• Visual Studio Team System Questions on TFS Proxy

  Hi All,   TFS proxy allows a remote development team to work against a local TFS server, that automatically synchronizes source control updates with the parent TFS server.   In most cases (for the kind of projects we execute in an onsite-offshore model), this would mean that the parent TFS server would be located onsite, and the proxy would be located offshore. I read on the Microsoft site that the TFS server cannot be accessed over the internet, as it only supports Windows-integrated authentication. The work-around for this is to access TFS remotely through VPN.   All of what I stated above th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Date Sorting issues in DataGridView Column

  Hi, I am converting a VB6 program to .Net/VB2005 as a learning experience. I'm testing the DataGridView control to display my data and have some difficulties. My data is in a single disk file with user-defined-data-type fixed length records. The first column in my DataGridView displays a transaction date. All the DataGridView columns are textbox columns. The dates load and display correctly but if I click the column header and use the built in sort it doesn't sort in the form (YY/MM/DD) I would expect. I'm new to VB2005 and I have not found a way to set a column format to Date (MM/DD/YY). Is that possible If so would a date format solve t ...Show All
