  I use the following code in my program to add some labels: Dim l As Label For i As Integer = 0 To 10 l = New Label l.Name = "LabelDay" & i.ToString l.Text = "Day" + i.ToString l.Top = 88 + (i * 20) l.Left = 5 l.AutoSize = True l.Visible = True Me.Controls.Add(l) Next i Now I want to remove them with: For Each c As Control In Me.Controls If TypeOf c Is Label Then Me.Controls.Remove(c) End If Next For some reason I have to run the remove function several times. Why doesn't my script remove all labels at once The reason it doesn't work is that as you remove controls from the collection the collection re-organ ...Show All

• asilter Using iterations in MS Project

  I have a project that we have recently migrated into TFS. I am trying to use MS Project to schedule/track my work items, and I am having a problem with the iterations. It seems to me that an iteration, in Project, should be a rollup of a number of subtasks, but I can't seem to get them to show up this way. Is there some way of doing this, or am I not understanding how iterations should be used TIA Ron L Hi Ron, Contact me directly. I'll send you some more information on this. The first eight letters of my first and last name at Microsoft.com. Cheers, Randy Miller MSF Hi Ron, Use "group by" and chose "iteration path" as the variable.

• Przemek G. error trying program on other pc

  Hi I've got a program. It has 1 source file (.cpp) and 1 header file(.h). When I compile on my local machine the program works just fine, but when I try it on another pc I get the error that somethings wrong with the configuration of the program and that it can't be run. I have .net framework 1 till 2 installed and the microsoft visual C++ 2005 redistibutable on the other pc. Anyone know what I need to do to make it work (and is it normal that my compiles program is smaller then my source code (.cpp and .h file together) ) Thanks in advance.

• Thomas Werner I lost the Registration Key

  I have had Visual Studio express for almost a year now, and when I downloaded it I, of course, procrastinated the registration. Now, it tells me that I have 26 days to register. This wouldn't normally be a problem except for the fact I lost the key. Is there a way to find the old one or obtain a new one without having to re-download it over or something like that Thanks! ~Dariusz never had to register anything. You should have downloaded the CD image and burned your own installation disk. From the registration FAQ at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/register/faq/ 9.

• Emily Fong TF53010 / TF14055 error

  I upgraded our TFS environment from RC1 to RTM last week and have to say that it went extremely smoothly. The entire upgrade (Dual Tier environment) took around 1.5 hours. Much nicer than my B3R to RC1 experience :) I did run into a few "glitches" that I've been working through. Two seem to have been preexisting issues, another was apparently a change in a developer's directory structure that I had to "help" troubleshoot. The final hurdle I'm trying to overcome appears to be some kind of authentication issue. Here's a sample of what I'm seeing in the event log on the AT machine (names changed to protect the innocent ) Event Type: Warning Event Source: TFS Version Control Event Category: None Event ID: 6008 Da ...Show All

  Hey, how can i view the source code on a webbrowser what doesnt work you need to be specific :-) Any errors if not then what doesnt work what are you trying to do View the source code of the current page in the webbrowser control if so, you will need to store the source code in some way such as save it to disk or something.

• alpefusk [custom control] has a circular reference!

  I have a web app that was originally developed in VS 7/.NET 1 and has ran for some time without any issues. I recently imported the code into VS 8 TFS and have been stumped by one error.
