• Visual Studio Team System Javascript actions in coded web test not working correctly

  After reading the white paper of Josh ‘ Web Test Authoring and Debugging technique’ , I figured out that I could mimic the JavaScript action of a ‘ add to cart’ button for our product. Hence I coded my web test and included the following piece of code in the appropriate section request9Body.FormPostParameters.Add( "btnFinish" , "Add to Cart" ); There was already another ‘formpostparameters.add’ just prior to that in the same request. request9Body.FormPostParameters.Add( "Body" , "&Anthem_UpdatePage=true&__EVENTTARGET=btnFinish&__EVENTARGUMENT=&__VIEWSTATE=%2Fw" + However, this did not make any difference to the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Retrieving Information from a RichTextBox Selection

  Hi, I would like to know how to retrieve the inlines contained within a selection. I have tried various ways to retrieve the exact inlines contained whithin the selection, but I never get accurate results. Can someone please help Thank you, Jaco Jaco, your approach looks reasonable. I wonder if the duplication is because you hit the InlineUIContainer start AND end edge while iterating through the content: <InlineUIContainer>[start]<UIElement/>[end]</InlineUIContainer> As you iterate through the above content, tpCurrent.Parent will be an InlineUIContainer in two places -- [start] and [end]. You could use logic like if (tpCurrent.Parent is InlineUIContainer) { st ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Requiring parameters in messages

  If I have an operation like: int AddIntegers(int int1, int in2), it seems like I can invoke this message by sending a message that does not have the int2 parameter, i.e. a message that looks like: <soap:Envelope><soap:Body><int1>2</int1></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>. WCF will assign the default value to int2 (= 0) and it will work as if nothing was wrong. What is the best way to make parameters required I find it strange that parameters are optional by default and not required. I know that the DataMemberAttribute has a IsRequired property, but how do I make the method parameters themselves required I was hoping to do something like: [OperationContract(RequireParameters = true)] int AddIntegers ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Solutions not staying bound in TFS

  I just created a brand new solution with 21 Projects and 2 Web Application Projects. I Right Clicked on the solution and clicked "Add Solution to Source Control" and it added perfectly fine. Now, 10 minutes later, if I close down Visual Studio, and re-open it, my solution file does not have the "Lock" icon beside it, nor is it bound to source control. This has been happening forever with TFS, are there any fixes out for it yet. Can you have the others follow the same steps That is, - make sure all the files are actually stored on the server, not just pending add (common mistake coming from VSS) - make sure everything is under a valid workspace mapping - bind the solutions (File -> Source Control -> Change S ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need Help/Ideas for Program

  I'm making a program that changes the size of a group of user-selected images stored on the hard drive (JPEG, GIF, BMP, ect.), but I'm kind of stuck on how to approach this. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas/suggestions. I know how to resize each single image, but I don't know how I should automate it to do a group of images one after another. I was thinking about storing a list of filepath addresses of the images... Thanks for any help. Would this work for multiple individual files Basically what I want to do is open a file dialog and be able to select multiple images by either holding down CTRL or SHIFT, and then I want to store the filepath addresses of these selected files for later use.

• SQL Server Won't select rows with null field values

  I cannot in the life of me understand what goes wrong here... In a webapplication (C#.NET) I traced an inability to retrieve existing records to SQL Server, where I cannot do the same either. The problem is that in the parameterized query, some fields can be null, and thus when the corresponding fields in the database record are null also, they should be selected. But this won't happen for some reason. I wrote a test SQL statement that gives me the same bogus: DECLARE @institution int, @collection int, @serialnr int, @subnr nvarchar(50) SET @institution = 1 SET @collection = 1 SET @serialnr = 240 SET @subnr = NULL SELECT ID, Institution, Collection, SerialNumber, SubNumber, AccessionYear, Sagsnummer, DanekraeNr, TaxonIdentified, ...Show All

• SQL Server USB had disk

  Dear all, I am running SQL server 2005 on MSCS. Does anyone has experience to take online backup on USB disk. What will be the performance How the USB hard disk can be added to cluster group as a resource. Thanks Imran Hasware It will be very slow if you perform a direct backup to USB disk, as you wouldn't get that speed (USB 2.0) that is compared to do a local disk. It is better to perform to disk and then copy to USB disk to avoid such performance degrade during the backup operation. ...Show All
