• Alex Pizarro What Code question

  Hello to All: What code would I insert and use to make a message box appear when the user does not select the proper buttons on a form In other words I have a form that has three buttons. Two of the buttons are selection buttons that takes the user to two differnet forms. And the third button also take the user to another form, However I want a message to appear if the user selects the third button first. So in other words the user must select either the first or second button before the user can select the third button. And if the user selects or presses the third button without pressing the first or second button then a message should appear telling that user that they must select the first or second button before they can select the ...Show All

• Rick Strahl Query generator

  Hi Friends, i want to develop a query generator in vb8, how can i go about it. i want it to be a stand alone sw so that i can load it with any database and gnerate the data and then be able to print that data. thanks in advance Rajnesh how exactly do you mean a query generator As well as this, in order to run .NET applications, you NEED to have the appropriate .NET Framework installed on the computer you wish to run the application from. You'd pretty much do it just like Microsoft Access or MS Query does it. A panel where you can drop tables and link their fields so you set the joins. Display the fields in each table with check boxes. Let the user click a checkbox to a ...Show All

• gafferuk "This project is out of date" on Debug Immediately After Successful Build

  When I try to run my application with the debugger, I get a pop up which says: Visual C__ 2005 Express Edition This project is out of date: ProgName - Debug Win32 Would you like to build it [Yes[ [No] [Cancel] [ ] Do not show this dialog again I find this somewhat bothersome, because the very last thing that I did just before that was build the application. And the build did complete successfully (immediately before I clicked on Start Debugging -- F5.) Nevertheless, I've debugged the application and it works OK. But is there a solution to this annoying pop-up Dan The compiler will check the file time on your project, since you pre-build the project before running it, its only informing you that its ...Show All

• AdriaanDavel TFS custom control custom ConfigurationSection config file issue

  I developed a custom control for TFS SP1 workitem tracking. Initially it was not using any external databases or config files or anything fancy and it worked great. Once I switched to using business objects for persisting custom workitem data, I ran into an issue of System.Configuration not being able to load "<dll name> assembly or one of its dependencies" when trying to read a custom section within a custom config file. The assembly listed in the exception is the one that contains the definition of the custom ConfigurationSection (works in regular applications), and that assembly and config file are deployed along with the assebly containing the custom control in the same folder. So, the question is: Is there an ...Show All

• thukralz Custom Controls - anyone working with these?

  Firstly, does anyone else think it would be a good idea to have a forum devoted to TFS Custom Controls Secondly, I'm using Naren's excellent article on custom controls to start building an example, but the IWorkItemControl does not have the same interface as mentioned here (so the code sample does not build). He mentions an AfterUpdateDatasource event and there is no mention of the FlushToDatasource method. Has anyone else been building custom controls How have you implemented the FlushToDatasource method Thanks for getting back to me. I will stop posting to your blog and look here for responses. Here's the info: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Controls.dll = 8.0.50727.147 Micr ...Show All

• Satish33 Setting up Project Alerts by Project Administrators

  It looks to me that project alerts are set by individual users in such a way that if a developer wants to be alerted for any new work items assigned to him/her, he/she will have to set it up on the client he/she is using. Is there a way for project administrators to set up project alerts For example, when a work item is assinged to a user, the user will receive an email alert even if the user has not set up project alert himself. Yes, a project administrator can setup alerts for other users when their items change.
