• Andy Hough How do I 'hide' a deleted item so it doesnt get counted in TFS metrics such as code churn

  I have a Team Project that contains several solutions. One of the solutions did not migrate properly and had to be deleted. The delete was performed using the client source control tools in visual studio. The solution has been removed but it appears that the code churn calculations are still taking into account the deleted project. For example, I currently show that I have -980,000 lines of code since I deleted the solution from source control. My question is, how can I permanently remove a solution from inside of a Team Project container without deleting the whole container I know the entire container can be removed via the tfsdeleteproject tool but I dont think that applies here. Thanks, Kevin ...Show All

• nidionys Form Questions

  Hi, I am having trouble with a timer application i am making. I need to make the form central to the x axis, wahtever the resolution, but the y axis must always be at "0". Also, i would like to change the blinking cursor which you type from in a text box to a green square instead of the traditional line. any helop on this would be appreciated. Any Help would be good Thanks Jamie I don't see why not. Start a 50 msec interval timer on the GotFocus event, stop it on the LostFocus event. In the Tick event handler, play with the color or the size of the caret. Thanks alot, that really helped, just one other question... I would like to be able to press any return bu ...Show All

• &#59;lkj&#59;lk Anti-Cracking Packers?

  Not to beat a dead horse, but after reading some of the threads about decompiling and the abundance of tools such as Reflector, I am just looking for some opinions. I am a newbie coder and just learning and through various googles on various topics, I've seen companies that claim to produce .exe packers that either prevent or make decompiling/cracking a vb or any .net application harder to do. Anyone ever try any of these Would anyone try one of these things I beleive you are refering to code obfuscators. I would only use them for extremely proprietary procedures, but even then, they can be inferred due to the nature of IL. If you want to completely hide your processes, used unmanaged code or perfo ...Show All

• George2 Report Lines of Code Team Project

  Hi, is there a way to make a report of all the coding lines within a team project thanks! regards Simon Hi Simon, Yes you can! You can use the "Total Lines" measure and slice it by "Team Project = <your project>" in the cube. Please let me know if you need additional guidance. mauli Thanks Simon for your input! Hi Simon, The total lines is calculated for all lines in the file, not just lines with text on them. Unfortunately there isnt a way to go around this. Could you tell me a bit more about your requirement for reporting on lines of code, so that we can see if we can incorporate that into our planning Mauli ...Show All

• JohnCronin AutoIncrementing UniqueIdentifier column in SQL databse table giving NoNullAllowedException!

  Visual Basic 2005 Express: In my SQL database table, I have a CustomerNbr column. In Database Explorer's table definition it has "UniqueIdentifier" as it's data type, and is set as the PrimaryKey. In the XSD Designer, this field is set as the primary key, AutoIncrement=True. DefaultValue is <DbNull>, but, it won't let me remove this!

• John C MCSD code not associated with a button

  I need to have code that collectes UDP frames from another computer (port 1234). I found some examples but the code is not part of a button. I have yet to find anything telling me how to add code that is not associated with a button. The code example is here: http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/Silence_Socket.asp But it does not tell me where in the project/solution to put it.

• April m if statement

  Hi, Can you please let me know what is wrong with the following if statement I believe the following values should make the statement to show the messagebox. Do you agree Thanks intPosHomeUS= -1 intPosHostUS= 7 intPosHomeUK= 7 intPosHostUK= -1 if (!(intPosHomeUS > 0 && intPosHomeUK > 0) || (intPosHomeUK > 0 && intPosHostUS > 0)) { //show messagebox... } else { //print report... } Yeah. It looks like a typo to me. I'm not a compiler, but I'd say "intPosHostUK is assigned a value, but never used" Double check your expression and let us know... I agree. And it does. Be sure to post your exact code. !(intPosHomeUS > 0 && intPosHomeUK > ...Show All

  Hi, I'm able to filter based on a date range. The problem is that I can't find a way to add the Date dimension to the list of column returned by the dataset. In other words, I want to return a list of work item that is filtered based on a "from date" and "to date" and have the date of each work item records in the returned list.

• nghianghesi Build .vbp in Express Edition

  I have several files, .frm, .txt, .vbp which were created from the old Visual Studio (licenced copy). Howver, the installation cd is lost and therefore, I can't install on my machine. Recently, I installed the Visual Basic Express Edition. I made some changes to the codes on the .frm file with the express edition. When I tried to build/compile, the build button is disabled. Why is that so P.S I'm a newbie in visual basic. The format of the files and language itself has changed between early versions of VB and the current version. My thouhgt is that you would need to run you project through the upgrade wizard to turn a VB project built using an older version of the product into a VB 2005 proje ...Show All
