• Visual Studio Team System how to use generic test to run vb script

  I have an existing vbscript which do the actual testing. And I can put this command into a generic test: "cscript.exe myscript.vbs". In the script, I use WScript.Quit(1) for test failure. But the question is how can I pass the return value from script host to Generic Test and tell it's pass/fail Thanks, Frank Hi Frank, If your existing test uses process exit codes to communicate whether the test passed or failed (0 for passing, any other value for failure), you can wrap it into a generic test with no problems, everything should be fine. If you want detailed results, then you will need to modify your test sources so that they use an XML file to communicate the detailed results. The XML file must conform to th ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies documents per view

  Hi,   I have a webpart that shows me the nr of documents of a library that have a certain view. The user can enter a certain view, wicht exists for that library, and then it shows the # of documents that view has. If the view has a filter, and it shows 2 of the 3 documents of the library, then i want my result only 2. Now I can only make this happen if the user selects this view as the Current View, but I want this result also when the user has not selected this view as current. So what I actually try to achieve is when, in Sharepoint, you go to your Document Library, and choose on a certain view, i want the list of the documents that are in that view. Here's my code so far, does anybody have a clue Thanks in adva ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 System UDF function and Procedures

  In SQL 2000 for Procedures this was done by writing procs in Master db prefixing the name with sp_ and using exec sp_MS_marksystemobject procname In SQL 2000 for functions we wrote function in Master db like so system_function_schema Create Function system_function_schema.fn_v_filler  ( How would one go about it in 2005 Regards. At this point in time, it appears that sp_MS_marksystemobject still works in SQl2005 SP1(I've just tested it, and it runs, and does what it needs to, allowing an SP created in master, to be used as a system stored procedure), but naturally, as pointed out by Clifford, we should not base code on these, since they may be changed/removed at any point in time (read SP, even hotfix ). ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Capture output from other compilers

  Hi. Not sure whether this question belongs in this forum or a more generic MSBuild one, but here goes. From reading responses to questions about using non Microsoft compilers (e.g. gcc) with MSBuild/XNABuild it seems that the conventional wisdom is to use the Exec task. However, the documentation for this states "One disadvantage of using the Exec task rather than a more specific task is that it cannot gather output from the tool or command that it runs." I am investigating MSBuild/XNABuild for use in a potentially multi-platform project, and would like to know if this caveat would mean that the display/parsing of compilation errors would be suppressed when using, for instance, gcc. The ideal goal would be to use Visual Studio as ...Show All
