• Visual Studio Help with VSS

  Hi, Please forgive me for asking here, I realize this might not be the right place to ask but somebody here surely might have an answer for me.  We are using VSS 6.0d.  Here is my question: I have a server where we have all our VSS databases on.  The server has been having 'issues', so we have a new server with more memory, bigger hard drives, and a better processor where I need to move the VSS databases to.  My question:  do I have to tell all developers to check all their work in   Or, can I just move the VSS databases over to the new server and then let everyone change their configuration option in VSS &nb ...Show All

  We're using the CreateSubscription method to schedule a report for automatic delivery, using SQL Server Agent. Everything is working great. But, we had a question (or two). Is there anyway to specify the name of the SQL Server Agent job that gets created when the CreateSubscription method is called If so, how If not, is there anyway to get the GUID job name back after calling CreateSubscription TIA There is no way to set the name of the SQL Agent job via the CreateSubscription method.

• .NET Development Strange connection string persistence issue

  I’m connecting to a MySQL database using a third party component (MySQLDirect).   The issue I’m having does not seem to be a bug in the third party component as no other users are reporting issues with it and they seem unable to help.   I would really appreciate if someone could give me some inspiration on how else I can think about tracking this issue down.   The weird issue is:   I have my MySQL database connection string in the app.config file.   I’m using the MySQLDirect components in a component designer using VB.Net 2005.   When I change the database name in the config file to another database, t ...Show All

  I'va build an application that is based on the workflow designer lab. in the original sample, and so is in my code, once the user has clicked the run button (which executes the workflow) the button goes disabled. I've been trying to go pass this constraint, but it seems to be a difficult task because once you have run the workflow instance, the dll is held up in the current process and executing the compile() method again, results with the exeption that the customworkflow.dll is is use and can not be written to. I think this feature is a must in the designer user interface, but i cant get it to work. i've tried to seperate the ex ...Show All

• SQL Server performance issue with trans log on tempdb?

  I am running in to a tricky issue, and am hoping someone here has seen something like this before. Here's the basic sequence I am working with. A temp table #A contains some number of rows (in this case, about 45k rows). 1. Create temp table #B and insert a subset of the rows in #A (in this case, the subset happens to be 100% of #A) 2. Perform a few dozen updates to #B, using data from permanent tables. 3. Update the rows in #A with #B, i.e.: UPDATE #A SET xxx = xxx FROM #B JOIN #A ON #A.id = #B.id So, here's the problem: - I run steps 1 and 2, and they complete very quickly.

  I'm using the Configuration object to manage my application settings, it all works fine as long as they are stored on the local computer where I have administrator privileges.
