• Visual Studio Team System Support for workitemtracking/v1.0/clientservice.asmx web service

  There doesn't seem to be any documentation for this web serivce. I've managed to make some progress on it by capturing the HTTP traffic while Team Explorer is making queries and cramming that into a test app, but I've run up against a wall. When I make a call to the PageWorkItemsByIds method both the DataSet returned by the call and the DataSet passed as an out parameter come back empty: data = tfs.PageWorkitemsByIds(ids, columns.ToArray(), textColumns.ToArray(), System. DateTime .Now, false , entries, out ds); And yet if I look at the HTTP traffic I can see the DataSet gets returned from the call. It's not compressed, but the data is there. So how is it being returned What am I missing ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Action does not run

  I am setting up my first deployment project on VB.NET 2005, and I'm running into a problem with custom actions. I have a test custom action that puts up a msgbox. I added that to the Commit phase, built the solution, then ran the install. The custom action did not work. Somewhere I read that is a known bug, and you have to also add the same action to the Install phase, but that it is not active. So I tried that, still it does not run. Thinking maybe you cannot show anything to the user with custom actions, I took out the msgbox, and added a file append. Still nothing. The custom action project runs fine if I run it on it's own (outside of install). I have the custom action project in the current solution. A ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel Edit Delete Disabled

  I created an Excel Workbook project using Visual Studio and VSTO. This project uses the ListObject control bound to a DataTable to display and update data in SQL Server 2000 database. When deployed to the user's workstation, this application has an annoying habit of disabling the Delete item on the Edit menu, preventing the user from deleting columns, rows or cells. Actually this is more than annoying - it's a show stopper. Researching the problem online produced very little in the way of amswers. Are other people seeing this behavior I did find a reference in this forum article: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=309265&SiteID=1 which suggests deleting Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\Excel11.xlb.

• Visual FoxPro appending to a grid

  ok - this is kind of a weird question - is there a way to append to a grid in the background What I would like to do (if it's possible) is to still have functionality to my form while the program is taking the time to append. Does that make sense If so is that possible Forgive my inaccuracies - It's grabbing from an SQL Database and copying to a cursor which is bound to the grid. The basic reason why I need it is b/c when grabbing from larger databases, it's a stand still wait (sometimes up to 3-4 mins if the database is extremely large). I guess a more appropriate question would be how to grab asynchronously and display it like you had said The way it's running right now it waits till the entire thing is loaded and then displays... ...Show All

• Visual C# custom attribute

  Hi is it possible to write a custom attribute that accepts an array of objects as constructor parameter For example, I would like to have an attribute like: public class AuthenticationAttribute : SoapExtensionAttribute { // UserRights is a class containing various data regarding the // "rights" a user has to call methods in the system. private UserRights[] rights; public AuthenticationAttribute(UserRights[] rights) { this.rights = rights; } // ... + other methods for this soap extension attribute ... } But while this in itself will compile, I can't work out how to apply this attribute to methods in other classes....

• Visual Studio Problems with Application.AddMessageFilter() & IMessageFilter in VS Addin

  I’m attempting to hook the message queue with IMessageFilter from within a toolwindow in a VS addin, without success. I’m using Application.AddMessageFilter() to do so. This is in VS 2005. In general, my filter’s PreFilterMessage method is not executed. However, if I put a System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip in the toolwindow, and push the dropdown button to show tools, PreFilterMessage gets called for each message, at least while the mouse is down. Taking a look at ToolStrip, I see that it adds and removes a message filter during this process, and sure enough when I inspect the filters list inside the ThreadContext, I see both my filter and the toolstrip’s filter. I have tried executing AddMessageFilter in various places; at t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook Addins VST2005

  Will outlook add-ins developed using VSTO2005 work the same in Outlook 2007 Thanks, Hrishi It is very hard question and depends on what the add-in does. Consider, that Office 2007 UI has changed dramatically, so if you do have customized CommandBars you might want to read more about how the change to legacy CommandBars are reflected in new UI . Otherwise, the Outlook team has tried to maintain compatibility to the hight possible degree. So, it should work. ...Show All

• SQL Server How can i determine the Queuing_order of a conversation?

  Hi There Is there a DMV or something in the system that can tell me what the current queue message number is for a conversation. I would like to determine what the message queue_order number for a message is before or after i send the message, as i would like to log this information Thank You Order is guaranteed only within a dialog. Sending across multiple dialogs will result exactly in the behavior you observed, because the messages from various dialogs might be shuffled and get ahead of each other during transport. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System permanent delete file from SCC

  I want to know how to permanently delete a file from scc . We have created lots of team projects and files while learning vsts but we dont need them and it is taking space in SCC . as most of files are binaries which does not support differential storage so the useless amount of scc DB is 2GB . so I want to delete it permanently even it can never be recovered . can i do that It would be great if some one can give us pointers to reduce size of SCC DB.
