• Visual Studio Updating file status in solution explorer through SCC APIs

  Hi All, We have implemented MS-SCC API 1.3 for our SCM tool. Our SCM tool also supports commands to perform check-in, checkout operations which also adds following scenario to be handled. 1. Open a project in VS05. Checkout a file and modify it. 2. Checkin that file by using command. 3. Status in VS05 won't get updated unless "Source Control->Refresh Status" is used. For this, we are executing a thread in background which checks latest status of files from SCM. But unable to send this updated information to back to IDE. When user selects "Source Control->Refresh Status" command, SccQueryInfo() function get called for selected files. I got the following link which says user has to manually refresh the status. htt ...Show All

• SQL Server Proc Results to Excel Workbook

  Hello, I have tried to use a DaraReader Source to execute a SQL Server 2000 proc, and send the results to an Excel Destination. The proc is named spv_CDGetFuelManDuplicates. Within the proc, temporary tables are created and dropped. When I attempt to set 'Exec dbo . spv_CDGetFuelManDuplicates' for the SqlCommand property of the DataReader, I get an error message indicating that my temporary tables are invalid objects. The DaraReader is using an ADO.NET Connection Manager. Should I be using an Execute SQL Task instead Thank you for your help, the proc code is below. cdun2 ******************************** alter PROCEDURE dbo . spv_CDGetFuelManDuplicates AS --Isolate Accounts and Contact Info per the View ...Show All

• Windows Forms Cancel form event

  Hi, Is there any way can cancel form leave event Thanks. Cathie Thanks for the input. Actually, what I really want to do is to put some logic in the tab control's tab page leave event to ask user if he/she wants to save the changes, or cancel the action (leaving the tab page). Initially, I wanted to put the logic in the tab page's validating event, but I run into a problem. My application is a MDI windows application. On one of the children form, I have a tab control. When user try to jump from one tab page to another tab page, if there is change on current page, I need to use a message box to ask user if he/she wants to save change, or cancel the action. But I found out that, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can only connect VS to Team Foundation Server from server machine

  Fresh install, 2 tier server config, one App and one Data. Service pack 1 beta. We have a strange problem regarding VS TFS: When we connect from the local machine using VS/Team Explorer everything works correctly. All functionality is functioning as expected. When we try to connect from another machine, in the same domain, from the same domain account (domain admin) we get the following error when we try to add the server to Visual Studio: TF31002: Unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server: ........ This is with the exact same installation media for the team explorer software, on the local network with the TFS server.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Adjustable tile layer opacity via DHTML?

  Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to adjust the opacity of a loaded tile layer via a dhtml control's event, say a slider. I've tried it but the tile layer seems unaffected by the slider setting a new opacity value even though I've made sure it's a float between 0 and 1. It doesn't even work when I hard code an appropriate value to be set on event. I went with the "delete/re-add the tile layer" solution, which works well enough except I'm getting "hour-glassed" repeatedly with the slide-bar. So, I opted for a series of 5 radio buttons with discrete incemental values between 0 an 1; works really well! :) Then I added a dropdown that loads a list of all my tile layers per map view on the fly; then my transpare ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error TF84037 with Excel Team Foundation AddIn

  I get the following error when I try to open Excel documents stored on the TFS. TF84037: There was a problem initializing the Microsoft Excel Team Foundation Addin. Re-installing the Team Foundation Client may be required. I've attempted a full uninstall and re-install but that have no effect. It looks like Office 2003 .Net programmability support is not installed. You need to modify your installed version of Office and install this option.

• Software Development for Windows Vista [BUG] Vista doesn't start application called "install" w/o being elevated.

  Hi, I just encountered this really strange behaviour, which is definitely a bug in Vista. Consider the following situation. You're logged in as an administrator account. Start a CLI shell of your choice, start it normally, so that it's running non-elevated. Now consider a console application called install.exe. It's neither a GUI application, nor is it an installer application in the Windows sense. It's just called install.exe. In my case it's part of GNU coreutils and it's called install because it's usual task is to install software on the system. However, it's perfectly valid to call install as normal user and use it to install stuff into a subdirectory on which you have permissions. This is what happens when running under Cygwin (proce ...Show All
