• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Desktop Resolution

  Hi, Is there any other way to retrieve the desktop's resolution without referencing System.Windows.Forms This is really frustrating because I would really like not to reference a whole dll just to obtain the screen resolution.

• Visual Studio Team System Team Project Creation Fails because of Sharepoint

  OK this one is killing me.  I have done the install about 3 times and keep getting the same error.  When I go to create a new team project, I step through the wizard and click finish.  The wizard then goes on to create the Reporting Services Part, the Source Control part, and when it gets to Share Point it fails on authentication.  Everything is in a domain and I have used service accounts as specified per the install. Here is the kicker, when I am local (terminal serviced into team foundation server) all goes well, but when I am on my workstation it fails and does not give me a whole lot to go on.  It barks about p ...Show All

• .NET Development Populating Multiple Typed-DataTables with one SQL query

  Hi All, I don't think this is possible, but if it is I'll be delighted!! I have a typed dataset with two datatables - lets say 'Person' and 'Car' - like this: Person - Columns: PersonID, Name, TelNum Car - Columns: CarID, PersonID, RegPlate, Colour . Each person can have mulitple cars.  Now imagine I want all the cars for people called 'Smith'.  In SQL this is easy - SELECT * FROM Person p INNER JOIN Car c ON c.CarID = p.CarID WHERE p.Name LIKE 'SMITH%' .  However, if I run that SQL through ADO.Net, it will just return one datatable with the columns from both tables in (which i know is normally desired). ...Show All
