• Visual Studio Team System DateTimeControl

  hello, i added a new field in my work item type, it represent a calendar in format mm/dd/yyyy how can i change it to dd/mm/yyyy Thanks Both the TF client and server were designed to be locale-independent so that users could set dates/times/numbers in their preferred format (based on the OS Regional Settings) on the client. Regardless of the client settings, dates/times will be stored in a consistent way on the server. I would recommend you don't force a specific format. Aldo ...Show All

• SQL Server Prompt for user input in criteria field of view

  In Access, I use [Enter Date] in the Criteria field of the Query. I tried the same thing in SQL Server in the Criteria field of the View and it does not recognize this. Is there a comparable command in SQL to get user input into the Criteria field of a view Hi, you either have to use a procedure with an input parameter or have to put a condition on the query with querying the view with: Select * from SomeView Where SomeColumn = 'SomeValue' But there is no GUI on SQL Server.

• SQL Server Maximum Capacity supported by SQL Server 2000 Enterprise under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

  Hello Does anyone know what is the maximum capacity supported by SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition in terms of number of CPU and amount of RAM. For CPU : Windows Server 2003 EE supported up to 8 CPU so I assume SQL 2000 Enterprise can also support up to 8 CPU For memory: Windows Server 2003 EE (32 bits) can support up to 32 GB of RAM so I am wondering whether SQL 2000 EE can also support up to 32 GB Under BOL it said it could support up to 8 GB of RAM under Windows 2000 Advance server but it does not mention Windows Server 2003 EE Hi Kay.

• Visual C# Raise event from IE hosted windows user control and catch it in the Web Form that’s hosting the control

  Hi. I have a web app that uses a IE hosted windows user control. I would like that, somehow, lounch an external event from that hosted control that I could catch in my web form’s code behind. If possible, please send me a small sample project ( bozesan_mihai82@yahoo.com ). But, of course, I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks in advance! Hi! Launch event from client side to catch in the server side You need to post back web request. I'm not sure this is the best way, but I think it's good to create button on web form (hidden button) and from your control push this button. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Specify Messagebox options

  Hi Added the messagebox options i.e messageboxoptions.rightalign (assuming that if my application was to be used in an rtl environment then the text would be right aligned), so even though rtl is set to No and the language is set to default (which I can only assume is either US English or UK English), so why are all my messages boxes titles now right aligned Have I missed something here Duncan Hi I think I'm almost there with this, except it's displaying the message box as right aligned when I would expect it to be left aligned, I'm calling the MessageBoxEx function like so If MessageBoxEx.S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSS Converter error

  I've installed Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite and tried to migrate a VSS database to TFS but get message that VSS 2005 is not installed. I thought VSS was supposed to come with Team Suite If I recall correctly, the VSTS sku includes VSS, but it is not part of the default install package. If you do custom install and include VSS (or do a full install), that should do the trick (you can also run change/remove on VSTS from Add/Remove programs, and add VSS). If you try that and still get this error, reply back and we'll investigate further. ...Show All

• Visual C++ wtsapi32.h missing

  Hello everyone, wtsapi32.h seems to be missing in whidbey beta2. It is in the platform sdk releases. What is the reason behind this and how do I overcome this I need to detect if the program is running under terminal server or not. Thanks in advance. Hi Henrik, If you are an MSDN subscriber you can access our more recent builds. We release a CTP (Community Technology Preview) at the beginning of every month. However, we recommend you do a fresh install, which would probably solve your current problem anyway. ...Show All

• SQL Server "Prediction steps" has no effect for "Microsoft Time Series" algorithm

  I am using "Microsoft Time Series" algorithm.  When I view the charts under "Mining Model Viewer", I see only the predicted points of only one step.  When I change the "Prediction steps" value, the scale of the time axis extends, but the actual curve does not change at all (i.e. no points after one step).  I must be missing something rudimentary. Could anyone help Thanks, H This can happen if the algorithm detects that it cannot generate an accurate prediction. In the case the algorithm detects that predicted values will explode expotentially, it returns NULL values. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Inserting proceedures using the Code Model

  I have an addin that I want to be able to insert handlers for the click event of buttons. I found a sample that uses the code model to insert a function, but there are 2 important parts i have not been able to locate. The first is, where can i specify the parameter to the proceedure that is being made the second is, how can i add the "handles label1.click" at the end I know this can also be done with the TextSelection.Insert directly, but using the code model seems to be the better approach. The article i found is here http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=830  and gives exmaples of both ways (very nice by the way).&nb ...Show All

• Visual C# Capturing KeyPress "Always" !!

  Greetings... My Form needs to capture the KeyPress and KeyUp events. I did set the KeyPreview property to true and it works almost all the time ! When the application starts, it doesn't work... I fist need to touch something (i.e. give the focus to a control) so that the key press and up events could be treated properly. How can i go around this Thanks ! Acoquinar   Hi, since it's a good idea anyways to have one control on your form that gets the focus right away (so your user can start working with the tab-key and so on without having to click on the from prior to that) that's what you can to: Afte ...Show All
