• Visual Studio Team System How to specify Project generation from SDM model for a custom SDM type

  Hi, I create new SDM component. Now I want to allow a VS project creation based on a custom template for my component. I can't find the way to define such behavior in the SDM model. The only way I have found is a creating Plug-In for a VS like it is done for a Generic Application and a WebApplication. Have I missed something Evgeny Popov You are right, that was my question. How does an inheritance work When I try to extend my custom SDM type from WebApplication, my type does not have the same behavior as WebApplication does. And an inherited settings do not appear on the diagram. I thought may be if my type is inherited from WebApplication type it supports a project generation and so on. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Forms and Arrays

  Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to do what I' am trying to do. Though I' m sure it is and I' am just not doing it correctly. Here's the code: Dim Whisper(strNick) As frmWhisper Whisper(strNick).Show() strNick is a string variable, which contains the nickname. I 'am trying to set this up as an array so you can control each whisper by the users nickname. Because the code that I tried did not work. ;\ Try something like this: Public Class frmWhisper Private mNickname As String Private Shared mLookup As New Dictionary(Of String, frmWhisper) Public Shared Function FindWhisper(ByVal nickname As String) As frmWhisper If mLookup.ContainsKey(nickname) Then Return mLookup.Item(nickname) Dim f As New frmWhisper(nickna ...Show All

• Visual C# Printing problem

  Hi there, I'm currently working on a small project for filling in some forms on the computer and then printing the data into the forms blank fields.

• SQL Server Dropdown won't show values if only one item is available

  I have a report that has 2 dropdowns, selecting from the first dropdown populates the second one. This works fine in the BI Studio. When I deploy this report to the 'Report Manager' and make a selection from the first dropdown, the second dropdown loads (as expected). I tried to select from the second dropdown (which has only 1 item - which is correct), the dropdown does not appear correctly - as in, I can't see that item. Since we can't attach anything here, below is the link to a screenshot of my issue: http://docs.google.com/View docid=ddd6j2xn_52c5qd5 If you look closely at the screenshot from the link above, you'll see that there is a value in the second dropdown - it just won't show completely - as if the dropdown is not re ...Show All

• Visual Basic Has anyone gotten Menu Merging to work in VB 2005

  I've read a number of posts on this forum and it seems to me that Microsoft has a lot of work to do with the Menu Merging in VB 2005. The documentation is quite vague almost as though it's unfinished. Has anyone been able to successfully merge MDI child and parent menus without showing two menus Do you have a step-by-step walkthough of your example including the MergeAction and MergeIndex properties Please post it so that we can have a better understand of this 'new and improved' feature in VB 2005 Agree about the worthlessness of the documentation. After a day of playing with this and looking at other forums, however, I think I have this figured out. This comes from another forum that I have now lost tra ...Show All

• Windows Forms IsMdiContainer

  Is it possible to define the size of the MdiContainer Sorry the bad english. Thank you. My guess is that MdiParent is actually Null which may mean that you haven't set it In your child form make sure that you set the form's MdiParent to be the actual MdiContainer Form. Otherwise, the child form won't really be an MdiChild at all and the MdiParent property will be Null. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Disable multiple checkout

  We are experiencing some problems with multiple checkout. I want the exclusive lock behaviour, so I unchecked "Team->Team Project Settings->Source Control->Enable multiple checkout". Unfortunately we still have one class diagram file that seems to work in multiple checkout mode. I do some changes, my coworker can do them in the same time and when we check in we get conflicts. Any hints on why this happens Is it possible you or your coworker already had the file checked out prior to changing the Team Project setting When you check out the class diagram, does the pending changes window show the pending change as "edit,lock" or just "edit" Thanks, Ben Ryan ...Show All

  Please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, I was not able to find it anywhere. I'm using a System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<> object in my code and FxCop is complaining, saying it should be replaced "with an approved type to avoid unnecessary JIT compilation for NGEN'ed assemblies." The help link in the rule ( http://fxcop/docs/rules.aspx version=v1.35&url=/MSInternal/UseApprovedGenericsForPrecompiledAssemblies.html ) does not give any info.

• Visual C# Raising events from one thread to other

  Hello, I am new in C# and would appreciate any information on standard ways to raise events from worker thread (System.Threading.Thread) to the main UI thread, where the main form is created and lives. Here I interested in the events only (as they usually used within the thread scope), not Control.Invoke()/BeginInvoke(), not BackgroundWorker class, as they are more or less learnt and OK. By default, raised events go to the same thread, is it the only behavior If not, how I should redirect them into UI thread's message loop Thank you in advance. The answer is you can't do so. You have to live with checking the property in Event Handler in the main thread "this.InvokeRequired" if yes the ...Show All
