• shibin Visual Studio hangs when I try to "Check Out" a file from TFS Source Control

  Help! Starting 2 days ago I found that if I tried to right click on a file in TFS source control, VS would just hang. I could only close it by ending the task in task manager. I tried the repair option for Team Explorer and also tried the SP1 upgrade. It's still hanging anytime I try to manually check out a file via the source control explorer. NOTE: It seems as though I'm still able to check out files if I'm in a solution. But not directly from the Source Control explorer. And this issue is only affecting me. The rest of the team is fine. This is becoming more than annoying. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Hi: Is this still occurring thanks, mario As first suggest I would activate client tracing to ...Show All

• TaDa Replication vs Proxy Server?

  My company is currently in the process of bringing other branches of our company on to Team Foundation Server (TFS). Our primary offices are in the United States but we have other branches in Europe. Originally we were planning on having a central TFS server in the USA that all branches would connect to. Due to latency and somewhat frequent WAN outages between the branches we are now looking for other options. The first thought we had was to install a second TFS server in our European branch and setup SQL 2005 replication between the two databases. The hope is to have the European branch connect to the TFS server in Europe and the USA branches connect to the TFS server in the USA. With the hopes that we would have identic ...Show All

• tomacco C# Book

  Can anyone recommend a good C# book for a beginner I don't know any C or C++ but want to learn C# and eventually XNA :) Thanks I just bought "Sam's Teach Yourself Microsoft Visual C# 2005 in 24 Hours, Complete Starter Kit", and I think it's really good. Comes with the original Microsoft CD with Visual C# 2005 btw. And the first book on programming for beginners I've seen that doesn't start with the worn-out "Hello World" program. Instead you jump right into designing a real application (a picture viewer), in the first chapter. Cool! I was a bit annoyed though that there wasn't any electronic version included, I think it's much easier to work with an ebook. However, I discovered that they have electronic c ...Show All

• Dallastower Creating Code Review Tasks Automatically from Tasks

  When a task goes into Resolved state, is there a way to automatically create a "Code Review" task based on the Code Reviewer name submitted in the work item check in rule   This would be really helpful to keep track of comments related to code reviews and make sure that each code review is successfully done.  For instance: Developer A completes work item and checks in code. (it would be nice to be able to change the status of the work item in the Check In box as well) When checking in the code, there is a Check In Policy for "Code Reviewer" (this should be a drop down of list of active users as well...fill in the blank does not work very well from a compliance check) Based on the successful changing of the work item from Act ...Show All

• Will George Ordered List in a Textbox

  Below is the code to place 50 items in a Textbox/Listbox in the Listbox the items show 1 - 50 but in the Textbox they show 50 - 1 I know why it's doing this but how do I reverse it to show 1 - 50 same as the Listbox For i = 1 To 50 TextBox1.Text = (i.ToString & ") " & (arrNumber(i))) & vbCrLf & TextBox1.Text ListBox1.Items.Add(i.ToString & ") " & (arrNumber(i))) Next It's the AppendText that does the trick.

• SoniaJulka Getting the WebBrowser LocationURL to show.
