• llkoolj Security on Iteration node maintenance

  Does anyone know the security setting to allow the add/delete/mod of iterations. I have a user that has the ability to do anything needed with areas but cannot change iterations. I'm not sure which security setting I have incorrect. The group to which teh user belonsg is not allowed to edit project information. It seems from the docs that if I set the "DELETE" class="CSS_Node" allow="TRUE" that would apply to areas not to iterations. So... both from the chnages that need to be made in the groupsandpermissions.xml file of the team project template and via tfssecurity how can I set the user to be able to maintenance permissions and what setting must I obviously not have set not that prevents them from doi ...Show All

• Thomas Greenleaf Error 28806. Something is wrong with Reporting Services

  I have read through many of the posts on this Forum, but none have helped me solve my problem. I am installing TFS using a single-server configuration. I am unsing SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. Windows 2003 Server is 32 bit (not x64). I have followed the guide to the letter (this is the 2nd time I have tried installing).

• cwhetsel .NET framework...

  If I uncheck the "enable application framework" in the "My Project" tab in a solution, and then build the program, will it run on non-.NET PC's Just a little question about that sort of thing: In future will the .netframework be part of the regular service packs It would help a great deal... as its a pain in the bum having people downloading it to use your software. No...that is for enabling the application framework properties...All .NET applications MUST have the appropriate .NET framework installed in order to run .NET framework is not part of OS service packs but is available as an optional download on the windows Update.

You can later select tabs by clicking on them and drag the controls on each tab. Andrej ...Show All

• Mikael Håkansson Getting Drive Info

  Hi, I have a couple of questions getting drive information from a PC. I am using the system.io.getlogicaldrive command to get drives in a PC. What i want is to be able to differentiate between the type of drives - ie, floppy, HD, CD, etc. Also, i want to be able to determine which drive is the system or OS drive. Thanks! Josh not really. The best way to do this is using the .NET way/classes. the application will no doubt run on Windows however the question is how to get the drive which contains/has Windows installed, and that way is to use the Environment.SystemDirectory which gets the system directory which Windows is installed in how about using Environment.SystemDirector ...Show All

• ForEverLearning User Functions in seperate files

  How do you get MessageBox support in a user defined function when the Function resides in a seperate .cs file It will only allow it when I make my function either part of a class or form. Thanks I have all that stuff at the top, However it won't let me write anytthuing with MessageBox in my Body of my function. If i start it off as a class I can. but not just a blank file with The using statements, followed by a Function. Do i need to add the namespace to the top of the file and enclose everything in the { } well technically it is best practice to call the UI to show the message box giving it the string to show. If you must, makes sure you add ...Show All

• Thomas82 universal variables

  Okay, I'm not sure if it's possible, but here goes: I know that in VB6, it was possible to declare a variable in the declarations (at least, I always did, and it worked) and then it would be there for the entire program. However, converting one of my projects over into VB2005, I have run into an error. In all of my subs, the variables are now "privately" declared, and I have no idea how or why it doesn't work anymore. My coding resembles this: dim a, b, c, d, e as decimal Private Sub Button_Click( ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles Button.Click Call determine_variables(a,b,c,d,e) Call show_variables(a,b,c,d,e) End Sub Sub determine_ ...Show All

• danholmes How to specify a placeholder for the name of a GLOBALLIST used in a WIT?

  We want to implement a process template for various projects based on one TFS. Several field values in our WITs should be filled up by global lists which could easily be updated afterwards. But ... the lists for each project should be filled with different values (e.g. different product versions, different supported operating systems, different customers, ...). And ... we want to maintain one process template for all our projects. Is there any chance to specify something like e.g. "GLOBALLIST: [Project] Versions" as a suggested value in our WIT With user groups it is possible to specify e.g. "[Project]\Developers" Thanks for any feedback... Could we perhaps expect to get this "feature" ...Show All

• Igor Antunes Updating a label text.

  Can a text label be updated like every second I have some numbers (coordinates) that come from an API control and I want to be able to view them in the form of text but so far the only way I can get it to work is to make a button that has TEXTLABEL.TEXT = API-COORDINATE VALUE and it will update it every time that button is clicked. It works. Thanks! So put 1 or 1000 in the interval property Thanks Use Timer control instead Button control, and set its Interval property to milliseconds (1 second = 1000 milliseconds). 1000 since the timer is in milliseconds, remember 1 second = 1000 ms ...Show All

• Vimal_Rupera bored...vb and C?

  After taking a break from writing VB code, because with windows I have formatted my hard drive more times then my Visual Studio CD has been "misplaced" and I am not about to go purchase another visual studio, I decided to write a little java. My code is so strange sometimes with declarations of variable type first but no sign of a semi-colon anywhere. My comp throws a fit when I compile. Anyway I digress, I happen upon this nifty express version and something inside start feeling warm and tingly as I start hoping and praying that I can start making VB applications again without reinstalling Visual Studio. I have been writing almost non-stop in vb since I installed VBE :). After sometime I remember how to throw ...Show All
