• mlcprs Fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory

  When I try to compile a win32 sample program, I get the 'fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'windows.h': No such file or directory' error. I have installed and configured (even the step not in video) the most recent Platform SDK, but I still get this error! What is happening Thanks! The instructions on downloading and installing the Platform SDK are specifically written to let you use windows.h. You messed up somewhere but won't give us any hints how. There have been complaints, perhaps it is intentionally made difficult... Could you please post your include path Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team Sorry about that. I should have given the full path, but it was ver ...Show All

• deKay Team Explorer connecting to the wrong hostname?

  Hi Guys, I've installed VSTS to a rack server we are renting from a hosting company. The computer name was assigned to us with some internal name used by the hosting company. We have configured DNS etc. etc. on the box such that for all intents and purposes it appears on the web as a normally resolving internet hostname. However, when I attempt to add a New Team Project through Visual Studio to the VSTF Server, it seems to be putting this onto an incorrect web address. So instead of the site being http://www.something.com/sites/ProjectName it is being added as http://servername/sites/ProjectName , where servername is the name assigned by the hosting company, and as such does not resolve over the web. It fails stating that it cannot connect ...Show All

• stryjek4 Customize Team Project Creation

  In the past, our team has stored items in Source Safe that weren't necessarily associated with a project we'd created in Visual Studio. With the source control in Team Foundation Server, we'd like a separate top-level folder where certain project artifacts (executable utilities, documents, etc...) not associated with a Visual Studio 2005-created project could be managed under source control. Is there a recommended way for this to be done using source control in TFS Again, the key is that we'd ideally like a shared top-level file rather than having to put these shared items under a team folder that was tied specifically to projects in Visual Studio. Thanks, David Madrian We used VSS for ...Show All

• MartinHowe branch on a label

  Let me walk you through my scenario which will lead to my question. I recently migrated a large project from VSS to VSTF. We stayed away from branching in VSS, which was probably a wise descision. Now that we have much more sophisitated branching functionality in VSTF, we have started using it. When the project was in VSS it was under the root $/foo. About a week before the migration, we cut a label on $/foo called 1.0.0 (as it was just released to production). I created a "foo" team project and then migrated the project from VSS to VSTF under $/foo/main for the mainline development. I then did a branch from the cut label 1.0.0 and called it $/foo/Rel1-Maint. The interesting thing is that I can't do a merge at the $/foo/Rel1-M ...Show All

• bryanedds Import Database Schema status is completed but my Database Project is still empty (tables, stored procedures, ...)

  Dear All, I am using "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals Version 2.0.50727.72". CTP. All my attempts of Importing a Database Schema return a status "complete" but unfortunately my Database Project is still empty . When i compare the schema of my Database Project to the one of my source database i get a confirmation that the Database Project is really empty.

• lleoneye On the Wishlist: Make dependency visible

  Hi, one of my greatest wishes (after V1) for this product would be to make the dependency graph visible for an object. Internally you must process and handle the dependencies between the db-objects to generate the scripts in the right order and for refactoring etc. It would be nice to have some sort of view to see the dependency graph for the actual object, to measure the risk of a change in the actual object.

• Michael Per Making Area and Iteration Read-Only

  I would like to make the fields Area and Iteration appear as readonly to every group except 1. We have our product management team enter these values, so we do not want anyone else to have access to these fields. How would I go about adding this functionality I tried adding the "Read-Only" field for "Not" the Product Management group, and it worked on other fields but did not allow me to do it for these ones. Here is what can be done it's not bullet proof but is likely acceptable: In the <FORM> section of the workitem find: < Control Type =" WorkItemClassificationControl " FieldName =" System.AreaPath " Label =" &Area ...Show All

• markdrury The application for project is not installed

  When I try to open an .sln file in MS visual C# 2005 express edition, the system shows this messenger: "The application for project 'c://...' is not installed". What can I do when something like this happens Claudia Do you know the type of the project that it is erroring on Chances are it is a non C# (or C# ASP.NET) project. Unfortunatly due to built in limitations, each version of Express is only able to view projects of the language that it supports, unlike the higher versions of Visual Studio that let you mix and match project types to your hearts desire within a single solution.

• leo1 Event for variable change?

  Is there an event that happens when the contents of a variable changes   ie. If myInteger changes from 5 to 10 I want something else to happen, like set another variable or call a procedure.  If there is no event, then how else could I achieve this behaviour   Thanks...

• AlucardHellSing FindNode.... not found...

  Hi folks, I am messing around with treeviews and listviews, and I am missing something. In the documentation I encounter commands like FindNode, TreeNodeConverter, ConvertFromString etc. But I cannot get it to work. In the sample provided by MS (below) it results in the errors like "FindNode is not a member of "System.Windows.Forms.TreeView". Also the parameters like ValuePath are not found (not member of treeNode). I tried to import the namespace mentioned, but it is not "there". Have I stumbled on a difference between VBA and VS2005, or is it just "not ready yet". Searching the internet yields no proper samples... ..
