I'll design the page with the available criteria, but it could contain any number of combinations of criteria to generate ...Show All

• Visual C++ general question regarding arrays and functions

  Writing another program for school and I've got something seriously screwed with this one. I may have to post code for this, but I have my main function that calls another function(switcher), I'm trying to pass two arrays to this function and have that function switch the lowest value in one array replace it with the lowest value in the second array and vice versa.

• Visual C++ Solution Explorer taken a step back?

  In VS2003, the solution explorer allowed you to re-order the folders in a project, albeit it was cumbersome. Also, there was no way to sort the files within a folder without taking them out and putting them back in in the order you wanted (and there was no 'sort alphabetically' anywhere, either). In VS2005, everything is sorted alphabetically and it seems impossible to reorder anything. I want to reorder the folders (now called filters). I use ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Restore-move but re-create Sharepoint

  I need to move my TFS installation to another machine, typically this would be a simple "Restore based move", but there's a complication: my sharepoint content database is messed up and can't be backed up (SSMS gripes about the full text index being offline- indeed, it seems to be missing completely). Rather than mess with Sharepoint, what I'd rather do is simply create new portal sites for my projects - I can re-upload all the docu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System IdentifiersShouldHaveCorrectSuffix

  IdentifiersShouldHaveCorrectSuffix On this page linked above, under the section "When to Exclude Messages", it is missing an exclusion instance that I believe should be in place. If I create a collection class and derive it from a base collection class, but want this new collection to also be a base class, then ending the collection's name with Base should be a valid exclusion reason. Example: MyCollectionB ...Show All

• SQL Server How to reset the identity counter on a table referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint?

  I know that TRUNCATE TABLE can be used to reset the identity counter, but it can't be used on a table referenced by a foreign key. Anybody knows how to do that Thanks. Hi, if you want to use truncate, you have to drop the constraints first, othwerwise you could use DBCC CHECKIDENT (jobs, RESEED, 100) to reseed you identity.
