• Visual Studio Team System Old Work Items missing from query

  Hi all One of the developers in my group run into this problem : we have more then 3000 work items in our system (RTM). when preforming the "all work items" query, he gets only the last 250 (by ID) !!! he has the developer edition. when I run the same query on my machine, with the team suite edition, I get to see all work items. how (and where exactly) can I allow him to see those work items, since he is suppose to be working on them.... weird... Thanks, Guy ...Show All

• .NET Development Random Number Generator Problem

  Hi all, I cannot seem to solve this problem: I am attempting to generate a unique filename with the help of the Random Number Generator (RND.Next.ToString). All seems to work fine except that one third of the time, I get duplicate file names; this poses a critical problem for my application. The problem only seems to happen when Method1 calls Function2 to generate and return the random file name. If I move the logic to generate the filename into Method1, it works properly. I have tried to use SyncLock, etc. but to no avail. Why is it that when Method1 calls Function2 to generate the random file name, I get duplicates, whereas if I move the logic from Function2 into Method1, I get no duplicate file names. Is this due to threading ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reference and Component lists in VB

  Hi all, can't find a forum for ye olde VB6 so gotta chance getting an answer here. Anyone know how to remove old references and components from the lists in VB6 I've deleted some old DLLs/OCXs from my PC but they're still in the lists. Cheers. You should have unregistered them before deleting them. Some regcleaners will remove these obsolete entries which is probably your best option now. ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Context menu in WPF/E

  Is WPF/E going to support customizable context menu on right mouse click Right now we do not have plans to expose right mouse button events. When we expose a context menu for the control itself (think of an "About WPF/E control" option on the context menu) we initially would not provide the ability to customize that context menu. Not saying that we will never add this, just not something we are doing currently. How important is a context menu Do you see custom context menus a lot in Flash sites I know I'm personally starting to see more context menus in AJAX sites. One option is that you expose a little glyph next to your content that displays a 'context menu' -- not something that is right-clicked based. This might be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading back a rendering surface in .NET 2.0

  I need to read back a large RGBA image to system memory in .NET 2.0. It appears that the documented function Surface.LockRectangle had disappeared from DX9 2.0. Another function, Surface.Lock exists, but I haven't found good examples of how to use it to get access to the pixels. My render target buffer is named "backbuffer", (A8R8G8B8). By some trial and error, I got as far as the following (VB.NET code): Dim MemSurface As Surface = device.CreateOffscreenPlainSurface(outputsize, outputsize, Format.A8R8G8B8, Pool.SystemMemory) device.GetRenderTargetData(backbuffer, MemSurface) Dim GB As GraphicsBuffer = MemSurface.Lock( New Rectangle(0, 0, outputsize, outputsize), LockFlags.None) This code executes without ge ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UserName and Password validation only

  Hello I'm trying to make an application that uses security features. There are quite a number of samples too. What I'd like to do is just to use UserName and Password only. Say, you get the username and password, compare them to the database, and then authenticate. I'm not familiar with security mechanisms but it seems like every single sample uses x.509 certificate when using username and password validation. So if anyone can give me a sample of UserName and Password validation only, that would be great. Also, I want to study on x.509 certificate. How it works and how I can make a certification and stuff.
