• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Team Builds - Project Build Order

  VSTS Beta 3... I have a single sollution with approximately 10 projects - I need certain projects to build in a particular order. Setting up my project dependencies and building the sollution locally works fine...when I look at the Project Build Order in the Solution...it looks something like this: A B C D E and it succeeds on build.

Team Build does the building at the solution level only. Hence, the local and Team ...Show All

• .NET Development Question regarding VS.NET Trial Version

  Hello, I have a quick question regarding the Visual Studio .NET 60-Day Trial Version.  I know the IDE will cease to function when the trial period is over.   However, will any code I wrote with the trial version still work on another computer with VS on it even after the trial period is over Thanks for your help. Yeah, it's just like uninstalling the IDE - the programs compiled with it still work.  And if you don't mind using the command line compiler, you could even keep working on the programs... the languages are free, it's the IDE (and all those helpful tools) that you pay for. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Which port does TFS use?

  If I want to access TFS from outside my company, which port should I open on the firewall of my company Is it 8080 only Thanks! We are trying to get to the point where the DT can sit behind a Firewall and have ONLY have the AT the front end.  This will occur in RTM.  Due to a few underlying issues  on how our product works with YUKON (which is currently fixed post Beta2). This, however, will not reduce the need to open Yukon via TCP.  You can also open a different port for Yukon, and then on the AT set up an alias to point to that new port.  That should reduce the regular attacks on 1433. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Which edition to install

  Dear All Without wanting to start a religious war (but probably managing to anyway) I'd like some pointers on which of the Express editions would be best to code my project in. The project is thus: An application to design the layout of advertisements in magazines by reading the advert booking details from a database and then storing them in the appropriate page of the right magazine. Then printing off A3 layout 'thumbnails' of the pages and ad positions. Currently this is all done on A3 sheets that are photocopied and ruled up with a pencil (obviously time consuming when the layout is changed) My thought was to have the ma ...Show All

Yes.  The report has to be set to Snapshot Execution and has to have default values.  The SOAP method to call is UpdateSnapshot.

You can not set the parameters when calling these parameters.  If you want the parameters different then you must first set the report parameters then call one of the above methods.   -Daniel ...Show All
