• Visual Studio Team System Setting up Alerts

  My install (single-server) of Team System was very smooth, except for a small glitch that I received when I inputted my smtp server.  It stated that it could not connect to the smtp server, however, I was able to ping it without any problem. I thought it might correct itself, but when I try to set up the alerts, nothing ever gets sent. First of all, is there a place where I can update the smtp setting for Team System   Also, if it tri ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom Attributes with Lambda Expressions

  I am intrigued by a comment made by Anders on the LINQ panel, to the effect that LINQ empowers rule and notification systems.  Such systems are likely to use custom attributes to capture the rule or trigger expression.  This in turn demands that custom attributes should support Func<> as a property type. Here is a hypothetical example of its application in DLINQ. [Table] public class Customer {  &nb ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 3D Animation

  When I try to animate the property of a ModelVisual3D I get "Multi-step property paths may not be specified on an object of type 'System.Windows.Media.Media3D.ModelVisual3D'" And this happens with GeometryModel3D too. Is this by design or is it a bug The only way to avoid that is to go up on the tree and use the viewport as the target for the animation. The problem is when ModelVisual3D contains other ModelVisual3Ds ...Show All

  Are there any known issues with Team Build and C++/CLI projects I have a very simple WinForms application in C++/CLI in a team project, and I've configured a Team Build to build it.  The Team Build service is installed on the dev machine, so I know there's a complete Visual Studio/SDK installation there.

• SQL Server SSIS: Inserting unknown members from fact table

  Looking up surrogate keys in a dimension table and adding these to your data flow is easy when there is a match in your dimension table for every key in your fact table. However, I am puzzled by how to manage the data flow when no match can be found for a specific key in the fact table when doing the lookup AND I then want to insert this unknown key as an unknown/inferred member in the dimension table. The problem is further complicate ...Show All
