• Visual Studio Team System renaming branches in TFS

  Hey guys - I have 3 branches setup in TFS as follows Dev -> Staging -> Production I want to rename the staging branch to test, but I also want to keep the hierarchy. My concern is that if I create a new branch called test off Dev, then delete the staging branch, that the Production branch shall be orphaned. Is there an easy way to point the new "test" branch to the production branch to preserve the merging flow etc Thanx Stephen I did not think that it was possible to rename branches - is there an easy way to perform this Thanx!

• Visual Studio Express Editions String to number

  Is there a quick way to convert the string "2.334.654,23" to the number 2334654.23 I have tried decimal.parse but does not like the format of the string (it works with 2,334,654.23). Thanks, Antonio Just tell parse that it's OK with a leading sign by adding the: Globalization.NumberStyles.AllowLeadingSign flag to the parse method. For more flags that you can specify, check out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.globalization.numberstyles.aspx . Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Sate machine workflow

  Hi, I have a simple state machine workflow with three states. I would like to put a timeout on the final state.(ie final state approver didn't approves this within the specified time, the state should go back to previous state). Is there any way to implement this thanks -Abraham Abraham - since each state can have multiple eventdriven activities - the way to implement this is to add an additional eventdriven to your final state - and then have a delay activity as the first activity inside of that eventdriven. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista While activity with counter ?

  Hi :) I am tring to rewrite one of my Code Activity that became to long. It looks like this: foreach(DataRow rowSomeData in someDataSet.Table["MyData"].Rows) { if(someCondition) { while(someCondition == true) { DoSth(); } } } I thought I will build workflow from this logic but if want to write While activity that acts as a for loop, I'd need some index variable that will be accessible in whole loop. I don't want to create local variable for a whole workflow because when I create normal for loop I don't create "index" variable as local... Is there any workaround Jarod Hi, just insert a whileActivity. Into the code write: public sealed ...Show All

• Windows Forms prevent TabPage from getting focused

  Hi, All How can I prevent TabPage from gettign focused while selects it programmatically (through TabControl.SelectedTab property) Thanks, in advance. Unfortunately, exactly in this case it is reasonable to prevent focusing. In two words I have next situation: I have the form with TreeView and TabControl controls on it. User can navigate through TreeView by arrow buttons and can select any TabPage in TabControl using predefined shortcuts. Each TabPage contains a piece of information about selected TreeNode in TreeView. I think it is better to get focused on TreeView to allow user to navigate through it continuously. P.S. I suppose it is not good behaviour of control to stealing focus. It is mu ...Show All

• Visual C++ public method performance

  Ok lets say I have a method in my class, it gets called a lot and performance is critical; it's small so adding extra if statements will add maybe some thing like 25% to it's execution time. I want the user to be able to chose between "fast" mode where there are no value checks, and "safe" mode for beginners which will be slower (due to extra value checking code) which will make sure the parameter is correct. Again do to the small size of the method and value check having a if(mode == safe) won't make much sense because I might as well just do the value check all the time. Now here's the meat of my question: How much overhead will using a delegate in CLI to chose a safe or fast method In native C++ how much ...Show All

• Visual Basic Inserting Text into PictureBox Control at Run Time

  Is it possible to programmatically insert text into a PictureBox control in VB 2005 In VB 6 the Print method was available but it is not available in VB 2005.
