• Visual Studio Team System Include / Exclude target to drop

  Hello, We have loads of solutions being build as part of our TFS builds, and each solution contains the main project (class library) and one or more test projects, containing either unit tests or test harness controls. I obviously want all the projects in a solution to be build so the unit tests can run, but ALL the compiled projects are copied to the drop folder, rather than just the main class libraries. Is there a way to specify that you want to build all projects in a solution but only copy one of them to the drop location I don't think I need to go so far as to build a custom task to do something that the MSBuild copy task can already do for me ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3e54c37h.as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to get emailNotificationAddress and SMTP server name programatically

  Hi All, I need to get the emailNotificationAddress and SMTP server name which is configured in the web.config file[<Drive>:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services\web.config]...programatically... Please give me the code snippet for the same.....using the TFS API.. Thanks, Kathir The emailNotificationFromAddress and SMTP server name are not exposed through the TFS APIs.

• .NET Development Serializing a large data structure

  I want to serialize a class that contains a great deal of data (up to many tens of megabytes), nearly all of which is in unmanaged memory.  All the methods I can find for serializing a class end up with SerializationInfo.AddValue calls, which would be hugely wasteful and slow if performed pixel-by-pixel. (The class is a .Net wrapper for an unmanaged image object.  I want to implement ISerialize so that I can provide a VStudio debugger Visualizer). So far I have achieved my objective by transferring each row of the image into a managed array, then serializing the array.  The disadvantages are (a) I need to keep 'inventing' a new name for each row, (b) I can't re-use the managed array (or the serializer conclud ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Projecting 2D Coordinates Into 3D Coordinates

  I just got started with XNA (and C# for the most part, though my experience with Java seems to help) and ran into a snag. I did the tutorial about display points using the VertexBuffer object and wanted to take it to another level. I wanted to get the mouse coordinates when the mouse is clicked and put a new point on there. I got the input and figured out how to add points to my array, but unfortunately I can't figure out how to take my 2D screen coordinates from the mouse and put it into 3D coordinates. Does anyone know how I can do this If it matters, here's the code I used to create my projection and view matrices: viewMatrix = Matrix.CreateLookAt( new Vector3(0, 0, 5), Vector3.Zero, Vector3.Up ); ...Show All

  I'm just having issues because I'm trying to create a render target with a surface format of RGBA5551 is it unsupported With SurfaceFormat.Color it doesn't raise an exception, so I'm guessing it has to do with that.

• SQL Server Help - How do I create a new instance

  Hi Guys Im new to SQL and I need to create a new instance Help hi, you need to install (and not create) a new instance if no other instance has been already installed.. If you install a SQLExpress instance, by default a named instance named SQLExpress will be installed... it's actual full name will be <ComputerName>\SQLExpress to do that, just run the SQLExpress installer.. if you like to "play" with the advanced options, you can modify the instance name (or install a default instance as well, if not already installed), if remote connections will be enabled (network protocols are disabled by default), modify (if required) the collation settings for sort order and comparations, allow standard S ...Show All
