• Lovericky autos pane

  Where can we find the autos pane in VB express, I use VB.net at school and just got VB express for my house. I've tried to get it the way i remeber doing it in school, but its not there. I'd be very surprised if Express didn't have it. It is however hard to find. While you have a breakpoint active: Debug + Windows + Autos. Have you seen that before in VB Express After re-checking both C# and VB Express, neither are showing the Autos option. For a quick example: And incase the above <IMG SRC=""> fails... the image can be found here . It seems though I may have spoken a tad early... while Autos (at least as far as my PCs are concerned) doesn't show up in the Debug -> Windows menu ...Show All

• maryz Solution Explorer - Refreshing does not remove nodes (files) which do no longer exist on the file system

  When a user opens a project and the project folder contains eg *.bak files, these files are added to Solution Explorer and marked as excluded from the project. The user deletes now these *.bak files outside of solution explorer directly from the file system. He clicks refresh in solution explorer, however the nodes/files are still listed in solution explorer (show all files has been selected). The user closes and reopens the project. These bak files are no longer listed.     A refresh in the solution explorer actually refreshes the design-time validation database. A new design-time validation database is created and all sql files with a BuildAction property value of Build are reprocessed. ...Show All

• Codeme UsePropertiesWhereAppropriate guideline

  I'm sorry if this has been discussed before. I didn't find anything in the forum. The UsePropertiesWhereAppropriate (CA1024) says "Properties should be used instead of Get/Set methods in most situations. Methods are preferable to properties in the following situations: the operation is a conversion, is expensive or has an observable side-effect; the order of execution is important; calling the member twice in succession creates different results; a member is static but returns a mutable value; or the member returns an array." Shouldn't Get methods that may throw exceptions also be an exception to this rule It feels a little weird to catch exceptions from get properties. /Andreas ...Show All

• Phil Rounds Deserialization error End of Stream Encountered before...

  Hello, I am hoping I will end my struggle here. I have confidence in you ;) I am serializing a hashtabls in my sql database in a field of type "image" with length 16. The serialization goes fine. later on in the code, I try to retrieve the value in the image field in a byte array as such: //***** code snippet begins object param = row["Parameters"]; // this is the field that has the serialized value. byte[] myBParam = (byte[])param; // cast it to an object. //***** code snippet ends and then I try to deserialize to make sure that I can retrieve my original hashtables, so I do this: //***** code snippet begins Hashtable myOrigHt = (Hashtable)Deserialize(myBParam); // Which goes to this me ...Show All

• mitasid Auto-levelling in Project and integration with Work Items in Team System

  We have a scenario where we have constructed a project plan where single resources are allocated to tasks in MS Project (due to a limitation with integration to team) and using the auto-levelling feature so that resource assignments can be determined in line with priorities etc. We have published the initial project plan 'tasks' to team, so that each person is able to see the tasks that have been assigned to them and roughly when they have been scheduled to start them as pre-determined by MS Project. When the resource begins a task, they are able to enter the ''Actual Start'' date in a customised field against the task in MS Team as well as 'completed' and 'remaining' work number of days. When this is subsequently refreshed in MS Projec ...Show All

• Vikaskumar_09 Team Explorer won't remember my password

  When I first installed Team Explorer (with Visual Studio 2005) it remembered my password.   They make us change our passwords every three days (I'm exaggerating a little).   Once I changed my password, it began prompting me for a username and password every time I started Visual Studio.   There was no "remember my password" checkbox visible in the dialog.   I was forced to reinstall Visual Studio a while back, and after doing so, Team Explorer once again saved my password.   But, yesterday was password change day, and now I'm back to re-entering my username and password every time I start Visual Studio.   What's the deal Where can I find the windows key ring a ...Show All
