Windows Forms GetWindowThreadProcessId changes the Visible property of the control
I have a MDI application which displays 3 child Forms. I have menu options to change the visible property of the Child Forms and I have some test scenarios which validate the properties of the child forms. In my app flow I uses the GetWindowThreadProcessId Function to get the identifier of the thread that created the child form. Problem is when this method is called for a hidden child form, it changes the visible property of the hidden form to visible and thus that form suddenly appears on the screen. I just need the threadId of the form and doesnot want to change any of the property of the control.Does anyone know the solution for my problem Like Alex wrote it's probably the fact that you use the Handle property that causes t ...Show All
Visual Studio How to get list of files in a solution?
How can I get a list of all files on which a solution depends By this, I mean all the files which would be required to build the solution on another, new, machine. I'd prefer a method that can create a file containing the list of files. Perhaps a makefile would have this information. Hi, This is an article I wrote that uses a method GetCurrentIDE which returns a reference to the IDE object. From here you can go to the projects and there files. http://geertverhoeven.blogspot.com/2006/12/reference-to-calling-visual-studio-2005.html Greetz, Geert Geert Verhoeven Consultant @ Ausy Belgium My Personal Blog ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Get Latest Version extremely slow
Hello, When we do a "Get Latest Version" for a project containing about 450 subfolders this operation shows the "Contacting server to get list of items to update..." for a very long time. Eventually it will come up with an error "HTTP code 500: Internal Server Error". The event log indicates a time out. I have already increased the executionTimeout values for the various .config files used by the Web Services. This increases the time it takes for this error to appear (this can take up to 2 hours) but the error still appears. These subfolders each contain about 20 files with a total size in each folder of 180KB. While the "Get Latest Version" is active the server CPU is not busy at all, it stays ...Show All

Visual C++ Help With Multiple Forms

Visual C# Problem with dataset designer
Hi. Our team have been having a few problems with the designers in VS2005 Team Edition for Developers. Most recently, the new dataset designer disappears. The IDE appears to use the XML schema editor instead. The dataset editor is no longer listed in the "open with" dialog. Table adapters are no longer available, and it is not possible to add the partial class for custom code. This problem has spread from machine to machine over the last month, but we have not been able to identify a pattern. Our best fix so far is to uninstall and reinstall VS. Also, many designers seem to leak, and when we do designer intensive work, the IDE degrades to such an extent that restarting it every hour provides significant benefits. I could ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista (SequentialWorkflowActivity)OnEvent -> context.CloseActivity()
Hellow, everybody. I have the follow activity: public partial class WorkflowActivity : SequentialWorkflowActivity , IActivityEventListener < ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs > {..} I've Registered For Status Change of some child-activities, but when the last activity had been closed, i've got the event (even if i haven't registered for it's status change). How can i recognize, that it is the last activity (haven't active childs) and i should call context.CloseActivity(); TIA, Nikolay One easy way is to iterate through the EnabledActivities collection and test the status of each activity. You'll want all of them to be closed in order to close your own activity. ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Dependency b/w source control and team explorer project
Q1: Is there an inherent dependency between source control repository nodes and TFS team projects In other words, must a source control branch must have a corresponding TFS team project or are these two entities independent...at least until the Source Control node in the Team Explorer project is defined. Q2: When a source control branch is associated with a Team Explorer project, what is the nature of this association Is it simply a default location in the source control repository Suppose I have a Team Explorer project that must modify three different services in our architecture and each is maintained in difference codelines in the source control repository. This project should be associated with three independent branches (one p ...Show All

Visual Studio Custom Guidance Package Deployment
Hi, We have received a Custom Guidance Package developed by one of our clients and want to enable it for Visual Studio 2005 at our development center. After installing the Custom Guidance Package (SmartClientDevelopment.msi) along with the pre-requisites like GAT / GAX / CAB, we are unable to see the package inside visual studio 2005 (Tools > Guidance Package Manager > Enable / Disable Packages...). When we create our own Custom Guidance Package and install it using the setup.msi it shows up without any issues. This issue is bugging us for the last couple of days now and we have tried our best to get rid off the same, but, without any success.
