• Visual Studio Team System Project->Tasks: bogus start dates?

  So I have a fairly simple MSProject plan. I set up the tasks, assign to developers, input the work and get the calculated durations and, after leveling, start/end dates. All looks good in Project. Now I point it to a TFS project and do my Publish. All of a sudden, the Start dates for a handful of tasks get pushed out *months* from where they should be. For example, a task slated to begin in two weeks suddenly gets a start date of next May (even though the entire project is complete by this December). On the GANTT, you see a line drom the previous dependency vanish off way to the right. Funny thing is that I can Clear the leveling and re-level, and the dates in Project are right. But as soon as I Publish, they screw up again. Same tasks, di ...Show All

• Windows Forms When CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls == true, does the framework inform of ALL the control access errors?

  Hello, When I set the Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls to true, Visual Studio generates an exception each time I try to access a control from a thread other than the thread on which the control was created. However, in some cases this exception is not generated. For example, I am using the ComponentOne Chart ( www.componentone.com ), and I am able to update the graphs of the chart from another thread without Visual Studio generating an exception. However, in 1 case out of 10, an exception is still generated, by the control itself, although visual Studio does not inform me that I am accessing the control illegally from another thread. That is, is seems that the framework (Visual Studio) does not inform of ALL the illegal acc ...Show All

• Windows Forms BUG: ReportViewer "Page 1 of 1" when actually "Page 1 of 2"

  First, I admit: This is a little difficiult to reproduce. We are about to deliver an application with the ReportViewer embedded. It has saved us a lot of time and heartache. Until yesterday. A user went into a report with "Page 1 of 2" but because they wanted to check something they refreshed, then they refreshed again and then again and then again. Suddenly, the viewer read "1 of 1" but there were really two - how do I know because I saved and it had more than one page, I printed and it had more than one page and I typed in "2" and it navigated to page 2. I can make this happen again and again - all I need to do is refresh quite a few times. It is not a regular number of refreshes, sometimes 2 som ...Show All

If you don't have the pdb file, you'll have to recompile the assembly in debug mode. Hope this helps ...Show All
