• Visual Studio Team System How to change process guidance template on existing project?

  Hi forum. We have an existing team foundation project. Is it possible to change the process template from Agile to the one for CMMI I'm guessing I could overwrite som HTML files somewhere to get the content updated. But we also need to be able to create the new work item types when right clicking on the work items folder in team explorer. It is possible How do I do it The short answer is no, there is no way to change the process template of an existing project. Think of it like this:  A process template in TFS is similar to a document template in Word.  In Word, all documents are based on a template.  The default template in Word 2007 is Normal.DOTX.  It contains ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem: The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document

  Hi, I've run into a problem that seems to defy a solution. Bottom line: When I'm attempting to debug with VS 2005, I cannot set an effective breakpoint in one of the source files. The breakpoint is the hollowed-out reddish/yellow circle, and VS says that the breakpoint won't work because the symbols are not loaded. I've found several discussions in this forum about this type of problem, but there's no concensus that I could find on how to solve the problem. Some background might be in order. I have been developing a "data binder" for use in a forms UI application that has multiple threads. There are three projects/classes in the solution, one for a test mainline, using forms, one for a general-purpose "dump" routi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System custom work item fields

  right now I have a field called "Approved By": < FIELD name = " Approved By " refname = " eDiets.ApprovedBy " type = " String " reportable = " dimension " > < VALIDUSER /> </ FIELD > It works fine, but I want to enforce a rule that only allows the current user to assign himself to this field. Right now they can select any valid user. Esentially the business owners do not want people to be able to approve tasks using someone elses user name. In addition to using just DEFAULT tag, I would also suggest you to make this field Readonly in the form layout so users can't edit this field. -Mohammad ...Show All

• Commerce Server Update Line Item Shipping Information

  Hello, I am working on updating the shipment status and shipment tracking number for orders that have been fulfilled. We receive a very simple document from our warehouse that only contains the Order Tracking number and the LineItem number that has been fulfilled; this is because at times LineItems are shipped through different methods to different addresses and must be updated individually. I have been searching in the DB and I am unable to find a key that will connect a LineItem record with a Shipment record. There is also no data on which order the LineItems are extracted by the Orders Adapter and cannot identify which LineItem would be considered first, second, etc. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Designer issues after CF2.0 SP1 installation

  I just installed the CF2.0 SP1 patch. Seeing other posts, I uninstalled the Beta 1 version I had used in developing some apps (because I needed more control over the datagrid), reinstalled the original CF2.0 from my DVD, and then loaded the SP1 patch. Initially, everything in my projects looked fine. However, after rebooting my machine later in the day, I now get designer errors on any form with a grid control. The main part of the message is: Could not load type 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid' from assembly 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969db8053d3322ac, Retargetable=Yes'.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Accessing HKLM from a vb6 exe that calls a .net dll

  Greetings! I have a vb6 exe that calls a .NET 2.0 dll. The dll needs to write to odbc settings.

• Community Chat Vista Viruses - The Next Generation

    Sometimes I just have to write because tonight I received a PHD in Vista Viruses. Yes, a new generation of viruses is  evolving and this was the meanest nastiest virus I’ve ever seen. Perhaps, not deliberately it crashes the system on boot. The virus is an emulated service with a driver attached to the file system as an alternate stream. If you can stay awake I learned an immense amount tonight and I think people will be interested in this one. I have a new Vista RTM Ultimate system with Avast Virus protect. I opened an “iffy” file from the net thinking that if it had a virus that virus detection would catch it. How wrong could I be My system instantly black screened and I saw system32:lzx32.sys wiz by which didn’t lo ...Show All
