• Visual Studio Team System Best practices for installing SP1?

  Is there a list of exactly what steps to perform in order to get SP1 installed correctly in a two-tier environment I ran across KB919156 and given the number of issues people seem to be having with their SP1 installs it seems that we should have a sticky for how to proceed. Are there other hot fixes that should be applied before starting Should I run this on my data or application tier first Should I send my developers home until it's completed or can they run disconnected while the service pack is installing If it fails, what is the best way to recover to pre-sp1 conditions, short of ghosting both servers... Thanks, Chris Lively Chris, Here are my recommendations: If you have a SQL Cluster configured fo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Tooltip only works the first time

  Tooltip only works the first time. I have a form with a button and tooltip, when I hover over the button the tool tip appears. If I do NOT move the mouse, after a timeout the tooltip disappears, that is how it is suppose to work. My problem is that when I move the mouse away and then back over the button the tooltip never reappears. If I don't let the tooltip timeout it works, also if I have another tooltip somewhere on the from and activate it the button tooltip will work again, but if I let it timeout I have to goto another tooltip before the button toolitp will work again. Any help walter123, It is a pity that such kind of problems happens in your project. I this situation, I suggest you ...Show All

• Visual J# library.xml not created when called from MSBuild

  Hi; If we build out J# based DLL using VS 2005 or nant - it created WindwardReports.dll and WindwardReports.xml. If we build it using MSBuild, no WindwardReports.xml. We have a C# library also and it does have the .xml file built. Any ideas thanks - dave Hi; You need to fix this. And in the meantime you need to clearly & loudly document this. I probably spent 2 - 3 hours trying to get this to work. Very frustrating to then find out it doesn't do it. thanks - dave ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to contain a modeless dialog in View Frame

  Hi, I created a modeless dialog (it's just a common one created with CDialog::Create). The dialog is located at a random position in the desktop window each time when it is created. I want to have it restricted within the View Frame though. Does anybody have any ideas about a solution Thanks in advance. I have figured out a solution to the problem: the Style of the dialog should be set as Child instead of Popup or Overlapped, and the Clip Siblings option true. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to improve DrawingBrush texture

  Hi all. These are my first days in 3D programming, so bear with me. I'm using WPF to display a 3D view of a geographical map of a site. The map is 2D vector art (so not a bitmap), and was exported as a DrawingGroup resource from Expression Graphic Designer (so as a XAML file). I apply this drawing as a DrawingBrush'ed material to a 3D plane. When the camera is close to this plane (like in a physical camera position), individual pixels of the texture get clearly visible (the closer, the more annoyingly clear). I understand vectorial textures are pixelated at some point, so I partitioned the 3D face up in a number of smaller triangles, hoping closer faces became finer textured. Yet this didn't seem to help. Do you have any ideas how I ca ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista oscilloscope over running video

  I am trying to display an oscilloscope (aka audio scope) over a running video. The directshow filter i am using to produce the audio scope is in: http://virtualvcr.sourceforge.net/html/virtualvcr/filters/scope.php. This filter creates its own window and produces the scope. What I want to do is, instead of creating its own window, it should display the audioscope over a running video. Please point me in the right direction. Can you please give more detail on one of the three dots listed above Ie, fundamental classes, methods, etc. Right now, I am trying dot point 2 without much successs.

• Visual C# Define attributes for a property

  Hello! Does anybody know how do I define an attribute for a property Like this: public class Test { [myproperty's attribute - how to define it ] private string MyProperty; } After defining it, I should use it via Reflection. Will it be shown in Attributes collection of PropertyInfo class Thanks! First off, in your example, you're using a field , not a property. so FieldInfo would be the correct usage. Secondly, no it will not appear in PropertyInfo.Attributes or in FieldInfo.Attributes, but will appear in PropertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes or FieldInfo.GetCustomAttributes, depending on whihc one you choose. Note that many Reflection items implement ICustomAttributeProvider, whi ...Show All
