• Visual Studio Team System A contributor cannot access work items??

  Hi, I am the project admin in team system and i recently added a user as a contributor in the project but for some reason he cannot access the work item folder (Red x) and even worse, he cannot do any check in because we have the work item policy activated and he cannot select a work item from the list.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotating points in 3D

  I am working with some vector graphics that consists only of an ordered set of 2D points in XY space. The order of points determines the path that a line is drawn through them. I would like to be able to rotate the points in 3D so that I can flip and rotate the vector picture. After performing a rotate of some degree I want to be able to write the new set of points to an array or file or whatever. I also want to be able to display my vector image in a Window. So I have two questions: 1) Is there anything in DirectX that will help me rotate some XY points in a 3D space and then give me the resulting XY coordinates 2) What do I use to draw these points to the Window using DirectX In the past I have used normal Windows drawing me ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot shut down VS after using report designer

  Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS. Only SSRS. Any Ideas Thanks! BobP FYI... I encountered this problem today for the first time. I was creating a new report in a project by selecting an existing report, right-clicking on it and selected COPY. I then did a CTRL-V to paste it into my project. The new report name was "Copy of...". I renamed the report and then ...Show All

• .NET Development Something like the MFC CWinThread class in .NET 2.0

  Hi reading the documentation of .NET 2.0 about threading programming I understant that it's possibile to create and run threads which execute a particular function. But I cannot find something like the MFC CWinThread class which is a persistent process waiting for incoming messages: it has its own message map and is events callbacks. Is there a class in .NET making the same job as CWinThread Marco The .NET equivalent is to start a new message loop in your second thread: Application.Run(new Form2()); Calling Form.ShowDialog() works too, as does MessageBox.Show(). Be careful and follow the .NET rules about accessing controls from other threads (Control.Invoke() et al). ...Show All

• .NET Development Cannot establish Remoting Connection to Service on Domain Controller.

  I have built a Service and have been running it on an XP computer for over a year. The service works great and I can establish a connection to it using remoting no problem. I have recently moved the service to a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. The service executes fine, but I can no longer establish a remoting connection over the TCP port. Is this due to a security policy on the DC What policy or permission do I need to modify to allow the remoting to work any thoughts Thanks I think that is the issue, the server is not allowing the connection to the port. Is there a policy which controls this ...Show All
