• Visual Studio Express Editions can't find solution

  I'm trying to send the solution of a website to someone but I can't find it. I used the search folders option and it's not there. I have three websites saved on VWD and only one of them has a .sln file. I don't know why the other two don't. Is there a way I can create a .sln file for a website Thanks. VWD and ASP.NET projects in VS 2005 do not use project files and instead are stored in a directory tree much like a website would be on a server (in other words they don't have solutions). If you are trying to send a website you should zip up the folder where the website is stored and send the zip file out. Let me know if this helps! ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development JavaScript on protected and non-protected disk

  Hello, I visited this forum already some time ago and I did read a thread that said that not all JavaScript commands do work on a non-protected disk (so a disk without AACS). I searched the forum, but was not able to find it back. Can anybody shed some light on this Is it true and if so, which commands are affected Thanks in advance for any info ! That's what I was already afraid of. But how can you test this functionality on a real player (for instance the Toshiba HD-A1) if you are developing ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridViewCellStyle, BackColor/ForeColore Edit

  Hi, It seems as generating a cell style object combined with the CellFromating event is the most applicable way to dynamically change cell format properties as the background or foreground colors. The problem is posponement of the actual change to only take place after conclusion of the edit session, for a particular cell. Is there anyway to circumvent this and not to zigzag within the cells or use the EndEdit and BeginEdit events. Also, change and return of the current cell to another cell did not do the trick either. Regards, Reza Bemanian Hi, Thanks for the response. The two event cell begin and end edit were the first ones used in this project. The problem only occurs for the cell which is edited, as f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Adding / Modifying Work Item Fields

  Greetings I would appreciate being pointed at the correct places in the documentation / blogs/ etc. to learn how to add a custom field to the work item tracking dialogs. Having looked at the warehouse it doesn't look that difficult but a step by step would be helpful. Thanks in Advance & Warm Regards Alan Also, if you download the visual studio SDK, it contains documentation on how to modify work items. It is called "Authoring work item types" or something of that nature. I believe once you install the sdk, it is found at c:\programe files\visual studio 2005 sdk\2006.03 (or .04 if you download the april release)\VisualStudioTeamSystemIntegration\Work Item Tracking. The sdk also contains some simple e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Presentations?

  Hi, I am a developer for a company that has asked me to do a presentation on MSF. Are there any presentations out there that have been created - I am hoping to find one that is fairly high level, explaining the key concepts of MSF.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom binding and wsHttpBinding

  Hi, there. I need help from you guys again. If I want to make the default setting of wsHttpBinding in custom binding. How can I do that The reason for doing this is because I want to change only a part of the default setting which you can not do with system-defined setting. For example, wsHttpBinding is perfect for me to connect with Java except that the soap message version is different. However, I have no way of knowing how to have the same setting in custom bindings. So if you can help me out or guide me to a page where it tells me all that. That would be wonderful. Thank you for your time in advance!!! Wow, I didn't know there was that kind of approach. Thanks so much. I guess, we need to use write code ...Show All

• Visual Basic how can I tell how much memory my app is using?

  Hi folks, Waffle ==== I have an app which uses a 3rd party API which isn't very well written as it DLs data from a remote server, and the data held locally continually increases throughout the day. It seems that to store 10mb of data, the app is using 100mb of memory! I have a routine to close the app and re-start it every n hours, but I want it to be smarter than this. Question ====== How can I check how much memory my app is consuming. i.e. When I go to the TaskManager, I can see my process.Mem Usage=88,234 K. This is the figure I want to get. Does My.Application.Info.WorkingSet give me this thanks ...Show All
