• Visual Studio Team System Sharing project code

  Hi We have an issue where we have a couple of projects which are part of a single solution. The projects, which are part of a web services infrastructure, are then used by a number of other solutions. The code has been written in such a manner that the source for each of the projects is included in each if the other solutions. What is the best way for handling this from a source control point of view I know sharing has been removed from foundation server, but in effect this is what we want to do. I suspect when I try to add the other solutions to source control I will have problems with the project being under source control of more than one solution. Cheers Brett Wow. No support for shared files at all Ouch. I can see ...Show All

• Visual Studio Register Guidance Package fails

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) The ObjectShreder does not support DataView (DataRowView)

  Hello, I have looked at the code of the ObjectShareder class in Linq assemblies and I notice that it only has spacial case for DataRow objects but not for DataRowView. I think it meaning is that I cannot do a Linq query over a DataView. Is that right Thank you, Ido. no. Linq is supported over any source that is IEnumerable or IEnumerable<T>, and since DataView is IEnumerable - that means Linq is supported. The object shredding happens when one calls ToDataTable() or DataTable.LoadSequence(). In the case of the latter, then currently no special case code for supported DataRowViews like there is for DataRows. You can manually project the desired column values into an anonymous ty ...Show All

• SQL Server Using AMO/ADOMD vs XMLA

  You may have seen my recent posts regarding the fact that I am building an assembly for managing the creation, merging and processing of partitions within a cube. I had originally toyed with using SSIS and the SSAS Execute DDL tasks but I found that getting the XMLA right was impossible... the documentation is so dry and unhelpful, I gave up. There is a lot more power and flexibility using code anyway. ...Show All

• .NET Development What type of collection to use

  I am going to be doing 2 for loops.  One cycles through one set of ProductIDs and another cycles through a different set of ProductIDs. I want to add Each Product ID, ProductID to a collection.  I'm not sure what I should use, a hashtable example: foreach(Product p in myvariable1) {     add p.ProductID to collection and call it ParentProductID } foreach(Product p in myvariable2) {     add p.ProductID to collection and call it RelatedProductID } I will retrieve the hash table later and use it in a call to my method which insert each Pair into a Relationship table and so I'm gonna want to cycle through that collection and do something like this: foreach (value pair in my collection of ProductIDs) {     ...Show All

• Visual Basic Exceptioon error when trying to set ComboBox.SelectedIndex

  Hello All, First, just so you know, I am not a real programmer and have never programmed in visual anything before and am playing with VB 2005 Express Edition. In the Sub below I am simply trying to change PtComboBox.SelectedIndex when the RunComboBox selection is changed, but am getting the exception error shown in the comments in the sub. In the Form1_Load event handler I have this line. PtComboBox.SelectedIndex = My .Settings.PreTrig and it seems to work fine. I can change the value of My.settings.PreTrig and the box is set properly. There are 4 items in PtComboBox and there are only 2 items in RunComboBox. I sure hope someone can show me what I'm missing here because this makes no sense. Private Sub RunC ...Show All

• .NET Development Using single instance of custom CacheDependency class for multiple cached items

  I've written a DBCacheDependency class that inherits from CacheDependency to address specific business needs not covered by SqlCacheDependency. I'm have a shared collection of DBCacheDependency objects (in a custom BasePage class that inherits from System.Web.UI.Page). When an item is being inserted into the data cache, an instance of DBCacheDependency is required. I first search the shared collection to see if an existing DBCacheDependency instance exists, otherwise I create an instance and insert it into the collection. When the resource monitored by one of these DBCacheDependency objects changes, NotifyDependencyChanged is called, which sets the HasChanged property to True and expires items in the cache that were dependant on it.

• Visual Studio Team System How does TFS exactly start MSBuild

  hello i'm doing some tests with remote build of TFS. as i have some problems with the script I run, I want to start the msbuild serverside, exactly the same way TFS does. because when I run msbuild on the server, it works, so I assume, MSBuild is started from some other directory or so, as I have all dirs wrong on the final build can someone help me .. because it's a real pain to edit tfsbuild, check in, start build, checkout, edit, checkin, deploy etc.. thanks Team Build copies the source files to the build directory and kicks off MSBuild with the TfsBuild.proj file as arg; additional MSBuild args can be specified through the TfsBuild.rsp file. You can, of course, kick-off MSBuild directly from the comm ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Transparent-Click ... user's choice of image

  nobugz posted code for me which would allow the user to click on a bitmap image in order to make certain colors in that image transparent, and the code works great. However, when this code is run, a specific bitmap loads into Panel1, and that is the only bitmap that the user can do the transparent click thing on. My goal is to begin with an empty panel, then allow the user to click a button named fileButton, then select a bitmap of his choice from his hard disk that will load into Panel1, then he will be able to "transparent click" that image. I have probably been going about it the wrong way, but have been trying to revise nobugz's code and incorporate a fileButton_Click event. Both Mobugz's code and the code I have been tryi ...Show All

• .NET Development How to retrieve an unhandled exception while building a custom "fault" SoapHeader

  Hi, I am implementing methods to process the Soap Headers of our webservices. In the method processing the Fault Soap Header on the server side, I do not know how to retrieve the unhandled exception that I have to serialized... Here is my Stub (to illustrate my problem). It inherits from a base class (MyBaseWebServiceStub) that implements the methods processing the Soap Headers. A method "RequestValue" reads the Soap Header received from the client A method "ResponseValue" writes the Soap Header sent back to the client In the method "FaultValue", I intend to customize the serialization of any unhandled exception.

• Windows Forms how can i make ProgressBar synchronous with process of my app???

  Hi all i have an app and i want to display a progress bar which synchronous with process of my app when my app are retrieving data from database. How can i do that Please help, thanks The progress bar has to have something to measure itself by. It starts a number and the code can step it intermittently as the processing is occurring until completed. Since you don't control data access; measuring that progress doesn't fare well with what the user will experience....I recommend that you set the bar to Marquee mode and stop it once done. ...Show All
