• Software Development for Windows Vista How to generate the instance of Windows form ?

  I want to generate the insatnce of a window form in the static method of a workflow which is called on the completion of the workflow. I don't think if this is the exact way of how you want to accomplish it -through a static method of a workflow- but what you can do is to start the windows form in the WorkflowCompleted handler in your Main method as in: workflowRuntime.WorkflowCompleted += delegate ( object sender, WorkflowCompletedEventArgs e) { Application .Run( new Form1 ()); waitHandle.Set(); }; Hope this helps Thanks Elif ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can a Work Item Type be disabled?

  I have a situation where work items were migrated from ClearQuest as a "Defect" work item type. I need to prevent new "defects" from being created since we are using the default work items (task, bug, etc) going forward, but I still need to see the old defects for historical purposes. Is there a way to remove the ability to create work items of a specifict type So when I right-click on "work items", and select "Add Work Item", it doesn't show up on the list But then I won't be able to look at the information for history purposes. Can I try something with the workflow maybe I'll give that a try. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Run the VS2005 performance session from cmd line

  VS2005 IDE creates the nice performance session(s) for a given successful test runs. Rather than running these performace sessions thru IDE, is there a way to run the instrumented profile thru a cmd line (ie., after myrun.psess is created in IDE; would like to know if there is a way to use this .psess file with a cmd line tool and collect the profile data). Thanks Vani Vani, This is a request that we've heard before and that we will be considering for the next release. But sadly, the psess files are only for the IDE as of right now. There is no command line tool to run them. Thanks, Ian ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions no subject

  can anyone give me an example as to how to connect and control something from a serial port.....something really simple like a light bulb..... hey maybe this..... I have a teddy bear which runs on batteries when you squeeze his foot he snores.... I would love to connect and control him by the pc any ideas...please Not a parallel cable - a serial port cable. In your original question you writes the serial port, and my answers is based on that. Do you mean the parallel port instead No it does not sound correct! If you want to start the head motor from the PC, you need an output. The serial port cannot drive the motor directly. You need to connect a switching transistor in parallel with the sensor in the teddy bear ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple NTVDM.exe

  I work for a corporation(TimeManagement Corporation) that uses a 16 bit application that runs in the virtual dos machine. Two years ago Microsoft released a security patch(MS04-012) that caused each new 16-bit file to open in it's own ntvdm thus not allowing our 16-bit application to communicate with other files that it calls. We contacted Microsoft about this but it was not taken care of until we posted on a forum. They then released a hotfix(KB841559) to fix this issue. We are now having the same problem with MS Windows Vista and would like to know if we can get a fix for this issue to allow our program to be compatable again. We do have a 32-bit enterprise edition. However we have several large contracts ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project Server Integration

  I read on Brian Harry's latest post: http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2005/10/01/476030.aspx  and he mentioned a small change in the way fields are mapped to MSFT Project... however, has there been any work done in integrating directly with Project Server   I read awhile back that integration was going to be enhanced, just not sure if it made it into TF Beta 3 or not. Thanks, ~slee The user model with Project Server for V1 is to use an .mpp file as the integration point between the two servers (Project Server and Team Foundation Server). As Brian mentioned above, there is no direct server-server integration in the V1 product we will have a starter kit for people who what do do Project Server i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Email and IM alerts to capture problems

  When the December CTP shipped I asked about the availability of forms to allow users to send bug reports and have them inserted directly into a bug database that could be allocated to workers. I was told that they would be in Beta 2 but I can't seem to locate them at all. Could someone direct me to them or have they slipped to a later version Marcel de Vries wrote: Don't know who told you this, but it's not something I have heared of to be in B2. You can implement this yourselve using the Currituck API and that is not that hard to do.

• SQL Server ADO Recordset from SQL Task issue

  Dear Folks, I have a Foreach Loop that enumerates a set of files from an ADO recordset variable which is populated by a preceding SQL task. The query from the task that populates the recordset returns about 200 rows with one varchar field(a file path). The loop is long running, and so far it errors on the connection string populated by the enumeration variable after about an hour. The timeout for the SQL task is set to zero. Could it be the source recordset variable timing out, or could it be that the recordset is too large Thanks, Chris Also, It's definitely not the recordset itself, as I've been able to use the same ADO variable result set to enumerate loops with fewer tasks\are shorter running. Any chance this is a memory leak ...Show All
