Visual Studio Team System VSSConverter Failures/Flaws
I am having no luck using VSSConvert to migrate a large VSS database into VSTF. I could not convert the database in beta 2 and I still cannot convert it in beta 3. I'm trying to convert a single root project and VSSConverter runs for a few hours then crashes with a Send Error type exception. Neither VSS Analyze nor VSSConverter analyze reports any errors on the database. VSS analyze does report several warnings associated with loss of Share/Branch, files still checked out in VSS, and a single "TF60067: Data loss due to folder move warning". I don't really care about the checked out files right now.&nbs ...Show All

Visual C++ 2005 Resource Editor trashes non-English languages when you edit any dialog
I have an application that has resources in 11 languages, including Chinese (CHS), Hungarian and Polish. These three are especially challenging because they use a non-English code page - Chinese uses 936 and Hungarian and Polish use 1250 (English and western-European languages use 1252). I am not using Unicode but rather just single byte characters sets for all languages except Chinese which requires MBCS (two byte characters). MFC and the resource editor in Studio 6 and Studio 2003 worked fine with this setup. Now in Studio 2005 anytime I try to edit a dialog resource in the resource editor and save the result the saved file ha ...Show All

Windows Forms Publishing Location, Installation URL, Update Location
Hi All, I am using one click and I confess I am confused over the use of the Publishing location, the installation URL and the Update location. I will tell you what I am trying to do and perhaps someone can straighten me out. The initial installation of my application comes with a database that I include in my initial installation deployment. However, after the intial deployment, I do not want the database being included in future updates. However, I seem to be unable to make this work. When I have the update location pointing to my smaller deployment (without the database) even new installs go to that update URL and of cours ...Show All
.NET Development Values of sizeof concerning struct (no optimization?)
I have been playing a bit with the sizeof operator, and the results that I get seems not too good. For example, let me consider struct Zero { } an empty structure. With .Net 2.0, I get sizeof(Zero) equal to one. I know that such case is borderline, but I would like to understand why it's not zero (I do not see why a zero-length LValue should be a problem), Also, let me consider again struct SomeBits { bool a; bool b; } . With .Net 2.0 again, I get sizeof(SomeBits) equal to two. I understand that the bit array has not been compacted in such way, but I do not understand why the struct is not compacted I would expect ...Show All
