• Visual Studio SourceSafe doesn't acknowledge database

  I have used source safe before but now find myself in a position to be the administrator of it with no one else in the company with any knowledge of it.  The problem I am having is that when I have to work on another computer other than my own and I try to open the database through sourcesafe, it doesn't acknowledge that a database was found.  Even after browsing to the database, the dialogue box for which database to open will remain empty.  However, when I return to my computer, there is no problem using this database.  The primary users of the other computers can also access this database with no problem.  Why is ...Show All

• Visual C# Can I build my project to an unmeneged program

  Hi, I wrote a program in VS2005 beta 2 and I was wondering if there is a way to build and compile the program to the native computer and not to .NET. If not, is there a way to take the project from VS2005 and transform it to VS2003 project in some way. The Visual C# compiler only produces .NET assemblies. This is true whether you use Visual C# 2003 or Visual C# 2005. If you wish to create native executable images that do not target the CLR then you need to use Visual C++. You can use Visual C++ 2005 or any earlier version you may have.   Cheers, Kenny Kerr Microsoft MVP http://weblogs.asp.net/ken ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Modify ValidationRuleFindText to read values from DB

  Modify ValidationRuleFindText to read values from DB I know how to bind for example radio button list to data base and then by choosing One run per data source row option can run web test multiple times!

Am i wrong on this Maybe i missed somethin and it is possible to bind "text to be found" property to db somehow If not then how do i cre ...Show All
