• Visual Studio Team System Error: No Pending Changes - But there are changes!

  Hello, Sometimes we're experiencing the following annoying behaviour with our TeamFoundation Server (RTM) and the TeamExplorer: A file was checked out and changed, and if I try to check in the changes ("Check in pending changes..."), TeamExplorer says "Error: No Pending Changes" and does nothing. This is not safely reproducible though. But it still gives our team a really bad feeling about migrating to TeamSystem (we're at it right now, and we're running into several small glitches). Whatever, right-clicking the directory and selecting "Refresh" solves the problem. Has anybody else experienced this problem and knows why or when it appears Best regards, Martin Adam, I don't ex ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How can I make VS understand that a project is a test project?

  I have a project that was not created as a test project. But it was running tests in a very unit test like way, so I added using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting; to each source file along with the apropos [Test*] attributes so that I could run the unit tests from VS. However, VS doesn't recognize the tests. If I choose Test.Windows.TestView, my tests are not showing up there. Is there a way to get VS to recognize these tests Thanks...Rick Hi Rick, There are two ways to solve the problem. 1. Locate your project file (e.g. .csproj or .vbproj) on the file system, open it using a text editor. You will notice it is in XML format. Insert the following line (child node) into the exis ...Show All

• Visual Basic Bookmarks Menu and Organize Bookmarks Menu

  Background: Im making my application. It is a sort of a browser which displays HTML pages save in the local hard disk of the user's computer when he installs this application. In the main form is the WebBrowser control which does this function. First, let: FolderX = a folder (intended for saving the links to the user's favorite pages) in the program directory of my application when installed. This means that this folder is not the same with MS IE's Favorites folder. PageX = the page currently displayed by the WebBrowser control in the main form. Here is the problem: I've included a MenuToolStrip in my main form. In this, there is a menu called Bookmarks . I want that when the user clicks on Bookmarks the menu will expand to: a.) ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What is the lastest drop and when is the next one scheduled?

  Takes me half a day to upgrade to latest CTP/RC. Need to schedule the time. Please advise. Thanks (half-day) although I'm not blaming it on the Orcas stuff. The general process for me is:   Read release notes to see what works with what (there were some mismatches in June/July I believe)   Locate and uninstall everything.   Locate (always some confusion here) and download latest, SDK, Runtime Components, etc.   Determine proper install sequence.   Install SDK, Runtime Components, etc.   Rebuild applications. We don't have a terribly fast internet connection, so the download process is my biggest time consumer. Thanks for the info.   ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 install keeps failing to install SQL Services (i.e. the main engine!).

  I am currently running Windows XP Professional Service Pack2. It already has MSDE & SQL Server 2000 installed (although I just uninstalled MSDE in the vain hope that it might present the installer with a more straightforward upgrade).

• SQL Server Querying huge database tables

  Hi All, We will soon have a huge database table of about 1,500,000,000 records (4,300,000 new records added every day). We need to access this data in many different ways. Are you aware of any reporting engines (like MS RS or Crystal) that can query such a large data tables What else will we need to consider SQL Server limits Optimization tips Replication ... Any comments and suggestions will be gratefully appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Anton. 1.5 billion rows is not a huge problem for SQL Server 2005, assuming you have decent hardware and a very good IO subsystem. Proper indexes are critical, having more indexes will help SELECT statements for reports, but will hurt OLTP performance due to index maintenan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No permission to add work items

  A user is getting that they do not have the permissions to create a work item.  What could cause this At first I thought our work item type must have a [for=] clause associated with it, but it's the default with no restrictions: < TRANSITION from = "" to = " Proposed " > < REASONS > < REASON value = " Build Failure " /> < DEFAULTREASON value = " New " /> </ REASONS > < FIELDS > < FIELD refname = " System.AssignedTo " > < DEFAULT from = " currentuser " /> </ FIELD > </ FIELDS > </ TRANSITION > Secondly, I thought it was because this user is assigned to a custom group in our TFS project called Project Managers.& ...Show All

• Visual C# Simple text to html parser

  Im trying to build a small application where you can copy text from word into a richtextbox it will then look for text written in bold, underline and if there are any bullets and simply put the text out in another box with the html tags. The way the program works it that is scan each word in each line and see if it's normal, bold, underline or if there is a bullet infront of the line. Right now it works with normal text and bold. How ever I cannot get it to detect when there is a bullet. some of the code: for ( int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++) //loop for each line in the text { string [] words = lines .Split(delimiterChars); richTextBox2.AppendText( "<p>" ); for ( int j = 0; j ...Show All
