Hey all, I've installed VS 2008 and SP1. I've tried to load a solution that has a WCF project and it complains that "This project type is not supported by this installation". I've tried the devenv.exe /setup but that didn't help. If it matters, this is all on Windows 7. On a Windows Vista installation I have no problems with the same...

My boss has asked me to disable constraints for the dataset layer of our application. Seemed easy enough to me, since the .XSDs had the EnforceConstraints boolean. However, after turning that off I'm still getting the "Failed to enable constraints. One or more rows contain values violating non-null, unique, or foreign-key constraints."...
In Visual Studio, I have custom MSBuild actions for various tiers - development, staging, testing, and so on.
