• Visual Studio Team System Q about Incremental Build

  Hi, I configured my Team Build to make Incremental Build There is a way to get all the files/Changesets that changed since the last get operation (Incremental Build use an incremental Get operation – ForceGet is set to be False) Help will be much appreciated, Shmulik Hi Aaron, from my experience just setting those properties will not be enough. Eventually somebody will delete or move a directory in your source control. The next get on the build server will try to delete this directory. If this directory contains a visual studio project that has been build, the directory will then contain temporary files and directories (e.g. "obj\debug"). tf get will return a n ...Show All

• Visual Studio File versions related to a label

  I am trying to get the numeric version number (number of times the file has been modified) of the files associated with a particular label. A requirement of our project is to know the numeric version number of all source files in a particular "Version". We used to use CMS on a VAX Station and the output looked like this Files in version "1.3": file1.c (3) , file2.c (12), file3.c (1) This information is what we still need. The numbers in the parethesis are the numeric count for the number of times the file has been modified. I can see the data (would have to parse the text file output and pull out what I need) on each file under the history option using the FROM and TO fields, but I have > 900 source files, ...Show All

• SQL Server data conversion - numeric to string loosing precision

  Hi All, i'm using a "data conversion" object to convert a numeric field to a string just before i save the record set to the database. the problem is when this numeric field is > 0 it looses the precision on its decimal value. example, if numeric value is 0.32 after converting this to a string, the new value will be : .32 it's lost the 0 infront of it. i can't do this converion in the query level because it's a derived field, so i need to convert it to a string before stroing it. when converting to string i'm using the code page 1252 (ANSI - Latin I). i also tried with unicode string both looses this 0 infront. can any one help on this Hi Mark, thanks for that, but it sort of half answer my qu ...Show All

• .NET Development Optional value type pointer/reference parameter during COM interop

  Hey, I am facing an interesting interop problem that I haven't found a solution for yet. Let's say a COM method takes a pointer to a simple struct: HRESULT Foo(LPBAR pBar); Let's also say that this parameter is optional and the call pInterface->Foo(NULL); is perfectly valid. Now, if the structure BAR is defined in C#: [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 4)] public struct Bar { // ... }; and the COM interop method call is also defined: [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.InternalCall, MethodCodeType = MethodCodeType.Runtime)] public void Foo(ref Bar); In this case, there is no way to be able to call Foo(null) in C#, although it would be valid. The question is: how do I let the Marshaler know that it should pass ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't link a managed wrapper (mixed managed/native) assembly to a static lib???

  Unless I'm missing something, this seems like a fairly major limitation... I have a mixed manage and native "wrapper" assembly project that wraps a third party's static library. We do not have a DLL version of the third party library, just the .lib. In VS 2003 with managed extensions for C++, the project compiled and linked fine. Now, after having converted all the managed extension stuff to C++/CLI, I have it all compiling. However, it does not link because of multiply defined symbols (LNK2005 error). It appears the static library had linked (statically) to libcmt.lib When linking my project I get 20 or so linker errors like this: libcmt.lib(fflush.obj) : error LNK2005: _fflush already defined in MSVCRTD.lib(MSVCR80D.dll) My ...Show All

• Visual C# Assign control text from script

  Hi, Im wondering if its possible to assing the text of my controls at start up from a script file. The script file would be in a format similar to this... fileToolStripMenuItem=File openToolStripMenuItem=Open exitToolStripMenuItem=Exit the program would just run through the text file (script) and split the string based on the equals, the left of the equals character being the name of the control and the right being the text to assign to it. I have been working on this and where i run into trouble is telling which control its text, as in i cant tell fileToolStripMenuItem that its text is File.
