• Visual Studio Team System How to disable "resolve" in work item check in policy

  I'd like to make it so my team can only associate, rather than resolve, work items related to a checkin.  I just spent all morning reopening work items.  I saw this done at a presentation, but the presenter made it seem like this was an easy-to-find setting, and it isn't. You can edit check-in policies if you have the AdminProjectRights permission. For more information, see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms242918(en-US,VS.80).aspx . Hope this helps.

  Project builds fine, but I get this error as soon as I run: "Assembly 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\sdemyon\\Desktop\\Max\\IMax.Max.BaseTier\\obj\\Debug\\BaseTier.dll' doesn't contain any UserControl types." Program runs fine when the exe is run from the bin/release folders, but not from within the IDE. Any Ideas Thanks, Scott Thanks a lot for the solution.

• SQL Server How to know the code in Query Analyser

  My Program wants to know what is being edited in Query Analyser currently. How can I do that Thanks. I would not consider it nice for an application to snoop inside of another unless there is a system to addin that functionality. Why do you want to know what is beeing edited One approach if you want to get the edited text is to use the Process class to launch query analyzer editing a temporary file. You will then add a FileSystemWatcher class to check whenever the user is saving the changes to the temporaryfile. You can then pick up any changes and in that way get what is in query analyzer. But only when the user chooses t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I need to count by ascii characters. Seems tricky!

  Hey guys, I'm doing an expirement and I need to basically "count" but using a set of ascii characters. I'm having a heck of time. And using VB.NET Express. For example, in Decimal, you count 1,2,3...8,9,10. As you know, once your first character reaches 9, a new character is added, 0, to the left, and then you start over counting the 1st character such as 10,11,12...18,19,20. Each time the rightmost character reaches 9, the next one over goes up one, and if another char doesn't exists, it is created. Okay, I need to do this but instead of doing it with numbers 0 - 9, I need to do it with 93 ascii characters! Ranging from chr ...Show All

• Windows Forms TaskVision XPanderControl: Convert IComparer implementation from VB.NET to C#

  Hello, I got the XPanderControl written in C# except for the IComparer implementation ini XPanderComparer. I'm getting an invalid cast exception with C# code like: public int Compare( object x, object y) { XpanderControl xpander1 = (XpanderControl)x; XpanderControl xpander2 = (XpanderControl)y; int result = 0; if ( xpander1.Top < xpander2.Top ) result = -1; if ( xpander1.Top > xpander2.Top ) result = 1; return result; } This mirrors the VB.NET implementation as close as I can get it. When debugging, I can't get the VB.NET code to break at the Compare method. In C#, the Com ...Show All

• SQL Server ERROR: The cabinet file 'Sql.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used

  As the title indicates, I'm having this error during installation. It occurs when I try to install the "Management Studio" part of the program. I've tried a bunch of things like copying to hard drive and installing, but to no avail. To isolate the problem, i've even tried removing Reporting services, since at the time of failure it seems to be trying to install/configure the Microsoft.Reporting Services dll. Additionally, I have SQL Express installed (installed it separately, not as part of the SQL 2005 DVD), VS 2005, .NET Framework 2.0, SQL Management Studio Express CTP.
