• Visual Studio Team System Error when viewing workitem details over web

  I have my build server runingnicely, but when an exception occurs, it creates an email to me with a link similar to the following: http://<tfsserver>:8080/WorkItemTracking/WorkItem.aspx artifactMoniker=283 However, clicking the link displays the message: "The given key was not present in the dictionary." I understand that this is probably a mis-configuration of the data warehouse data, but I'm unsure where to look. Can anyone offer suggestions as to where to look first I tried the trace also (on WorkItemTracking, not WareHouse), and got a similar result: # Team Foundation Trace for component WI started at 10/18/2006 13:34:10 [note all date/time values are in GMT]. # Trace listener: Microsoft. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Call Windows API to store hyperlink path to external documents

  Hi there, this is a toughie! I am in the process of building a new system using access and VBA. One of the major requests from users in terms of functionality for the new database is they would like the ability to store word documents, excel documents, PDF documents, scanned documents e.g. gif, tif, bmp etc against either a company or a contact within the database. I do not want to bloat the size of the database because initially it will be an Access back end.

On that form i would then like to be able to press a command button that will call the w ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GraphicsDevice component not found.

  Hello, XNA is great, but with the Beta 2 release, I have been forced to change my code in many cases. One such case has not yet been resolved and I could use a little help with it. When I run this line: Sprites[x, y] = content.Load< Texture2D >(@ "Images\Block" + LevelCollision[x, y]); I get a ContentLoadException and am given the text "Error loading "Images\Block1". GraphicsDevice component not found." The file does exist in the right location and I do have its properties set to be built by the Content Pipeline and to "copy if newer". Thanks in advance.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Moving images but no redraw

  I have 5 images (image controls) on a canvas and I want to move them from one side of the screen to the other. As if they were sliding in. This is done by changing the Margin in a For..Next loop x times. The problem I have is that they are not drawn as they move across the screen. In old VB a Doevents would solve this problem but I can see from other posts that that is no longer an option. Some have suggested using the Dispatcher but I can’t quite figure out if Microsoft thinks this is a good idea or not. What else is there. Maybe moving the For...Next loop into a new Thread. Surely not... Any ideas All code bits in VB please. rune you can do something like this <Canvas&g ...Show All

• Visual C# How parallel programming is achieved in C#

• Visual Studio Team System Upgrade from Workgroup Edition to Standard

  We just upgraded from workgroup edition to standard edition. My understanding is that the "Licensed Users" group would be gone and the 5 user limit would be lifted.

  Well, I searched & searched and couldn't find an answer to : "How do I change the colors for the Error List & Resource viewer (strings).
