Visual Studio VS 2005 Addins to right-click menu
Hello guys, I try to create VS2005 addin to Team Explorer right-click menu. The idea is: When you open Source Control Explorer, choose the project and right-click on it you'll get the menu. You can choose: <Get Latest Version> and etc from this menu. My purpose to add my own command (Ex: Custom Get) to this menu. Most of the topics I've found in Google are describe how to add command to main command bar - like Tools-><Your command>, but I haven't found anything about right click menu. Please help.... Thanks Then you have to use FileMonitor from www.sysinternals.com to trace disk activity and discover why your add-in does not appear in the Add-In Manager ...Show All
Architecture Call Logging/Statistics System
Hello, I come to these forums hoping that somebody will be able to point me in the right direction of how I might go about solving my particular problem. I have very little knowledge of the related technologies (although I do have plenty of programming experience), and so I am looking for a starting point to build on. My company has a small call centre which uses a Splicecom maximiser phone system. We would like to implement some sort of call management call logging system, which will access the logging information which is available from a telnet port and transfer this into a database. Obviously this will require me being able to manipulate the data and have a way of accessing it from the port on the splicecom hardware. My first que ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bootstrap Communication with WS-Trust/WS-SecureConversation in WCF
Hello Guys, does anyone have an idea, how the bootstrap communication for WS-Trust/WS-SecureConversation in WCF work If the client has sent a RST message to the service to start the communication pattern, how can the service protect the RSTR message back to the client I guess, the RSTR-message will be encrypted. But the service does not know the public key of the client. How is the message being encrypted and signed by the service Thank you very much in advance! Best Regards, LLiu Security is established via the bootstrap and the secure conversation RST/SCT and RSTR/SCT are secured with the bootstrap binding. ...Show All
Visual Basic PrintForm not in toolbox after installation
I downloaded and installed PrintForm, but I cannot get it to appear in the toolbox. With the Coose Items dialog I can see that it's on the list of components, with a tick mark next to it. What can I do to get it in the toolbox I had done all you said already. The point is that after doing this, the PrintForm tool does not show up in the ToolBox, even though it did show (and was checked) on the Choose Toolbox items list. ...Show All

StatusChange() - this is also fired when the media stops playing. Checked for the OpenState then re-examine the currentMedia. ...Show All
Windows Forms Detect a form has closed?
Hi, I have a form (form1) that calls another form (form 2). when form 2 is closed i need to refresh data in form 1. is there anyway i can detect in form 1 that form 2 has closed Thanks. There are a couple of different patterns, depending on whether Form2 is a singleton or not. This is the most generic solution: private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form2 f2 = new Form2(); f2.FormClosed += Form2Closed; f2.Show(); } private void Form2Closed(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form2 f2 = (Form2)sender; // Do your stuff here } ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Learning a programming language AND game programming concepts simultaneously a pipe dream?
I'm tryig to learn C# programming with the aim of creating games, but boy is it a struggle. I think the stumbling block for most people (and I include myself in this group) whose primary interest in programming is games related, is that a large conceptual leap is required between document-based programming and real-time programming - and there simply isn't any sufficient discussion or tutorials explaining the fundamentals of the concept to ease the transition. The basic problem is anyone who starts out learning a language like C# pretty much finds themself with nothing but books teaching the language from the perspective of programming forms, event-handlers, interacting with controls and basically looking at exer ...Show All

Visual C++ CString pointer compatibility with const char* in VS 2005
Hi, I used a CString variable to instantiate a "const char* " argument of a C++ function. The VS 2005 IDE sent out an error C2664: 'xxx' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'CString' to 'const char *' message. Does anybody know how to deal with the problem Thanks, Jason LPCTSTR et al are probably best treated as typedefs for Win32 APIs, and not used in your own code. This "hungarian notion" for typedefs doesn't buy one very much other than to introduce "two different ways to say the same thing" in your code. For the original poster, I was suggesting a general replacement of char with TCHAR (using * and const as usual), so that assignments from CString internal buffer ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Waiting for completion of more than one activity in a state machine workflow
Dear all, I have a state machine workflow which needs to trigger a number of activities in parallel, wait for them all to complete, then move to the next state. The most relevant post concerning this was on a thread entitled "How can a "fork" (parallel split) pattern be implemented in a WF state machine workflow " back in September this year. Steve Danielson of Microsoft said: Not the best code in the world but I whipped up a Data Exchange Service that you can use to "join" a number of InvokeWorkflowActivity instances from the parent workflow. This is especially good when you are not aware of how many instances you will spin up (say from a repeater activity). Here's the interface: [ Extern ...Show All

SQL Server When To Use A Function And When To Use A Stored Procedure.
Hi, I thought that procedures do not return a value: well they only return a 1 or 0 depending on whether the procedure executed correctly. Functions are what you're supposed to use when you want to get a result set of some sort: ie a table or a scalar value. Apparently that is not the case becuase you can return values from procedures. I've attempted to find out what the differences are between the two and when it is appropriate to use a procedure and when it is appropriate to use a function but I'm still unsure. Can someone please tell me the difference. Thanks. Przemek So it sounds like to me that this is not a performance issue You use one or the other to make life easier for programming not ...Show All
