• Visual Studio Team System Workspaces meant only for filtering?

  Is filtering is the sole purpose of the workspace feature http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=97724#97724 Will it  get the latest version of the build if it is specified as < Project DefaultTargets = " DesktopBuild " Hi Nike Yes the workspace is used to filter files that you select to build through Team Build. We have an MsBuild 'Get' task which does the job of getting the sources on the Build Machine for us. If you need to get the latest version instead - you can customise this behavior by writing your own Get task with this behavior and plug it in the Microsoft.TeamBuild.targets file instead of th ...Show All

• SQL Server Export database from SQL server 2005 to 2000

  Hi I need to transfer schema and data from SQL server 2005 to SQL server 2000. Backup had been perfect, but a backupfile made by SQL server 2005 can't be read in SQL server 2000. I seach for a solution but I did not found any. Is there someone that have a solution Hi, either make an import from the 2k server or an export from the 2k5 server via DTS Assistent. Another but more complicated way would be to create scripts of your database objects and data and execute them on the 2k system. But prior to that you have to make sure that they are compatible with the 2k system. HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

  Hello, I'm trying to design a new directory structure for a large project which is migrating from using Visual SourceSafe to Microsoft Team System for Source Control. I guess my problem is the following: I'm used to CVS, and to how CVS manages branches and merges. As to what I have understood, the only way of creating branches is to select "branch" in the Team System Explorer and to create a new branch directory. That would be fine with me, but now, the problem arises: How can I accomplish that my new branch is downloaded into the same directory as the trunk (main branch) This is needed most of the time, as it is not possible ...Show All
