• Visual Studio Team System Can I disable Deployment?

  Deployment seems to be a great idea, and will go a long way in providing a robust testing environment. But in a TDD environment where developers are running tests very often it is not very practical. Not to mention the problems with Deployment Items (attributes do not work on the class, solution deployment options under Run Configuration settings have quit working for everyone in my department), and the fact that VS does not clean up after itsel ...Show All

  I have a workflow (using beta 2) which passes a custom data object to the TrackData method of the SqlTrackingService. If the workflow completes successfully then all is fine.

• SQL Server Please tell me you are joking - All member multivalue parameter

  In 2005 SP1, there is no longer an automatic <Select All> option for multivalued parameters. You now need to modify the dataset providing the values for the prompt and modify the dataset containing the parameter. This makes no sense! I am so confused. It was working fine. Why did you have to go and mess with it If you want to add value somewhere, try making the width of the drop down box for multi value parameters resize to the text in th ...Show All

Recently, it's become the case that launching the app this way causes it to freeze, although running it normally never does. There are no parameters passed through, nothing should run any different to if I double c ...Show All
