• Internet Explorer Development Tab strip

  I would like to make a suggestion for a tab strip improvement. Yesterdays launch, and subsequent problems with the run once page illustrated a problem with the tab strip.  It becomes unresponsive if a tabs contents is having trouble downloading. Can I suggest that the tab strip should be running in a separate thread - so that you can easily navigate away from that tab while it continues to try and download.  If you finally make it to another tab, all is good until you go anywhere near the slow pages tab. As such can I also suggest that you should be able to right click on an inactive tab and close it without giving it focus - thus bypassing the fact that the page is VERY busy.  It might also be nice to show on the t ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies user group with same name in different sub sites...

  Hi, Whats the best way to create an user group with same name in different sub sites.. (When ever I try creating a group, it is visible to all the groups..). I would like to have an user group with the same name under different sub sites and each  of these groups can have different users associated to them... I am working on WSS V3 I guess I found the answer - 'site group' in WSS V2 is called 'Role Definition' or 'Permission Level' in WSS v3.

• .NET Development Embedding Visio 2005 control in VS 2005 app

  Hi All,  I am trying to use the visio drawing control in a windows application on Visual Studio 2005 Beta2. Here's what I am doing: * Add the Visio drawing control library (COM) to my toolbox; * Drag-and-drop the drawing control into the Form (this works ok, I can see the control inside the form); * Run the application, but I get the following error: Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)) I tried doing the exact same thing on VS 2003, and it worked fine. Am I missing anything Any ideas on how to solve this (VS used the same Visio COM dll in both VS 2003 and 2005 projects). TIA Rubens Hi.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Knowing when my class (that inherits from ModelVisual3D) is added to the scene graph

  My lengthy subject says it all :) I have a class that inherits from ModelVisual3D (similar to what Daniel mentions in http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=397381&SiteID=1 ). I would like to know when it needs to be rendered, as it has a bunch of lazy initialization to get done (like generate its visual). This means I'd like to be notified when it was added to a scene graph that's about to be displayed, regardless of whether my class was added in xaml or programatically). Is there an event I can listen on Should I be inheriting from something else than ModelVisual3D Thanks! I see it supports a OnVisualChildrenChanged though. If a modelVisual3d can have other ModelVisual3D objects as children, you could ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem adding a reference for asp.net website in visual studio 2005/visual sourcesafe website on network drive

  Myself and one other developer are working on an asp.net 2.0 site using visual studio 2005 and visual sourcesafe 2005. Our files are shared on a network drive and using the features in Visual Studio 2005 I added the website to visual sourcesafe. I can add, delete, modify, write to files and folders on this shared network drive. The problem I am having is I am trying to add a reference in the website to "Microsoft.Practices.Enterpriselibrary.Data.dll" and it does not seem to be working. It adds the files to the bin directory but when I try to use the "Imports" statement in vb.net studio has no clue what "Microsoft.Practices.Enterpriselibrary.Data.dll" is.

• Visual Studio Team System Can't open project after upgrade to CTP6

  I'm getting the below error when trying to open a solution that contains a database project created with CTP5: http://www.cryptpad.com/ctp6error.jpg The database project is just greyed out with the usual "cannot open project file" error. Does anyone know what the problem is You can not open a CTP5 project with CTP6 because the file formats have changed. (See Read Me's) I had bad luck importing the .sql file from CTP5 (which does work but there can be lots of errors) and others have too. I think the best method is to make a new CTP6 project and import a deployed test db that was previously created / deployed with the CTP5 project. HTH Alle ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System History of merge's?

  Is there any way to get history on if a particular changeset was merged into a particular branch If not, it would be nice if there is some way to pull this off. I guess if you had a work item associated you could relate both changes to the same work item, but sometimes there is not a direct correlation. In this case we don't use work items yet and a developer should have done a merge of changesets, but I can't think of an easy way to tell other than just try to compare files. Granted since merges involved manual steps to do merging, a merge may not be able to have a direct correlation with a changeset, since there may have been changes to the changeset to do the actual merge, it still would be an interesting view as it at least track ...Show All

• Commerce Server Payment Gateway Pipeline Integration

  Hi all, I am a beginner in CS 2007 doing my first CS 2007 project. We as a team are working to customise the CS 2007 Starter Site according to the business needs and to use it to launch as an ecommerce website. I have read the MSDN for pipeline and using the existing pipeline for payments provided in CS2007 Starter Site, it does not look viable to use it as it is for payments. Some blogs and discussions also redirect to the fact that one has to write their own pipeline for payments and integrate with their payment gateway service provider. Keeping in mind the deadline which has been given the 1st Dec 2006, we as a team don't think it would be possible. There couple of options that I have thought of Option 1 Removing the control ...Show All
