• LKeene Solution Explorer peculiarity

  Hello, Certain Team Foundation Server Source Control commands do not show up in the left-mouse-click menu list in the Solution Explorer window. As far as I could see, he has "View History", "Unshelve Pending Changes" but not "Checkout for Edit..". It appears to be a setup issue but I cannot find anything different in his setup but it could also be the solution file's format. Also, some of the items in the Solution Explorer window have a little lock icon beside it, others have a members (or a little person) icon and still others have no icon. Can you tell me what they mean. In fact, is there anywhere one can go to get help with solution explorer The context help does not help much. Thanks, Maggie ...Show All

• fabianus Problem with shelving

  I've encountered a small problem with shelving.   Here's a scenario I  Am working with studio 2003 and using TFS as source control . I have a console app project with 1 class (Class1) Lets say I add a new class (Class2) and then check in class2. Now ,I open the class for edit and do some code. I then do shelve to the entire project . after that I undo changes in order to get back to the last checked in version. The problem is that the "Undo check in" removes the Class2 from the project . This is normal behavior but why is that when I do UnShelve to the project from TFS I still see Class2 . The UnShelve gets back the changes I did in other classes but the Class2 is gone for good.   I would expe ...Show All

• Honza N How to make a simple function

  Hi, I was wondering if there is anyway to turn a huge amount of code into a simple function. Right now I have a bunch of check boxes and they are all named C1-C7 and W1-W7, instead of putting in code for each one when clicked, which results in a large amount of code, is there anyway I could make one function to handle all of these. I tried something like this. If C(num).checked=true then W(num).checked=false endif its just a basic example of what i want and i could really use this later on. Thanks LOL, dont worry, i saw it and thanks again. Cool, I have learned a lot today, thank you for all the help. ...Show All

• Bogdan.B Another "Which TFS to buy?"

  I have to put together for my manager a list of which products to buy for a group of 10 developers, one of whom also does double-duty as an architect. Reading all the product comparisons and pricing is confusing, to say the least. I know I need TFS. That's a given. My issue is with all the VSTS role-versions and the respective cost. What is the best (read: least expensive) combination of products that will give us full TFS functionality How does VS2005 Pro with a TFS CAL compare to VSTS for Developers Do I really need to buy the full VSTS for Developers for each developer Each of those licenses comes with MSDN Premium. Why would I want a copy of MSDN for every developer OK, enough of the stream of consciousness. It would be great ...Show All

• tdevine want to add Barcode Reader in my Application

  Hi friends i want to include a BarCode reader in my application. how can i add that in my application please guide me thanks in advance rajnseh In addition to what Brendan said, many readers work just like a keyboard and will put the value read in the currently selected box. The details of how it works depend on the vendor and their API's. Jim Wooley http://devauthority.com/blogs/jwooley Using a bar code reader in your application would depend on what kind of reader you want to use and how it's software/drivers make the read data available. I'd suggest starting by looking into any kind of SDK that is available from the manufacturer of the part first. ...Show All

  Well ive made my application added a axwindowsmediaplayer, and made the video work, the only problem i have is the user has to have the video in the exact same place i did, is there anway i can make my video built in with the exe You could package it with the application, and use relative paths.

When I set my application to load the movie I know my it is running from Application.StartupPath and can refer the m ...Show All
