• Visual Studio Team System is there a way to add more priority levels?

  i have looking around for a while trying to find some way where i can add more priority levels and instead of have 1 2 3 i have critical high etc is there any way of doing this and is it possible with the process template editor Thanks Hello, Yes, you can edit the Priority field in the Process template to add more values. This can be done by editing the work item type definition file using Process template editor or any xml editor. If you change the values from integers to strings, you might lose the capability to sort the items based on the value. Let me know if you have any more questions. ...Show All

• Windows Forms OMG Accidently discovered how to make any control readonly w/o Graying. (possibly a bug)

  This is a new version of the old put it all in a panel and disable the panel trick. I did this in Visual Studio 2005 and it is repeatable. I discovered this entirely by accident. Create a new User Control (You use this as your "Panel") now drop in a text box, and , some combo boxes and a few checkboxes for good measure. Normally when you diable your user control any child controls are also diabled as is the new way , but check this out. Add the followign Code to your user control protected override void OnEnabledChanged( EventArgs e) { foreach ( Control childC in this .Controls) { childC.Enabled = false ; } base .OnEnabledChanged(e); } Thats it!!!!!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Entities: Think, Update, Create, Collide, Render -- Stumped!

  Hey all, Thanks to all of your suggestions from previous topics, I'm finally 'working on the game' sort of speak. My final (or near final) hurdle is in the controlling and creation of entities. Game entities need to be able to think (what's around me Should I get out of it's way ), update (move based on your velocity), collide (whoops I hit something), create other entities (I'm shootin' mah gun!) and render themselves. Every problem is easy to handle individually: Think: Can be performed inside the Update method. Update: Entity.Update() Collide: Run through all the entities, do some culling of what's obviously too far away, and check the rest. Spawn: EntityFactory.Create(typeof(Bullet)) Render: Entity.Render() Combined, however, it begin ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Options for Updating Excel displayed thru Excel Web Access ?

  I'm developing a dashboard which contains some graphs surfaced through Excel Web Access. This works great. However, is there a way of updating the Excel data without going into Excel (e.g. via a synchronized SharePoint list or by using infoPath) so I have more control over the UI I'm really looked for a code free solution so I don't have to worry about maintenance and deployment issues in the future, and so power users can also use the same method for their own sites.

• Visual Basic Inconsistent Operation between OS/PC's

  Hi all, I've written a small application, that consists of a text label, a gif image and a button, which is compiled into an executable image. On button press, the following callback code is executed to try and determine the domain name of the host computer. However, depending on what computer I run the application upon, I see different results. On some PCs, the routine runs correctly and the domain is printed to the screen. On other PCs, the application launches but the domain name fails to be printed. Finally, on some PC's the application fails to launch, and an error message is displayed. I'm wondering if any of my code maybe OS/machine dependent Or, perhaps, maybe there is an issue with the handling of the gif imag ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA redistributable 1.0: having trouble distributing

  I've tried to publish my first XNA game on another PC in my house; that PC has .NET installed. I also downloaded and installed the XNA redistributable 1.0 onto that machine, but when I try to run my game's setup, I'm told that the XNA Framework 1.0.0.0 must be installed in the "Global Assembly Cache (GAC)". Now, this is a game I made in the GSE Beta 2, but the error message relates to XNA 1.0, not my application. Any advice Alternatively you can just change the "Require specific version" property to false in your XNA assembly references. The reason for this is that our final release is signed with a different key to the beta assemblies, so projects created using the beta and set ...Show All
