• Visual Studio Team System Branch\Delete Checkin causes fileName collisions

  Hi, We are having a problem with TFS source control where a dev performed a branch, did not check the branch in, deleted the branch, and then checked in the pending changes. So we can see the problem here. A branch that was never comitted was deleted. I dont think TFS should allw this kind of operation but it did happen. So now the the dev has tried to recreate the branch. When doing so he is prompted to resolve the naming conflicts for all of the files that ha branched. He has 2 options. Undo local changes and something else. Neither option works and the branch can not be recreated because the conflicts can never be resolved. Is there anyway to make this work thanks. He can use tf undelet ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums custom pushpins in layer

  I've seen some examples of GeoRSS layers that don't seem to use the default pushpin. How do you specify custom pushpins for points loaded from a GeoRSS doc There some limitations with GeoRSS layers. One is you have to set the same icon for all pins, the other is the map will be zoomed and panned to fit all the pins. Also if you have more then 200 pins the control is very slow. If this is what you want then it works well. Otherwise I suggest you look at using AJAX to get dynamic javacript. This offers complete flexibility but needs more work.

• Visual C++ Visual C++/CLI

  Hi all.Is it fine if i use visual C# .net tutorials and resources for creating windows forms apps and incorparate the code into C++/CLI .net I mean, C++/CLI uses the .NET Framework also to create windows forms apps right So the only thing to change is the syntax(the "." to "::" or "->", variable declarations, conditional statements, classes etc etc) if i am correct here.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. World to screen conversion.

  Hi. Something weird when trying to covert world to screen coordinates. Vector3 res = Vector3.Transform(worldPoint, Camera.View * Projection); I get the result vector with values greater than 1. Aren't the values post projection supposed to be clamped Both the view and projection matrices are valid (and are used to display on screen). Cheers googling for that will totally turn you away from 3D drawing. if you have a 4D, or homogeneous, point, you simply need to divide the first 3 coordinates by the 4th coordinate. Then you get the usual 3 coordinates. You're only interested in the first 2 coords, but after dividing they're in the [-1, 1] region, so you need to divide by 2 and add +0.5 to get them in the [0, 1] region. A ...Show All

• SQL Server Report pages - reduce render time

  Is there a way to minimize the number of pages obtained from a report. My report has more than 9000 pages. I want to minimize the number of pages as it would fasten the rendering of the report in excel,pdf formats. how would one do this is there any expression . your help is very much appreciated. I am tearing my hair to minimize the time taken to render a report.! help pls! Thanks, You say the report is 9000 pages, so what did you have in mind when you say "minimize the number of pages" -- it seems like you already know how big the report is. If you only need to see some of the 9000 pages at a time, or only certain people need to see certain pages, you should filter the data (preferably at the data source) with paramete ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System link tfsredirect.aspx to queries?

  hello, i want to use the project portal to link directly to a query. is this possible i just know the possibility to link to a report: _layouts/tfsredirect.aspx IsReport=1&ReportName=pweb_kremmel_tasks would be great if this is possible. is there somewhere a "how to" document for the tfsredirect.aspx i searched for a document but i didn`t find one. greets thomas No, I'm afraid there's not way to link to a query from the web.
