• Visual Studio Express Editions Need to copy a project

  I need to copy one project including the form and create a new project. I will then make changes to the new project that allow the code to operate on a very similar manner but on a different data base. I don't want to clutter up the original project to make it do both. It would seem that the ability to copy an entire project and put a different name on it would be a simple way to save time and coding efforts. Thanks. It's easy to do with Windows Explorer. Select the directory containing the project Right Click Context Menu - Copy Select another Directory or the Current directory, right click context menu .... Paste ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can the requests from one webtest copied to another webtest?

  Hi, I need to record a webtest which has more than 30 requests.Somehow, in the middle i need to re-record some requests. Is it possible to copy some of the request and to delete the remaining to finish it off Kindly guide. Thanks - Vijay. You could make a copy of the entire web test and delete the requests you no longer need. You can also select a request in the editor and copy it to the clipboard. You can paste this request into another web test. However, you have to be aware of dependencies in the web test. Say for instance requestA has an extraction rule that extracts a certain value into the test context. If requestB binds to the value that request A extracted, than you would need to copy both r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Changing VS edition on a production build server

  Hello, We're interested in expanding our use of VSTS from our current Dev + TFS workgroup setup, to incorporate the Test edition as well. Since we only have MSDN subscriptions for the Dev edition, we're using the Team Suite 180-day trial to play around and see if it meets our needs. Everything's working great on the developer machine side; we've built some tests and are happy with what we've got, but unfortunately, because our TFS build machine doesn't have the Test edition of VS installed, the necessary DLLs aren't installed, so we end up with a bunch of lines like this in our build logs: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v8.0\TeamBuild\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets : warning : TestTypes\{37e36796-fb51-461 ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint Services 3.0 and AD Security Groups?

  I am running Sharepoint Services 3.0 on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. Everything setup without issue and works without issue. I can add AD security groups to Sharepoint groups and the users get access. However the only security groups that actually grant access are the groups that were there prior to the Sharepoint install. Any groups that were created after the install or changes to those groups are not granted access in Sharepoint. Basically I add a presharepoint ad security group to a sharepoint group for access and it works beautifully. I create a new group, add a user to it, and add it to the sharepoint group - it adds without issue but does not grant access to the site. I even tried creating the group, adding it to the site and lettin ...Show All

• .NET Development PROBLEM WITH FTP FIREWALL IN C#

  My problem deals with the fact that I was able to FTP files to and from a friend's site that doesn't have a firewall but I now have the real FTP information and it does have a firewall and I have no idea how to FTP a file to this new FTP location. I am under severe time pressure and would like to see the commands necessary in C# and NET 2.0 to accomplish this goal. Here is an example I was given by the site administrator using DOS FTP to access and upload a file. I will change the passwords in the example below: ftp -n open edifxpbw.geia.com user yppc112 yppc110GX user 10033XDIR@edi.yppc.geia.com 15211 HENRY binary put DirectoryStart.dat %YPPC-TEST%DIR ls mblist Here is an example of an upload that I created in C# ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Changing Roles

  I am both a tester and a developer. Is there are easy way to change roles in VSTS ~Todd Here is what I need more specifically. The first time you open VSTS it asks you what kind of role you are. They are a bunch of choices I remember Tester and Developer being. Based on this choice VSTS has different toolbars present as defaults. I can just set it up so that I have all of the toolbars that I ever need but when I am coding I don’t need the Testing toolbars. Plus the extra toolbars make the workspace a bit small. Pretty much I am asking can I change the decision I made the first time I ran VSTS. I hope this is more clear. Thank you very much. ~Todd ...Show All

• Visual C++ Member-window in Class View flickers in Visual Studio 2005

  Hello, Product: Visual Studio 2005, version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM-050727-4200). When selecting a class in the Class View, Class View lower panes shows the members. However the member-list refreshes almost every second, resulting in an anoying flickering of the view. Moreover scrolling in the Class View upper pane, becomes difficult, for after each refresh, the focus is set to the active class. Is there a workaround to avoid the flickering Join the crowd. For me, this behavior comes and goes depending on the contents of the headers. Something is likely failing to parse or tricking the parser into a loop. Try deleting some headers from the "Header Files" section of the solution. You would be looking for something u ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Development Project Plan marked as read-only

  We do have the problem that a project plan (*.mpp) can only be opened in read-write mode very rarely. Although no one of our team has the project plan open ms project states that the file is in use and therefore can be opened in read-only mode only. Even when one team member opens the file on his machine and closes it afterwords he can not open it again. The same behaviour is observed when the file is opende using sharepoint project home page. After some unpredictable timespan the file is not locked any more. Is this a known issue thomas Thanks for the reply! Since we did not find a predictable way to avoid the read-only behaviour: is there a conrete timespan someone has to wait for the release ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bounding Box of a Model after rotating (and scaling) it.

  Hello :) I was wondering how I would go about getting the (axis aligned) bounding box of a model after rotating and scaling it   Thanks for the answer CodePfo, yet I fear simply rotating the AABB is not quite what I am looking for. Rotating a model can change a model's AABB considerably. Think of a model shaped like a long tube for instance. When it is positionened along the z-axis it's bounding box is simply an unrounded version of the tube. Position the tube diagonally in the scene and the its bounding box will look completely different. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dream Build Play Contest Question - Using languages other than C#

  I've managed to use Chrome ( www.remobjects.com ) to create some small XNA demos that use the content from SpaceWars. The rules do not mention whether non C# langauges are allowed to enter the contest. Since there are several .NET 2.0 compatible compilers out there shouldn't this contest allow these entries as well as they can use both the Windows and XBox 360 XNA assemblies. Just to clarify, I have Visual C# Express and Game Studio Express installed on my machine, but am using Chrome via Visual Studion 2005 to write and compile my XNA demos and the plan is to use that combination to write future XNA games and contest entries. Could someone from the XNA contest team please clarify your position on the use of non C# languages for the Dream ...Show All
