• Visual Studio Team System Displaying build status

  Hello, I am writing an application for administrating builds (starting, stopping, deleting, etc.) using the TeamFoundation object model. I need to display the build status form (or something similar) for both running and completed builds. There is a BuildProgressForm in Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Client namespace but I couldn't find any documentation and I get it to work. Any ideas Thank You, shay Not that I am aware of, but I'll ask around and see if anybody else knows more on the topic. To recreate some of the GUI from this form, you would want to use the GetBuildSteps web method (which will give all of the completed and in-process build steps). -Aaron ...Show All

However, when the report is exported to excel, the field value shows up as a decimal ie 0.4. How do i keep the number to show as an integer only ie 0, when exported to excel.

• Visual C# Versatility/Practicality of C#?

  Hey all, new to posting but ive been reading here for a few weeks. Anyway, on with my question (which probably has been asked in some way already)- How versatile is VC# compared to VC++ All I generally see are simple (*duck/cover* ) desktop applications. I've read that its possible to do game dev (including DX and OpenGL), but I have yet to find any engines done in C#. I have just looked at API's/engines/SDK's for games, but I have not gotten actually into manipulating/programming in them yet. I've done some basic reading on C# and I sort of want to get into it, but I plan on in a few years down the line working for Lockheed (or a defense contractor of some sort) or EA-Tiburon. I've been programming since I was probably around 10, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX8 and Vista Compatibility

  (split from http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1221168  to make a new question) It is interesting that you say that because I am testing a VB6 app that was working fine on XP and below but now fails on Vista when it tries to create a DirectX8 object, specifically Set oDX = new DirectX8 throws Error 429, ActiveX failed to create component. Running in XP SP2 compatibility mode does not work either. I would be really grateful if anyone has any ideas on this.  I also tried running the latest DX9 redistributable because I heard that was providing backward compatibility, but to no avail. Thanks.

• Visual C++ 1st TIME USER, please help me to install the STK in Visual Studio 2005

  Hello everyone, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm VERY new to this. Have been bumbling through C++ at uni (it's a module on my Sound Tech course) but now it's Xmas holidays and there are no tutors to pester! I've managed to get hold of Visual Studio 2005 and I need to know how to get the STK file working with it. My plan is to build a very simple interface that allows the user to manipulate resonance, filter cutoff, LFO speed etc of a sample they can input. Kind of like a Kaos pad, but without the nice touch screen! Anyway, ANY help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Matt I have no idea what to tell you. Can you be specific about what you don't understand then we might be ab ...Show All

• .NET Development SQLDataReader.GetOrdinal() fails rarely with IndexOutOfRange

  Hi everybody, We were developed some Web-Services that run against SQL Server 2000 with SQLDataReader that executing Stored Procedures in the DB. Most of time (95%) everything is running well, but sometimes (when exactly, we don't know) the same WebService that worked 200 times, fail.

• Visual C++ Change DLL Search Order Dynamically?

  Is there a way I can alter the dll search order dynamically (launching executable process) * SetDllDirectory( ) only works with LoadLibrary/LoadLibraryEx * CreateProcess( ) doesn't seem to have any flags/parameters to toy with. * LoadLibrary( )/LoadLibraryEx( ) don't load executable bits for executing (only for resource manipulation) * Changing values in the registry upon load is unacceptable and would likely break anyway. Yea, I went down the Detours path but couldn't find a way to avoid having to write a copy of the original executable to disk so I abandoned it. If I could use Detours and pipe the output to a portion of memory and execute it, then I'd switch back to it. My only solution right now i ...Show All

• Visual Basic debug a web application on a server?

• Visual Studio Upgrade to VS2005 Pro or buy CRXI Developer?

  Hi, I recently purchase VS2005 Standard edition, and after finding out I couldn't include a crystal report from Crystal Reports 9 I've got a decision to make.
