• Visual Studio Team System Custom "Project Lead" group can not add users

  I've created a custom Project group called 'Project Leads'. It has every right at the project level except "Delete this project". I've added the Project Lead to this TFS Security group and he is not able to add users to the other Project security groups What other rights does this custom group need in order to add users to this projects security groups Thanks, John In version 1.0 you must be a member of the Project Administrators group or the global Administrators group in order to modify group membership.

Then you can use normal AD permissions to delegate administration of the AD group ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Safe to inert HTML into page with IFrames after refresh

  I know similar questions have been asked in the past, but none of the responses really answered my question: On a page with IFrames, after the user refreshes, is there a way to tell when the main page has loaded enough that I can insert HTML If I insert early, I get an "operation aborted" pop-up from IE and then the page does not load. Thanks, Alex I am using the BHO to insert the code into some given webpage. Nothing is known about the page beforehand. Two techniques that I have tries include: myDiv= doc.createElement("div"); ((IHTMLElement2)doc.body).insertAdjacentElement("beforeEnd", myDiv); doc.body.insertAdjacentHTML("beforeEnd", InsertVariables(someHTML)); ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I can't find what I'm doing wrong!

  [EDIT]Well, I finally got it to work. What was wrong I don't know. I did get it to work simply by adding a weight variable into the vertex definition, but am not sure why, simply becuase that had not worked before (yes, I had defined them as 1 before). So, no more help needed, I guess... The best way would be to comment out most of the initialisation code using /* */ so you get something working then bit by bit start uncommenting sections until you get to the bit that’s giving the error. ...Show All
