• Visual Studio The current project path

  Heya all, How can I get the working directory of the current visual studio project It's probably easy, but I haven't figured it out yet. Thanks, Clemens Hi Herru, I'm not sure where you are getting this ServiceProvider object, but I'm pretty sure you cannot retrieve the EnvDTE.Project from a GetService call, as there can be multiple projects in a solution. The following macros illustrates one way to go about listing the path using the FullName property, which may give you some better ideas. Function GetMiscDumpPane() As OutputWindowPane Dim ow As OutputWindow = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindOutput).Object Dim pane As OutputWindowPane Try pane = ow.OutputWind ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Adding new event handler to custom control does not fire event.

  CustomControl cc = new CustomControl(); cc.MouseDoubleClick += new MouseButtonEventHandler(CustomControl_DoubleClick); private void CustomControl_DoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs args) { MessageBox.Show("Event Fired!"); } Can anyone tell me why this wouldn't work Is there something I have to do in my custom control to get this event to fire After digging further I found that the DragCanvas I was using was overriding the OnPreviewMouseLeftButtonDown event and had 'e.handled = true' so that no other mouse events would fire. Oh well, thanks anyways to those who responded. ...Show All

• Visual C++ syncronization?

  As i stated in my previous thread, I am new to VC++ and am creating one of my first applications. In this application i have a ListBox into which I allow the user to load a list of words from a file. I need to execute this on a separate thread in order to keep my Form as functional as possible incase a large list is loaded. However, when trying to access the ListBox from a separate thread, I get the following error: An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll Additional information: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'LoadList' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

• Visual Studio Team System Wacky behavior of VersionControlServer.QueryHistory(...)

  First, the server i code against is running with the RTM version of TFS and I use the client API to write a WinForms client app to display some files' change history and labels etc. This posting gave a simple example on how to use VersionControlServer.QueryHistory(): http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=435386&SiteID=1 However, i'm getting pretty wild results with the slotmode parameter. According to the MSDN documentation ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb138960(VS.80).aspx ): slotMode is A flag that specifies how history entries are searched. If true , the returned history entries may reflect multiple different items that have at one point occupied the requested path in the database. If ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) x:Static works as element but not as attribute with statics from project?!?

  I'm running Vista RC1 and playing with x:Static in elements and attributes and noticed a behavior that I'm not sure if it is by design or not. Here's the minimal repro: Start with a Window and let's use a static from the system as its title, using attribute syntax. (The static can come from any referenced assembly in this case, just not from the assembly being compiled): < Window x:Class = " XamlTests.Window1 " xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " xmlns:s = " clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib " Title = " {x:Static Member=s:Environment.CommandLine} " > </ Window > ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to test the GDI compatibility of an Application for Windows Vista

  Hi, It would be really helpful if some one can tell me what are the methods that can be used to test an application to ensure the Graphical compatibility of it in Windows Vista. Hello Techorn, What do you mean by methods for testing an apps graphical compatibility Are you looking for methods that tell if desktop composition is enabled on the system (Can the system run glass) If an installation has Aero Glass enabled it means that the hardware supports DirectX 9.0 (which is fairly high end equipment). Does your application has a specific directX requirement You will also want to be careful if your application is doing any custom drawing using GDI+, here are some of the changes made to the WM_PAINT ca ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unable to Add New Objects

  I'm having a problem adding new objects from Solution Explorer. When I right click on Tables and select Add New Item the Categories / Templates are blank. Therefore I can't add a table. I've tried re-installing CTP4 but to no avail. Not sure what's changed as I was able to do this before. How do I fix In CTP4 we do not allow you to add anything but a generic script type from Solution Explorer, you need to use Schema View if you want to add explicit types in CTP4. -GertD "DataDude" Development Manager ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 - View with Data Column Filter

  I am creating a view in SQL 2005 and am trying to filter out certain elements of a column that I do not want in my view. I have tried the following filters but they do not seem to work as the system kicks them back as erroneous syntax: IsNotOneOf (x, y,z) NotEqual (x, y, z) DoesNotContain (x, y, z) Any ideas of what syntax will work to properly filter out data in this view Sure :-) ...Where SomeColumn NOT IN (1,2,3) HTH, Jens Suessmeyer. --- http://www.sqlserver2005.de --- ...Show All

• Visual Basic FileSystemWatcher - Created events fires too early

  I have been playing with a FileSystemWatcher, to start processing files as soon as one arrives in a folder. Specifically, I'm looking for a zip file, then unzip it. However, when I try to unzip a file as soon as I get the Created event, the file has often not finished being written, and therefore I get an error when I try to unzip it. This time period is very short, a tight loop without pauses trying to open it for write will return OK in 3 loops. Question ======= How do I get FileSystemWatcher to raise an event when a file has FINISHED being written, instead of START being written Thanks for the tips Jim 1. Agreed 2. I like the incremental idea. There's a parameter called intTimeOut (s ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql 2005 Remote Connection

  I am having a problem connecting to a remote SQL server 2005 instance. The remote server is for a website hosting account of mine. I can connect to the server from computers other than the problem computer just fine. I cannot connect to the server using any software including SQL Server Management Studio Express, Visual Web Developer, or even when trying to use aspnet_regsql.exe on the problem computer.
