• Visual Studio Team System How to specify a placeholder for the name of a GLOBALLIST used in a WIT?

  We want to implement a process template for various projects based on one TFS. Several field values in our WITs should be filled up by global lists which could easily be updated afterwards. But ... the lists for each project should be filled with different values (e.g. different product versions, different supported operating systems, different customers, ...). And ... we want to maintain one process template for all our projects. Is there any chance to specify something like e.g. "GLOBALLIST: [Project] Versions" as a suggested value in our WIT With user groups it is possible to specify e.g. "[Project]\Developers" Thanks for any feedback... Could we perhaps expect to get this "feature" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Accessing web text box

  I am making a program that automates the downloading of a file from a website of one of our providers. There is a login page which I can load up on Form1_Load() which has a user name and password box. Looking at the source code, these are called : document.forms[0].userName.value = ""; document.forms[0].password.value = ""; There is also a submit button : input type="submit" value="Go" How do I access these I want to push a button that enters the username and password and then hits the Go button and effectively submits the data. Any clues be sure you check the values/objects you are going to be working on to make sure that they are not null, otherwise you will get the exception (nullref) To ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Compare local file date time shows as 1/1/0001 12:00am?

  When you compare local file to server file that date time shows up for the local time... why Why wouldn't it be time the file was edited or time of the last version you had in your workspace Is that expected Thanks Usually it's the time of your workspace version. I suspect this comes from cases where there is no workspace version. Examples would be pending add, pending branch, cloaked file, etc. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to pre-fetching object graphs using VB Syntax?

  I see posts and other examples in C# for pre-fectching object graphs. I do not see any VB examples.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can I use the System.Net namespace?

  I'm making a Client Server application from a book that uses the System.Net.Sockets namespace and when I compiled it from the command line using csc with no options it compiled fine, but when I try to compile with Visual C# .NET 2005 Express edition it can't find the System.Net.Sockets namespace and I tried adding the reference but I can't find it. Can someone explain the situation Thanks in advance. A reference to System.dll is enough to get access to the System.Net.Sockets classes. Perhaps you need to add this to the top of your source code file: using System.Net.Sockets; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to go from Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Application to Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document (VSTO v3)

  I have downloaded and played with the VSTO v3 CTP. Am I missing something I can't figure out a way to go from Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Application to Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Document or the other way around. Document.Application returns a M.O.I.Word.Application and Application.ActiveDocument returns a M.O.I.Word.Document. It not only blocks me for something I want to do but it also seems counterintuitive. You have two seemingly very interrelated objects that aren't actually related in any way. I'm not sure what the new Application object buys me over the old Interop version from a programming perspective. I understand all of the cool features from a deployment and management perspective. I am very excited about the new managed ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Deployment of VTSO solution developed in C#

  Hi, I have been using Microsoft .Net 2003 (C#) and VBA to develop solutions for Microsoft Office 2003. Basically it is a user-template based solution. I want to migrate to Microsoft .Net 2005 and use VTSO to develop the solution for Microsoft Office (2003 and upwards....). It will be a Shared-Addins type of solution. (all the solution are for desktop-winforms) I want to know whether I need to deploy Office PIA to the user's machine when deploying the VTSO solution All the possible solutions are welcome. Also, Please suggest If there is a more better solution in VTSO other than Shared Addins Thanks Padmabhushan I recommend that you do not use the Shared Addins. Instead you need VSTO 2005 SE to create Addins f ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How to copy one column to another

  Hi all, I would like to copy a column that has prices (fprice) for parts in it to another column within the same table.  Then I am going to do a replace on the original column (fprice) to increase the price by a fixed amount (I know how to do that).  The table has a column that is not used for anything (by us) within the application.  It is a User Character 3 field (fcusrchr3).  I need to do this so our CFO can look back at the old pricing if need be.  Any help copying the column would be greatly appreciated.  FYI, this is in Visual Foxpro 6. Thanks, Erik FYI scope clause "ALL" that is found in many commands like replace,delete etc are an easy way ...Show All

• SQL Server please check this trigger

  Apparently I could not insert a text field to another table from INSERTED in a trigger. It seems the following is working, do you see any problem joining INSERTED to the mySrcTable which is the table that has this trigger INSERT INTO myRemoteDatabase.dbo.myDestTable (myTrID,myFirstName,myBigText) SELECT i.myTrID, i.myFirstName, p.myBigText FROM INSERTED i INNER JOIN mySrcTable p ON i.myTrID = p.myTrID WHERE (i.myTrType = 'In') Thanks, What type of database is MyRemoteDatabase It may be that the driver does not support the text format. If this is the case you can try casting the text field as a varchar. Note you would loose any thing over 8000 characters. ...Show All
