• Visual Studio Team System Build with tests fails with no indication of where

  I have setup two builds on my TFS project - one to run when code is checked in that only verifies that the code will build, and one to be run automatically that will run our tests. The first build appears to work correctly, but when I run the second (from my VS) it fails. When I look at the BuildLog.txt file, I can't see any failures, and the build results in VS show red "X"s next to the "Running tests" and "Running tests for Any CPU/Debug" entries. I have looked at this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=673795&SiteID=1 and based on that tried installing VS Test edition on the build machine, with no change in the results. I am running Team Suite on my machine. Can anyone ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions template link errors

  I've been looking for a solution for this all day now, and it's driving me crazy. I have a C++ couple of C++ template classes that I'm using in a test executable for a DLL I built. The templates are used in the DLL as well, but in all cases that I use it, to avoid errors, I have all the template code in the header, so when it's included all the code is available for the compiler to do the type resolutions. When I build the DLL, it compiles and links just fine. However, when I build the executable, I get unresolved token and unresolved external symbol errors for the template, but only for the one that I use in the executable, not for the ones used in the DLL. I have tried to change the type temporarily to int and have copied and p ...Show All

• Windows Forms redistribute clickonce application

  Hello all I'm still struggeling with redistribution of ClickOnce Apps to be hosted and deployed on customers computers. I found a message from June 2005 saying that there will be a recommended practices doc on howto redistribute Clickonce applications available soon. ( http://blogs.msdn.com/saurabh/archive/2005/06/28/433403.aspx ) Unfortunately, I havn't found soumething like that yet. The biggest problem is the re-signing of the manifest, as the target computer might not have the SDK installed (and therefore Mage.exe is missing) Are there any news about this, especially about the best practice doc ...Show All

• .NET Development Concurrent Remoting and socket connections

  Hello Having been trying to find the root of this problem for several days I now hope that you can help me. I’m implementing a distributed file system – consisting of, at the moment, a testing client (C), a http-server (H) and a file server (F) - with the following setup: H acts as an external interface to F, that is any given C connect to one H in order to access files at F. The communication between H and F uses remoting, ie. F registers a FileServerObject which interfaces the local file system which acts as the file storage. Testing H and F alone works fine. The communication between C and H uses regular sockets and uses the HTTP1.1 protocol for communication. These two work fine together. The problem then is ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA compiled programs crashing

  Hi, i downloaded XNA Game Studio express Beta an hour ago. The application itself works pretty well, but when i compile an application (like the Spacewar starter kit or a new project), the exe that i find in *project folder*/bin/Release/ won't launch : it crashes and asks me if i want to send a report to microsoft. I know it's kinda normal since it's a beta software, but if anyone knows an issue to this problem, it would be very helpful ;) Thanks in advance.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Game Studio versions?

  Hello! I have questions about the XNA Game Studio: the FAQ would seem to suggest that there are three versions of XNA Game Studio planned: the Express version for students/hobbyist, the Pro version for actual game studios, and an Enterprise version (the FAQ refers to a Studio version). Is there any kind of comparison chart which would show what the differences between the versions are Another question I have regarding XNA Game Studio are the compiler requirements: the Express version requires C# Express, which would suggest that other versions of the Game Studio product will also require a seperate compiler to be installed. Is this correct, or will the other versions of the Game Studio come with C# Professional or Visual Studio (in t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can Code Coverage ignore private methods?

  Assuming the "Black Box" approach of testing is there any way to set up Code Coverage in TFS to ignore private methods etc Any help would be much appreciated! Hi Michael: I should add that these attributes are only respected at the method level in 2005. We are looking into respecting the DebuggerNonUserCode attribute at the class level (thereby automatically ignoring all methods contained in the class). Several designers automatically generate their types with this attribute at the class level but not the method level (the strongly typed resources designer, for example).
