• Visual Studio Team System Label history

  How does one obtain history and properties of an existing label Especially from GUI. Thanks, Maggie Hello, label is a list of files and its versions (it does not need to be one point in time) so properties and history can be a little confusing. What information exactly do you need As somebody mentioned File->Source Control->Label->Find Label let you list content of the label. I believe History Sidekick ( http://www.attrice.info/cm/tfs/index.htm ) has some functionality that you are interested in. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Outlook 2007 Form Region Question

  i want to create a new form region. On MSDN it says "If you specify a value of ReplaceAll for the <formRegionType> tag, the form region will replace the entire form, resulting in a new form for a derived message class." this is what i want. I do not want to tamper with the actual Contacts form itself. Rather I want to create a new form which derives from the Contacts form. However I cannot find any more documentation on how to do this. Is it possible to get the code from the voice mail demo which is shown here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms788695.aspx . This demo seems to do what I want to achieve. Any pointers much appreciated. I got stuck on this too - the key on th ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Custom Windows CE 4.2 based SDK in VS2005

  Hi all, I am trying to use an application for Windows CE 4.2 platform, originally developed in eVBC4 using a custom SDK: %ProgramFiles%\Windows CE Tools\wce420\Topaz I have installed that custom SDK provided by the supplier of the device but my problem is that I can’t select this platform (Topaz), which is the proper target for my device , under a Visual C++ project in Visual Studio 2005. Please, any help with this issue or indications TIA! Visual Studio 2005 does not support Windows CE.NET 4.2 based platforms. It supports Windows CE 5.0 and better. You'll have to use eVC++ 4.0 SP4 instead. see: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1822&SiteID=1 Michael ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using transactions to access database within Worfklow

  Here is my scenario (in an abstract form): Say I want to get a value in a database table, and then based on that value perform some other action. I do not want that value within the database to be able to be changed until after I have performed the follow up action.  I have no problem implementing this process within a SqlTransaction in my data access layer, and getting the desired atomicity. However when putting this inside a workflow, I cannot get the atomicity.  Within a transaction scope activity I have a call to a web service, which in turn invokes a stored procedure to get the value in the database.  Once the web service returns the value and focus returns to the workflow, and before I check out th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SequentialWorkflowRootDesigner in inherited workflow

• Visual Studio Team System Re-assigning bugs and team projects

  We are currently using TFS for the first time, and considering using it for bug tracking. However, I have a question about the bugs. We are currently developing a new web site using a SOA architecture and have a Team Project for the services and a team project for the web site GUI projects. Our QA team isn’t currently set up to test just the services and as such they will be testing the deployments using the GUI, which will result in all the bugs being submitted under the GUI project and may in fact be a server issue. How can I move the entered bug from one team project to another so that when a build is done the bug is tracked appropriately Wayne In the second suggestion would that allo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA framework for non C#

  One of the great advantages of the .NET framework is that developers can work on the same project in different programming languages. As I'm reading about XNA, it seems that this will not be possible with the XNA framework. Will the only programming language that has access to the XNA framework be C# The performance hit is from C++ to C# or C++ to VB. VB runs CRL just like C# so the performance is the same. I have a hard time seeing VB as a good beginner language because it syntax is so different than other languages. To move from C# to Java or C++ or many other languages is much easier than moving from VB just my two cents ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problems with dataset designer

  Hi I am not really sure where to post this, so I will post here and see what happens - sorry if it's in the wrong forum! I am having real problems with the dataset designer in VS2005. I start a VB project, go to Add a Data Source, select a SQL Compact Edition database, and select some tables. I then go into the Designer, make a few simple changes (for example changing the field names in one of the tables, or changing the name of the table adapter) and the VB Compiler crashes - almost every time, certainly enough times to make this totally unuseable. I have VB2005 Prof installed with the SP1 Beta, with SQL Server 2005 SP1, and with the RC1 version of SQL Compact Edtion. I just cannot get ANYTHING done with this. I have reinstall ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem with Device Emulator

And when I debug an application, the Device Emulator could not be connected. But It works well days before. Very appreciate you to help me.
