• Visual Studio Team System Adding a Timer or Stop Watch in Visual Studio

  Hi, What are my options for creating a Timer integrated with Visual Studio Thank you, Swatantra Hi Carlos, I am trying to keep track of how much time a person spent in completing a task in Visual Studio. He will use a stopwatch for the purpose. One option that I am considering is to add a control to a TSFS form such as Work Item. I was wondering if I should go ahead and write an addin or there is an exisiting control that acts like a timer. Thank you, Swatantra ...Show All

• SQL Server Delete records that don exist in the destination

  Hi all, I am developing an ETL wherein the requirement is to do an incremental load and at the same time, if there is a record that got deleted in the Source delete it from the destination too, makes sense. The approach am doing is, pick data from the SRC and Destination, pass it onto a Merge join component, do a Full Outer join, then pass the rows to a conditional split. Newly Added records and updated records I can handle, how do I handle the Deleted records Am I correct in the way I am doing or there is something better to handle this Thanks in advance Hi Jamie, Thx for the comments, I started working exactly the same way, but now am into an issue here. I am starting with two small table ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BuildStatusChangeEvent and Sharepoint notification

  Hi, After a build quality changes (like "Release to QA"), is it possible to subscribe to the buildchangeevent alert as a sharepoint notification or is it possible to include a link in sharepoint to the build directory along with the "Build Quality" filtered to "Release to QA" Please let me know, if you have some tips. Thanks There's no direct support for a sharepoint notification. However, you can sign up for email notification (in VS, go to the Team menu, choose Project Alerts, and fill in your email address). You can also write a custom app and register it for SOAP notifications, and that app could then update SharePoint ( http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/teamsystem/archive/2006/07/0 ...Show All

• Visual C++ Profiling C++ .Net app in Visual Studio .Net 2003 enterprise version

  Hi, Does anyone know how to profile a C++ .Net application in VS .NET 2003. With VS 6, you can do it by enabling the "profile" in project property link page. But in VS .NET 2003, I couldn't find this setting. Has it moved to some other places I don't believe a profiler was included with VS .Net 2003. There is a free community edition of a profiler from one of our partners which you can use with 2003. VSTS 2005 however does include an excellent profiler. ...Show All

• Visual Basic graphing persistent lines in a PicBox, NOT from the paint event??

  I made a routine that evaluates a math expression by plotting its graph in a picbox. To get a persistent linegraph in graphics in VB.net, I found out that I have to draw in the _paint event of a picbox. That works, but now I want to make a separate button that puts a second (and third, etc) linegraph onto that same picbox so that they both are persistent. Purpose is to allow students to alter a parameter, then plot a new line overlaying the old one to let them evaluate what changes occur. But obviously the second one has to be drawn when I press the button, rather than from within the paint event. How can I make a button that writes a line in the picbox, WITHOUT having it in the picbox_paint event, and yet keep it persistent T ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream Hi Jeff, As some one who is a partner in a company (and lead developer) that produces enterprise high performance security applications, many of them in C#, I think you will be very surprised what you can do with C#. I develop in C++, C++/CLI (.net C++) and C#. C# is my favorite by far. While it certainly takes a lot of care and research to get the "barn burning" speed you can truly get out of C#. Once you know what to avoid and how to write performance critical apps in C#, you will only go back when you ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Creating CAB files for different Processors

  Hi, I want to create CAB files for different processors. Can any one guide how can i proceed. Thanks in Advance, There are no mass market mobile devices running anything but ARM. All Windows Mobile devices are ARM, no exceptions. SH3 is not supported started CE 5 and it's not supported by NETCF V2. There are some industrial controllers running MIPS variations. They are commonly mounted inside something and in many cases don’t even have displays. Unless your application specifically designed for these devices it would never run on MIPS, x86 or SH4. Let me repeat: you don’t need to worry about anything but ARM unless you’re given specific device by your customer and asked to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions cannot convert from string to integer

  I am having some difficulty with my code. When I run the program, the Sub tells me the values(ie: RECash2,3,4,&5) are "". Only RECash1 is "0". When I change the values during debugging and continue, the program runs fine. My problem is that I cannot get the values to save after changing them, or to change them before running the program. Any help would be appreciated. The code I have is: RECash1.Text = "0" RECash2.Text = "0" RECash3.Text = "0" RECash4.Text = "0" RECash5.Text = "0" RECash6.Text = "0" RECash7.Text = "0" RECash8.Text = "0" RECash9.Text = "0" RECash10.Text = " ...Show All
