• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Use XAML control within another XAML?

  This should be easy. I have a XAML file and want to use another object I created (also in XAML) within that file. For example < UserControl x:Class = " UserControlTest.MDIUserControl " xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " xmlns:my = " clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib " Width = " 836 " Height = " 495 " Opacity = " 1 " MinHeight = " 30 " MinWidth = " 30 " Background = " #00FFFFFF " " > <Grid> <MyControl> ..... </MyControl> </Grid> </Window> ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Protocol violation - can I change how sensible the test shall be to protocol errors?

  I get this error when running a test on a web page that I have no possibility to change: RequestFailed: The server committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseHeader Detail=CR must be followed by LF Is it possible to configure how the test shall handle this so the test will not fail I have been trying to repeat this problem but the VS2005 enviroment crashes on clicking in the treeview of recorded requests and when replaying it. The request is one web page only. Another try after uninstalling and reinstalling the June CTP behaved the same way. The pages are generated by a content management system and I have no problem when using other tools like Mercury Loadrunner or OpenSTA. When VS2005 crashes it generates a error report ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Single Instance BuildData Query?

  The BuildStore has a method that returns all of the BuildData for a specific Team Project + Team Build Type. What I'm looking for is a way to just get the last or current BuildData. Is this possible If not, maybe it could be considered for addition in a future update The current method: public BuildData [] GetListOfBuilds( string teamProject, string buildType); We have an automated build environment so we end up with a lot of builds and I would like to query the latest details for everything, instead of getting thousands of build details. Unfortunately, there's no way to get the server to do the filtering in v1. The closest thing would be to use the GetListOfBuilds() method. There will be ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2005 Windows Service calling VB 6.0 Program with UI?

  Well, back to what I was working on yesterday. I finally have my Windows Service (tiny little program) that, onStart, will check to see if another program is running and, if not, will launch that program. Right now I have it launching Internet Explorer. I **HOPE** that this is an easy problem (something a newbie like me could understand). When I start my service, it will launch the application (if it's not already running). However, I can't see the application. I've used Notepad and I've used Internet Explorer. When the service starts it writes to my little log file saying it was started at such and such a time. However, you will not see the Notepad or IE window open up. If you go into Task Manager, then you'll see iexplore.exe or notepad. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataTable Acts As Intermediator For DataGridView

  I have one DataGridViewand i have defined the columns for this datagridview but i don't specify the DataSource for this DataGridView. As a result, it is just a merely DataGridView with columns.   After that, i insert a data by using DataGridView1.Items(0,0).Value="data" and however one of the columns is check box column, if the user tick on it, another row will be created.   I tried to put this DataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRow=False after the code of inserting the data then the data cannot be added. No matter how i dont want new row to be generated so i think of using DataTable acts an intermediate table and set it as DataGridView1.DataSource. My problem is i have no idea how to specify value for a row of a column ...Show All

• SQL Server Recompiling Views

  Say I changed code inside a view using e.g. 'alter view' statement and then the view gets executed. Is it executed with the new code or I have to recompile it first Thanks Kris I have several views that are based on other views. At runtime we allow users to add a new field to a form, and we use a stored proc to add a corresponding field to the table that the form's view is based on. Is there a way in SQL 2005 to discover which views are based on my base view and then to recompile them Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• .NET Development Something like the MFC CWinThread class in .NET 2.0

  Hi reading the documentation of .NET 2.0 about threading programming I understant that it's possibile to create and run threads which execute a particular function. But I cannot find something like the MFC CWinThread class which is a persistent process waiting for incoming messages: it has its own message map and is events callbacks. Is there a class in .NET making the same job as CWinThread Marco The .NET equivalent is to start a new message loop in your second thread: Application.Run(new Form2()); Calling Form.ShowDialog() works too, as does MessageBox.Show(). Be careful and follow the .NET rules about accessing controls from other threads (Control.Invoke() et al). ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA with VertexBuffers only? (No loading content)

  I'm trying to create just a simple test app that draws some triangles on the screen.  I don't want to load any models, just use a VertexBuffer and IndexBuffer right now.  I load the buffers and set them on the GraphicsDevice.  When I call DrawIndexedPrimitives, I get the following error: "Both a valid vertex shader and  pixel shader (or valid effect) must be set on the device before draw operations may be performed." After some searching, I found a few people mentioning that your graphics driver must support vertex shader 2.0 and pixel shader 3.0.  The card isn't all that old, but to be sure, I checked the GraphicCapabilities on the GraphicsDevice and both the vertex and pixel shaders are 3.0.  So I don' ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Can't save Maintenance Plans

  If work on SQL Server 2005 (German) with SP1 installed. When I create a new maintenance plan, I allways get the error message "no description found" and the plan ist not saved. When I use the wizard, the maintenance plan is fine and works. But if I edit the plan same error message prohibits to save changes. I found many threads with the same problem but I found no solution nor an explanation why this error is returned. Thanks for any assumption, where the problem might be. Worked fine for me after SP1, but then the problem showed on machines running SP2, including my laptop.  Thinking this might be the cause, I removed SQL Server from my machine, installed it, and created a maint ...Show All

• SQL Server Logging Packages Execution

  Hello all, I am struggling around defining a logging mechanism for my packages. I have 2 questions concerning that matter: I have used event handlers for my loggings (as defined here: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/06/11/1593.aspx ), but the problem is with packages that failed validation. I cannot find log entry for these cases since no "onerror event" doesn't trigger (for instance when the table I'm loading to doesn't exsist). And the second question: many of my packages are executed using execute process task (using dtexec command line). I am trying to capture the result of the execution as a log file by using the ">" in the command line in order to output the execution to a lo ...Show All
