• Visual Studio Team System Two different ID's seems to see the same set of workspaces

  I have 2 different ID's (one is my TFS admin account, say id1, another is my regular user ID, say id2). For some reasons, I got the following: (1) Under id2, all the workspaces show up in vs.net are those in id1. Why (2) Under id2, when I try to add a new workspace, the "add workspace" panel defaults the owner to id1, but the account I currently log in is id2. What happens (3) I override the owner with id2 in the "add workspace" panel and go ahead finish the panel. After I click "ok", the new workspace does not show up in the selection list.

• Visual Studio Team System VPC Foundation Server installed images - When?

  At TechEd, DVD's with VPC images of Foundation Server (well, everything in Team System) installed were being passed out.  This saves headaches for both end-users and MSFT (who have to answer all the install related issues) The question for the rest of us is: when would this be available for download from MSDN Thanks, I find it very annoying to try to enable alerts in a thread, and not being able cause of the shortage of MSN Alerts. I think, it's about time something to be done about it... George J. ...Show All

• .NET Development Data controls gone in studio 2005

  I'm a recent convert to visual studio and I was just getting used to the 2003 environment when the office upgraded to 2005. Now I can't find the connection objects in the data toolbox. I found it very handy to drop a sqlDataAdapter and a sqlConnection on a form and use them as my starting point to connect to a database. Now with 2005 the objects don't appear in the toolbox. Am I missing a component somewhere or have they been removed I can still access these objects programmatically but I'm not as proficient with them that way. also look at this: Whats new in Data: ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS. ...Show All

  Hi, We are on VSTO Customizations for Word 2003. We binded the XML Schema to the word document.

  When tf.exe (beta 3 refresh version) displays an error message the text is colored in yellow on black. My command prompt windows usually have black text on white background.

• Visual C++ Processing video from a webcam

  Hi, I wrote oone app that captures video from a webcam (it's the one in Mark Pesce's book of DirectShow). It works perfectly but it only records around 7-8 seconds. I want to make this modifications but I don't know how so I ask you to help me: 1. I want the app not to stop recording at 8 seconds, I want me to stop it when I want. 2. I don't want sound. The app shows a window with the video it is recording and writes it into a file. I want it to filter those frames with another kind of filter (a Sobel one for example). 3. In order to make this I think I have to connect the output file of the Smart Tee Filter (Capture or Preview, ...Show All

• SQL Server Arithabort side affects

  i recently needed to add an index to a computed column. I know its risky and that the side affects can be quite a pain (the cursorlocation on an adodb recordset setting caught me out for a start!) but i am struggling with scheduled jobs.    Stored procedures that are called from my applications have either been altered to have the required quoted_identifier and/or arithabort settings changed to comply with the new index, or tha app itself calls the set statement on the connection object just prior to the call to the sproc and this seems to work OK, but any sheduled job that references the table will not execute, even a one line exe ...Show All
