• Smart Device Development Pocket PC error: "Unable to connect to the remote server"

  I have developed a Pocket PC 2003 app in Visual Studio .NET and am getting an unusual problem i can't get to the bottom of. My VB.NET Pocket PC App tries to call a simple web method on my webservice from the device using the webserver's IP or Machine name and receives the error " Unable to connect to the remote server". Yet if i point the device's IE browser to the location of the webservice asmx file (i.e. http://192.168.1.1/mywebservice/testwebservice.asmx ) i can successfully see the WebService name and the supported operations in the devices browser window.

• SQL Server Union Joins

  Ok, here's the deal. I have created a database for one of my clients and for security reasons I need to use two similar tables to hold the exact same type of information. One table is for general use, the other table is only used by the administrator. But because the information is all the same, I need a way to join the two tables together thru a query so that the dropdown box displays all the combined information from the two tables. The reason I don't just create one table, is because my clients are on a peer-to-peer network. Any changes to the base tables will be seen by all users. As far as I can tell, in MS Access there is no way to ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Package is "hanging" after validation

  My SSIS package will just hang (do nothing) after validation of the package tasks. I realised that it does 2 validation. It then hits "starting exectuing" and then nothing. I mean nothing. It just stays the same. When I look into the logg file, the same message as in the output window. My package has parallel extract of data from the same datasource, but different tables. I dont know if that the problem but i really doubt it because i have done parallel table downloads countless times in version 2000. When i go into the data task window, the source task does no even indicate that its downloading (color yellow). Is there any reason ...Show All

I know that there are new things around CMMI due in the July CTP but wanted to check that I should only see Agile in Beta 2 Yes, that is correct. We have several partners that have stuff under development, so keep an eye out for third-party MSF process templates, too. ...Show All
