• Visual Studio Set up VSS so all files checked in before final release

  I like to know if there is a way in VSS to make sure all files are checked in before any developer can make a final release executable. Thank you in advance! J Hi J, Sorry, I do not know of such 3rd party software. But perhaps someone else on forum or newsgroups knows I suspect there should be fairly easy to write such tool yourself. I don't know for sure, but I'd expect VSIP interfaces for VisualStudio have a way to hook up a Before_build event. Then, it should be easy to use IVSS interface and check the status of the project files in the VSS database. Alin ...Show All

• .NET Development Dependency Generator Issue??

     We are currently including a selection of complex types from one schema document into a schema defining a dataset. However, the code generation tool doesn't seem to be able to detect that the datasets need to be regenerated when the included schema is changed. We are currently on VS 2005, but this problem was also an issue in VS 2003. Are there any know workarounds or fixes for this I understand you like the VS designer to detect a change in an included schema and regenertate TypedDataSet. There is no support for this feature in v1.x/2.0 as you have observed. I see that it would be nice for the designer to detect the ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS Query from VBScript or COM

  I'm looking at integrating WDS functionality with an existing application and have been trying to call the ExecuteQuery from VB6 but am having problems. Does anyone else have some example code that they've managed to get working I've worked out that passing empty strings seems to case issues and am passing null references instead but am getting some errors raised ("Inv. Proc. Call"). This is for a small quick research project to decide between WDS and GDS so any suggestions would be very gratefully accepted!

• Visual Studio Message when i try to open project

  Always I try to open my solution, the IDE show this message: The file 'MySolution.sln' needs to be checked out before it can be edited.

• 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

• SQL Server Tool from SQL 2000, Missing in SQL 2005?

  My favorite tool ever in SQL 2000 was a little utility, a front end if you will for querying the system tables. It was under the tools menu and if you typed say 'account', you could find all objects containing the name 'account'- stored procs, tables, columns, etc. A GREAT little tool that few people seemed to use. Now I have 2K5, can't remember its proper name to google it by, and can't seem to find it anywhere, though I suspect it is burried somewhere. Anyone seen this one in SQL 2K and remember its name, or better yet, seen it in 2K5 and can point me there Thanks in advance, Jeff Thanks for the ...Show All
