• KitWest Automatic Build Number updating

  I know that when you use the ClickOnce Deployment option it will automatically update the version or build number (I think it is just the build number). However, is there anyway within the Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition IDE to have it automatically update the build number anytime you simply execute or run the program in debug mode before you use the deploy option I just don't like having to go into the Application settings and change the assembly information by hand all the time. It would help me better track my progress developing apps. Thanks in advance. Maybe I'm misunderstanding...but this should work....even in the Express version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_ ...Show All

• Nassir Allocating memory to array

  Hi, I am declaring a character array of size 10, e.g. char[] var=new char[10]; var="Anil Narayanan".ToCharArray(); The 'Q' is why am i allowed to assign a string > 10 characters. Why doesn't the compiler generate an error It generates a run-time error only when i try displaying the contents of the array through a loop, otherwise it works perfectly fine. Pls clarify. Thanks in advance Anil Hello All. Anil: A simpler approach might be to set the "MaxLength" Property of the assumed TextBox to the number of characters you are allowing users to enter. HTH. Hi! Appreciate your response. Could ToCharArray() be considered a way to resize arrays at run-time if in case you h ...Show All

• darkfriend34 Work items in resolved state seem protected against changes.

  Is this by design   It is rather frustrating to see fields you missed entering and wish to ammend, and not be able to do it.  I would rather see a dialog that strongly admonished against the action, rather than arbitrarily locking you out.  Is there a way to override this behavior At any rate the error message 26201 is rather misleading, and not helpful in explaining the real problem. Actually it is our own, modified from Agile. The work item type is Meeting, which has been modified from task. The states are assigned, active, resolved. As soon as I put in the resolved state all the fields are locked. I do not see anything in the xml definition that I would expect to cause this behavior. < xml version=&qu ...Show All

  I have a project I am working on and it requires that the keys on the keyboard read different than what is on them. For instance, I would like the letter "I", when press, to return the numeric value of "4". Can anyone help What change would I make to the code if I wanted the letter 'J', when pressed, to equal 4 One last question: I am reseting the number '9' key (across the top of the keyboard) to '0'. At the same time, I am reseting the period key to the number '9'. When I pressed the period key, the number '0' appears. Can you tell me how to keep this key, the 'period' key, from showing the number '0' and show the number '9' I put an answer in your earlier post with the same questi ...Show All

  I think I did a bad bad thing. When I have installed my server I used a local account for TFS service account and change it to a AD account later by using TFSAdminUtil. So I remember it yesterday when trying to resolve the issue concerning the KB installation. So this is what I did: Change TFS service account using TFSAdminUtil to use the original local account Install KB919156 (no error message when the TFS Service account was the original one) Install SP1 for TFS Install SP1 for Team Build Change TFS service account to use the AD production account But now, nobody could connect to TFS. Even the service and setup account have no access, all connections are forbidden. It seems that my server is not able to authentic ...Show All
