• Visual Studio Team System TFS Beta 3 Refresh: Upgrade to Final Questions

  We are about finished with our benchmarking phase and close to being ready to use TFS on a real project.  We are thinking about installing TFS Beta 3 Refresh on a production server.  Since .NET 2.0, VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 and SharePoint are all released products the only beta software would be TF Server itself.  What do folks think   Would it be foolish to install on a production server or relatively safe   The only reason I am considering this is that our production server is a dual 3.2 GHz machine while our current test server is a dual 500 MHz machine. WRT TFS RTM, will the RTM&n ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Doubts

  I am having this question in my mind from when I started using SSIS.. In a package I have an OleDB source and a flat file destination. and I hook up the source to destination in SSIS and run the package.. it works .. fine.. but internally what is done does SSIS performs BCP out Going from OleDb to flat file it just reads the data. There is no Bulk option for reading data out of SQL, because it doesn't have to worry about page allocations, changes to indexes, triggers etc. Its just reading pages from memory/disk. Going the other way it uses the BULK load operations as Jamie mentions. FYI these are avail ...Show All

• .NET Development Compatibility of various SQL Server Editions?

  Is SQl Server 2005 Express Edition software compatibile with SQL Server 2000 software A few months back I upgraded my computer system. However I did not re-install the SQL Server 2000 Developers Edition software which I purchased, 2-3 years ago. I recently installed Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition along with Sql Server 2005 Express Edition. I believe the latter software was to replace the MSDE software available in SQL Server 2000. Would it be OK for me to now install my SQL Server 2000 software If OK, then this means that it would be running along side my Sql Server 2005 Express Edition software. Thanks Gary Al ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Strange exception when running tests

  When I tried to run my tests I have this strange error: Managed Debugging Assistant 'LoadFromContext' has detected a problem in 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\vstesthost.exe'.

• Windows Forms Performance and Many Child Controls

  Hi, I have the need for a ListView like control (used in Details mode) that can contain one of several different child controls in each cell. I am using 9Rays FlyGrid as the ListView-like control, and placing a myriad of child controls into this FlyGrid and painting them over the specific cells they "belong" to. My problem is that the scrolling performance of this ListView window is horrendous. I have located the slowdown to the OnMouseDown method (Taking up to 1 second each time the scroll-down button is pressed) which adds up to multiple seconds quickly if pressed multiple times in succession, making it unusable. I a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Locbaml strange behaviour

  Hi Guys, While i am using locBaml to generate resource file from csv file, i had the folowing error: Each row must have the 2nd column as the key to the resource.

You shouldn't change them in translation. Pl ...Show All
