• Visual Studio Team System Output of base.Problems collection

  I have a custom rule that loops through all the methods available and checks for a particular violation. If there is a violation, I use the below sequence to add it to the Problems collection Resolution resElement = base.GetResolution( "error string" ); Problem prbDescription = new Problem( resElement, "Class Name" ); base.Problems.Add( prbDescription ); I have the above set inside the loop and during the execution (debugging), I am able to see the base.Problems having the list of items that were detected for violation. During debugging, I am able to see the list growing as I add the violations to base.Problems At the end of the Check method that I have overridden, base.Problems is returned. But in the ou ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies How do you prevent users from creating personal sites?

  I have created 7 sites, one for each department and I will be setting up permissions for certain staff to manage them. What I would like to prevent is everyone clicking up in the right-hand corner on 'MySite' and creating their own personal site. Is there a way to either keep this from happening or hiding the tabs from view I am unsure where to do this. Do I go to Central Admininstration, Application Management, Applications Security Or, do I set up security from the site collection, site directory I set up an individual user as a test and put him in a group with read only priviledges and he was still able to create his own site. ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql 2005 Express + Replication

  Hi, does any know of any plans to support publications in Sql 2005 Express I want to start moving away from MSDE but we use replication (one MSDE database is the publisher and several client PC's use MSDE as the subscribers.). Maybe it is on SP2 Thanks for any info you have on this. Graham There are no current plans to support Publication in SQL Express in 2005. Our recomendation is to use SQL Workgroup Edtion as the Publisher. I'm interested in the scale of your application. How many client PC's connect to the Publisher How is this application used (i.e. Is this something you sell, something that was developed as an internal application for your company ) Why do you use replication If y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Report Viewer Table

  Hello, I'm trying to display the table information horizontally insead of down the form. For example, instead of this; A B C D I would like to display two tables beside each other and display the tables and data like this Table 1 Table2 A C B D Or, if there is a way to select (filter) which data is displayed in the table that would work also.

  Hi, i wanne use shadows as a very basic thing in my game for hundrets of objects, so i searched for a way to do this as a shader. I thought this would be the best way. So well, in the NVidia or AT I SDK are alot of samples but first of all they are not really simple and they have a lot of compability issues. I tested both on Geforce 7 and a mobility radeon 9700 but couldn't figure out a working solution for both worlds. Can someone help me with this Does someone know a good tutorial/url/whatever for real shadows as shaders I already searched a lot but XNA and HLSL stuff isn't that well known yet I think.

• Visual C# How to write Debug directive in CS file?

  In aspx file, it is written as "<%@ Page Language=C# Debug="True">". In CS file, how to write it. My purpose is to get a pdb file after compilation of the cs file into dll file, so that I might trace the line number once some errors occur in web application. Thks a lot! If you are using ASP.NET 1.1 and VS2003, you'll need to change your project to select the debug configuration (go to Build -> Configuration Manager on the menu).
