• Visual Studio Team System VSS Coverter crashes during migration.

  I have been trying to migrate the VSS data to TFS Source Control. Initially I tried with full database (around 4GB size with 36135 actions). VSS Converter finished in 3 hrs and 37 min with 4242 errors. Most of the code files were w/o history. It wasn't expectable so I restored the fresh TFS version control database (backed up before migration) and again attempted with incremental migration. This time it went quite far with just 345 errors but eventually crashed before completing the job. Here is the message I got: Verifying pinned versions... The application is unable to handle exception: An item with the same key has alr eady been added. Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added. ...Show All

  Hello, I am developing an application, where parts are accessed as an ASP.Net Page and some parts are used in an winform application. I am using the state machine paradigm to connect the two.

  I'm trying to get started evaulating the RTC API to build standard text IM capabilities into an existing application, and seem to be having troubles with the install....

• Visual C++ stack function to simulate memory use

  Have a program that I need to build a stack function for. Any ideas on where to look for help - or does anyone have code needed . I want the stack function to update a two dimensional array (memorytable in code below). It would only update column 2 with a page number (as a character). But as user inputs data and the array becomes full - the oldest member in the column needs to be replaced with new data. If a page number is in page column and it is accessed again it needs to get a new time stamp - or go to bottom of stack It has to replace pages on a LRU (Least Recently Used) basis. This is the code I have so far - commented code and put it in bold to show where I'd like to add stack: #include <iostream> #include <conio.h> ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums How are people doing Custom Controls?

  I am new to Visual Earth and I am starting to look at how to implement my application. The application that we are planning on doing will have a lot of functionality built on top of VE. I see where you can add custom controls and I have looked at a some demo sites and I have the following questions. 1) Is there any third party vendors that provide a VE friendly set of widgets to use with VE that include Menus, dialog boxes, etc. 2) I notice that most of the controls (Well all I have treid) that appear cannot be dragged. Is this a limitation or a design choice 3) If one is wanting to add a custom menu that pops up with the right button, is there some sample code on how one would accomplish this feature. 4) Is there any plans for Micr ...Show All
