• Visual Studio Team System 64 bit support?

  Can i install Team Foundation Server on Windows 2003 Enterprise x64 Edition I havent seen it listed as a supported OS. If not will 64bit be supported any time soon Hi, At the moment you can only install the TFS data tier on a 64bit OS when using a dual-server configuration. Check the section on "64-Bit Operating System Support" in the TFS installation guide for more information. I don't expect to see 64-bit support until the next release of TFS.

• Visual C# Passing properties as delegates

  Let's say I have the following: class Foo { private int myInt; public void SetInt(int i){myInt = i;} } And then somewhere else, I have this: delegate void MyDelegate(int); // Define a delegate that matches the signature of the Foo.SetInt function class Bar{ void DoStuff(MyDelegate someDelegate){ .... } // A function taking the delegate as an argument } Now I can easily pass SetInt as a delegate to the DoStuff function, no problem there. But what if I'd used a set property instead of the SetInt function, like so class Foo { private int myInt; public int MyInt{ set {myInt = value;} } } Is there any way I can then pass the MyInt property as a delegate to another function I suppose I could do it by wrapping it in an ...Show All

• Windows Forms Getting error "You do not have privileges to run this application"

  I have a Windows Forms application I wrote last year in VS .NET 2003, which I've upgraded to VS .NET 2005 today. It includes Crystal Reports 11 Release 2, and I've made a setup for it. I've just tested it by installing it on a new PC, and I'm getting an error that says simply, "You do not have privileges to run this application". I've searched for this error using both Live.com and Google, and really haven't found anything useful (both search engines yield just one website that lists this error message - interestingly enough it is not the same website). I am hard pressed to figure out why the network administrator account, which is what I used to install the app and test running it with, does not have privileges in order to run i ...Show All

• Visual C++ Getting an error RC2188 (Visual Studio 2005, C++)

  Hi, For some reason I'm getting an RC2188 error from the Resource Compiler when accessing the Resource View. There is no documentation for this error. Situation is, I have an RC2 file with my version info in, which is not to be edited by Visual Studio. When the message comes up, it has the path to the RC2 file with a (6) after it. Presumably this is the line number which is #error this file is not editable by Microsoft Visual C++ Anyone have any idea why this is now causing an error (has been working fine in this configuration for months) Thanks in advance Ian.

• Visual Studio Team System Change location of a build type

  I did a "Get Latest Version" on a Build Type and now I need to change the local path. How do I do this Also, why didn't Team Explorer update the new local path Instead I got this error the next time I tried to Open the Build Type: TF42012: The build type <name> is either not valid or was not found. Please verify that all required files are checked in and up to date. I made sure everything is there. If I click "Build" at the top, it doesn't even list the type any longer.

• Visual Studio Express Editions TabControls

  Simple question. How do I change the name of the tab So that I can name the tab instead of seeing Tab1. Thanks. If you are setting the tab text as a constant string through out the life of your program then you could just set it in the designer.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XInput wrapper

  How are people wrapping up XInput Many games only care when the player starts or stops pressing a button. State changes. Edges. XInput lets you check if the button is currently down or not, but leaves the rest to be handled at a higher level. Is XNA Framework planning to handle any of this I wrote a quick wrapper that just checks for state changes and fires off events using delegates. This is a good start, but requires an update from the game loop to check for those changes. Even at 60Hz, I imagine it's easy to drop edges, and god forbid the game hitches due to some nifty effect. Losing an input would be pretty annoying for a fighting game. Lacking interrupts, it seems the best solution might be to dedicate a thread to monitoring control ...Show All

• Windows Forms C# How to make a form click-thru-able (hard to explain in one line!)

  Hi, I was considering making a cursor replacement application in C#. To do this i made a form with a PictureBox and a Timer. The Timer would synchronize the form's position to the cursor coordinates. The form was using a TransparencyKey and was TopMost. However, when I click anywhere, the form handles the mouse event, meaning that I can't do anything with the computer other than click on the cursor (not really that useful!!).... how can I make it so that clicks "go through" the form OR! Is there some way in C# of drawing images, etc. beyond the form's surface Thanks in advance! - Javawag Sorry, I think you've misunderstood my question... As the application I am making is just a cursor replacem ...Show All

• Visual C# help me to convert vb.net property to c# syntax

You'll be stuck if you have more than one property in your VB.NET class. If not, you can use an indexer.

• Windows Forms Problems with .SWF files in WebBrowser =(

  The problem is quite strange ... I .Navigate() my WebBrowser to any .swf file, and it appears normally .... imagine it is a flash-game ... I press any button on the flash "scene" and thats OK, but after the first CLICK others don't work o_O ... But they : "don't work" VERY strange: if I click on any button, the button changes its appearence as I would really click on it, BUT - the scene doesn't change - as if I didn't click on it :/ I tested it on MANY .swf's - all the same. And at the same time - if I open the .SWF files in IE - everything is OK. Also I noticed, that clicks begin to work in WebBrowser after alt-tab ...
