• ONEWORKNGRL Performance Problem #2

  We've got a project with 3200 objects. The project contains about 10 errors. When we attempt to double-click on one of the errors to bring up the file, Visual Studio will hang for anywhere between 3 and 10 minutes. The Task Manager shows 'devenv.exe' consuming about 90% of CPU resources for this entire time. We're using the RTM version of DBPro. Amos. Just to provide you an update on this. We identified this issue, we have created a fix and are testing all permutations of interaction with source code control right now. I will keep you posted. For people who experience the same problem, please contact our product support services at 1-800 936 5800 to open a support case, this is the only way we ...Show All

• Andy Britcliffe LoginForm1.vb problems

  I am a new coder (only been doing it for a couple of months) and I am having some trouble with the templete LoginForm1.vb in Visual Basic Express Edition. I can't figure out what code I need, nor am I really sure of the way to go about using the form. I've done some looking on the MSDN Library but all they have their is logins for web applications. Since what I am creating is a windows app then this doesn't help me. If I could get some help in really simple terms that would be great. I've also looked at some other posts on this forum concerning this problem and they didn't help me too muchl I've only had VBExpress a short while too but  I still don't know how to make the user name bit but I thin ...Show All

• Alba Console Application

  What can you do with a console application ... have really no idea Can you make an email application - so when you type in a certain thing, it'll send an email (FOR EXAMPLE) Generally console applications take some command line parameters to do some work. The User Interface on them is normally rather limited to very simple textual output rather than windows applications which have a much richer user interface. You you make an console application which sends an email, sure but it wouldnt be a very rich UI and would probably have some limitations. An example may be executed something like Email.exe abowles@xyz.com "test email message" to send the message "test email message" to the email address abowles ...Show All

• doczap Can I get test results in Excel or HTML format?

  Hi, When I export results, I can see only results with (.trx) format and it opens in the VSTS itself. Can I able to export it to EXCEL or HTML format with my desired fields present in the test results Kindly suggest. Thanks - Vijay. As far as I know, we are not going to do that in next version. But we are going to change content of test files to be more human readable and publish the schema (.XSD), in this way it would be much easier to convert them to any format you want using XSLT. Thank you, Michael Thanks Michael. Is there any possibility of getting these results in near versions -Vijay. Vijay, you can multi-select d ...Show All

• Will George How to pre-populate description field with labels?

  How can you pre-populate the description field with text for example, when a user enters a new bug, I would like the description field to appear like the following: Summary: Steps to reproduce: Analysis: Solution: While simplistic, I don't have the time or resources to invest in a full customization of a process template or work item. I have read all the threads on stuffing HTML into the description field which I do not want to do. Nor does there appear to be means of adding such text to the <FORM> element for the work item definition ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms194963(VS.80).aspx ).

• ricochett Buttons on Form disabled when using SQL Database

  Ok, I've tried de-bugging this and I can't figure out how to rectify my problem. So far I have a simple application with a simple database. (I'm getting back into programming after 20 years.) I have a list box with names of historical figures. When you click on the name a picturebox on the form changes to that person's picture and there is a 'summary' text box which says a little about them. The list box is bound to the database. It works pretty slick actually. The only problem is that once I click on the list box (and the event ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged takes place) all of the buttons on the form are unresponsive. Apparently the program goes into a loop where it checks to see if the listbox has changed and continues to do ...Show All

  I've noticed the error: TF42045: A build for the team project: ProductionSystem is in progress on build machine. On each build machine, only one build can be active for each team project. Use a different build machine or try again later. I don't like the idea of my users receiving this message. Is there software that will allow me to support concurrent builds on one machine Is there software that will allow user requests to enter a queue as opposed to simply rejecting users If I decide to have multiple build servers, is there software that will send user requests to the available server so that the user does not have to try one server at a time to see which one is free Hi - these are ...Show All

  tThe title sums it up really, I want to be able to choose a key on the keyboard and make my program do a function when its pressed.
