• Visual Studio Team System Unshelving and merging changes

  Hello, I have the following problem: 1. Make a change to a file, create a Shelveset 2. Undo the shelving, make other changes to the same file, check them in 3. Unshelve the Shelveset This removes the changes I did in (2). This may or may not be as designed, but it is not what I expect. If the changes that were made in (2) were subtle, they will probably not be noticed. I found the TFPT (Team Foundation Power Toys) which have a unshelve+merge operation, but it does not do what I thought it would, it just merges local edits with the shelve set. Any ideas how I can workaround this problem Best regards, Martin Buck Hodges wrote: You won't actually lose changes. When you go to check in, you'll be pr ...Show All

• SQL Server PageBreak after x items for group, different on first page

  I am trying to add a page break for table details after x items with x being different for the first page of report. I am able to add a page break by adding a group to table with group expression =Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/25). But I can't figure out how to do this where groupexpression on page 1 of report = Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/15) and on all other pages =Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/25). I tried =IIF(Globals!PageNumber=1,Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/15),Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/25)) but Globals cannot be used in group expression. I also tried putting group expression in a textbox on the report but it will not let me refer to the textbox. Any assistance is appreciated! Chris references: http://msdn2.microso ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Display Sub Directory Names

  I would like to generate a list of directories in a Combo Box. For example I have C:/Projects/ and inside we have project folder like Project 1, Project 2, etc. C:/Projects/Project 1 C:/Projects/Project 2 I would like to be able to display Project 1 and Project 2 as options to choose from in a ComboBox.

• Visual Studio Express Editions .cpp file and .h file relationship

  Okay..... I am a complete newbie to VC++ and especially express edition. I have a form1.h file where I have built my GUI. I have a .cpp file which does a load of cool stuff such as interface with a USB datalogger (rx and tx from a USB port basically). I want the code that runs (from my .cpp file on compilation) to affect the labels etc. on the code in the GUI. For example - I have a globally declared integer array (don't shout I know global declarations are bad) which is fed data from the USB interface code. Depending on the data in the array I want to modify the text of labels in my GUI.... How do I do this DPMevents wrote: Just to clarify though - my header file de ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 3/4 Perspective in a 2d game

  I have been working on a fairly simple, fairly silly, Zombie game that is purely in 2D "straight on" perspective right now. I'd like to do a 3/4 view like that of many of the Zelda games, or perhaps a pseudo-3d side scroller like Golden Axe/Double Dragon/Castle Crashers. I am completely new at this so I really have no idea where to begin. Is creating a 3/4 perspective or something like Castle Crashers just a matter of changing how you draw sprites or can you adjust the viewport to give this kind of view without having to draw sprites specifically for that perspective Just to be clear, I'm not really intersted in creating a 3d game, I want it to stay 2d, I just want to know what my options are for creating perspective with 2d art ...Show All

• Windows Forms License agreement dialog box

  Hi , I would like to add licence agreement dialog box for VB.NET Windows/Compact framework source codes. Meaning that,User must choose "agree" to see the source code. How to do it I used VS2003. Thank You I would suggest getting the user to agree to a licence at the point of installing the source code so that they will not get to see the source code if they say 'no'. If your using a VS2005 Setup project to generate the msi then it is very simple. Go to the user interface editor for the setup project and then right click one of the existing dialog windows. There should then be an option to add another dialog page for the install process and pick the one called 'licence agreement'. ...Show All

• SQL Server Odd Behavior in reverse() or syaltfiles?

  I originally posted this question on dbforums. Does this happen to anyone else http://www.dbforums.com/showthread.php t=1614086 The short of it is, install SQL Server 2000 to a non-default location that has a shorter path than the usual C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\blah\blah\blah. Say E:\MSSQL8. Now run these queries, and see if you get the same oddities I get: select filename from master..sysaltfiles where dbid = 2 go select reverse(rtrim(filename)), filename from sysaltfiles where dbid = 2 go select reverse(rtrim(filename)) from sysaltfiles where dbid = 2 I can verify this happens here too... that's pretty cool you found this (excluding the headache it causes). select Convert ( varchar , ...Show All
