• Visual Studio Express Editions Installing C++ Express on a Model Computer to be mirrored.

  I am building a new model computer to mirror a large number of workstations that are identical and need the same software on them. It has been requested that all the computers have C++ Express Edition. My question is: do I have to have a seperate registration for each of the computers that I mirror to, or will one registration work I do not know if there is an open license for the express products... but if you do not have an open license system or simular you will also have to activate some of the other MS Products that you install as well. But use you will have to register and activate each install of the Express systems. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Missing "Add Work Item" from "Team" drop down list.

  I am evaluting Team Foundation Server RTM. I have Team Explorer installed on my Team Foundation Server. From Team Explorer I can click TEAM>Add Work Item>Add Task and it works like a charm. I also have Team Explorer installed on my client work station along with Visual Studio .NET for C# Developers. When I click on TEAM I have no ADD WORK ITEM option. I do have ADD WORK ITEMS using EXCEL or PROJECT and both work fine so I do not beleive it to be a credential problem. Any ideas Thanks in advance, Dave Dave, Few reasons I could think of.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Play a musical note with WPF

  I was recently told that the concept of the MDX (managed direct X) API was obsoleted by Windows Presentation Foundation. So, I went about trying to re-write some of my old MDX code in WPF - and ran into a snag. I need to be able to produce a musical note... and I don't seem be able to do it programmatically any more. Even if I have to simply supply a frequencey and a duration - I can do that since the frequency range of musical notes is well known. Anybody know how to use .NET Framework 3.0 to play a musical note Any help is appreciated. - Thanks! MDX is definitely not obsoleted by WPF. There are some things in WPF that save you from having to use MDX in your apps, but it is not intended to replace it. The answer to your questio ...Show All

• SQL Server Get week number with changed @@datefirst question

  I want to get the week number (according to ISO rule i.e. if most of the working days fall in the JAN set it to as week number 1). I know one stored procedure is available at MSDN to achieve this task. It works fine for me if the @@datefirst is set to 1 (i.e. Monday) but i have a strange requirement of calculating the week number according to ISO rule but the start date of week can be any day for example Saturday. When I try to run that procedure with my unique criteria I get wrong week number for some years Can any one tell me the more generic solution Your help is appreciated thanx thannx for your support... I had a breif look to your link but I think it is not the generic code as it is hard coding the day name (i.e. th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Graphics.DrawString doesn't draw underline/strikeout on trailing whitespace

  When I use Graphics.DrawString to draw text, it refuses to draw the underline and strikeout on any trailing whitespace on the string that I pass in. As you can imagine, this makes implementing a custom text renderer somewhat awkward, because there are times when I want text to be formatted like this: " Red Text Italic Text " (number of spaces exaggerated for example) But since the renderer automatically drops off the trailing white spaces when rendering the red text, it ends up looking like this instead: " Red Text Italic Text " Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to make the renderer NOT trim the end trailing spaces off while rendering This is incredibly annoying and the only solution I can think ...Show All

• SQL Server Transfer table with schemas other than dbo

  My problem is very simple and that is that I'm trying to copy some tables between databases, but these tables are in different schemas. let's say I have dbo.tableA sch1.tableA sch2.tableA sch3.tableA And I just want to copy let's say sch1.tableA to a Different DB. If I use Transfer SQL Server Object task and select the table and save the package and try to open the task again, all the tables with name TableA will be selected!! it seems like although it does show the schema ( when I am selecting the table manually ) but it doe snot store the schema detail in the tablelist collection property of the task. Would please recommend any other way to achieve this. Many Thanks in advance Hi Kolf, I concur. I don ...Show All

• Visual Studio Change property value on decorator double click

  Hi, I would like to implement the following feature: I have a text decorator on a relation, mapped on a property, which value is an enum. I want able the user to click on the text decorator, so the value is incremented.
