• Windows Forms "the path is not of a legal form" error

  Hi, I made a control, and when I try to add it to a form, it shows me the error "the path is not of a legal form". How can I solve it Thanks.

• Visual Studio Team System Forcing "Check In" radio button selection on project check out

  I want to force the use of the "Check In" radio button option when users check out .csproj files. I want to force this flow: User A checks out Project.csproj User B checks out Project.csproj User A checks in Project.csproj User B checks in Project.csproj And not allow this flow: User A checks out Project.csproj User B checks out Project.csproj User B checks in Project.csproj User A checks in Project.csproj However I have not seen a way to force this for certain file types using TF.exe. Is this possible The lead developer wants to force the merge responsibilities on the second person to check out the file rather than on the original person to check out a file.
