The Server Explorer built into Visual Studio is a nice way to connect to your database, view existing data, and edit data. Very useful for entering sample data into a database for testing and development purposes. However, what if you have a "text" column and want to enter a long text field?

A bit field seems the logical way to do this, unfortunately, the enum starts at 0 rather than 1 (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, ...) and can't be changed. How...
I just started using C++ VS2008, and downloaded an archive of samples from MSDN. The file is vc_samples.exe - sorry, don't have a link right now. My problem is, most of these examples would not compile. The Start Debugging button (green arrow) was disabled, with no explanation whatsoever from the IDE. More by luck than skill, I stumb...

I can make a query that lists all bugs, sprint backlog item or product backlog item, but I can't find the actual check-in. Is it's possible or should I make (SQL) queries directly on the database.

I'm currently testing browser compatibility with IE7 for an app that I built initially for use with Firefox. The assumption at the time within our organization was that we could get everyone to use Firefox, but that's been called into question, so here I am.
