• Visual Studio Building a web form programmatically

  I am fairly new to the extensibility realm. I think it is a great tool but I have run into some issues. I am working on an add-in that will generate a basic application based on a database. Currently, the tool has no problem generating the necessary classes and thanks to some of the posts on this forum I have figured out how to add the code to App_Code folder correctly. The problem that I am trying to solve is to create the web form programmatically and then populate it with controls. I can dynamically generate the web form but I can not figure out how to add controls to the page. I would like to have the application write much of the codebehind logic to tie to the classes that the system generates also but until I can figure out the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Import change history into TFS

  For the migration to TFS we have exported all defects from our current defect tracking system and want to import this in TFS. This export also contains all change history for each defect (date changed, changed by, field change values). Is is possible to import all this information into to TFS, so we could still query for the change history of fields of these imported items Thanks. You cannot preserve field values like 'changed date' because of rule restrictions in work item type xml. If you are creating a project and importing bunch of items, you could initially have a relaxed rules in xml to import the data you need and then tighten it, but not bypass rules while importing these information. ...Show All

• SQL Server EXECUTE AS Permissions ???

• Windows Forms Disposing a form which has user control?

  Hi,,, I have created a windows application using c#. I have included a user control, which has tree view. I have included this user control in all forms. My issue is : As the tree view is in all forms, when i try to show a second form, the first form is also visible, moreover the second form appears below the first form.

• Windows Forms Can I set specified folder when I open saveas dialog in WebBrowser control using "ShowSaveAsDialog"?

  I'm using VB.NET 2005. And it's winform. I'm considering that an Excel file be opened in WebBrowser control and saveas to the network folder. But, there is no way to set specified folder when I using "WebBrowser.ShowSaveAsDialog()" method. So, end-user have to remember the network folder they should save the excel file. Is there any way Thank you in advance. Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I can get, there is no documented way to specify a folder for ShowSaveAsDialog function of WebBrowser control. Perhaps you may try something else, like using SaveAsDialog component instead, and pass the filename to WebBrowser control. Hope this help, -chris ...Show All

• Windows Forms Incremental Updates, Proxy Authentication

  Hiya; Does ClickOnce do incremental updates, i.e. if I change one file in my app, is the user going to download the entire app again, or just the changed file. If this can be done, can someone please point me to an article that describes this I searched but came up empty. Also, is it a fact that ClickOnce will expereince problems if the user requires proxy authentication I am looking at C1 as a method for distibution to my clients, but if there would be problems with clients with porxy servers, that would be a Bad Thing (TM).

• SQL Server 64-Bit SQL Server 2005 (Enterprise), SQL Agent Notifications and Database Mail

  We have database mail configured on our 64-Bit SQL Server Enterprise 2005 (SP1) and are able to send test messages from the context menu that appears when selecting database mail component. However for some reason when a SQL Agent Job fails, no emails are sent to the 'operator' that has been defined for the job. I have confirmed that we have the operators correctly configured. We also have a small SQL Agent Job that just sends a test email via the sp_send_dbmail command and that works properly. However if I deliberately create a malformed parameter in the sp_send_dbmail command to 'break' it...no notification of a job failure message is sent. I have verified that the service_broker component is enabled...and the status of databas ...Show All

• .NET Development To to supply username & password to web service using windows authentication from Win Form?

  I'm doing a Winform client. It has to access some data from web services that use Windows Integrated Authentication (Kerberos) as form of athentication. Within Winform client, how can I supply username & password to those web services Thanks everybody. Well, basically it depends on whether your service uses Web Serivce Enhancements, WSE, or just use plain ASMX. Assuming the latter, IIS will be set to Integrated Security and you will then have to set the credentials on your proxy which in your Windows client is as simple as: TestService proxy = new TestServivce(); proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; If on the other hand you are using WSE you will have to set the SecurityCredentials on ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bug Fixes

  Hi, Being a developer I know that writing software is a tedious business. I would just like to know how much time is spent by the WPF team going through bugs at the official bug logging site ( connect.microsoft.com) The reason why I am asking is because I logged a few bugs that are really critical for the application we are developing, and I would like a "timeline" as how long the whole process would take before the changes is added in a next CTP (which already to long to wait) or maybe a patch Thank you very much, Jaco Both of those issues were entered on 8/10. I'm not sure if the bugs got into our bug DB yet (it takes a little while). I've pointed the TextBox/RichTextBox team tow ...Show All
