• mscherotter Extending Work Items - Bug Tracking

I just want to be able to start up my client at work and connect to my home computer. It would be like windows explorer but showing my home computer instead of work. Is this possible you can however you need to obtain the list of files from the home computer.

Your biggest problem will be finding your home PC on the Internet. You'd normally use a static IP address but they are very hard to come by ...Show All

• Rajesh batchu After import not verything is under source control.

  Due to the errors I got from the "Internal inconsistency problem" I recreated the project. As my peer coder is not able to built the project, I saw that VS left some files out and did not put them under source control, bringing the errors at my peer that some objects are not available and therefore bringing up many validation error because of constraint relations etc. This seems to be imrpovable :-) -Jens. --- http://www.slqserver2005.de --- Hi Jens Do you know if there was anything unusual about those files that did not get added to source control.

• jim- graphic drawing speed issues - general help requested

  I am using Graphics, and drawline and drawarc etc. to generate outlines derived from a text file containing x, y, z coordinates, and other unrelated information. I have to parse the file, to remove various comments, etc, but nonetheless, the drawing takes far longer then I would expect. For a file of about 2,500 coordinates it can take minutes, instead of a second or two. I suspect the apparent tardiness is due to the conversion required, from string, to double, to float etc, plus the calculations involved in getting the arc coordinates into the form that c# requires for example. My questions are concerned with improving the speed. For example, will it be quicker to use, say one large conversion method, compared to a number of 'calls' t ...Show All
