• djshades2004 Publish ClickOnce project with Team Build?

  Does anyone have any examples of how to create a Team Build BuildType that publishes the project similiar to the way you manually do it in visual studio I already have the BuildType created and working (it gets kicked off on a schedule). I've also created a BeforeDropBuild task that does GenerateApplicationManifest and GenerateDeploymentManifest that also works. This was a bit confusing -- when the BuildType is run not through the GUI many of the properties don't exist and most of the examples appear to assume they would. Anyway, these steps work in that the build does not fail. Somehow I need to publish the manifest I suppose, but I can't find any examples of how to do it. I'm not even sure I know the right questions to ask. Any help w ...Show All

• Jakein2006 COM registration fails in VS2005

  In my setup project for a COM wrapper project the COM registration is not occurring. During the build and installation process no errors are listed or occur, everything appears to go successfully. When I run Excel, which creates an instance of the wrapper object, I get the "can't create object" error at the point where the code creates a new instance of the object - Set x = New MyComWrapperObject. I've tried all of the tricks/tips that I could find - removing the project output and manually adding the files, making sure that both the .tlb and .dll have the proper COM registration settings (vsdrfCOM and vsdraCOM respectively), making sure that "Register for COM Interop" is checked, the COM wrapper class has a valid As ...Show All

• Ravishesh Can't bind txtBox.AutoCompleteCustomSource to My.Settings.MyCustomSource

  It appears that I am not able to bind the AutoCompleteCustomSource of a Windows TextBox to a User settings property that I establish with a Type of System.Windows.Forms.AutoCompleteStringCollection.
