• Visual Studio Team System Some simple questions about TFS Licensing.

  Hi folks, i'm not the normal licensing guy out our company so i hope this isn't too much of a silly question. When i was checking out this website ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/howtobuy/Default.aspx ) for pricing i noticed two fields for TFS:- 1) Server: AU$ 4,057.00 2) CAL: AU$ 723.00. a ) Does this mean the company needs to purchase the server license which allows us to host the product. b ) Then, we need to purchase a seperate CAL for _each user_ who wishes to connect to the TFS application (with the exception of the TFS administrator to administer the server), eg. via the team explorer in VS2005 Now, before you ask about what version of VS2005, we're looking at either standard or pro. c ) We're thinking about ...Show All

• Windows Networking Development Weird one - Router Death by Vista

  Here's a weird one. It seems that Vista RC2 is routinely killing my ADSL router I have a dual boot system (patched up XP Pro vs Vista RC2). Vista seems to be killing my D-Link DSL-500 like...., several times a day while Vista is running. Has anyone else noticed this I'm thinking.... some sort of weird network plug and play thing (which is disabled - by the way) RickW The symptoms sound similar. I will try disabling IPv6 too. BTW: When I went to reply.... the router had hung and needed to be rebooted . ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Animation Exception thrown seems wrong -

  mStoryboard.Seek( this , TimeSpan .FromMilliseconds(0), TimeSeekOrigin .Duration ); (SkipToFill doesn't work either) I Created a project in Blend, added a 10 second, 10 frame vid - each frame has 1 digit 0-9. If I pull the storyboard from the resources and do a Begin/Stop sequence and then run the above line of code I get the exception: "The ClockController.Seek method was called using TimeSeekOrigin.Duration as the seekOrigin parameter for a Clock that has a duration of Forever. Clocks that have duration of Forever must use TimeSeekOrigin.BeginTime." The storyboard and MediaTimeline are not DurationForever or RepeatForever. Also - to use TimeSeekOrigin .BeginTime I need to know the duration and I have no easy ...Show All

• Visual C# IIS Web Control Panel

• Visual C++ copy constructor compiler bug

  It seems to me that I found a bug in Visual C++ compiler. The thing is about copy constructor in context of throwing. As the Standard specifies [15.1 Throwing an exception, points 3-5] thrown object is copied to a temporary object. This temporary may be eliminated if eliminating it only removes a call to copy constructor and destructor for it. But removed or not the type of thrown object must be copyable (by constructor) and destructible (both functions must be accessible in the appropriate context) otherwise program is ill-formed. For testing I used Visual 6.0 (a little bit), Visual C++ 2003 Toolkit, Visual C++ 2005 .NET (both used with options /Wall /EHsc) and Cygwin (used with options -Wall). Here is the first bug. Lets consid ...Show All

  In this up i made i need to have a text document start when the app is fired for the first time then not again after that. The setting is saved per user and per version of your application. If you have run the app in the debugger, you can use the "Synchronize" button in the settings designer in order to "reset" the setting to its default value. You don't need to do this in order to publish your application, however - as soon as another user runs the app, it will be the first time for them (on that machine) Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All
