• prasadKR How do I plot a graph (with x and y axis) on my form?

  Hi, how do i plot a graph (with x and y-axis) on my form Prelogue: I'm happy to work with people, but I expect to work with them and not do all the work. I expect them to think and not me do all the thinking. The reason you went through the cut and pasting was that those routines with the signatures are events. C# does something different with forms events than VB does. The event installation menus are not the same. So clicking on them in the designer seems to install them. So earlier, I recognized two out the three events, omitting the form's load event. When I looked at the code, I instantly recognized that in the forms load event was not executed so the objects would not be instantiated. Doing the same cut, double c ...Show All

• Bjerner Work Item Entry from Project Portal

  Is there any way to enhance the Project Portal so that an user can insert a new work item through project portal We usually can do this from the IDE, Excel and Project Server. Get the Visual Studio SDK and there are quite a few examples of using the work item object model. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/. The general advice from Microsoft and the VSTS community is not to directly manipulate the data in the VSTS databases. There are dependencies throughout the schema that will cause you problems if you start directly editing, updating and deleting data. Thanks Joe. I can use some more info. For example, where do I find exact work item object model Any link for third party tools that I can ...Show All

• blowdart dataset and datagrid problems

• SouDev show form in C#

  Hi, I'm new to C#, been programming VB express 05 for about a year, and I want to know, How do you show another form I have a form, MainForm, and an About Box, AboutBox, and on the main form there is a menu item, AboutToolStripMenuItem. Logically, I want to show the About Box when someone clicks the About menu item. In vb I would have something like this... AboutBox.show but I tried that in C# and it didn't work. almost there...you need to create an instance of the object in question, then do whatever you want to do. So in this case, create an instance of the form: AboutBox theAboutForm = new AboutBox(); //show is: theAboutForm.Show();   problem here will be that the user can focus back onto the ma ...Show All

• Colin Macguire Sql Express in Visual basic express

  Hi Is it possible to create a table in visual basic express with functions to calculate amounts in columns for example column 1+column2 =column3. I tried importing from excel to vb express but the excel I have is too outdated to work. I have gotten as far as creating the table but when it comes to adding "functions" to the table i havent got a clue Thank you What you are looking at is something called Computed Columns SQL Server 2000 does support them and I'm not aware of anything having changed to SQL server 2005. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/columnists/tchapman/complexcomputedcolumns.asp You may want to do a quick web search on SQL Express + Computed Columns T ...Show All

• testorp Does the data warehouse store information about the inner results of ordered tests?

  I have an ordered test that has 3 tests contained inside it. Is it possible to create a report that shows the pass/fail status of these contained tests Or can we only display the results for the top level test Hi Michael, Yes you can create reports about the tests contained within an ordered test. Unfortunately the information about the relationship is only contained in the relational warehouse and not the cube (look at the Result table). If your ordered test looks like this: MyOrderedTest -> fail - Test1 -> pass - Test2 -> fail The warehouse will persist information about each of those three results. Mauli ...Show All

• langev Lots of things seem to not work!

  I have had a number of problems with VB which nobody has been able to solve. Some examples are listed below: 1) File.Encrypt method does not work and generates an error suggesting that my file system is not NTFS. It's properties box states that it is NTFS. 2) I cannot run any program that I publish to work - get an error when I try to run it (even a test program that consistes of a single button which displays a message box when pressed) 3) When dragging a datatable onto a form, the designer sometimes autogenerates code that contains errors and will not compile. 4) I've had problems with bits of code from videos and books that don't work (yes, I've checked and double checked for typos) 5) Strangely, when I post a question to ...Show All

• jsedlak combo boxes

Most of what you need to know is contained in the documentation which comes with VBE. The Help system is very good although some people claim it is hard to use. But for a start try ente ...Show All

• Alex Belik Reporting Services is installed - no it's not!

  Hi, I'm having problems getting passed the 1st hurdle in installing TFS. This will be a dual server install - and it's the data tier that's giving me a bit of grief at present. SQL 2005 (SP1) is installed on Win2003 (SP1). There are two instances of SQL Server on this server, one default instance and one named instance. Obviously, TFS will / should install to the default instance. My problem lies with the fact that the TFS install seems to think that Reporting Services is installed on this default instance. It was - but RS was then removed (I uninstalled it using the SQL Install from add/remove programs and then deleted the RS databases and RSExec roles etc from the SQL Server manually). Reporting Services is installed on the ...Show All

• Shawn Wildermuth - MVP (C#) Newbie Database Question

  If I create a program using a database (with the crappy SQL 2005 Express) would SQL 05 need to be installed on any computer I run it on If so, is there any alternative to created a database without a server This will only be used by a local machine. If not I suppose I will have to code a local DB like program myself. Thanks you shouldnt have to do that at all - if you have problems with SQL Server Express, try posting here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=385&SiteID=1 do make sure you explain in depth the problem you are having and any repro steps too as it helps I would hardly say SQL 2005 is "crappy". yes in order to connect to the dat ...Show All

• kazys conditional rule based visibility of form field

  Hi all, I've set up my TFS and I'm quite satisfied with it. One thing I'm missing is the possibilty to display fields in the form depending on the selected value of another fields. I know that I can toggle the different values with the conditinal rules but I miss the possibility to change whether the field in the form is visible depending on the previous value chosen. Any suggestions Marco Hello Naren, thank you for you help ! We have already experimented with the read-only tag and for the time being this will work for us. The main reason why we would like to make form-fields disappear dynamic is that based on the selection of a certain software-area for a bug work item we need to collect more d ...Show All
