• BaldManDBA Error C2664

  Hello I am right now JUST started learning C++ because I got the oportunity to get the whole Studio Package. So I am right now, trying to make a portable app (MFC) that will have a label that says "Hello World" that I can freely copy to another computer without .NET and still work. That worked with just a generic MFC application that Visual Studio gives me with the few page wizard. It works perfectly. But now, that I don't want to create a MFC app with all that Toolbar, and stuff. I just want to make a SIMPLE app that says "hello world". Anyways, I found a site, and a great tutorial, except that it's really outdated. I guess I could call the provided code "legacy code". Ok, the code is here: //hello.c ...Show All

• Scheinka Odd request, but I could use help..

  Okay, this is going to sound very STRANGE! But I seriously need help getting my school work done, and this is like the only way I can think of doing it. My questions are: 1: Is it possible to have C# prevent certain programs (i.e. World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, etc.) from opening until a password is put into a password box 2: How I wouldn't be asking this, but I seriously need to get some home work done (I have like... 7 days to do a lot of essays) and I keep getting distracted by the games that are on my computer (I would uninstall them, but there are others who use this computer as well, so I can't do that.) Otherwise, you can do it no C# way. Just to set password of the folder for specific account user such as yo ...Show All

• eddy2705 Create work items using TFS API?

  Hi, I'm trying to import all of our bugs from Bugzilla to TFS. I'm able to pull the data out of Bugzilla's MySQL DB just fine using C#, but how do I use the TFS API to import these bugs I downloaded the TFS SDK and read through some samples, but they seem overly complicated. Can someone please post a very simple example in C# on how to create one work item Bug in TFS I can then take it from there.

• theonlyway VSTS tester question

  Hi, Many of our customers ask me about the next VSTS version. So, my question is what should we expect to see in the next version of VSTS for tester Thanks Visual Studio typically does a lot of CTP's and Beta's during it's release cycle so you'll likely get some good answers to these types of questions in the near future. Hi, Thanks Hi, Thanks for the response. Can you share here some of the features Guy, At the moment we haven't publicly released the features which will be included in the beta. Once the features have been announced I'm sure they'll be posted here on the forums. --Mike ...Show All

• bmarcus Keyword Expansion

  Hello, I understand that VSTS does not support the keyword expansion elements of VSS ($History etc). Given this does anyone know how a developer could identify the version of a code file on their system without accessing source control Thanks, Si... Not really. The whole point of building version control on SQL is that you don't need to store this kind of metadata in (fragile, hard to query) text formats anymore. Note that TFS was written from the ground up; we didn't "remove" anything. It may appear in future versions depending on time & interest. Thanks for reporting the doc bug. Pramod: typically this is done by your build system. The same proc ...Show All

• Julianín A little help is needed for getting started...

  I tried to search the previous posts, but couldn't find any help. Could you tell me the exact orders what to do start a new project I'd probably try some C-stuff before going to C++.

• Jughead1111 Branching bound projects and solutions does not work

  Hello, While testing branching capabilities in TFS, I come to realize that for bound projects and solutions, branching does not work as expected. I hope I am wrong, and if you see any mistake with the following scenario, please tell me. Start of with a solution that has two projects c:\root\solutions\solution.sln c:\root\projects\projectA.csproj c:\root\projects\projectB.csproj Add the root directory to version control in TFS $/TeamProject/Mainline/solutions/solution.sln $/TeamProject/Mainline/projects/projectA.csproj $/TeamProject/Mainline/projects/projectB.csproj Make sure your mapping in the workspace is like so $/TeamProject/Mainline -> c:\root\ Open solution in VS 200 ...Show All

• gon_no1 Using Visual Studio 2005 Source Control

  Hi, Can i use only the New Visual Studio Source control without the other components of team system. I would like to use the new source control for my application which is in dot net 1.1 regards rajesh The TFS Source Control SDK (aka "object model") requires .NET 2.0, so you cannot code directly to that API from a .NET 1.1 application. As Richard Berg pointed out you can install the TFS MSSCCI provider and have your application utilize the MSSCCI interface to communicate with the TFS server. --Ben Ryan I was refering to the Team Foundation Source control Are you asking if you can use Team Foundation Server Source Control, or Visual Sou ...Show All

  Hi, I created several textboxes and have a list that encompasses several of them. Is there a simple way to now add a Parent list that would contain all these textboxes as well as the existing list with its textboxes I know it's supposed to be done the other way. Thanks, Fairfield You can create the new parent list and drag and drop your original list/text boxes inside the area enclosed by the new parent list. If the data from both lists come from the same dataset, tables are easier to work with than lists. Am I answering your question -Jim Yes, thanks that was the answer I needed. ...Show All

  I have an existing SQL 2000 database I have access to and want to use the tables within it. Express shows only ./SQLEXPRESS as the only database method to use. Can we not add other source to this In VB Express - the IDE supports only SQL Express and Access to get IDE support for other dataabases like SQL Server, Oracle etc. you can either code them directly using ADO.NET or purchase a copy of VB/VS which will then provide the IDE designer support to these other database types. VB Express is intentionally limited to SQL Express and Access and this is documented in the Readme file. Just use the rigth SQL-Connectionstring. You will get it at http://www.connecti ...Show All
