• Visual Studio Team System No appropriate mapping exists for - during baseless merge

  Please help - I'm baffled. I'm doing a tfs merge /baseless <source> <destination> /recursive No matter which direction I attempt to go (switching the source and destination) the destination path keeps getting a return stating: No appropriate mapping exists for <destination path> I do have mappings for both - so I'm not sure what I'm missing here. Any suggestions My apologies for being so long getting back to you. The command I'm attempting to run is: C:\Projects\Demo_1.50.0.8>tf merge /baseless demo_1.50.0.8 c:\projects\maint_1.51.0.2 /recursive My workspace mappings are: GV-Demo MSSGROUP\kkidwell GV-KKIDWELLLTXP GV-KKIDWELLLTXP MSSGROUP\kkidwell ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 16 channel Real Time signal rendering: Should I go for DirectX?

  I'm refurbrishing an old VB6 application that displays up to 16 signals, at 100 samples per second, along with some icons on the screen. The user decides on the on-screen resolution by means of a zoom function key. Now in the design phase, I need some more information to decide on taking Direct-X or GDI+ path. I've been going through several sample applications, and so far, I've got the feeling that Direct-X is suited to heavily drive the graphics processor in order to render very fast moving sprites and meshes. Instead, GDI+ is a more generic interface layer in between the old API's and the application. Not as efficient as Direct-X. The question is: Given that the curves move so fast on screen, should I better take Direct-X inste ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Get and Set the position of a scroll bar of a ListBox in NETCF2

  Is it possible to set the position of a ListBox scroll bar in C#. I've inherited the ListBox class. I get a NullReferenceException when I try to do this: IEnumerator i = listBox1.Controls.GetEnumerator(); i.MoveNext(); MessageBox .Show( string .Format( "i.Current.Visible.ToString() = {0}" , (( ScrollBar )i.Current).Visible .ToString())); i.Current returns NULL. It works for a datagrid. Datagrid is a composite control written in netcf entirely. Listbox is a native control - it does not expose the scroll bar control. Normally you would set the TopIndex property to position the scroll bar ...Show All

• .NET Development Strong names for assemblies

  Hello, I'm a new developer (in several senses of the word "new") and I am working on a large-scale internal project requiring testing of code written before I got here. I have already used the CLR profiler successfully on a production release of the product. However, the CLR Profiler is not giving me the information I really need (how long a process takes in real time); so I've written a short assembly that I've attached to certain methods in the project that writes out to an external file with a trace and other information. The problem that has arisen is, in one specific class, this assembly causes a build error, because it is not a "strongly named assembly." How exactly does one name an assembly strongly BTW. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem with DirectX 9.0C

  Hi, I tried to install DirectX 9.0C on my machine which has a Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2, v.2055 (2600.xpsp_sp2_beta1.031215-1745) operating system. It got installed with a message " The components are installed and ready to use". However when i ran the DirectX diagnostic tool (dxdiag.exe), the version was shown as DirectX 9.0b (4.09.0000.0902). Now when i start a game which requires DirectX 9.0c, it says that DirectX 9.0c is not installed on the system. Please help me this time. Last time my thread was deleted by the Moderator, The ZMan.

• Visual Studio Team System Error when trying to build

  Hi, I'm trying to run a Team Build on my local machine, connecting to our lab TFS server. This has been working before. Now I'm getting a TF42056 error (Requested registry access is not allowed). Any suggestions on why and what to do would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Christian It sounds like the account used to run the build service on the build machine no longer has access to the registry. You could turn on tracing in the tfsbuildservice.exe.config file by uncommenting the diagnostics section and restart the Team Build Service Windows service (tfsbuildservice.exe.config is in c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\common7\ide\privateassemblies). If that doesn't help diagnose the problem ...Show All

• .NET Development Unmanaged to managed callback through wrapper: this works but is it good?

    I implemented callback in mixed mode the following way and it works fine but I wonder if this is the right way to do it. In particular, is this 100% safe I mean could there be some obscure GC/CLR "event" that would make it crash at some point, for instance should not I be using pin pointers It works this way: a delegate is declared in C# and used as argument to the setCallBack() function of a C++ .net wrapper. This function casts this pointer and use it to initialize the callBack pointer value in an unmanaged C++ class (it also keeps its value so the Wrapper can also call the callback). The C++ .net wrapper is shown below: public ref class WrapperClass { public : delegate int CallbackType(); ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Schema aware XLinq

  I managed to get some time to read the Linq project overview and play around a bit more. I had some thoughts on how Xml Schema and Xlinq could work well together based on one or two examples i found in the document. I've no idea whether this could happen, but in the word of deferred query evaluation anything is possible :) Consider this example within the document : IEnumerable<Person> persons = from e in x.Descendants("Person") select new Person { Name = e.Value, Age = (int )e.Attribute("Age") 21 }; It would be nicer for me to have previously done this: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <xs:schema id="XMLSchema1" elementFormDefault="qua ...Show All
