• Visual Studio Team System Making Area and Iteration Read-Only

  I would like to make the fields Area and Iteration appear as readonly to every group except 1. We have our product management team enter these values, so we do not want anyone else to have access to these fields. How would I go about adding this functionality I tried adding the "Read-Only" field for "Not" the Product Management group, and it worked on other fields but did not allow me to do it for these ones. Take a look at the following thread on how to accomplish this. It's a bit of a convoluted task due to the item id info being used versus a more friendly name http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=571711&SiteID=1 If you wish to make this happen consistentl ...Show All

• Windows Forms Error Handling - Application level

  I know that .NET provides a default run-time error dialog that let's you review an error and then either continue or quit an application. Is it possible to replace this dialog with my own error handling routine I would like to write just one routine that will handle all errors at the application level. I tried to wrap Application .Run( new Form1 ()); in the Try Catch block, and it does work with the exception that I cannot do the Continue action similar to how .NET does it in its error-handling dialog. How can I write code to continue processing Thank you very much for your help! Evgueni The problem is, you don't necessarily want the user to be able to choose to continue. Its entirely possible that the excepti ...Show All

  How can i extract the exposed method signatures from a dll assembly Can anyone help me out.... You can use reflection to examine an assembly.

• Architecture Security architecture

  Hi everybody, I am new in the field of security architecture(software related and not hardware). Can my fellows out here let me know one or two best books on security architecture which will start from basics and can then teach the best practices (Like for Enterprise architecture,martin fowler's book is the best ).

• Visual Basic Disable "Move" for my form

  I am writing Windows Application with VB.NET. I would like to have my form occupying the whole screen and disallow the user from resizing it and moving it. I successfully coded it such that the form didn't move when the user dragged the title bar. It was what I wanted but it was not so perfect. When I press ALT+SPACE, a context menu popped up and this menu contains a menu item called "Move". I wanted to disable this menu item "Move" such that it only showed as a gray text instead of a black text. Which function to call I would agree that there are API calls to do almost anything. The question is should you use them Moving into unmanaged code requires careful consideration. Many Window ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project Templates Not Appearing in New Project Window?

  I just installed VS2005 Pro yesterday, and it seems to me, that there just aren't many project templates appearing when a new project is being created. For instance, I don't see anything for an ASP.Net project at all, where VS 2003 Pro lists an ASP.Net Web App, as well as an ASP.Net Web Service, and others. I found a post for a similar problem with VB Express, and looked in the following path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic, and found a number of templates in .zip files, however all these templates are the ones which are appearing. I have VS 2003 Pro and VS 2005 Pro running concurrently. Shouldn't there be more templates appearing Any replies would be appreciated. Th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Development of Windows Vista

  Microsoft started work on their plans for "Longhorn" in May 2001, prior to the release of Windows XP. It was originally expected to ship sometime late in 2003 as a minor step between Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler") and "Blackcomb" (now known as Windows "Vienna" ). Gradually, "Longhorn" assimilated many of the important new features and technologies slated for "Blackcomb," resulting in the release date being pushed back a few times. Many of Microsoft's developers were also re-tasked with improving the security of Windows XP. Faced with ongoing delays and concerns about feature creep , Microsoft announced on August 27 , 2004 that it was making significant changes. " ...Show All
