Visual Studio Team System Accessing test results
Hi, all. This is probably a pretty basic question. I've looked for answers to it on this forum but can't find exactly what I need. How can I access the results of my load test run after I've closed and reopened my VS solution In other words, let's say I run a load test. When it's done I can see the results of this test. However, once I close the solution and reopen it I don't see any way to get that result window back. From what I've read, it sounds like the results get saved into the test repository (I might be wrong) and I believe there should be a way to access them. I just can't find how. Thank you. Never mind my question. If anybody is interested the answer is at http://msdn2.microsoft.c ...Show All
Visual C++ Why do my macros stop working?
Visual C++ 2003 .Net Framework 1.1 I record a simple macro to comment out a line of code. Then I bind it to a key. Everything works fine. Then, after closing visual studio and starting it again my macro stops working. At least I think this is what makes it stop working, but I'm not positive on that. I even open the macro browser and right click on it and select "Run" and I see the cursor turn into an hour glass for a second, but then nothing happens. Even selecting "Run" on other Microsoft samples such as "CommentOut" don't do anything. So, I recreate my temp macro and select "Run" in the macro browser. Most of the time this works, but it seems like sometimes that doesn't even work. I'm e ...Show All
SQL Server Serious error in RS licensing docs on MS web site
Correct me if I'm wrong... There is a potentially costly error in at least 2 Reporting Services 2005 licensing docs on Microsoft’s web site. They fixed the docs a few months ago after I called and told them about it but, now they are bad again! Here are links to the bogus docs: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/howtolicensers.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/sql/howtobuy/sqlserverlicensing.mspx Both of these docs say that you need 2 SQL licenses to run Reporting Services 2005 on a separate server from the SQL engine. This is not true. You only need 1 license! You do of course need the correct number of CAL's or a CPU license. The license.txt file that ships on the SQL Server 2005 standard edition ins ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Using the default XML namespace for custom activity types
I am using WorkflowMarkupSerializer.Serialize(...) to write out a xoml file.

Smart Device Development C# and HHT
I'm currently working on a project that would involve C# and Hand Held Devices. Just wondering if there are any good reference sites out there that could help me out and lead me in the right direction. Appreciate the help MS Forum members. Cheers, SOTY_Programmer I've been searching for the past couple of days to find a solution for this, but I haven't had any luck. I must not have the correct wording for what I want to do. I'm working in a Visual Studio.NET 2003 Dev environment (C#), and I need to detect when a user places a PocketPC into its cradle. When that happens, it will open up a program that would do its duty. I'm not writing an app to go onto the PocketPC, just a regular windows app. ...Show All

Visual C++ COleDateTime Problem - Need to override default behaviour
Hi All, COleDateTime (tested on VS.NET 2003) is implemented in such a way that when using DTP Control, if a) you type in 2 digit year in the DTP which is <=29, it takes it as 20XX where XX is the year. b) you type in 2 digit year which is >=30, it takes it as 19XX where XX is the year you entered. Is there any way to override this behaviour One way is to use SDK to change Calendar format for Gregorian Calendar but I cannot use it as it will affect the System regional settings which I don't want.

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Using command line arguments in a WinFX Window application
Hi, I'm trying to use command line arguments in a WinFX Window application. I figured out the "real" entry point of the program was located in the App.g.cs file. There I can add argument String[] args to the main method. However, the header states that modification to this file will be lost when it is regenerated, making me expect that there's another way to use arguments which would be cleaner. Any ideas of a better way to do it Thanks in advance Here is the code of App.g.cs, where I manually added the String[] args argument to main method: <CODE> //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // <auto-generated> // This code was generated by a tool. // Runtime Version:2.0.50 ...Show All
SQL Server Reduction in Rendering Time of Reports
I am using SQL server reporting services 2005 to display reports (rdl files). The reports are displayed in the reporting viewer in the exe created using vb.net (visual studio 2005). The data for the report is computed and stored in a physcal table, the rdl file fetches the data from the physical table. The operation of querying and computing the data and storing the same in the physical table takes 5 seconds but the renedering of the RDL in the report viewer takes very long time (approx 5 minutes to display 150 pages). Tools Used: Front end: EXE, created using vb.net and visual studio 2005. Back end: SQL Server 2005 Reporting tool: SQL server reporting sevices.

SharePoint Products and Technologies permissions sharepoint
Hi, we have our moss site configured for both internet as intranet acces. For internet we use forms, for intranet we use active directory. On our public site we have a webpart to log in on the site. When an anonymous user logs in this way he will be added to the visitors group. The permissions for the visitors group are set to restricted read.

Visual C# VS2005 IDE freezes
I'm having an issue with VS2005 where when I try and save or when it tries to Save AutoRecovery information, the IDE completely freezes. I only just started having this problem, so I really don't know what the problem could be. Are there any suggestions / fixes for this issue With some searching through the forums, I have found other people that have similar problems, but no solution in sight! Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. Yeah I get exactly the same thing. What i've noticed is when I build (or rebuild), the IDE becomes unresponsive for approx 10-15 secs. I'm not sure if it's due to to the number of projects in the solution (I have 12 atm), as it seems to refresh the solution explorer and then ...Show All
