Visual Studio Team System MSBuild error due to long filenames
When trying to build one solution within a TFS project that also contains my database project the entire build fails because of the file names of some of the generated schema objects: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets(301,5): error : TF10128: The path c:\builds\leontest\Alchemy\Leon Test Build\Sources\Mercury Database\Mercury Database\Schema Objects\Tables\Indexes\dbo.tblwAppointmentLineItemsRequiringRemedialWork.IX_tblwAppointmentLineItemsRequiringRemedialWork_PortionOfLineItemScheduledOnAppointment.index.sql contains more than the allowed 260 characters. Type or select a shorter path. I'm not even including the database project in the build, and so it's quite annoy ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Which version of Windows Media Player for WPF (RC 1)?
Which version of Windows Media Player for WPF (.NET 3.0 RC 1) should we use if we want to muck around with Video, Video Brushes etc and wmv files etc. cheers Hi Everybody, I rolled back to WMP 10, now the SDKs "MediaGallery" works properly. so it looks to me like RC1 only works with WMP 10, not 9 that comes with XP and Not 11. Is this going to change I just had a bad dream, my customer first installs the dot net framework and then a new media player and by that time he is so old he has forgotten about my program. ;) It going to change, right Later Mike ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ObservableCollection for IList
Why the ObservableCollection accepts only List<T> in the constructor It would be nice to have IList<T> support as well in ObservableCollection. I have IList<T> implementation (Db4oList) which uses db4o ( www.db4o.com ) object database internaly to activate and deactivate list items in memory. The list can have a large number of objects (but only a specified amount of objects is kept in memory) and it is not practical to use List<T> constructor because it enumerates all objects. I just want to know whether ObservableCollection will have constructor for IList<T>, otherwise I will implement INotifyCollectionChanged directly. ...Show All
Internet Explorer Development IE7: BeforeNavigate2 not called any more on javascript links
Hello, I have discovered that IE7 does not call the DWebBrowserEvents2 event BEFORENAVIGATE2 any more when the user clicks on a javascript link. The event was invoked in IE6 and allowed BHOs to handle javascript links. Before IE7 it was possible to cancel, modify or otherwise react on javascript invocations. I used this functionality to implement a pop-up blocker for IE. Example Code <html> <body> <a href="j a v a s c r i p t : alert('pop-up');">Pop-Up</a> </body> </html> // added spaces between "j a v a s c r ip t :" to be able to post the code Please call the BeforeNavigate2 event again for backward-compatability reasons or introduce a new event whenever a javascript link is act ...Show All
Commerce Server Commerce Server Inventory Update from BizTalk
Hello, I am trying to arbitrarily modify a products "List Price" in the Commerce Server inventory from a BizTalk server. From what I understand I have to construct an inventory message to send to the BizTalk Commerce Server Send Adapter. Essentially I have a product ID and a new price to set ion commerce server. Do I have to construct a complete inventory message for a given item, or can I just send product ID and price Or should I query the original inventory record and then modify the List Price property before sending it back to the inventory adapter I am just beginning to wrap my head around this process so I apologize if this doesn't make any sense. Any info in the right direction would be a huge help. Thanks a ton. Jason ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons
Hi, I have a strange but not so strange request. Why the close, minimize and maximize buttons on the caption are all together on the right side Sometime I close a window while I was wanting to minimize it. Wouldn't it be a nice idea to put the minimize and maximize buttons on the left corner and leave the close one on the right I know that this would have a deep impact on Windows but: this solution is more ergonomic Vista has a new user experience so it's the right moment to do this change What do you think Thanks Diego ...Show All
Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Passing Function As Argument
I dunno if it's possible, but I'd like to pass a function name as an argument to a function. The idea is to use the result of the function to do some calculations, no matter what the function is. It would be like this: Function Find_Zeros( Function_Name As Function, Value_X As Double, etc) Thanks in advance. You can do it like this as VBA does not allow for pointers to functions. I did not know what the values of Left and Right should be. With both at zero the function runs out of stack. Sub Test() MsgBox Find_Zero("Function1", Left, Right) MsgBox Find_Zero("Function2", Left, Right) End Sub Function Function1(Value) As Double Function1 = Value - 10 End Function Funct ...Show All
Visual C# Is there such a thing as a multidimensional Arraylist or List? If so. Syntax?
Hi! I'm new to C# (and programming for that matter), so this might be a really dumb question. I want to create a multidimensional array where each item is an arraylist. I have a bunch of data, that fits different criteria, and I want to be able to store these in different rows of a multidimensional array. New data, for each criteria, is being generated, so I need the arrays to be able to resize. What I would like to be able to do is something along the lines of this: List<double>[,] myData = new List<double>[2,2]; Meaning a 2x2 array, containing in each element a List<double>. And then I should be able to add data by a statement like: myData[0,0].Add(moreData); And retrieve data by: myData[0,0][someI ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System CPT6 Request:Object Checkbox(Select All/De-Select All)
Maybe I missed something, but can you folks add a "Select All / De-Select All) feature for objects returned from the DB compare function It's not efficient to manually walk through 100+ summary lines and choose include/don't include object changes. It would be faster to select "don't include" globally and then manually select the items I actually wanted. Also, if you really want to be fancy, it would be nice to be able to choose database items by object type. After comparing two database and looking to use the auto script builder, I was shocked to learn I had to "step-thru" each database object and choose yea or nay to include it in my alter script. Again, maybe I missed something ... ...Show All
SQL Server Web parts for Report Explorer
I understand that a report explorer in Sharepoint can be used to show the lists of available reports from the report server. However how do I restrict a particular account the categories of reports he can only view..from sharepoint configurations and not from report server..thanks. Regards Alu but is it possible to leave the settings in RS alone while configuring only the restrictions in SPS ..the reason being that I am trying to center the 'functionalites' around SPS and RS is just a collaboration to it thus more control from SPS instead of RS...
