• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Rubber Banding

  Howdy, Ian G did a blog article back in 2004 on rubber band selection in WPF http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2004/02/06/rubberband that showed how to do this by placing a rectangle in the visual tree at an appropriate level. Is this still the way to go Or is there a different preferred method Thanks Paul The basic technique of using a rectangle to show selection and managing it using mouse down and up is clearly still applicable. If you want to do selection of all shapes in an area you are going to need to overlay the entire area wth a canvas so you can position teh rectangle appropriately. ...Show All

• Visual C++ _CRT_SECURE_CPP_OVERLOAD_STANDARD_NAMES couldn't work

  I used /D "_CRT_SECURE_CPP_OVERLOAD_STANDARD_NAMES" in the configuration of the project property. It solved secure problem for functions like sprintf. However, fopen, fscanf, sscanf still report something like: c:\mvs2005\bs_module\source\utility.cpp(1639) : warning C4996: 'fscanf' was declared deprecated c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\stdio.h(249) : see declaration of 'fscanf' Message: 'This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider using fscanf_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE. See online help for details.' I don't want to use _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE, because I want the warning pops up whenever there is a secure problem. I believe the three functions listed ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare Problem #3

  I am doing a schema compare where the source is a database and the target is a project. There is only a single difference between the two. A stored proc exists in the target that does not exist in the database. The schema compare correctly detects this but sets the Update Action to 'Skip', and I cannot change it. If I click the dropdown button in the 'Update Action' column, all I see is 'Skip'; no other options. Can anyone tell me why I'm not able to set this to 'Delete' so I can remote it from my project Thanks - Amos. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Create a Test List in VSTE For Dev

  I am trying to set up a build type in Team Foundation Server that runs a set of unit tests as part of the build process. However all the docs I see reference features I can't find. I suspect they are part of TE for Testers, which I don't have. How can someone who does not have Team Suite, or Team Edition for Testers create a build type that can run unit tests I'm not impressed. As a dev using unit tests, I'm naturally interested in setting up a Testing Policy which runs our unit tests before check in. This entire split between the different types of VSTS is a horrible example of a product manager losing his marbles. As a former MSFT (SDET) I'm embarassed to see the "evil empire" strike back.. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Connection timed out - socket error crashes my program

  Hello forum, I'm desperate. I made a class in a client application, which has a function that loops through a series of hosts. However, when it finds a "connection timed out" error, it simply crashes with "std::out_of_range memory location" - when I just want it to go on without connecting to that server. It only breaks after the 2nd iteration - the first goes by smoothly, the 2nd crashes. What can I do [code] void Escalonador::Conecta(char* endereco){ MAQUINA temp; // variaveis de socket.

• SQL Server SSIS package

  Guys I've migrated a SQL Server 2000 DTS package over to SSIS (which seems to have worked), its a really simple package with just one item, it first checks for a tables existance and deletes if necessary, then recreates the table and then inserts data from a selection of other tables, except its only creating the table no data is being inserted, yet the script to insert data works as I've tried it in a query. Any ideas Thanks inadvance Duncan-Countrywide wrote: Hi Thanks for the swift reply, I'm using the control flows and an execute sql task, as is it was imported, the only change I've made is the server names, as I said it does work no errors are generated, just when I check the tabl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System link requirements and tasks

  hi, i created a "MSF for CMMI Process Improvement" project. in this project i created a requirement to manage the requirements for the project. but i do not find anything, to link the requirement with a task. is this possible in tfs it would really hurt if it is not possible. edit: i found the possibility to add a work item to a task. "add related work item" . there i can choose "requirement". but if i choose "requirement" i can just add a new requirement and not an existing one. in our project development we have requirements (mostly defined by the customer) and then we have a number of tasks which are allocated to a requirement. we use an access database to manage these requirements. and now we want to use tfs to do this. but how edit2: ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Schema Compare issue

  Have an issue with schema compare. When I do a compare I have objects the tool is saying does not exits in the target but it is exactly that same based on Ultra Edit compare.
