• Visual Studio Team System No Work Item is created when a build fails

  For some reason the automatic creation of Work Items when a build fails has stopped working for one of our projects. It's been building just fine for some time now, so I haven't noticed before today. So I'm not 100% sure what we might have changed to cause this behaviour, but it could be one of the following actions; Renamed the build type Added iterations and areas Anybody have any ideas Need more info Hi Jarle, Is there anything in your build log for the failed build saying that a work item could not be created for build failure. Can you also please check the WorkItemFieldValues property from your TfsBuild.proj file for the build type and post it here thanks, Swaha ...Show All

• Visual C# Active Directory in C# .Net

  I have been given the task to figure out what I can do in c# respective to programing in Active Directory. I am wondering if there are any good examples out there if anybody knows about some.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Copy Protection/Demo Disk

  Good Day, as a beginner I learned from a lot of you in this forum and wish to thank all of you who have help. Because of your help I have completed by first program and learn how to deploy onto a CD using ClickOnce. Where I need help understanding next is how do I build a demo disk the will either limit the number of entries or a time expire method so that the client will need to purchase a upgrade and how do I copy protect the software so that it can’t be copied to other machine. I have read a lot of the forums commits but most of them seem to suggest using third party software. I would like to learn how to do write code for these things for myself. Any suggestion on which way or what reading material can lead me in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mining Drivers

  I would like to write a simple driver back up program similar to the DriverGuide Toolkit as a learning excersize, but I don't know where to get started. Where would I go to learn how to access the registry and get information about drivers, find the files, and then zip them up. I have already found a way to zip them up. But I don't know how to get in the registry I am guessing it is with a series of win32 calls, but not 100% sure about that. Could any one steer me in the right direction Thanks, Matt The win32 dev newsgroups at http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups is a more proper location for such questions.

• .NET Development RealProxy.Invoke, how to catch remoting exceptions.

  Hello, I would like some input on how to resolve a problem I have. We have a client-server application. The client gets references to services exposed by the server through a service manager. The service manager gets the requested service from the server and returns it to the client application. In order to centralize the error handling, we have decided that service manager would wrap the server's services using a RealProxy. This works fines except.... In my RealProxy.Invoke i cannot make the difference between an exception coming from the remote service and an exception coming from the remoting infrastructure, to detect that the server is no longer available. If you erfer to the code below,I was expecting that any exception c ...Show All

• .NET Development Bit manipulation

  Hi! We would like to see if C# (1.1) has any API to manipulate bit in that way: For example, send a variable to it, like a INT64 and ask that function is such bit is 1 or 0; like... Int64 test = 255; bool bit = CheckBit(test, 5); and that CheckBit would return if the 5th bit is 1 or 0... We know how to write that function, and it's simple, but we always prefer to use the standard API, and we don't know if C# 1.1 has that already. Thanks in advance Yep, it does. BitConverter can convert your Int64 to an array of bytes, System.Collections.BitArray is available to manipulate the bits. For example: Int64 v = 255; System.Collections.BitArray vec = new System.Collections.BitArray(BitConverter.GetBytes(v)) ...Show All
