Visual Studio Team System Disable multiple checkout for designer.vb files
Hello, Is there a way to disable multiple checkout for designer.vb files in source control I tried adding an extension in the foundation settings but it does not accept multiple periods. The normal *.vb files can be changed but if more developers have changed an designer.vb file merging can be a very difficult task. Regards, Jon van dorsten The code Buck posted will not work on multiple levels. First, using the string "*.designer.vb" throws the following exception when you call vsc.SetFileTypes: TF10168: The extension *.designer.vb is not supported. It cannot contain any of the following characters /\\:* "<>|. You need to pass "designer.vb". In any ev ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Acheive fast bevel effect
I am trying to build a custom button template to emulate the bevel bitmap effect. I need to do this because the bitmap effect does not use HW acceleration and is very slow. Using 2 rectangles and a linear gradient on the back rectangle, I can acheive the look I am going for. The problem is when resizing the button, I need to dynamically change the angle of the gradient. Here is the button as it looks before being resized. Button before resizing So, as you can see, the linear gradient needs to change as the button changes size. Button after resizing The desired result is: Desired Button look after resizing (Note the difference in gradient angle around the edge) &nb ...Show All
Commerce Server Calculate Tax based on Product Information
I have come across a situation that presents me with 2 problems. 1. In the state we work, some items are not taxable (Clothing, for example) while other tiems are (Household, for example). We need to be able to identify which category (not necessarily Catalog Category) the items in the LineItem belong to. At first my thoughts were to add a custom property in the Catalog Manager (IsTaxable) and i would be able to find this property inside the pipeline. Form there on it would be fairly easy to accomplish. 2. I can live with the solution above, if i could find a way to get access to the product information, which i cant. Anyone has any ideas on how to get this data OrderForm.LineItems does not provide access to actual Product Info; ...Show All

SQL Server DTS : Error with Data Pump
Hi everyone, not sure my question has to be set in this board but here we go I'm designing tasks to import data from txt files and never had any trouble with that until now. Here's the trick : the file I'm importing has tabs as divider and CR (carriage return) as end of line. The last column is optional, this way a ligne could end by "data tab cr". No problems, that works... except for the last line in the file ! If the last line ends by a "data tab data cr eof", the data are successfully imported with null value in the table ; a line ending with "data tab cr eof" will also be successfully imported but the column in the table will have a weird character (looks like a line feed or whatever). I've ...Show All

Visual C++ BuildAction Property in C++?
I can not find the Build Action Property seen in C# on an XML file, in my C++/CLI project. I am converting a large C# control to C++/CLI. The author of the control seems to have embedded an xml file into the assembly. I need help in figuring out how to do this in C++/CLI. The property list of the file under C# is considerably different than the propery list uder C++. Among the missing is: "Build Action: Embedded Resource". Please refer me to documentation where I can learn how to embed an xml file as a C++ project resource. I'm guessing a bit because I haven't tried it but it looks like the Assembly Linker can embed a arbitrary file into an assembly. Run Al.exe with the /embed command line option as a postbuild step ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions LoginForm1.vb problems
I am a new coder (only been doing it for a couple of months) and I am having some trouble with the templete LoginForm1.vb in Visual Basic Express Edition. I can't figure out what code I need, nor am I really sure of the way to go about using the form. I've done some looking on the MSDN Library but all they have their is logins for web applications. Since what I am creating is a windows app then this doesn't help me. If I could get some help in really simple terms that would be great. I've also looked at some other posts on this forum concerning this problem and they didn't help me too muchl unfortunately the link you sent me didn't help too much. What I can't figure out is what I need to do so that when som ...Show All

SQL Server Deployment error: Expected C.0.8.43
We are trying to deploy a report server project from an XP Dev box to a Server2003 production environment. Both computers are running SQL Server 2005 with SP1 installed. We have tried to deploy by (1) a deploy over the network and (2) a database backup of the ReportServer database and then a restore to the Server 2003 system. Both methods give us exactly the same error... The version of the report server database is either in a format that is not valid, or it cannot be read. The found version is 'Unknown'. The expected version is 'C.0.8.43'. To continue, update the version of the report server database and verify access rights. Why are we getting this error Regards, Gary R ...Show All
