Importing configuration files in database (quick chart)

See

•Importing configuration from a file

•Importing data from a file

•Importing icons

•Importing strings from a file

•Importing schemas from a file

This assumes you configured External tools in Visual Studio Express, as explained in Configuring tools in Visual Studio Express.

Before proceeding, make sure that:

•The file is opened as read-write.

•The file is not renamed.

•The Solution root is selected in the Solution explorer in Visual Studio Express (if a VB file or project are selected, it may happen that Visual Studio Express attemps to import that file instead of the current configuration file).

Import configuration files, feeds, XSLs and workflows

On the Tools menu, point to Import config and then wait until the import finishes.

Import data files

On the Tools menu, point to Import data and then wait until the import finishes.

Import string files

On the Tools menu, point to Import strings and then wait until the import finishes.

Import schema files

On the Tools menu, point to Import schema and then wait until the import finishes.

Important: this will work only if you are running Visual Studio Express on the server (directly or in remote desktop).

Have in mind that Visual Studio Express imports to the default connection (if you have more than one), unless you specified an explicit connection name in the configured tool as explained in Configuring tools in Visual Studio Express. See Making a connection as the default one.
