• Visual Studio Team System Can't add project Web Parts to home page

  I'm trying to add web parts from the project gallery, just the ones installed by default, but they give this error every time: An unexpected error has occurred. Only the project gallery web parts give this error. If I add one from the "Online Gallery", those work just fine. But the ones associated with the project fail. I have three TFS projects and I get the same error on all three. I also have two other non-TFS SharePoint sites on the same error, but those do not generate an error. Jay McCleery posted the answer below. It worked for me. Jay McCleery wrote: Unfortunately, thi ...Show All

With regards to the 3rd point, the SETACL pipes the results to a text file, so I wa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registration benefits

  I just read the announcement about the benefits of registration. I already had registered so of course it didn't let me register again.

• Visual Studio Visual SourceSafe 2005 Database Format

  Does Visual SourceSafe 2005 have new database format, different from VSS 6.0, that was prone to data corruption SQL back-end, maybe, similar to SourceGear's Vault Also, will there be a conversion/import mechanism to move existing VSS 6.0 databases to 2005 format, or are they backward-compatible Thanks, Dimitri SunGard SCT Hi Dimitri, VSS database format was not changed between VSS6 and VSS2005 .

• SQL Server Generate Scripts missing option in Management Studio

  I was hoping this would be fixed in SP1, but it is still missing. Particularly in a development environment, I find it very useful to have scripts DROP first, then do a CREATE for tables. There is an option called Script Behavior that is supposed to allow this, according to the help text. There are supposed to be 3 options, DROP only, CREATE only and DROP + CREATE. This third option (the one I need) is missing. It does not show up on the drop down. Sorry, I don't want to be rude, but before anyone suggests it, yes, I know I can create a DROP script first and then go back in and create a CREATE script and then run both. And I don't want to ...Show All
