• Visual Studio Debugging on Web Server Error - VS2003

  I keep getting an "error when trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on web server. You do not have permission to debug on the server. Verify that you are a member of the 'debugger users' group on the server" This is extremely irritating as I really need to debug a web app. I have tried and checked everything the help provides.

• Visual Studio Are these known problems

  1. On exit from the experimental vs studio I get a null pointer error. It doesn't always happen tho. 2. When I right click in the experimental moelI get 5 or 6 index out of range exceptions before the validation menu appears I don't get either of those problems. It sounds like old stuff persisting in the toolbox. I would guess that this will clear it: Reset the Experimental hive Stop all experimental VS instances Start Menu>All Programs>Visual Studio 2005 SDK>2005.10>Reset the Visual Studio experimental hive Rebuild your DSL -- hit F5 in the DSL solution Res ...Show All

• Architecture Middle Tier Design Question

  Let's say I have two applications that needs to communicate with each other. In a nutschell, when I design an application (not always of course), I have my business component (Facade Layer), data access component, and my domain objects (DTO's), which makes up three seperate assemblies. Now, let's say I am building the Sales & Marketing application that needs to communicate with the Accounting components. I am not sure if the Sales application should just go ahead and make direct references to the accounting assemblies or if I should go ahead and put a web service proxie in front of the components. The environment I work in is all ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio Team Server as SourceSafe Replacement

  I am looking to replace/upgrade our SourceSafe 6.0 with and upgraded product. If I understand what I have read, the VSTS may be an option. My question is whether this product can be used with non-Microsoft files. For example, in addition to using SourceSafe for all of our VB projects, we store mainframe source code, VBScripts, etc. in our current database. Can the Team Server and Team Explorer be used to duplicate this functionality TIA ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Sequence container,data flow task

• Software Development for Windows Vista WinFX, XAML, Atlas, Asp.Net - Jane stop this crazy thing!

  As a current WinForms developer I was beginning to ponder learning Asp.Net but now with WinFX right around the corner I'm not sure what I should do. With all the new technologies coming out I'm a bit confused as to what development technology I should be putting my efforts toward. Will the WinFX API replace the .Net framework and become the preferred way to build desktop and web applications The local .Net users group is raving that Atlat will change the way web apps are implemented. How does Atlas/Ajax fit into the whole Windows Vista/WinFX development methodology (if at all) Should I even bother learning Asp.net or should I ju ...Show All

• Visual Studio Pseudo variable @clk

  Hello, prior to VS2005 one was able to reset @clk after every debug step by placing a @clk=0 in a watch window line following a @clk. While one can still use the @clk, the automatic resetting doesn't work anymore. And after every debug step one has to reset the @clk manually. Is there a way to automate this again in VS2005 Help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you, Uwe What are you seeing I can make this work by adding two watches:    @clk    @clk=0 ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I set ApplicationName through ODBC call so that SQL Profiler can see it properly

  Hi, I want some proper name to be set in the "ApplicationName" column for my application in the SQL Profiler instead of always being empty. I use ODBC to connect to SQL Server. I am sure there must be someway to do that because when I run SQL Analyzer, I can see "SQL Query Analyzer" or "SQL Query Analyzer - Object Browser" displayed in the ApplicationName column when I turned on SQL Profiler. Thanks, Jeff Jeff, you can specify the application name using the following ODBC connection string key/value pair: APP=<your app name>; ...Show All

• .NET Development how to check if datetime in SQLDateTime range

  I want to validate some dates. I was just using datetime.parse but I can still get a sqldatetime overflow error if the date is not in the permitted range. How can I check for this The SqlDateTime data type has static MinValue and MaxValue members, which return the minimum and maximum SqlDateTime values. So you could convert the string to a DateTime, and then use the static MinValue and MaxValue properties to write code like... DateTime mydatetime = ... if (mydatetime < SqlDateTime.MinValue.Value)   MessageBox.Show("Too small"); else if (mydatetime > SqlDateTime.MaxValue.Value)   Messag ...Show All
