• Visual Studio Team System Problem when changing status from active to closed

  Hi, We have Agile based team project which contains the bug.xml file from CMMI process template (Beta 3). When opening a bug, and changing the bug status from active to closed (in all other cases work fine), we get an error message: "tf20012 field 'closed date' cannot be empty" "tf20012 field 'closed by' cannot be empty". What is the problem Thanks, Michael Would you mind providing a link or email the entire bug.xml file. There can be other parts that could be affecting the ClosedBy transition settings etc. ...Show All

• .NET Development Close() and streams/readers

  Hi, After creating a chain of  a stream within a buffered stream within a reader (or writer), must I call each object's Close()  What I want is for the stream to 'live on' and be wrapped by a different reader later, but I'm afraid that in not performing some sort of specific cleanup on the reader, that it will not be collected (or cause an unmanaged resource leak). When trying to Close() the reader/writer, I found that it also closes the underlying stream causing an exception to be thrown the way I'm currently doing it. The MSDN lib Docs are rather scarce on exactly how each of the disposable's, closable's do their inter ...Show All

• Visual Basic Website error

  Not sure if this forum is the proper place for this question, but I have a new server, which 2.0 beta framework was just installed (2.0.40607.42).  From VS 2005, I created an ASP website on the server in VB.

After removing the Imports="_Default", I then received the error:   Parser Error Message: Error parsing attribute 'codefile': Type 'System.Web.UI.Page' does not have a public property named 'codefile'.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Preventing Folder Sync in Outlook

  I am writing an add-in with VSTO 2005. In the add-in, I spin up some folders that hold some 'views' for user ease of understanding.

• SQL Server Unable to add user to a role

  I'm having dificulty trying to add a user to a role in SSAS. I am operating in a development enviornment with two servers, 1) a domain/file/print server running Windows Server 2003 and 2) my SSAS server running on my laptop with Windows XP Professional. When I try to add a user to a role it seems that I am only able to add users which have local logons to my laptop. That is the only location listed when trying to browse the users.

• SQL Server Merge replication with dynamic filter

  Brand new to SQL Server 2005 and replication, I was able to use online books info to get a replication topology set up (using wizards) and successfully replicate an article (a single table) to a SQL Server Express database. I then cleared the subscription table and added a simple dynamic filter (colx = SUSER_SNAME()), which I can't get to work. Based on what I read, I'm thinking that SUSER_SNAME() is not returning the proper value because the merge agent is set to connect to the publisher and distributor by 'impersonating the process account'. This is on the subscription merge agent security form. However, 'using a SQL Server login' is gr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using ContextMenus with AxHost'ed ActiveX Controls

  I am upgrading from VB6 to VB.NET. I place a third-party ActiveX control on a VB.NET form. I cannot set a ContextMenu for the control because AxHost does not support it.  (I can set the property in the start-up code but nothing happens when I right-click.) Instead, I handle the MouseDownEvent for the control and call myContextMenu.Show(controlname, point). The context menu pops up as expected. When I move the mouse up and down the list of items on the menu, I get myContextMenu.Select events. When I click on a menu item, however, I do not get a myContextMenu.Click event. This technique works fine for .NET controls. Can anyone help ...Show All

• Visual Basic click once updates exe but miss dll

  My application includes one exe file and 3 dll files, I am using click once to publish update. I have seen a problem, exe file gets updated but not dll files. What could cause the problem Thanks Sorry, there is no such problem. My bad. I wish I can delete the post. Thanks for the explaination of how it works, I will do more investigation on my problem, It is not very straightforward to find where the dll is stored on workstations when you do click once installation. And I am not very sure about missing update now. Will get back to this thread after I find what happened exactly. ...Show All
