• Visual Studio Team System Does TFS support pure Kerberos environments?

  We are setting up a single-server deployment of Team Foundation Server (TFS), let's call that machine OURDOMAIN\TFSSERVER. Clients run Visual Stuido Team System (VSTS) and the client machines belong to the same AD domain. LAN authentication level has been configured with gpedit for all machines, clients and servers, to "Send NTLMv2 response only\refuse LM & NTLM". Further, Minimum session security for NTLM has been set to require "message integrity", "message confidentiality", "NTLMv2 session security" and "128-bit encryption". Unix servers manage Kerberos. 1) Is the above configuration supported by TFS (i.e. running TFS in a pure Kerberos ne ...Show All

• Windows Forms autocomplete AND dropdownlist combobox

  I want to give the user the functionality of the autocomplete, allowing them to enter one or more letters and receive a list of possible entries, whilst also ensuring that the user can only select an item from the list and not type any old thing. I know that I cannot use the dropdownlist list option along with autocomplete, but how can I make sure that the user does not enter invalid data Basically, at all times during the edit process, I want the data in the combo to be valid, so if a user enters invalid data, maybe the previously selected entry should be selected Whatever works best. I want to have the functionality of both autocomplete and dropdownlist. How would I do this same thing in VB.net The ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is there any way to use my own usercontrol as RootComponent of DesignSurface?

  As I know, Form, UserControl and Component can be used as RootComponent of DesignSurface. but, I'd like to make a new custom usercontrol and adjust it as RootComponent.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) cliext::unary_delegate<A,R> can't be adapted to void-function

• SQL Server What DataType is best ... float, double or decimal?

  I am using sql express 2005 and sql server 2005 with C# 2.0. I am a bit confused about which data type i should be using for several fields. Right now I am declaring all of my fields in sql server as float for everything except for money fields which are using money. When loaded into C# these fields are converted to double and decimal because C# does not have a float datatype. Should I be using Decimal or Double for everything instead Here are a few examples QtyInvoiced (float) - holds the number of items invoice possible values look like this 1.0, 1.25 or 1.5 PercentDiscount (float) - holds a percentage possible values look like this 10.25, 20.50, 50.00 I appreciate the help. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Javascript actions in coded web test not working correctly

  After reading the white paper of Josh ‘ Web Test Authoring and Debugging technique’ , I figured out that I could mimic the JavaScript action of a ‘ add to cart’ button for our product. Hence I coded my web test and included the following piece of code in the appropriate section request9Body.FormPostParameters.Add( "btnFinish" , "Add to Cart" ); There was already another ‘formpostparameters.add’ just prior to that in the same request. request9Body.FormPostParameters.Add( "Body" , "&Anthem_UpdatePage=true&__EVENTTARGET=btnFinish&__EVENTARGUMENT=&__VIEWSTATE=%2Fw" + However, this did not make any difference to the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get(set) cursor position in my service before logon?

  Hello, I noticed that an interactive service cannot run in vista any more. This issue is good to security, but bad news for me using an interactive service. My service is simple and needs only 2 functions - one is getting cursor position and the other is setting cursor position. These 2 functions can be implemented through one other user application after user logon. But before user logon, how can I do this job Thank you in advance.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite scaling and blending

  OK, I've searched through a couple posts here and didn't find anything that fixed the problem. I'm scaling sprites to draw GUI controls and I'm getting funky results. Here's what I get (blown up 6x to show the problem). I'm drawing the box in chunks - upper left 4x4 pixels, upper right 5x5 pixels, left border, right border, lower left 4x4 and right 5x5 pixels, and upper and lower middle sections.I don't think I have to explain what the problem is.  I've tried setting texture filtering, destination blending, but nothing seems to affect it. Here's the sprite I'm using to draw. Maybe I just need to get some sleep. I don't understand why I'm getting that bleed though. The pixels next to the source rect shouldn't have any effect IMO ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Standardized Full-Screen Fade In and Fade Out Solution

  hi, i've implemented an enhanced Screen class that does full-screen fade-ins and fade-outs automatically -- all a derived class must do is call a function and accomodate for the wait-time of any fades it invokes. i *strongly* feel that this kind of thing should be included in the XNA samples or the architecture itself, but since it's not, i did one myself. (hindsight) this post turned into more than i intended. it's more of a tutorial now, hehe... but get through it, and you'll have easy fade-ins/outs in no time. anyway, here's what i did -- hope it helps someone... NOTE: i'm a prototype developer, so comments are not my thing and the code may be incomplete and/or have bugs that i don't see at this early stage. i know i reformatted the tab ...Show All
