• Visual Studio Team System Overriding "CreatedBy" and "CreatedDate" for new work items

  We are in the middle of writing a tool to migrate all our bug data to TFS via the object model. It is essential for us to preserve the user and date of each change made to a bug report. Currently TFS uses the current user and datetime. Is there a way of overriding the "CreatedBy" and "CreatedDate" when adding new work items A possible workround is to insert each bug in its initial state, then for each state it passes through, modify it accordingly and save it again. This gives you the right number of history records, but with the wrong dates and users. Then use SQL directly on t ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sept CTP - TextBox, Styling & the Beloved ControlTemplate

  I'm trying to upgrade my code to the new CTP, and am running into some initial problems with slapping a controltemplate onto a simple textbox. This is disturbing, I know its something unbelievably trivial, and as I type this I am slapping myself, but, hopefully someone can point out the mistake...         <Setter Property="Template">             <Setter.Value>                 <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">       & ...Show All

• Visual Basic mscomm vb6 --> vs2005

  I have a very simple vb6 program I want to convert to VS2005.  MSComm is nolonger available and I don't understand how to receive data without the mscomm_OnComm() event. Please advise.  Also, can this be implemented so that the code is exposed to MSAccess 2000   Ultimately I need to communicate to a piece of Lab equipment connected to the serial port using a production application written in MSAccess.

• Visual Studio Team System Instrumentation failed

  Can I be able to instrument the code without having a source code for all of my executable I am getting the following error: "PRF0002: Instrumentation failed with these options" because it can't find the source code for the 3rd party object file. Is there a workaround for this problem Thanks, Sadly with the current version of the profiler you will not be able to instrument binaries when you are missing the pdbs for a third party object file. Our instrumentation code relies on having symbols to perform instrumentation. A few possible solutions are: 1. Use the sampli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Reinstallation of Beta 3: Error 28704.Unable to connect to the Analysis server

  Good afternoon, Yesterday I completed the installation of a single server instance of Beta 3.  It worked (for the first time!!).  The only problem, was that I couldn't see domain users from the Team Explorer.  I put 2 and 2 together and realized that the problem was the service account. It was a local user, and didn't have rights to see the domain. So, I uninstalled TFS and STS.  I deleted the DB's that got created, as well as the application pools and COM+ packages. And of course, an obgligatory reboot. After running through the setup a second time (and third and fourth :0) ), I hit a snag.  I received a setup er ...Show All

• SQL Server Do Sql supports mutlithreads on triggers?

  Hi all, I have a question Whether Sql supports mutlithreads on triggers. For example: I have a Patient table. When two patient records getting inserted by two different transactions does it trigger the triggers in different threads and execute the code in Insert trigger Or only one row will fire the trigger and the other one won't Thanks Each transaction will fire the trigger. The trigger is in response to a DML statement (or DDL statement also in SQL Server 2005) and the code is executed automatically by the engine within the scope of the transaction. Note that the trigger is however at the stat ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to modify database data (ADO.Net, C++, ODBC)

  I am trying to learn how to use DataSets to edit data in a database using the ODBC .Net provider. I would also like to have an OdbcCommandBuilder buid the SQL commands for me. In this simple example, I created a small MS Access database with two tables (Table0 and Table 1), with a few columns, and populated with a few rows in each. I am able to connect to the database using a DSN (only targetting Table0), query and properly populate a DataSet - "properly", as far as getting some basic information back. Then I try to Clear the table from all its rows, and then I try to update the database by using the OdbcDataAdapter Update function. The upda ...Show All
