic functionality is not broken (assuming you run build verification or smoke tests, too). Even if you change the code not very often, you're still be able to detect a break ...Show All

• SQL Server Data Looking for a Good Home - Where Might It Be?

  Been coding mainframes 25 years; just started learning this platform.  Fish out of water. Have 2005 VWebDeveloper Express and 2005 SQL Betas.  I have a million bytes of data to test my asp.net app locally.  100 columns, 200 rows and 6 items within each row.  The data grows by 1 row per day; app. 5000 bytes. MSDN tutorials that come with VWD Express talk about a "Northwind SQL Server" being required to, at least, follow the tutorials. This is very unclear. Q. What is Northwind   And is it in anyway relevant to testing a VWD Express app Q. What are you folks using for a server to test your apps loc ...Show All

• Visual Basic Access Form in Code from a User Control

  I have created a UserControl1 that inherits from the Visual Basic.Net 2005 TextBox Control. A Windows Application Project is then created (named WindowsApplication1) and the UserControl1 is dragged onto Form1 of WindowsApplication1. Question: In the code of User Control how is Form1 accessed In particular, it is desired to place some graphics on Form1 from code in UserControl1. Thanks for any response...

• Smart Device Development XPath problem

  Hi, I'm creating an application that uses XML document. I need to provide "Find" functionality on my XML file and XPath is not available on compact framework. Can anybody suggest an alternative to XPath for searching specific nodes in XML files in compact framework Thanks. Alex, When I call "Add" method of XPathCollection class, it takes about 2-3 seconds to execute only "Add" statement line.

• .NET Development creating Sockets

  Hi buddies, I wonder how easy to create a socket with out connecting to RemoteEndPoint in sockets My idea is to create a “dummy” socket of an existing socket. I wrote code like, System.Net.IPAddress ConnServerIP = IPAddress.Parse(s_myLinOldIP.Substring(0,s_myLinOldIP.IndexOf(":"))); int listenPort = int.Parse(s_myLinOldIP.Substring(s_myLinOldIP.IndexOf(":")+1,(s_myLinOldIP.Length - s_myLinOldIP.IndexOf(":"))-1)); Socket sk = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,SocketType.Stream,ProtocolType.Tcp); IPEn ...Show All

• Visual C++ Running a very simple Win32 app on a comp without VC++ 2005 Express

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deploying add-in for Office XP and 2003

  I’ve built a managed code add-in with a COM shim that runs in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. During development, I’ve compiled against the Office XP PIA’s and tested against Office XP. I’ve also compiled against the Office 2003 PIA’s and tested against Office 2003. Everything works fine.   I understand the differences in deploying the two versions of the PIA’s. I’ve built an installer that detects the version of Office that is installed and then installs the correct PIA’s. This works fine as well.   My question is this. Is it possible to deploy a single version of my add-in and shim that will work correctly in both the Of ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL CE & @@IDENTITY

  If I perform an insert from my Vb.NET and then user select @@IDENTITY to return the identity, the query returns DBNull, even though the row has been inserted and an indentity created.

If I perform the insert from my Vb.Net app, and then go to query analyser and select @@INDENTITY then it returns DBNull. Can anybody explain why I don't get the idendtity when the insert is performed from vb.net The code for insert looks like...

• SQL Server Calc Measure Immediate Viewing

  This is probably obvious, but.... In MSAS 2000, I could immediately view the new calc measure in Analysis Manager without rebuilding the cube. Is this still possible in SSAS 2005 Can you list the steps Yes you can using the new MDX debugger. When in BIDS, in the caluclaiton tab, create your calculated member and then select the Debug menu and start debuggging. The cube browser will appear just beneath the calculaiton script. You can not only step by step through your various caluclaiton, but you can also change them and see the impact immediately. It is a full fledge VS debugger for MDX... ...Show All

• SQL Server Issue with SqlUserDefinedAggregate

  I am using the code below but I am getting a "zero" result for dbo.AggredIssue('Test') user defined aggregate everytime that the query executes parallel processing and uses the "Merge" method. It seems that my private variable " private List < string > myList" gets nullified everytime it goes through the "Merge". I saw other people reporting the same issue in other forums, but nobody was able to provide a solution or explanation. See below a simplified version of my code (posted just after the queries) that replicates the issue.   The query below works because it does't process the query in parallel. SELEC ...Show All
