• JCJCJC Problem with Checkin Comment Policy

• ReneeC Converting "String" to "Double".

  Hi, Can someone tell me how do i convert a "String" variable to a "Double" variable Thanks! Try using the double.parse() method. string d = "1234.5" ; double m = double .Parse(d); in addition, in .NET 2.0 there is a TryParse method. This allows you to check whether or not the string supplied is a double "compatible" type, in other words, checks to see if the value given can be converted to double. This is the preferred approach since doing a direct Parse can cause an exception if the string is not in the required format. If you know it is definately a double value from a string then yes use Parse. ...Show All

• abhas TableLayoutPanel Flicker

  I am using a Tablelayoutpanel, that contains around 200 lables. That are feed with data every 3 seconds. When this is done the tablelayoutpanel flickers. How can I stop this Hi, I'm just wondering... in this case, wouldn't it be better to use the DataGridView (or similar control), bound to the data source and just keep updating the data source What kind of data are you displaying Andrej Try the following on your form... TheForm.DoubleBuffered = True It wouldn't surise me that you get flicker with this number of controls. either: 1. Reduce the number of controls (200 is a lot), this is more than likely not an option... 2. perform your own 'drawing' onto the form (or usercont ...Show All

• exal Saving attachments

  To save an attachment you have to open it and then save it from within the application that has opened the attachment. In my experiences, IExplorer is always opening the attachments and sometimes failes to do so. For example: opening xml files for which the specified schema can not be found. Also for other file types like .jpg I rather want to save the files than open them in IE. I tried to change the file type associations as explained in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905703/en-us , but no luck. (What's more, for file types for which I changed the default open-application, the Advanced button is missing in the 'Details for .. extension' dialog. Only after pressing the 'Restore' button I can select 'Advanced' and then check/uncheck 'Conf ...Show All

• John Padilla I want my SC Data Back

  Hi, We moved our TFS from one machine, to another machine. We backed all our databases up and restored them on the new Server according to the procedure explained on MSDN. Anyway, I saw all my portal documents and Work Items but when it somes to the files stored in Source Control part, I get TF30059:Web Service Initialization Error and nothing shows up. Is there any missing configuration or restore procedure I have made When that error occurs, there should be a corresponding entry in the event log on the application tier. It may also be useful to look at the information from application tier tracing to see what's going on.

• Matthew Lebo28574 TFS Trial CALs

  How many users can access the TFS using the TFS trial version If I understand you correctly, I think this will help clear up the issue: I do not believe the Trial edition comes with any CALs. Note that you don't need a CAL for the service account or report account. At the same time, there is no [license] limit on the number of users who do have valid CALs who can access the Trial edition of the server, though normal scaling limits apply (i.e. we officially support only 2,000 or so users in TFS, though this is a limit we would like to increase for a future version). For more information, please see the Licensing White Paper . Cheers, Adam LouS, I've have the same problem. We want to ...Show All

• Todd at HCA Users / Logins (CTP7)

  I'm experiencing some issues regarding users and logins in the CTP7 version. The story: At first, there's no database or login available in the SQL2005 instance When I create a user named testuser in the Schema View , it is nicely added to the users folder as testuser.user.sql . Since it is created without login , I change the piece of the script to for login [testuser] In the Pre-Deployment folder I change the Logins.sql script to create a login if it does not already exist. Why is the testuser sometimes included correctly sometimes included with without login (although the script says for login [testuser] ) sometimes excluded when building the database project Also, I'm not able to just create a login with password=N'wachtwoord' ...Show All

  Hi, I'm developing on a new vb.net-application with the Visual Basic Express Edition . Now I have to use a backgroundworker for a longer process. But I'd like to keep the user up-to-date, what the application is currently doing. So the Backgroundworker has to change some labels in the main Form.
