• Visual Studio Team System Want to only send email on a specific Build Type

  Im having trouble finding where an email is sent on the status of a build using build types. My goal is to send an email on the status of only one build type to everyone in our engineering department. Can anyone point me to where I can restrict email notification to only one build type in a team project Thanks, staffan You would need to use the bissubscribe utility and specify a filter. I haven't done this for builds, but here's an example for work item tracking alerts: http://blogs.msdn.com/psheill/archive/2006/02/01/522386.aspx .

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO SE2005 CustomTaskPane Samples...

  I have seen a couple of examples suggesting the following code, private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { CustomTaskPane ctp = this.CustomTaskPanes.Add(new UserControl1(), "My Caption"); ctp.Visible = true; } but something weird is happening because my "this" object doesn't have a CustomTaskPanes property and I don't seem to have visibility of the CustomTaskPane class. I have added "using Microsoft.Office.Tools" to ThisAddIn.cs and I have read that I need to add a reference to Microsoft.Office.Tools.Common2007.dll, and this seems to fix the visibility to CustomTaskPane class but not the application object. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to maintain data consistency?

  Our server application performs transactional table updates to maintain data consistency. Synchronization framework, however, enumerates inserts, updates and deletes in separate queries, so it is possible for server application to perform several updates inbetween, which leads to inconsistent data on the client (to simulate this you can insert a delay into SyncProgress event handler). Is there a way to command framework to lock tables during synchronization Good News! SQL Server 2005 SP2, shipped yesterday, has a simple fix for the consistency issue. Check out all the details here . Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Solution Events does not trigger properly

  Hi, I tried to capture 'solution open' event and the 'solution before close' event using the Applition Object Model. It did not work when I first connect the Add-in and then open the solution, but it works fine when I first open the solution and then connect the Add-In. I went through the Connect.cs but I could not find any reason for this. Any idea why is this happening Best regards, Imesh Hi Carlos, Thank you very much for your reply. I saw that article you said before but I didn't thought it will affect this scenario since it worked perfectly when I first open the solution (before connecting the add-in). Anyway thanks again! I will try your solution. Best regards, Imesh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Performance: ASP.NET Client

  I'm trying to compare performance of WCF services (recent release) with ASMX webservices in the scenario when service is called from ASPX page, under load (hundreds of concurrent users). Here is the client code in aspx.cs: MyServiceCleint proxy = new MyServiceClient(); proxy.MyTestMethod(); proxy.Close(); MyTestMethod() here doesn't really do anything, just a stub that returns an empty string; WCF security is disabled - so there should be no extra overhead. WCF service is hosted in IIS. It seems like WCF service performs much worse than similar ASMX service - WCF is more than hundred times slower ( !). I have tried different modes/settings such as ConcurrencyMode, InstanceContextMode and Throttling as described here: http:/ ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Rendered Event ( not OnRender() )

  Can we get an OnRendered Event. That is something to tell us that the rendering of an object is finished Here is the case I am running into. We have to create bitmaps of many layouts where each layout consistes of a number of WPF objects that have animations associated with them. To create a bitmaps of the final state of a layout, we load the objects onto the layout and then seek or skip to the end of all of the animations. Then we can snapshot the layout. The problem is that at least for video animations, we have no idea when the surface is in a state to be snapshotted. If we attch a Completed event and do a begin and a skiptofill on an animation, when that completed event is called we cannot snapshot the layout. It is not done or m ...Show All

• Visual C++ Read access violation when buffer bigger than 2048

  Hello, I'm an old mainframe assembler programmer and I'm trying to teach myself C++. I've bungled through writing a program to copy a file (just to get familiar with I/O. The program works fine when variable BuffSiz is 2048 or smaller. If it's bigger, I can't even start debugging.

• Visual C++ detecting ctrl+s

  Am doing windows sdk programming. am creating a notepad. Which msg(WM_KEYDOWN or WM_CHAR) is generated when i press (ctrl+s) and how do i detect it Sam Hobbs wrote: the answer is: Both! Both WM_KEYDOWN and WM_CHAR messages are generated for Ctrl-S. Just apparently (as a final effect), because Sam Hobbs wrote: there is good documentation about the keyboard and messages and such in the SDK documentation which states that MSDN wrote: The WM_CHAR message is posted to the window with the keyboard focus when a WM_KEYDOWN message is translated by the TranslateMessage function. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How Do I Get Svcutil to Generate Correct Endpoint Addresses in my Client?

  So I'm trying to get svcutil to generate the correct endpoint addresses in my client. It's possible for me to do so by standing up the service and then generating the proxy from the URL that the service is running at. What I would like to do, however, is to generate the client without ever running the service. Currently I am doing this by running svcutil in two passes: first I get the metadata from the assembly, then I generate the proxy from the metadata created in the first pass. Unfortunately, the endpoint information contained in the config associated with my assembly seems to not make it into the client (of course, I can't think of how it'd pick the right endpoint if I had multiple anyway...). So I guess my question is: is there any w ...Show All

• .NET Development SQLDataReader.GetOrdinal() fails rarely with IndexOutOfRange

  Hi everybody, We were developed some Web-Services that run against SQL Server 2000 with SQLDataReader that executing Stored Procedures in the DB. Most of time (95%) everything is running well, but sometimes (when exactly, we don't know) the same WebService that worked 200 times, fail.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Strange shader optimization bug.

  I have a shader that gives me incorrect output when I compile the shader with optimizations but when I use the flag D3DXSHADER_SKIPOPTIMIZATION the shader operates as expected. The shader is extremely simple and I can't work out what could possibly going wrong. Are there any known issues with shader optimization This is using the August 2006 DirectX SDK but also happens with previous SDKs.. MiggyE, I recently had a similar problem with a very simple shader. I turned off the vertex shader optimizations, and then the vertex shader worked correctly. I've recently had problems getting the shader to do anything with the alpha channel - if I set the pixel shader color RGBA alpha channel output to 0.0, ...Show All
