• Hayashida Application to generate MS Word document?

  Is it possible for a C++ application to generate the MS Word *.doc files For example, if I had a form with two text boxes and a button on it. When the button is clicked, would it be possible for the program to make a new MS Word document that has a 2 cell table with the text box values in each cell, and save this Word file to the current directory If so, any pointers to the libraries to use or whatever tools I would need would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Hi. You wrote there : Word::_DocumentPtr document = application->Documents->Add(&vtMissing, &vtMissing, &vtMissing, &varFalse); // do some more stuff here to create tables and cells // save doc ...Show All

• Joshizzle Grouping Sprint backlog items

  Is it possible to group Spring backlog items in a hierarchical manner When we used only Excel to create a backlog - we would have a "header" category and then group associated tasks under that. Any suggestionos on ow to do that in VSTS Thanks - Maris Maris, Unfortunately there is no built in way to really do this in V1. This is something that we are looking to address in future releases - being able to create hierarchies and expose them in Excel for example, and maintain that hierarchical relationship (like parent-child relationships) when refreshing/publishing from/to TFS. For now you could use the suggestion I posted here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1005963 ...Show All

• DreamingBear File content mash-up

  Hello, We're just about to migrate to TeamSystem from Visual SourceSafe, and we had the following problem twice: We migrate files manually (get from VSS, add in TS), and with two files (in different projects), the content of the file was changed. The first file was an XML file which ended up with a C# class definition. In the other case, an include file was transformed into a Registry file (like the ones RegEdit create). The content of both files are the same as other, unrelated files within TeamSystem. To clarify: The file names were not changes, but the content, to something entirely different and unrelated. Has anybody else experienced this The first time we just thought of some sort of awkward human mistake, but not twice. Very strange ...Show All

• fishy_swa BindingManagerBase Position_Changed Problem

  Hey Everyone, I have a program that has several textboxes bound to 1 dataset which contains only one table. When the form loads, the data is displayed in the textboxes allowing the user to add, edit, delete, etc., as well as navigate through previously entered records. However, when trying to navigate through the records, it doesn't do anything. The recordCountLabel, which keeps track of the record number that is displayed, changes, but the first record stays on the screen. Here is a little of my code. Protected Enum Record RecordNum DDate Shift ATO Vehicle End Enum Private Sub Form_Load( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase .Load 'Loads data into the 'TripSheetI ...Show All

• Brendan Stewart Validation rule> required tag. Problems

  Hi all. Our company is soon to adopt VSTS. I am currently exploring the testing section. I am using a Validation Rule to look for a required tag. I have tried multiple tags including <a> (and simply 'a' believing that the <> may have confused the parser) and every time I run the test against the page, the test fails and indicates that the tag does not appear. I have verified that the tags do indeed exist in the response. Also, when I try to use Required Tag against and XML response I get: Object reference not set to the instance of an object Finally, we do work with AJAX. In order to validate the information getting sent to the browser I expect I will need t inspect the DOM. Is that possible Thanks for any help. Eigen ...Show All

• kangalert Performance Profiler - OutOfMemoryException

  When attempting to profile our application (consists of console application and several class libraries - all C#), I get an OutOfMemoryException thrown almost immediately upon startup. The application runs just fine outside the profiler (standalone or in the debugger). Normal memory usage of the process typically sits in the mid-20MB range, so nothing out of the ordinary going on... Any thoughts as to what might cause this -Adam Ian, Thanks again for your response (and sorry for my delay again - I KNOW I told it to alert me on replies, but I am sure not getting anything...) Incidentally, work on this project is temporarily on hold (probably for another week or so) and I have been diverted to ...Show All

• OscarKwok I really didn't understand why branching would lost history?

  I think this is a bad decision about TFS. To keep the history, I have to take a "MOVE". In other words, in addition to "MOVE", what else can I do to make a branch with original history Thx in advance. Nobody gives me some ideas The history issue troubled me for long time :-( Hello, we know that this is weakness of history command (it doesn't follow branches). In v1 you can use tfpt history (unfortunatelly no gui provided). We are also investigating adding this feature in the next versions of tfs. Please keep in mind that move and branch are quite different (I don't say that there are no case when you can't use both of them) - with branch you creat ...Show All

And on deployment issue's am I correct in thinking : Access Way: consumer only needs to install .net framwork 2.0. Mysql Way: consumer needs to install .net framework 2.0 & Mysql Server If you are using a database for more than one user, then you should use a database (engine) designed for the purpose (it wasn't clear from your posting what your intentions were/are).
