• joey001 Now that we've made a total mess of things... How to put it back again

  It all started when we added three new assemblies and files to the solution. Not noticing the "Add Solution to Source Control" in the massive solution explorer context menu, we added the assemblies manually using Source Control Explorer Add Files / Add Folder. To our surprise it was as if these files were not in source control at all! You could edit them all day without checking them out. You had to check them out using source control explorer or nothing, and they did not show locked in solution explorer. They do show up in the check in window. So we tried to create an entirely new project by adding the existing solution to source control. This was an even worse idea. What we got was the new assemblies at one level in th ...Show All

• Citrus Registering DLL

  I am upgrading a VB6.0 program to .Net with Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. The program runs on the computer I use for debugging etc. but when I try to move it to another computer it looks like the MSGrid DLL is not being registered on the new computer. I have been using Publish to create a setup.exe. Any suggestions Thanks The publishing capability included with VB Express (ClickOnce) does not have the ability to register activeX controls, in this case MSGrid. You will have to one of the following: Replace it with the much more capable built in .NET Framework controls (e.g. DataGridView) Have the installler of the published application register the control manually create you ...Show All

• aashta using tfs web service without MetaDataTableHaveEnrty value?

  Hi there, Currently Im successfully updated my workitem using the TFS web service ( need to use web service because i need to change some fields value that can't be set using OM). But I still can't programmaticly get the RowVersion value for each TableName in the MetaDataTableHaveEntry ( so right now all the rowversion value is set to 0) What are the implication if i do not set this value (RowVersion) Or could someone teach/show me how to get all the RowVersion value, I able to get all the TableName from Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Server.MetadataTable library. thanks in advance. As I said before the main reason Im using the web service, is because currently im writing a migration program ...Show All

• goh6613 Merging Labels

  I have a label that touches several files in two different changesets. I want to use that label for a merge. The VS IDE gives me an error message "No items match $<path> in the label myLabel@$/<path >". So then I figured this could only be handled with the command line merge. I tried this: tf merge /recursive /version:LmyLabel /preview /noprompt $<frompath> $<topath> And it gives me essentially the same error. If I ask TFS about the label "myLabel," it gives me a nice description of the files that are in it. Then I decided to try the command line merge using a changeset spec that is synonimous with that label (e.g. C305~C306). This worked. So is the final conclusion that TFS can't ...Show All

• Fluxtah Data build

  We have a need to move a lot of data build(sql scripts, sps and dmls) along with code builds. The general approach is from VS2005 application, through calling sql server comand line(isqlw), we run the data builds and parallely run the NANT scripts for the code. We have decided to migrarte the software development process to TFS. We want to take advantage of the TFS build. Question is, so far, all the reading I have done suggests that TFS builds handle the code build. But does it offer anything out of the box for data builds also Again, by means of data builds, I essentially mean to be able to run various sql scripts in different data environments along with code builds. Also, if I have to run oracle scripts in the TFS build, how do I ...Show All

• CWeeks UGH....Save Function

  I am not getting why this is not working. I have tried to get this to work, TallDude has done a great deal to help me better understand this all. But I am still having trouble to get this to work. I want to understand how the NotePad FIle>Save works. I am thinking, as TallDude as suggested, that they use StreamReader/Writer. So in that thinking I am strying to get the File>Save Function to work. Here is the entire code: Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Public FilePath As String = "" 'Open Option Private Sub mnuOpen_Click( ByVal sender As Object , _ ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mnuOpen.Click Dim open1 As New OpenFileDialog 'display only text files ...Show All

• Aliaa reading file's name

  hi I am new to VB, I want to write a code that reads a file if its name contains a specific letter. For example if I have the files: ax2006.dat, ay2006.dat, az2006.dat, I want the code to read the file which has x as the second letter of the name. can anybody help cheers Haithem no worries. You could use that however if you need to get files which do begin with ax, then the solution i provided would be most effective :-) you can get a list of files with some filtering: Dim theFiles() as String = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles( Path , "ax*" ) this would get files which begin with ax and have anything else after it. Then you simply read the file you want from the array, "theFiles" - does ...Show All

• stets Running TFS on Virtual Server

  Hi, Has anyone tried installing TFS on Virtual Server If so is there anythign special i need to do we're going to be instaling so i'd like to know if there's anything else apart from what's published in setup docs. Dellendinho We have also installed TFS in a virtual environment. In our case, we use VMWare Infrastructure 3. I have separate VMs set up for for DT, AT, and Build server. This is all working very well, but keep in mind that the server that's hosting the VMs is a pretty beefy machine (though it is only dual processor) - lots of memory and a SAN for drives. Short answer - it works fine. Thanks man. Hi I have installed TFS on a virtual serve ...Show All
