• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage for Manual Testing

  Hi, I am using VS 2005 Beta 2, and am wondering if it's possible to measure code coverage while executing manual tests within the VS test framework.   I am able to measure code coverage for unit tests with no problem, and I can include a manual test in my test run configuration, but I see no way to measure coverage while it is being executed.  Am I missing something   Being able to do this would be very helpful. Thanks! Andrea I upgraded to RTM today, and now manual testing code coverage works like a charm.  I experimented with the workaround you mentioned in Beta 2 and didn't h ...Show All

• .NET Development Lingering temporary DLLs from XSLT with script.

  I have an XSLT style sheet that includes some C# "script" to do some date rendering. Every time I run the transformation, I get a new DLL in my temporary directory that has the compiled script functions. The DLLs don't ever seem to get deleted, so I'm getting this pile of 4k DLLs. Is this a bug in the .NET framework (I'm using version 2.0), or am I doing something wrong that is causing this This is the relevant bit of code from my application: XslCompiledTransform xslt = new XslCompiledTransform(); XsltSettings settings = new XsltSettings(true, true); XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(GetStyleSheetStream(styleShe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Not authorized error during open project portal

  Hi all! Now I've faced with the problem when I can not view default project portal page while any other pages work correctly. For example, I can navigate through Process Guidance folder, Requirments folder and so on, i.e. I'm typing http://op1/sites/First/ Process Guidance/ProcessGuidance.htm from any machine in the domain and see MSF Agile documentation.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SQLMetal Timeout

  I am getting a timeout error when I run SQLMetal on some of my databases. Are there any restrictions as to how many tables there can be The ones that time out have 300+ tables in them. I can get it to work on smaller databases (e.g. Northwind and some of my own with less than 100 tables). -Larry Thanks Larry for trying out SqlMetal. This is a known issue we are looking into - SqlMetal currently does not specify (or take on command line) a timeout. We are looking into a solution. Thanks. Dinesh Kulkarni ...Show All

• SQL Server SSAS Cell Formatting -> Matrix control

  When I created a Table control, I was able to read things like .Color, FormattedValue, etc. from SSAS. This was great, because I could control all existing and future reports' formatting via one change in the cube. Now, I've decided that a Matrix control is superior for various reasons. However, I notice that I MUST apply an aggregate function to get a cell value...well, it appears that this means there's no longer any way for me to read my SSAS formatting. I tried =First(Fields!DataValue.FormattedValue), =Max(...), etc. I also tried it with the color property, etc. Nothing worked. Are there any workarounds I'd hate to embed the ...Show All

• SQL Server Capturing Processing Status and Progress Messages

  When you use BI Dev Studio or SS Management Studio to process an Analysis Services database or object, there's a nice dialog box that shows very robust status and progress information. Is there any way to capture this information if you are processing something programmatically   Specifically interested in both the ability to capture and display this information to a user when processing via a custom application.  Also interested in whether or not there's a way to capture this information to a log (or table) for display and analysis after the fact (or if the custom application is running in a batch mode via a schedule).

• Visual Studio Target html validation schema

  How can I set this programmatically per document opened in the HTML editor I have a VSIP pkg that uses a custom IVsEditorFactory to open .myext files in the HTML editor (it just passes the request on to the HTML editor factory). But I'd like to set the validation schema to something other than the default one specified in the preferences once it's opened. I've tried hooking into the DTE.Events.DocumentEvents to track when a document is opened, and then tried to sift thru the tool windows using the IVsUIShell.GetToolWindowEnum. But this won't work because: 1) The "HTML Source Editing" toolbar/tool-window doesn't appear until after this ...Show All
