• Visual Studio Team System How can I merge an outside source tree into a version controlled copy of the source tree?

  I currently have the Enterprise Library's source code in source control with some local modifications (modified for strong naming). I'm trying to apply a patch delivered as a zip file of the source tree containing the files modified from the baseline. I've branched my main line to a patch application branch, and have the modified files available. How can I best import and merge these modified files If I understand your problem correctly, you need to create a mapping for "patch application branch" (let's say it's c:\branch). You sync this branch and then uncompress the patch, overwriting the changed files. Now the problem is that you don't have pended changes on the modified files. The best wa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Prompting to save changes to query when user does not have permissions

  Minor grumble on my part If you modify a team query format (e.g Right click header and select Column options) you are prompted to save query on closing but if you choose OK and you are not an admin you receive a security warning. It would be nice if you were not prompted to save unless you have permissions. (Saves a click to get rid of the MB) Not really expecting a resolution of this one. I guess the workaround is just create your own queries and modify them as you like since you can save them. Maggie You can actually select File\"Save as" and save your changes into a private query or a file. So you can use team queries as a starting point and the prompt will help ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get an embedded resource that is in a sub folder?

  Hi, I have an embedded resource that I am trying to retreive in my code via "System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.GetManifestResourceStream()". Everything works fine if the file is put in the ROOT part of the project. However, I am trying to keep things organized, so I made a subfolder in the project called "Resources", and placed it in there.... However, I cannot figure out how to retreive the resource now that it is in the Subfolder. I would think it would change from foo.bar, to Resources.foo.bar, or something similar... However, that is returning null for me... I also put a breakpoint in my code and put a Watch on a call to 'GetManifestResourceNames()'... this function returns all the resources, but once ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Jaunuary Orcas CTP

  Does the January Orcas CTP that released last night have WPF support If no, when will we start seeing WPF support in the Orcas CTP's. Steve Sorry, I missed your follow-up question. Unfortunately, the release dates are still confidential. The only way to try out Cider at this point is with Visual Studio 2005 Standard or better. The free Express SKUs are not supported (nor enabled) in this scenario. You may want to give our "sister" product Expression Blend a try. I haven't tried it but you might be able open Blend's project files with VC# 2005 Express (Blend uses the VS project file format) to make changes in the code-behind files. ...Show All

  I'm working on an application, a webbrowser. I followed the documentation in the book "Build a program now! Visual C# 2005 express edition", Chapter 6. The problem is that the splashscreen is viewed, but in the background you can see a part of the form, that should be visible afted the splashscreen dissapeares. I created a splashscreen.

I catch this event with the following method: private void Browser_Activated( ...Show All

• Visual Basic Server Explorer and SQL 2005

  I have Sql 2005 Dev edition and VS 2005 Pro. I cannot access the server from server explorer. I know the SQL server is up and running. I cannot access it from Access either. I have tried the Data Connection Wizard (as outlined in the tread "Server Explorer - Sql Server) but no SQL server is there. I have no idea of how to proceed. Suggestions please Thanks Glen for the input. I can open the "connect to database" dialogue. I choose SQL server as data source and .NET for SQL as data provider. On the next screen the server name is empty. If I click "refresh", I get a long delay with the hour glass before it times out without yielding a server name. I cannot get past this step.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Where can I find resources or samples to configure a client and service properly?

  Here is what I've done: 1. I created a service using VS. 2. The service endpoint is configured to communicate using wsHttpBinding 3. The service is hosted in a windows service 3. Created a client 4. Added the service reference using VS 5. After testing, both service and client work fine on the same machine 6. Move the service to a remote machine (out of LAN) 7.

• Visual Studio Team System Questions - (i) webtest from anywhere and (ii) adaptable across environments

  Hello, I just have a couple of questions regarding webtests. (i) We have VS2005 for Software Testers installed on a Windows Server 2003 machine - after creating and building the project containing webtests (.webtest file) and/or generated code (.cs code) can I execute the tests from another machine (using the machine which has th IDE installed as a server). In other words, a DLL has been created by the build, but how can these be run from outside the IDE and what is the best way to tell whether the tests have passed/failed (one way is to look at the .trx file in the TestResults folder - but is there a parser to generate a report out of this) (ii) After the tests have been created (.webtest and/or .cs), is there a way to simply re ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox is not updating when row is added to DataTable

  I have a combobox that has a bindingsource as a datasource, with a displaymember and valuemember selected. I have a button which adds a new row to a datatable, and I've verified that my code succesfully adds rows to the DataTable as expected, but the newly added row does not appear in the combobox. When I perform a dataadapter update, the new rows are written to the database, and the new items appear in the combobox when performing a subsequent dataadapter.fill. I suspect there is something with databinding that I am missing that is not updating my combobox. Can someone help Thanks! Corey that is correct, if you directly add a new row to the dataTable, the datagridview/combobox will not know anyth ...Show All
