• Visual Studio Team System Missing references in web project

  Hi I have a problem with a web project in our solution. When I get the solution form source control, into say an empty workspace, I am unable to successfully compile the solution as the web project is missing some references. I add the references and everything is okay. However when I try to view pending changes there are none. The missing references refer to a couple of dll's that we have written and are found in a library directory that is part of the solution. Can anyone tell me how I can make sure the references are included in the web project. We intend doing nightly builds but this will cause an issue as we need to manually add the references each time we get the solution fresh form source control. Thanks Brett ...Show All

• Visual Studio Integration of VSS 2005 and SQL Server in VS2005.

  Hello, We are in-process of integrating SQL Server stored procs in Visual Sourcesafe 2005. I was just wondering if we can do each and everything from Visual Studio 2005 IDE, one click solution, just like what it has for normal source code (c#,aspx). How can we customize VS2005 to intereact with Sql server procs with check-in/check out procedures. I understand VSTS for Database Professionals can be installed for this.

• Visual C# How can I change the volume using C#?

  How can I change the volume using C# Thanks, I want to use a trackbar or buttons (up and down) using QuartzTypeLib(quartz.dll) IMediaPosition, but when ever I try to change the vol., Value is out of range. Is there another way to change the volume other than using the Master Volume You can easily implement your own by inheriting from the TrackBar class and painting it yourself or completely building your own from scratch. Take a look at these two Code Project article on some examples on how it can be done. Also, rather than continuing to ask questions in this thread I would suggest asking new ones in separate threads so that they are visible to others and where you’d like get a faster response because despite activity ...Show All

  How much RAM is left to play with on the 360 once the launcher and runtime has loaded That would only let me know the available managed heap space - I'm assuming there is an unmanaged heap knocking around as well. An official breakdown of memory allocation would be useful as well - for instance, do the managed and unmanaged heaps fight for space, or do they have their space already allocated. And what goes into each heap when stuff is created - for instance with vertex/index buffers, textures, sounds.  ...Show All

• Visual C++ Files paths withing VS 2005?

  I guess I'm not smart enough to figure out how to get the file path of a file opened inside VS 2005. With VC6 you could get a file's properties and there view the path. I guess Microsoft determined that wasn't usefull so its not in VS 2005. So is it possible to get the path of a file opened in VS or is a yet another thing that makes me wish I could go back to VC6 When you've got a file selected, take a look at the Properties window (likely) in the lower right hand side of your window to see the file properties. If you do not see that Window, from the View menu select Properties Window and try again. ...Show All
