• Visual Studio Team System is there a way to add more priority levels?

  i have looking around for a while trying to find some way where i can add more priority levels and instead of have 1 2 3 i have critical high etc is there any way of doing this and is it possible with the process template editor Thanks You might want to contact the company that created Process template editor. Meanwhile, you can use our command line tools witimport and witexport for editting the work item type to add new priority values. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms253163.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms253051.aspx Let me know if you have more questions! ...Show All

• SQL Server Getting HelloWorld_CLR sample to work

  Hello, I have been trying to get the app installed and running; I've updated the install script to point to the right server and it worked. I've run the ALTER DATABASE ssb_HelloWorld SET ENABLE_BROKER ; and the EXEC sp_configure 'clr enabled' , 1; and the CLR seemed to have problems while getting replies back from the server. However after repeated retries it worked well. Sporadically I would see an error. After uninstalling the sample and installing it again - to document the steps previously taken - the CLR application is no longer receiving messages from the server. Any idea about what setting might be needed Thanks, See this previous post: http://forums.micro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dynamic Delays help Please

  Hi i'm making a Task manager for clients. I am representing a time period by a Parallel activity and each task to do that time is a Listen with a HandleExternalEvent and a Delay. What i need to do is have the Delays to be "the rest of today" + some presubcribed window. I'm Creating the WF instance from a XAML file so i can easily edit the first time period using System.DateTime.Now and some simple math. But once the WorkFlow is Instantiated is there away so that once one time periods Tasks are complete the next set of delays will be the rest of that day plus their own timespan I was thinking of building a Custom Activity that Inherits from DelayActivity and making it's Execute method something like: Execute(){ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Postback not happening on selectign a treeview node

• SQL Server Better was to handle fixed width flat files?

  Is there a better way to handle fixed width flat files than the built-in SSIS capability I have a fixed width file with over 400 columns and it looks like I need to manually click lines where each column starts/ends (quite tedious and prone to error). I have an excel version of the spec with start position, length, and data type for each column. So far it looks like the only way to automate this task is to somehow automatically generate the package XML from the spec and paste it into the dtsx file. Anyone know of a better way Lee, first I applaud your ingenuity. I'm going to share it with a few others who've painfully constructed flat file conns with several hundred columns in fixed width and ragged righ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mulit Core programming

  Hello, I would like to know how to make a multi threaded application using XNA Framework Is it possible to set Draw method on a thread and the Update method on another And how to do it thanks in advance I suspect this is something MS need to provide more documentation on when they ship. I'm not 100% sure what the threading API will be like for the 360, not what the best practises are for DirectX - I know you have to be very careful when using DirectX with multi threading - usually people keep their rendering on one thread and do updates/physics/AI etc on others to be safe. Don't forget to create your device with the multi threading flag! If I was you I would add something to connect reque ...Show All
