• Visual Studio VSSConverter - how to exclude a subproject from migration?

  Hi, I'll migrate a project from VSS to TFS, but I need to exclude one subproject from the migration. I can probably delete it temporary in the VSS and then restore after migration. Is there a way to exclude a project from migration through the settings file Thanks, Leonid. The mappings you setup in your settings file determine the projects that you migrate. If you migrate the root ($/) then all the projects will migrate. If you specifiy your mappings like this <Project Source="$/Project1" Destination="$/TeamProject/Project1"></Project> <Project Source="$/Project3" Destination="$/TeamProject/Project3"></Project&g ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do you manage unlockable Demo versions?

  Hi, I am a software developer. I tested my application under Windows Vista and it resulted in an error message during the launch process. The error message is displayed by a component that I have included in my application, which component is managing everything about the unlockable demo version of my application (it determines how many days remaining to the trial period, and if the unlock code or activation code is valid). I know the error message is probably due to the UAC denying access to registry or files, because if I "Run the program as an administrator", I don't have any errors. My question is, am I supposed to force the elevation to the admin token for each and every single launch of my application Should I design a new ...Show All

• Visual C++ Capture virtural keys in textboxes

  Question: How to capture virtural keys like VK_F1 or VK_F3 in a textbox that has keyboard input focus. Thanks...     Add a WM_KEYDOWN or WM_KEYUP message handler to the window, view, or dialog class that owns (parent of) the text box. In that handler, get the window that currently has the focus and check to see if it is the text box control you are interested in. If so, you have your key. void OnKeyUp( UINT nChar, UINT nRepCnt, UINT nFlags) { if( GetFocus() == GetDlgItem( IDC_TEXT_BOX))   { // Right here you now know your text box had the focus when the key was released     switch( nChar)     { case VK_F1: // F1 key released.         // ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What program would be good to start making games using direct X?

  What program would be good to start making games using direct X Ive looked but not sure what to use. Do you have any programming experience If not -- and I'm sure folks will have other opinions -- I think you'll find VB.NET to be the easiest place to start. There's really no "right" answer to a question like this; the best language for you is whichever one you can use comfortably and efficiently to do what you need to do. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Rescale Form

  Hello, How I can rescale one form (change the size of the form and magnify/shrink the content inside). Especially if on the form are multiple PictureBox. Thank you Best regards Hello, I guess you set the fonts to TTF types - even in Delphi where I used this approach you had to use TTF, otherwise you can not see any scalling of the fonts withg the system ones. Worst case scenario is - on start up you pass trough all components and record their font size into some table. When you rescale you go manually and change the font size by the scale factor, keeping in mind their initial size. .. But I still hope that the fonts will be scalled 'for free" and I have to pay attention only for the graphical objects. Be ...Show All

• SQL Server Global variable value lost during insertion in a table

  Hi, This problem is connected with the query i posted yesterday regarding insertion of global variables. I was able to insert the variable in a table to check its value. This value is mapped to the global variable in a previous Execute SQL Task. But when I use the same global variable to insert in a table, default value 0 is inserted. My query is does the global variable declared at the package level does not store the value mapped across multiple tasks in control flow How can i insert the value stored in a variable in a table from previous SQL Task. Can anyone suggest some solution,links to try a workaround Thanks in advance. Regards, Aman Hello Aman, I assume that you still have the problem altough you ma ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Schema aware XLinq

  I managed to get some time to read the Linq project overview and play around a bit more. I had some thoughts on how Xml Schema and Xlinq could work well together based on one or two examples i found in the document. I've no idea whether this could happen, but in the word of deferred query evaluation anything is possible :) Consider this example within the document : IEnumerable<Person> persons = from e in x.Descendants("Person") select new Person { Name = e.Value, Age = (int )e.Attribute("Age") 21 }; It would be nicer for me to have previously done this: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <xs:schema id="XMLSchema1" elementFormDefault="qua ...Show All

I have no idea what change I made that has caused the eror to appear There is nothing in the MSDN list remotely halpful. regard Colin Reid The error occurs when the line textbox1.databindings.add("text", dataset, "addresses.address" This is inside a Try/Catch routine and a select case statement that accesses two other tables in the same dataset and I have no idea why it turns its nose at the first table but happily binds the other two.

• Windows Forms Dynamic Property Grid Enum

  Hi everybody, I’m having trouble solving an issue that I’m not even sure is feasible. I have the following scenario: A class library (LIB1) with a class called BaseItem{ int Id; } Another class library that references LIB1 with a class called: DerivedItem : BaseItem{ string Description; } And a Console App that references both. What I need to be able to do is in the console application type: DerivedItem d = new DerivedItem(); Console.WriteLine(Properties.Description); And the output be "Description". What I’m trying to do here is create a dynamic enumeration ("Properties") with all the properties in the class. So in the case of DerivedItem, this enumeration would look like the following: ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is it possible to make batch changes to a layout?

  I want to move a whole lot of elements (up to thousands) on a canvas, and I would like them all to move simultaneously. Is there a way I can batch up changes to the Cavas.SetTop and Canvas.SetLeft calls so that they all take effect at once I thought BeginInit and EndInit would do the job, but it appeared to have no effect. I've tried adding all the changes I want to an animation storyboard, then running that, which initially appears to do the job, but I can't find a way of making the final values actually be set. The only choices I can find with animation are to revert to the initial value, or to maintain an overriding value over the set value, which remains at its initial value. That is not much use, as if I then change the canvas positi ...Show All
