• aaks Test plans

  Are there any guides available for writing up test plans How to test something properly, how deep to test the program, any specific ways of breaking a program I know that the programming side is one of the most important things, but as part of my course, I have to write up a program description and a fully detailed test plan with sample data. But I have no idea where to start. Writing stuff up has never really been my forte, I usually just do something and then leave it to be used but obviously, to be a professional, I need to learn how to jump through these hoops. Any advice appreciated You should check out http://www.nunit.org/ Also do some research on Test Driven Development. This is where you write your test first before ...Show All

• lwsimpson MSSCCI 1.2 and vs 2003

  I've installed MSSCCI 1.2, when i select File --> Source Control --> open from source control, i get the following error; Method not found: 'System.String Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Msscci.Support.Utils.EncodeData(String.String[])'. Any suggestions on how to get this working Cheers, Aaron Ok, because you haven't used v1.1 we are not really sure if Msscci ever worked on your machine. The error is pretty confusing, so let's first check if you have the righ assemblies installed. I hope you have RTM version of VSTS or Team Explorer on your machine There is no need to play with GAC, because Msscci PRovider doesn't store there anything.

• subir.talukder incremental linking is impossible, help please

  hi, I have been struggling with this problem for over 2 weeks, and i was told in one of the forums to try here. so here is my problem: I installed visual c++ 2005 express edition, and it works fine except the fact that it seems it has not incremental linking, it seems that for some reasons, it can't access the .obj files and update them (when I check their modification date, it shows the one from the last REbuild). I even disabled Norton antivirus and Zonealarm, thinking that they might have something to do. I have no clue what to do, and the size of my project makes impossible for me to live with this problem anymore. I can't wait for the whole source to REbulild after each modification !!! please, do you have any suggestions. Try ...Show All

• New-Bee share a shelveset

  Hi guys, Could someone please tell me how to share a shelveset with others thank you Hello, to unshelve from the command line please look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s6bx4df3.aspx To unshelve other user's changes from Visual Studio you need to go to Pending Changes Window, hit unshelve and write the shelveset's owner name. You don't need extra permissions to see other user shelvesets, Read and Checkout permissions on the changed files are enough. Hi: To be a bit more specific the way to share a shelveset is to let the people know the name of the shelveset and your username. When a person is trying to locate a shelveset by using unshelve they will need to know both of these to be able to locate ...Show All

• n0n4m3 Equivalent for appdomain.unhandledexception for a control

  I have a .Net control (activex) which i am using from a VC++ client. things work fine except when there is an exception in the .net contol which is not caught. When it happens the whole vc++ app crashes. is there any way i can at least catch the unhandled exceptions for my control log it before crashing the application. I am looking at something like the appdomain.unhandledexceptionhandler (this works fine for my normal .exe apps but since the control does not have the appdomain i cannot use it for the control) The app that uses the control would have to implement the exception handler. Not desireable, I'm sure. You can possible catch these unhandled exceptions by implementing the WndProc meth ...Show All

• Cagespear Which version should I use???

  I everyone, I need some advice please. I am planning to write a program for my job, I have got it mapped out and the planning stage is almost done, but here is my problem - I have both Visual Studio.Net 2003 and Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition on my computer, and am not sure which progam would be best to use.

• Kartit Team system developer vs test

  Hi, I'm choosing which version of ts is right for my c# team. I'm choosing between developer and tester. Tester has more test type on it. I didn' t find what feature the developer edition hasn't comparing to tester. Reading the docs I see: Dynamic Code Analyzer Static Code Analyzer Code Profiler 1. Dynamic code analyzer: It's difficult what those feature really is and where to find them in the IDE, maybe something relevant to c++ devs. 2. Static Code Analyzer: Solution explorer->my project->Properties->Code Analysis->Enable code analysis. This feature is also present in tester version 3. Code Profiler It's seems that this maps to the profiling tool. (menu Tools->Performance tools) ...Show All
