• Visual Studio Team System VS 2003 and Vs2005 using MSSCCI provider

  Hello all, I have vs 2003 and vs 2005 installed on the same machine. I have a 2003 solution that's inside TFS source control and i've installed MSSCCI provider to use with my vs 2003. In the moment that I open Vs2003 and choose MSSCCI provider, it automatically opens vs2005 and i cant work on my solution, because its not converted yet. Does anyone know how could i use the vs2003 without need to uninstall vs 2005 Thanks! Hello, The "File->Source Control->Team Foundation Server Msscci Provider" is the command to run external tool for the active msscci provider - in the case of TFS, it's VS2005. To start working with Msscci you just need to: File->Source Control->Open From Source Control to select projec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error when trying to generate report rsItemNotFound

  The item '/EA Current Version/Remaining Work' cannot be found. (rsItemNotFound) Get Online Help I checked the TFSwarehouse database and it Seems there are a few errors. A week ago I moved the Databases from our C: to our E: on our appServer01 because C was running out of space. That might`ve caused this - not sure. When I look at tables, say the Code Churn Table, I have the columns: __ID LInes Added Lines Modified LInes Deleted Net Lines Added __LastUpdateTime __LastUPdatedBy __TrackingID Chanset FileName Date Checked IN By Team Project I think the error is that i have `__` in the column names, but not sure. Any advice would rock. We purposely prefixed certain columns in the Warehouse with '__' so I believe t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Custom Control wont ctrl-c copy.

  Hi! I made a nice toobar/database navagator. using a custom control with a hidden navagation bar in it. its got a slider and some buttons like print and post. The problem is that if i need to ctrl-c it in the design mode of a windows form project, i get an error. "Object referrence not set to an instance". The problem is that i cannot trap the error to even begin to find where the error is occurring. Normally i would not need to copy it but i wanted to lift it off the form to place it onto a container. I got arround it this time by tweaking the 'form.designer.vb' file. But i like have clean code and it bugs me that i cannot copy it. Any one Thanx Jerry ciciarega I thin ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development MSHTML based scraper

  Hi, I'm writing a web scraper toolkit in C++ which I'll be using to write several web scrapers. I decided to save myself some time by using MSHTML to parse pages, but I've run into a number of problems with it. I'm not sure if this is exactly the right forum for this issue, but it's the closest I could find. Getting a single page in and parsing it is no problem. I can walk the DOM nicely and pick off whatever info I want. Pretty easy. (At least, after writing some wrappers for the otherwise laborious COM interfaces.) The problem is getting to the next page. If I do anything that would normally cause navigation, such as inducing a click on a link or submitting a form, it launches IE to browse the page interactively. According to MS ...Show All

• Visual C# Web Service Partial Class

  I just converted an application that communicates with the database via web services to VS2005. The conversion worked fine but I could not get the application to communicate with the web services. I kept getting a web method error. So, I decided to convert the web services to VS2005 as well. The conversion of the web services went well also. However, when I generate the proxy class through WSDL.exe, and add the proxy class to my application, it will not compile. The proxy class generated by the WSDL.EXE utility for VS2005 creates a Public Partial Class and the compiler doesn't like it. It throws an error for each of the three Public Partial Classes generated by the WSDL.EXE utility that states: Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Determining Active Users of TFS

  I've been trying to find a way for some time to determine who the "active" or "recent" users of our TFS instance are for the purpose of being able to send notifications of server downtime. I know it's possible, because Brian Harry has a query he uses to come up with a count for his dogfooding statistics, but I haven't had any luck tracking it down. Does anyone know how I can get this information from the TFS databases And for the record, I know there is the alternative approach of finding users for notification by resolving all users that have permissions directly from the TF groups, however 1) most of our permissions are granted via Active Directory groups (or groups of groups), and 2) many of those thus entitled do ...Show All

• Visual C# automagically adding "" {} () [] etc...

  I was at an MSDN event yesterday and the presenter enabled a setting in VS2005 that would automatically add a pair of quotes "" whenever the context was expecting it. I have looked in my options of VS2005 standard and I can't find an options which does this. I have found options which purports to automagically add braces {} when a new line is typed I.E. class MyClass { <these added when new line (enter key) typed. } However my system doesn't do this. Is there a master setting somewhere that enables these enhancements Thanks Edwin EdwinSmith wrote: I was at an MSDN event yesterday Ironically I learned about an intellisense feature at a MS event too.

• .NET Development Best way for direct peer-to-peer binary file transfer?

  If I wanted to write an app that two people on two diff. machines on a WAN could run, and use it to transfer files (so the app acts as a client and server in one), what is the best way to do this There are so many .NET components that involve network xfer of data.. Http, Ftp, etc. TcpClient and TcpServer seem to look fine, except I can't seem to figure out how (once a client is connected) to only receive data when it is received (asynchronously). I figured out I can set up a Timer obj to fire off every 100ms which then checks server.Pending() to see if there are connections. But I didn't see any similar mechanism to check for pending incoming data. Is TcpClient/TcpServer the best way to build this kind of app Also, what if I wanted to ma ...Show All

• SQL Server Package.dtsx -> XML format description/manual request

  Hi All, As I see it is possible to view a package (dtsx) in XML form. Is the XML stable and documented Would it be good decision to use the XML as source for third party development or we need to use some API to get package's content Where I could get the package's XML structure description/manual Thanks, Sergiy I'd say the overall schema is stable, but it is not publically documented so subject to change I guess. What will change is the detailed sections within tasks or components that describe properties. Task or component developers can change that whenever they feel like, and may do. Whilst that may sound a bit dangerous, it is perfectly acceptable since they would be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System outputDirectory doesnt seem to work

  Hi All, FOr a test project I have in VS2005, I hand edited my locattest.testrunconfig to have the following: <key type="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Common.DeploymentItem"> <path type="System.String">cfg</path> <outputDirectory type="System.String">cfg</outputDirectory> </key> Per my understanding that should copy over the cfg folder in my SolutionDir to the Out/cfg folder in TestResults, at the end of the test. Unfortunately it copies over the _contents_ of the cfg folder into the Out folder (no cfg folder created). Am I missing something very basic here Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

• Community Chat Convert Money value to its Textual Representation

  Code Competition I had answered a post Convert to letter format a number value and provided a response that went counter to the logic of the threads up to that point. The two code examples provided to the poster used enums. I posted with a title Enums make me E-Numb and provided a code sample that use no enumerations. One of the other poster's code sample was .Net but based on a previous process he had written in a non .Net language. He commented that he had run my sample and after 100K operations mine was four second faster. He requested that I add some features to the code and repost so he could retest. I accepted his request and that is what this is...a place to post the code away from the original post so it does not become an OTP fro ...Show All
