• Visual Studio Team System How to create a master build?

  Hey guys, I have a special requirement in doing with TFS Build. There are several build types under a Team Project, let's say these build types are: typeA,typeB,typeC. I can run each of these build type successfully. Now we wonder if we can create a build type called masterBuild, which consists of all these build types. After I run the masterbuild, all build types included by masterbuild will be put according to following structure: \MasterBuild_2006.10.1\TypeA MasterBuild_2006.10.1\TypeB MasterBuild_2006.10.1\TypeC Any idea is appreciated. Thanks Hi Steve You are right. That's what I want to say. The most difficult point of this is to pass the folder path to sub build type. I am st ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions print compression when deployed

  I have a report being utilized for return address labels, conforming to Avery 5167. I have tried designing both as a table and as data in rectangles. Since these are return labels their is only one instance of data replicated for all textboxes, therefore the columns are of consistant length. The report has seven columns of precise measurement, the data filled colums are set as 1.75in, 0.25in, and between the data columns are blank columns set to .3125in, 0.25in. I have also tried to fill data into the blank colums and set the font color to white. All report margins are set to 0in and the table location is 0.04167in, 0.125in. all textboxes have the properties for increase/decrease to accomadate turned off. The biggest issue I a ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums More points in routeItinerary?

  Hello people, i ' d really appreciate if someone can help me with this one. I need to get more intermmediate points in a routeItinerary object after querying directions with getRoute() method. Sometimes, when there is a long way on the same route, one step could be several hundreds long. I need to get steps like 25 miles long.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Data Contact Question

  Hopefully this is a really simple question. What is the best way to expose constants in a WCF service. Is there anyway to make a datacontract for a constant public const string SomePreference = "MyKey"; What the best way to make a data contract for this The only way I can think of doing this is to make a class like this: public class Preferences { public string SomePreference { get { return "MyKey"; } } } We have a bunch of constants like this we need to deal with. Any guidance would be greatly appriecated! Thanks! curious why you would not use an enum... [DataContract] enum PreferenceType { [EnumMember] pref1, [EnumMember] pref2 ...Show All

• Visual C# Using Enum as Index

  If I have an enum such as public enum Test { One = 1, Two, Three } I want to be able to add a value based on the enumerated type such as: MyValue[Test.One] = 17; I would also like to keep ot strongly typesd so MyValue[1] = 17; is invalid. Is this possible within C# OK if I had public enum Test { One = 1, Two = 2, Hundred = 100 } The array would be 3 elements so I could not use MyValues[(int)Test.Hundred] = 17; It also is not strongly typed, I could still implement MyValues[2] = 17; which I want to disallow or at least check ...Show All

• .NET Development Rookie problem with less than ("<") filter in a select statement

  I have a rookie problem with the less than ("<") filter in a select statement. I am working in ASP 1.1 in c-sharp and with a Microsoft Access Database. The code below works fine SqlString = "SELECT ID,SURVEYID,NAME,ADDRESS,CITY,STATE,ZIP,LAT,LONG,AGEMAX FROM asps WHERE AGEMAX " + ">" + 10; This code returns eveything in the database. The only difference is the "<" filter. SqlString = "SELECT ID,SURVEYID,NAME,ADDRESS,CITY,STATE,ZIP,LAT,LONG,AGEMAX FROM asps WHERE AGEMAX " + "<" + 10; Any suggestions Thanks ...Show All

  I am using Windows Application. I have a C# compiled screen handler. First I load the data base for the screen, 21 X 1000. Then i use Console.Write() to fill each location in the screen.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) x:Subclass does not work

  Hi, I have a user control and want it to subclass a my base class instead of System.Windows.Controls.UserControl. I figured I could use x:Subclass as follows: < UserControl x:Class = " MyClass " x:Subclass = " MyBaseClass " xmlns = http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation xmlns:x = http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml > Unfortunately, this does not work. The generated code still subclasses UserControl and (for some reason) the partial modifier is removed in the generated code.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Custom soundtracks

  I've only had XNA Game Studio Express since yesterday, but I've been having a lot of fun with it. I've started working on a game which is coming along nicely, but one thing irks me - I can't figure out how to have music playing that stops when a user chooses a custom soundtrack instead. At the moment, when a user chooses their own track is starts playing fine, but the game soundtrack continues to play in the background. I'm sure I've missed something simple, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Any hints would be much appreciated.
