• SQL Server Source Code control and SQL Server express??

  Hi, I was wondering if anybody could advise on source code control for SQL Server express, for the table schema and stored procedures I currently use Sourcesafe V6 to work with visual studio 6 and 2003 (although it isn't integrated in 2003), and wondered if that can be used Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I see this as a disaster waiting to happen! Thanks in advance. Mark I suggest that you store the TSQL commands that you used to create the database objects in script files and use source code control with those files. If you are already using SourceSafe, then you can use it ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies %s

  When entering a web address to search I get redirected by the %s that appears in the search bar. This only happens when using MSN. Not when searching from rogersyahoo. Thanks Hi thanks for responding. As an example only, if I search for "westjet" (without the quotations) using Google , which is my search engine in explorer, a window comes up with a list of over 10million web sites that are totally unrelated. In the address bar is the symbol %s not westjet. It doesn't seem to matter what I search for, the same thing happens. If I switch to RogersYahoo I don't have the same problem. It really ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Docking Manager

  Hello. Is there something like docking manager in Avalon I mean the posibiliy of user to drag and dock controls like Properties or Solution Explorer in Visual Studio. Docking is a de-facto standard in desktop applications and it is really strange that neither Framework 2.0 nor Avalon offers the solution, isn't it Or are there any posibilities/suggestions to do it in Avalon Thanks. There is no built-in component to support drag and drop of elements within a window. I am sure there will be third party solutions, blog posts, or examples in WPF books that cover this topic. I currently plan to cover it in the WPF book I am work ...Show All

• SQL Server Viewing a "View"...

  I am trying to view a "View" that is in one of my databases, and I am having a problem seeing the scripting that is inside of it. In sql2000 all I needed to do to view a "View" is double click on it. If I double click on a "View" in sql2005 it will open more folders showing the layout, but I want to see the scripting.

• Smart Device Development Build/Deploy issue - individual files being pushed

• Visual Studio Team System Re-run of recorded web test fails

  I have recorded a webtest . The webtest involves uploading an image. After recording when I try to rerun the test, it fails giving an error "RequestFailed: Could not find file...". The path of the image file it mentions in the error is not the one I have entered through UI. Instead it is the path from where my web test is run i.e \Path of the last web test run\out\ImageFileName" In the generated code it shows a call to FileUploadParameters. It requires a path and file name as parameters. I have given absolute path from my disk. Run of this test case fails as it is not able to locate the file. Any solution or ...Show All
