  I've been using msbuild (.net 2.0) to build my VS.NET sln.  The solution contains a number of project including a web project.  Unfortunately the .dlls are not getting copied to the web projects bin folder.  For some reason access is denied to this folder.  This is an example of the error:                  [exec] Build FAILED.                  [exec] C:\VSAB\ReleaseBuilder\AutoBuild\VSAB.sln : error MSB3021: Unable to copy file "C:\VSAB\ReleaseBuil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there any way to assign two resources or more for a workitem?

  Hi there, Is there any way to assign not only one, but two or more people to a WorkItem. In Project i can assign a work to more than one people, but when i try to add a Workitem, it only permits me assign one person. Thanks, Guino. I had the same problem.Needed to assign a task among 2 developers. My workaround was done in MS Project, I assigned lets say 200% of resources to the task (2 developers assigned) , created a new column (ie. Outline Column 1) with a custom lookup values (developers name groups) and finally group the gantt chart by this column. In this way I can control the timmings and dates appropiately , I can control my sha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Debugging causes large svchost.exe process

  I have a database like server application that deliberately tries to take most of the physical memory of a machine. When I debug it (usually with DebugBreak) I get an extra svchost.exe process running that seems to mirror the Virtual/Physical memory requirements of the app. Since I have deliberately taken most physical memory this causes a massive amount of thrashing and the break dialog box doesn't appear until this is all over. I can't seem to kill this process, it ignores requests to kill until it has finished populating the physical memory. When it has all settled down it doesn't seem to happen again that logon session. Can someone ...Show All

• Windows Forms SQL Parameters with datasets

  I'm taking my first stab at WinForms after some time with ASP.NET and I need some help. When I drag a DataGridView onto the form and go thru the wizard to create a DataSet and TableAdapter that use an existing stored proc with a single boolean input parameter for the select command, I can't figure out how to get it to use a checkbox control on the form to fill the parameter. When I do the same thing in ASP, the DataSource wizard sees the parameter and asks how to fill it and gives me a number of choices, including a control. I'm very surprised that WinForms don't do the same. I've searched everywhere for this with no success. That must ...Show All

• Visual C# Application.ProductVersion

  Hi I am trying to display productversion in my winform application What i want is to display version information as major.minor.build (1.0.14).  Everytime I recompile I want build to increase by one / or when something changes in the code base and recompile - do not mind which.
