• SQL Server Many-To-Many Self-Join

  I hope somebody can help me with a rather complicated problem I am having involving triggers and foreign keys. I am working on a database that manages projects in terms of Tasks and the other Tasks (I call them "Pretasks") that must be completed before the Task in question can be completed. Any Task can be a Pretask for one or more other Tasks, and any Task can have any number of Pretasks, which calls for a many-to-many self-join on my tasks table, tblTask. I handle this with a linking table, tblTaskChain, which contains two fields, CurrentTask and Pretask, each of which contains a TaskID referencing a record in tblTask. I hi ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to get the latest version using msbuild

  I am trying to develope the application in msbuild which will automatically get the the latest version from vss,compile the code, then use xenocode for obfuscation and finallly to build setups...Can  anyone tell me how to get the latest version from vss using msbuild...... Thanks... You need to put Microsoft.Sdc.Common.tasks and Microsoft.Sdc.Tasks.dll somewhere where msbuild can find them, easiest way is to throw them into the same directory where your project file is located (even though this is probably not the recommended way) see 3) in the error message, you'll need to add <Import Projec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting a Team Project

  Hi, is there any way to delete a Team Project created by me From Team Explorer exists the remove option but I couldn't find one to delete all the different parts of a Team Project (SCC, Project Portal, Work Items, etc). Is it possible Thanks a lot LucasC In VSTF Beta 3, I can not even find the deleteteamproject.exe file.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Disable "Unprotect Document" in Tools Menu Item

  Is it possible to disable "Unprotect Document" in Tools Menu Item in MS Word using VBA We are accessing and modifying documents in Java using JACOB. If the document is protected we are unprotecting the document and doing modifications. But if the document is protected using a password there is no way we can provide the password programatically as each document could have different passwords. So if it is possible to disable the "Unprotect Document" menu using VBA then the menu can be disabled and the document protected without password. This way the document can be accessed and modified only programatically and not by the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development nativewindow in compact framework available??

  I want to select a date from datetimepicker. If I use eventhandler valuechanged, it goes nuts. So I found to control if the date was changed with the eventhandlers DropDown and closeup but these are not available in Compact framework. for the eventhandlers I found this solution http://blog.opennetcf.org/ayakhnin/PermaLink.aspx guid=4069b90f-f53f-4726-8790-36a9d3830aed e DateTimePicker control in the .NetCF v2 doesn't implement DropDown and CloseUp events which could be really helpful whe dealing with the picker. It doesn't mean that these events or messages are not available in the native counterpart. Win CE SDK docs show the presence o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System vsmdi relationship to TestCase/TestMethods

  I am trying to determine how an entry inside the vsmdi file relates to a test case method. Each test case item in a test list appears to have a unique Guid and the relative path to the assembly that the test case belongs in. However it does not list the test class that the test case belongs to. This information is visible when viewed from the test manager, but does to appear to be stored on the filesystem. Does anyone know how this relationship is maintained Yep, thats' it cracked. To summarise what is required, here's a bit of C#: SHA1Managed crypto = new SHA1Managed (); byte [] bytes = ne ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Proxy Configuration for Dummies

  Hi, my coworker and I just can't get the proxy setup straight. I started a test setup where I have one TFS and one client. The client can connect directly to the TFS without a problem, now I want to do the same, but use a proxy (we will later do this between remote locations with a slow connection). I have some really basic questions and I guess I just did not understand how exaclty the proxy works. a) Where do I have to install the proxy portion (the setup in the proxy folder on the TFS CD) I assume that this goes on the machine that is the client to the actual TFS server. Like this: TFS Server ----WAN connection---- Proxy &Client ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Endpoint not found exception when more than 20 clients connected simultaneously

  Hi, I am developing a WCF application in which more than 100 clients will connect to the server simultaneously and in each request server may send large data (say 25MB per request).

• Visual Studio Team System Getting frustrated with red "X" on documents folder

  I am at a loss as to why the Documents folder insists on displaying a red "X" in the Beta 3 Refresh. I have granted myself admin privilages but it seems to have done no good. Anyone know what would cause this I'm sorry to hear you are having problems. Several bugs have been fixed in this area in the RC, hopefully it will fix your problem. One thing to check: Open the project portal and make sure you can open all of the document libraries. If any of them cannot be opened then you will get the red x. You will need to correct this condition for the document explorer to work. ...Show All
