• Visual Studio Team System WorkItem Project Alerts not working

  Hi, We have project alerts working fine for "Build completes" and "Anything Checked in" project alerts. But NOT for the "work items changed by others" setting. Any idea why this is the case We have been creating and assigning work items up the wazoo but no alert emails so far... I don't see errors in the event log either. Thanks, JGP Can you double check if the email ID given in Send To is correct. To do this, right-click Project and then select Project alerts. Make sure that "My work Items are changed by others and checked" and the valied email ID is given. Thanks Sagar ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF hosting DirectX

  I am trying to run an app that uses DirectX and C# in a WPF/Vb app. I created a usercontrol with C# that essentially runs the main window of the DirectX app. I tried the usercontrol with .NET 2.0 and Windows Forms and all is OK. I then tried it with WPF and I got a LoaderLock error which I got around by turning off the LoaderLock exception in VS2005. I do not get any exceptions but the DirectX part of the original app does not render. All the other controls in the original app render OK inside the WPF window, but the DirectX part is black. Any ideas Thanks John I had a similar problem with the LoaderLock.  I looked it up and it seems to be some sort of specific error handling ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Runtime Hosted in Windows Service

  Hi All Could someone please confirm to me that what I'm proposing to do is feasible: 1. Host runtime only in a windows service 2. Host the Workflow instances in ASP.net 3. Use WCF to call to the runtime from ASP.net Thanks DB DB, Both the WF runtime and the WF instances need to run in the same AppDomain (process), since it is the runtime precisely that provides the necessary environment to run the WF instances! However, you could run the runtime and workflow instances in the windows services and use the facilities in WF to expose them as services, which you later consume from your ASP.NET application in order to communicate across the boundary. ...Show All

• Windows Forms costum controls with GDI+

  Hi, I would like to create a control with the same functions as a trackbar and it should look like this: http://users.telenet.be/ymweb/example.jpg I've been told that I should use GDI+ to do this but the problem is that I can't find anything on how I can create controls like these. The only thing I came up with was things like text tickers and drawing figures. Is there any good tutorial that will help me solve my problem or can anyone help me solving it Best regards, Yannick Hi, These tutorials may be useful: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/mahesh/gdi_plus12092005070041AM/gdi_plus.aspx http://www.publicjoe.f9.co.uk/csharp/csharp21.html Have a nice day :-) ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Getting file's directory

  I'm trying to get the full directory path for a file in VB .NET and have tried a variety of techniques.  My biggest problem is either a 'NULL' return or a "" return. Attempts include: 1. FileSystemInfo.FullName .... this returns a Null 2. FileInfo.Directory....returns a Null How do I get this work without it returning a null result If you can not read C# (and any VB developer should be able to as C# is different from VB mostly in keywords order and semicolon at the end), please convert that to VB using any free online translator available.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Trouble after B2tr

  Hey! (Sorry if i've picked the wrong forum). I got sharepoint along with pro plus about 2 months ago and was informed about a month ago that I would need Beta 2 Tech refresh to carry on using Office after the launch. I haven't tried to use sharepoint since until last week. It installed something before trying to open, then didn't open at all. When I tried again to open it, it displays, in a small box in the centre: Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. (line about losing work) Please tell microsoft about this problem. (more lines) Debug.....Send Error Report.....Don't send I have tried pretty much everything and don't know what to do.

• Visual C# Prebuilt collection class?

  Does .NET 2.0 have any pre-built (non-abstract) collection or dictionary classes I'd like to have a simple collection with strings as indices and some custom objects as values, where I can add, remove, check if an item exists, and get an item by index. I really don't want to have to implement all of the needed methods, but I haven't been able to find any ready-made collection classes in the .NET libraries. Any ideas To answer my own question, I found it: System.System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary<key type, value type> The implementation is a little unwieldy (separate ContainsKey() and ContainsValue() methods, for example), but it will have to do. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System The difference in purposes of the "Analysis" and "Plan an Iteration" workstreams (MSF for CMMI)?

  Hi again, Another thing I am trying to grasp is why both "Analysis" and "Plan an Iteration" workstreams are needed Or, rather, why in both of them scenarios and QoS requirements are broken down into smaller tasks, but this is done by different roles Wouldn't it be more logical to prepare the task breakdown first in the "Analysis" workstream, and reuse it later in the "Plan an Iteration" workstream Regards, Dmytro Lapshyn Shame on me - looks like I wasn't attentive enough when I was reading the MSF for CMMI Process Guidance. Now it looks like the "Analysis" workstream is spawned from the "Iteration Analysis" activity of the "Plan an I ...Show All
