• Visual Studio Problem Deleting File

  We are trying modify our Team Build script to replace some source files before the compile is done. More specifically we want to replace some config files that are in a sub directory. My TFSBuild.proj section looks like this: <Target Name="BeforeCompile"> <Delete Files="$(SolutionRoot)\OrderMgmt\BusinessLogic\App.config" /> </Target> We also have a COPY task that uses the same path, which works fine if we remove the file that is supposed to be deleted before we run the build. So the path is resolving properly. Everytime we try to run the build with the Delete task we get the following error: error MSB3061: Unable to delete file "c:\Build\TeamProjectName\BuildName\BuildType\..\Sources\Or ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Missile Commandeer Game (including Source) - Beta 2

  First XNA game...done!  It's an old school missile commander clone (only its CommandeEr, like pirates...ARRRR!!!).  I spent extra time to maintain the original "cutting edge" graphics to make it a true classic.  Check it out... (I just added the screenshots, game and source code to my website) Click here for the game    Improvements to come: - MIRV missiles - Extra lives - High scores - suggestions Nice update, I especially like the MIRVs. I haven't played it much but my top score is 16440 on level 18.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Mouse Funtions Help

  I'm developing a program that, when you move the mouse, returns the x,y coordinates of the mouse into the text of two labels placed in the main form. problem is i have no idea how to do that, i have it set you when you move the window it does it but that really voids the purpose of me making it in my opinion. any light shed here would be most appreciated. thanks in advance to everyone, and thanks to all whove help me so far on other projects, without whome would not have been possible.

• Software Development for Windows Vista A basic question about WF, plz help me

  Hello, I have been learning Windows WF recently. But I've got a big block at the beginning. I want to develop an overtime management system. And it’s a long flow system,I think. I create 2 projects. One is a web project, the other is Squence Workflow Library project. My expectation is: 1. One user logs in this system and submit his overtime application in apply.aspx. 2. System sends a mail to the user's supervisor, in which is a message and a url which links to audit.aspx flowid= . 3. The supervisor receives the mail and clicks the link, by which he logs in the system and finds this application according to flowid And …. … My question is how to keep the workflow running in the memory. I think when I access this system, the workflow instan ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to determine if a form IsDirty

  Let's say you have a form with a bunch of text boxes bound to a binding source. The form also has a "Save" button which you want enabled only if the user has made changes. The Save button will call bindingSource.EndEdit() and will then instruct the dataset to update the database. Other than catching the text control's EditValueChanged event, is there a simpler way that applies to the whole form It would be nice if the binding source had a IsDirty property that is set to true prior to the EndEdit(). Hi Gavin Thank you for your input. Based on the referenced article, the event handler on each control seems to be the only solution. Jim ...Show All

• Visual C# SS2K5 Express Connection with VS2K5 C# Express

  I'm working on an XP (home edition) box and have successfully installed SS2K5 Express and VS2K5 C# Express. In C# I've written the code to access the pubs DB that I attached in SS2K5 Express however, on the Open() function of the connection object I get an error that reads in part, ".... under the default settings Sql Server does not allow remote connections..." A quick check of the connection properties of SS2K5 Express shows the checkbox "Allow remote connections to this server" checked. I've uninstalled and reinstalled SS2K5 Express (giving it a different name on the 2nd install) without success. Any ideas Ed.

• SQL Server Calling an SSIS package from a Service Broker Queue

  Posted the same message to the Service Broker forum. But the board is neither responsive nor active. So I am trying this forum. Hope someone can help. I would like to call an SSIS package from a Service Broker Queue. There is one way that I am aware of - Using xp_cmdshell from within an activation stored procedure and using DTEXEC. Is there a more elegant way of executing an SSIS package from within SSB Also, I am not interested in writing a .NET external activator to process my messages in the queue. I would like this operation to be strictly database oriented. Having said this, I am also trying to avoid triggers processing the messages in the queue. Thank you! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Other version is already installed

  I get this error message running setup created by VS 2005 Setup and Deployment project. Setup asks to remove old version of the program and install new one after this. What can I change in the setup project to prevent this - I want to update existing application without removing it. I tried to set RemovePreviousVersions to true, change UpgradeCode - this doesn't help. After Phil's helpfull direction, here is what I found in experimentation .... It seems a good idea to keep the setup project version the same as the application version. However, I found they are incompatible with each other! The application version requires a format of 1.0.0.0, and will not let you leave off any of those segmen ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Accessing the updated power toys when installed using the .msi

  Hi, Perhaps I missed it, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation that indicates how to access the command line power toys after they are installed using the msi package. I had to do a search on my c: and d: program files folders for tfpt.exe to figure out where it installed to. I would consider modifying the installer to add a shortcut to the start menu that opens a command line with a path setting that points to the installation directory for the power toys. At the very least, some text on the download page that specifies that the power toys install to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server Power Toys" would do the trick. Users shouldn't have to search their own hard drive to find the app they just installed! ...Show All
