• Sharma111222333 Work items refreshed from Project and progess tracking

  Hi, i'm using MS Project to manage the progress of the plan. The developers and testers update their work items and i refresh the plan regularly. Is there a way to preview what has changed since the last time i refreshed When i refresh, the data is downlaoded from TFS and if there are changes in schedule, it's hard for me t know the cause. Thanks Francesc Hi Francesc, Not yet but wouldn't it be cool if we could get functionality in TFS like Project Server has where I can preview a set of changes (by hitting refresh) and then back them out (automagically) if I don't like them I'd like that too. Cheers, Randy ...Show All

• Fusion1224 Weird variable incrementing

  I'm making a noughts and crosses game. I made it with two homan players to start with and it works fine. The turn is 0 then when each player takes a turn, it increases by 1 until 9 turns taken and it stops if the game hasn't already been won. When I add an AI method to it, it follows the same procedure. Two humans Player 1 goes - turn increased - checks for AI opponent - if no changes player to player 2 Player 2 goes - turn increased - changes player to player 1 etc AI opponent Player 1 goes - turn increased - checks for AI opponent - if yes goes into AI method - turn increased - awaits player 1 input and goes through it again When I use Step Into Debug, it's fine, turn increases by one each time but when I just press F5 and play, the turn ...Show All

• JeanL Installing Visual Studio Express Components

  Hiya people, I got a little problem with some downloads. I've installed VBasic and WebDev from a CD, and wanted to try out the rest of the express pack,so I've visited the downloads website and downloaded the approx. 2MB IEsetup files for each part.

• JacksonJones CTP7 CPU Very Busy

  On several occasions Data Dude has stopped responding while using from 50 to 90% of the cpu. It's happened while performing a data compare, while unloading a project or while trying to close a project. Some times I see the error message " Failed to retrieve msbuild property DBProduct from the project file ." Sometimes it comes back, and others it will run for hours if I let it. Has anyone seen this issue before The problem will start during ordinary use and continue from that point. Even if I force VS to close (VS won't respond so it's not possible to close it nicely) and reopen the project VS will continue keeping the cpu busy. The only way I've found to work with the project again is to fo ...Show All

• wadnerk How to move project data?

  I have a basic question (sorry, I'm a beginner in this area): we installed TFS and SQL on the C: partition of our server. However we have a second partition (say E:) where we store all the development data (C: is used only for program/system files), and we wish to have the TFS data also there. How do I change the location where the TFS data is stored BTW, does TFS store everything in SQL or also writes something on the file system We don't have any production project so if the move will loose data is not important at this stage. TIA Francesco The TFS data you'll want to move is in SQL Server. Thankfully, SQL Server has a great facility for this - the ability to "detach" and then "re-attac ...Show All

• SergioX Custom shaped Form?

  I'm wondering is it possible to have a form that isn't a square I want to have a form with a menu sticking off the side, so that it would stick out. Is this possible Thanks I'll try that but why do I need all this code, cant I just add it as the background image like I do with the bitmaps What I was trying to say, is that you can draw your custom shape to something other than the lake. But here is the code to use a compressed image. Public Class Form1 ' Create a PNG file, not a JPEG. ' JPEG compression causes it to ' create colors that are not there. ' A image created with only 2 or 3 ' actual colors may show mo ...Show All

• FredMunro Is there any place where I should set the roles of the users?

  Hi Is there any place where I should set the roles of the users in the project A place where to set: Jhon is architect, Miriam is developer, etc. Thanks Javier There isn't a way to directly map users to roles in TFS. However, depending on what you're trying to do, there are some options for you. For example, if you want roles to define access permissions, you can define security groups (either as Windows groups or TFS security groups) for these roles and assign users to those groups. Let me know if that covers what you were looking for, or if not, please elaborate on your need. thanks! Yes, perfect. ...Show All

• tgbt Schema Import Problem

  I do not get an error when I import a SQL2000 database into a SQL2000 database project, but the objects are missing from the Solution Explorer. I have roughly 100 stored procedures that do not show up under the Stored Procedures node in the Solution Explorer, but the really wierd thing is that they show up under the Schema View. Any ideas how to show up in the Solution Explorer PS. There are not any stored procedure script files on my hard drive except for 3 (3 out of 100) We don't support having more than one object per file, just as a note :). I'll see if I can get one of the project team folks to chime in, maybe they can think of something I'm overlooking. I downloaded CTP5 today and I ...Show All
