• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to...?

  is there a way to force the developers to add code comments before they can check it in i saw the code analysis, is there a way i can add a rule in code analysis to check all the methods, enums, and so on for the code comments if there's some codes/ methods has no comments, the code analysis should fail.. so is there a way to do it in code analysis/ or any other way that can do that \ thanks. There is no way to do this today without writing a check-in policy that requires that comments are there. There is a project out on codeplex to do this.

• Visual C# Arrays of arrays

  I'm trying to break an array of string arrays into individual string arrays: string [,] Books = new string [,] {    { "Lee" , "To Kill a Mockingbird" },  { "Twain" , "Tom Sawyer" },  { "Alcott" , "Little Women" } }; foreach ( string [] Book in Books) {    MessageBox .Show( "Author: " + Book[0] + " Title: " + Book[1]); } But the code won't compile; instead I get error: Cannot convert type 'string' to 'string[]'. Hopefully, it's obvious what I'm trying to do.  Can anyone tell me how it's done Your problem is that string[,] is a rectangular array, not an array of arrays. The following code will work the way (I think) you want it to: s ...Show All

• .NET Development Windows Service Logon Info

  Ok, here's a tricky one. We have a service that transfers files from one location to another. I have built a Windows Forms application that feeds information for the service to act on. Some of the information is the name and location of the particular files that are to be transferred. The application that feeds this information to the service does not necessarily reside on the same machine that the service is running. Here is a typical scenario: Computer A: Service is installed and running. Computer B: Windows Forms application. Computer C: Location of files Computer D: Transfer Destination of files I need to make sure that the account under which the service is running (Computer A) has access to the files on Computer C ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do you use delegate for custom method?

  I lost my "cheat-sheet." Now I can't figure how to use a delegate to implement a method in a class supplied by another class. EDIT: Nevermind, I just decided to use the event delegation approach. However can you create a method that accept a method almost like the way a delegate is instantiated. MyDelegate d = new MyDelegate(p.InstanceMethod); Just trying to figure out how to send a callback procedure to a custom object. Basically, the parent object has the callback procedure/method but the child object has the async process. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image serialization

  Hi! Why WCF runtime cannot serialize Image (Bitmap) class Yes, see the example below. You need to add a [ServiceKnownType] attribute to the operation, though, because the Icon class uses a Size object in its serialization that's not declared in the class. public class Post1033270 { [ ServiceContract ] public interface ITest { [ OperationContract ] [ ServiceKnownType ( typeof (System.Drawing. Size ))] Icon Echo( Icon foo); } public class Service : ITest { public Icon Echo( Icon foo) { return foo; } } public static void Test() { string baseAddress = ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project Organization

  I work for a Microsoft Dynamics VAR that has averaged a staff of four-six developers over the years. We would like to move our existing SourceSafe projects into Team Foundation Server. In SourceSafe we have over 200 clients with multiple projects. Most projects are small and often take two days or less to create. Some have taken several months. Nearly all are client-specific. If they averaged even three projects per client it looks like we would exceed the limit of 500 projects per Team Foundation Server. In SourceSafe each of our clients is a "project", and the actual projects for that client are organized in projects under the client. We would like to set up this sort of hierarchy in TFS. Here are my questions: Is is possible ...Show All

• SQL Server DB index performance

  I'm not an index expert, but I think I need help from one. I have a table with 4.9 million rows. Its PK is a composite key on 2 unique FLOAT columns. The floats are actually long ints; there are no decimals. The 2 fields are a LOW and a HIGH, and together they define a unique numeric range. Given a number input, I need to retrieve THE row where the input number falls within that row's LOW & HIGH range. Here's essentially what I'm doing: SELECT * FROM theTable WHERE @inputNumber BETWEEN RangeLow AND RangeHigh My question is on the best way to do the indexes -- right now I'm getting results, but the query takes a good 15 seconds. Isn't there a way to make such a search faster, even though there are tons of rows ...Show All

  There was a similar question posed on the C++ forum back in February to which I responded yesterday, but unfortunately, did not get a response. I am therefore putting this question in the VB forum.

Certain things DO help, such as debug build ...Show All

• Visual C++ Console, Coloured Text

  Hello everyone, Ill be quite honest and tell you I have no idea what's going on. I want to add colour to my console app, and then I want it to set back to the colour of the console originally. After looking at MSDN about it, I pretty much copied and pasted it like so : #include <ctime> #include <iostream> #include <windows> using namespace std; BOOL WINAPI GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo( HANDLE hConsoleOutput, PCONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO lpConsoleScreenBufferInfo ); int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { time_t t; time(&t); // get the current time tm *ptm = localtime(&t); // convert to local time HANDLE hConsole; hConsole = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); SetConsoleTextAttribute(hConsole, 1); cout << ptm- ...Show All
