• Visual Studio Team System Command line neede to restart test rig

  Hi all I am using mstest to run the load tests from commandline. I have a batch file which runs mstest in loop to run various loadtests. In between 2 sets of load tests, I want to restart the Test Rig. Is there any commandline which I can use to do so Please help. Thanks Priyanka Hello, The controller/agent are services and you can access them as you would any other service running under Service Manager (for more info on how to do this using the commandline, go here: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/03928250-2796-4253-8fb1-b25329ddf35f1033.mspx mfr=true ). We don't support custom commands or APIs; you may want to investigate the ServiceController class i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Random

  i need to make a random function that is only from 1 to 7 and that will not repeat eg 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 random number 3 so 1,2,4,5,6,7 random number 5 so 1,2,4,6,7, random number 6 so 1,2,4,7 and so on. i have tried to make it work but i couldn't I was actually looking for code I wrote, which was smaller than this. But this gets my vote because it creates an object that can be passed to the array, for my money, this is good OO coding and that's why I like it, it reminds me of how the STL works. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can exceptions have additional properties?

  The implication of the ImplementStandardExceptionConstructors rule is that exceptions shouldn't really have additional properties; which seems bad. (This started on this earlier thread; http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=135027&SiteID=1 ) Is that really the recommendation If no, then this rule is too aggressive to have a 95% certainty and nothing under the "When to Exclude Messages" section. If yes, then the only difference between all the exceptions is their type name All exceptions classes could really be instantiated out of a single boiler-plate template where you just fill in the new name. In this case, it's a pit I need to write 50 lines of C#. You could imagine it just be: class MyNewExceptio ...Show All

• Visual C# Error CS0554. user defined conversion to/from derived class

  I have come across a most peculiar compiler error. When I try to define a cast operator to convert from a base class to a derived class I get this error - apparently according to the help "User-defined conversions to values of a derived class are not allowed; you do not need such an operator." Is this as insane as it appears to be or am I missing something somewhere Of course I need to define a cast operator, how else can the compiler know how to create a derived type from a base type Any explanations appreciated. Dave Well, I'll ante up on this. I'm attempting to control the proliferation of type instances to conserve memory use (remember those days :D)  I have a generic id factory with id subtype ...Show All

• Visual Studio Wrong Icon Pixel

  I am working for a software company and we use Microsoft Visual Studio to edit all of our dialogs. In our dialogs, we have icons that are displayed as 16x16 pixels in the actual software, but in Microsoft Visual Studio, they are displayed as 32x32. The difference in pixels is a big annoyance as it is very difficult to position the icons when editing under Visual Studio b/c the actual size of the icon will be much different when it is launched in the software. The work around that we came up with is to create a new image type as 32x32 (the original icon is listed as 16x16 in Visual Studio). We then copy the original icon and paste it into the new 32x32 image type. There are a few limitations in this work around and we have thousands of icon ...Show All

And my game is a space game (big suprise!) so i figured, theres no sound in space, i don't need sound! could someone clear up the confusion for me please p.s. many thanks XNA team, keep up the good work! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Merging xml data into a WordML Template

  Hi all, We are trying to use Word XML files as a generic template for merging data from a database. Same concept as the old mail merge, but not using XML. We have a schema of our data We create a Word XML document We markup the doc with elements from our schema We extract data from the database in XML format Now we want to take the data from the XML document and replace the tags in the Word XML document to produce a merged document. I am having trouble finding an example of this - can someone point me to something I would prefer if we could use generic tools, such as XSLT.

• Smart Device Development Problem when serializing messages to be sent over the net

  Hi all, I'm developing few .NET client/server applications that all use the same model of communication - it sends and receives messages using Sockets. When I serialize/deserialize the message I'm using the BinaryFormatter class. Now I need to build my app so that it is executable on Pocket PC. My first problem was that Compact framework 2.0 SP1 does not contain BinaryFormatter. I was looking for any other serializer-class feasible in the CF and have found only XmlSerializer. So I'm using this class. My actual problem with the XmlSerializer is that it does not serialize my object automatically - I mean that I have always to add the XmlInclude attribute. My class structure is like this: [XmlInclude(typeof(NetMessageBase))] ...Show All
