• slimcode Data Driven Unit Test question

  There has to be an easy way to do this but for some reason I cannot find it. We have 6 different responses that we are expecting back for the data we send. We want to be able to adjust the distribution between the responses so I have seperated the data into 6 different tables and created 6 methods. The problem is that if I use the Data Driven aproach in the samples it runs through all the data in the table every time the test runs. I only want one set of data each time but still want to go through each row before repeating. Is there a way to setup the DataSource/DataAccessMethod to grab only 1 new row each time the test is ran instead of grabbing all the rows Eventually we are going to be using a 32 client load for an 8 hour perio ...Show All

• Will Durning Copy Protection/Demo Disk

  Good Day, as a beginner I learned from a lot of you in this forum and wish to thank all of you who have help. Because of your help I have completed by first program and learn how to deploy onto a CD using ClickOnce. Where I need help understanding next is how do I build a demo disk the will either limit the number of entries or a time expire method so that the client will need to purchase a upgrade and how do I copy protect the software so that it can’t be copied to other machine. I have read a lot of the forums commits but most of them seem to suggest using third party software. I would like to learn how to do write code for these things for myself. Any suggestion on which way or what reading material can lead me in the ...Show All

• stephanielauym Set default value for Sytem.AreaPath

  Within our project we are working with a third party for implementation of a specific module. We want to use TFS workitem tracking to track bugs in this module. Employees of this company should be able to see all work items submitted to them or assigned by them. In our previous tracking system, I could set permissions on queries, so that they could only run the queries we defined for them. In TFS I wanted to use the security permissions on the AreaPath field, but the problem is that it is not possible to make this field required or to set it automatically using a COPY or DEFAULT rule. So in order to obtain the required result, someone has to set the AreaPath manually for all submitted work items, which is off course not very practicle. Is ...Show All

• m.a.fuchs VB Express minor screwups/bugs

  first, i dont know if this is in the right place.... but here are some minor things to be fixed (or not) in VB express: 1. there might be a spelling mistake on label's properties toolbox - Is it supposed to be fontcolor or forecolor becuase it changes the text color. 2. Somewhere in a properties toolbox (i forget which one. I'll edit if i find it again) where there is a + to open a drop down box that has more things to edit, but when u click it it just disapears and nothing drops sown and appears... These are some minor errors that you might want to fix 1) no, its correct. changing the textcolor will be FontColor not forecolor because you are changing the color of the font Its the opp ...Show All

• Rainadaman Question about the EULA

  Hello. I'd just like to ask, is the EULA just an agreement between the maker of software and the user, or is it actually a legal thing if it is a legal thing, how do you get it Am asking because as am still new to programing I dun't fully understand it, and av still got a lot to learn. Than you. It is a legal thing between you the programmer (user of Visual Studio) and Microsoft. The permissive license can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/eula.aspx id=be66e254-3b65-40d9-9210-c63b3bc5c1da I make no legal representation...however in a nutshell Microsoft gives you the right to develope and distribute any program that you create not withstanding any 3rd party or ...Show All

• KBar II Issues list on Team Portal not updated - possible bug?

  Hello, A work item was updated with a new assignee but when I looked at the Issues List on the Team Portal, the change was not updated. Was there something else that needed to be done to get the Team Portal Issues List updated or is this a bug Maggie I checked the Issues List on the Team Portl hours after the change and realized that the Issues List did get updated. What I don't know is how long does it normally take for the Issues List to refresh to the new changes and if the user need to exit out of Team Portal, or even Team Foundation all together to get the updates.

• Blue_Cali Feature requests

  Hi, We're using TFS quite a bit and even though we're a small (5 people) dev team, we get a lot out of it. Here are 2 feature requests we'd like: #1: Send work item by email -- This would be in the File dropdown menu or a button somewhere in the WI record and would send an HTML version of all pertinent fields and change history to an email address from our exchange server. #2: Scheduled nightly builds built in to TFS. We're using task scheduler as it stands, but it would be very convenient to have this integrated into Team Build somehow. Thanks, JonS JonS Thanks for the feedback. I have passed on your feature requests to the respective teams. Thanks! ...Show All

• Bill Baker Publishing to a free webserver?

  i just finished making a program and now i want to publish it to a free bravenet webserver... i keep getting errors and i dont know what is wrong.. could someone please try this for me and give me directions on how to make it work... or let me know if this is even possable... I'm not sure that it's possible. I am sure of a couple of things, for serving a published project, I'm very sure it needs to be served from a Microsoft platform because execution is involved. This is not necessarily so for the components of a Setup Project which is an excutable and an .msi file. I can take an msi file and make a page link to to it anywhere and it will install on a microsoft system. An example of this is www ...Show All
