• Visual Studio Team System List of Workspaces for a given Team Project

• Visual C++ Problem with x64 hello world app...

  Hi all, I've been trying to port a 32bit app to 64bit these past days, and finally got the thing to compile and link after a long struggle. needless to say, the thing refuses to run on my x64 XP machine, it's missing a number of libraries (assemblies, or whatever the term en vogue these days may be. God, does anybody remember the days when code was just code Sigh.) Anyhow.... I thus am now trying to create the simplest of all apps, a hello world app built to the x64 target. Same thing happens though. Now interestingly I ran 64bit dependency walker, and on my (big) application it finds that MSJAVA.DLL is missing (what a load of bollocks. I don't use java, nowhere and never) and the hello world app is missing MSVCR80.DLL as well as MSJA ...Show All

• Windows Forms Making a form modal on a thread

  Hello, I have a winforms application that calls another form. I'd like this form to be modal, in the sense that the user must and should close this form to get back to the parent form. So, for this purpose i'm showing the child form as ShowDialog(). It works fine. The problem I have is when I call the same child form from a thread spawned by the original form. Then the child doesnt act modal. How can make the child modal across threads too Thanks!! I tried both ways and it worked. Thanks guys. In this context, i have a question. I keep reading that calling controls (such as textbox) from a thread will cause an exception. In the case that a thread should output state information to the text ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Elementary VC-1 for WME SE

  Is there a release date in sight for elementary VC-1 support with the WMEncoder Studio Edition The resulting ASVs from the current release are great, but they don't work (because they're non-elementary streams) for authoring to media. This makes it difficult for our C&A division to sync projects with our HDi group... Unfortunately, we don't have a date for the next version of WMV SE. PEP is our supported tool for VC-1 elementary stream encoding. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Trying to customize the "Assigned To" field

  I am trying to customize the Assigned To field for a workitem to include my QA group (as the group) so that when a bug has been fixed by a developer it can be forwarded to QA without having to pick a certain individual. I have done a fair amount of searching on these forums and it seemed that I should customize each work item's Assigned To field as follows: <FIELD name="Assigned To" refname="System.AssignedTo" type="String" reportable="dimension"> <ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true"> <LISTITEM value = "Contributors" /> <LISTITEM value = "NITSS QA" /> <LISTITEM value = "Project Lead" /> --> </A ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions manually highlighting start menu entries through VB

  Here's what I would like to do.... You know how windows will highlight newly installed entries in the start menu for a short period after you install them ..... well, I would like to be able to control this. I would like certain start menu entries to always be highlighted so they stand out and are easy to find. In short, I would like to write a program that would allow me (or another user) to choose which entries are highlighted and which are not, and to control how long they are highlighted for. Could anyone point me in the right direction for implementing this functionality using VB (I have access to a machine with VB Enterprise also, in case this isn't possible in Express Edition) Many thanks for any help :) These forums have ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Device Emulator COM port problems

  I'm using Pocket PC 2003 device emulator v8.0.50727.42 and am trying to use the COM ports by mapping them to COM1 of my PC I can successfully create a handle for serial port 0 (COM1) or serial port 2 (COM3), but it fails for serial port 1 (COM2 ). In addition if I try and write to serial port 0 I get the first byte out of my PC COM port but then my application on the emulator appears to block on the call to WriteFile. If I click on the emulator frame a few more bytes get sent and then it blocks again. If I write to serial port 2 the application appears to successfully send the data i.e. no block this time, but nothing comes out of my PC COM port. I've run the application on a HP Pocket PC using it's COM1 port and the application works fine ...Show All
