• Visual Studio Team System Confused by subscription options

  I manage a small department of developers and testers.  I want to acquire an MSDN subscription for each of the developers so at the very least I need an MSDN Professional subscription but I would like to get the Team edition of Visual Studio.  What I am uncertain of is if I get the team suite, does it include the team foundation server or do we have to purchase the Team Foundation Server seperately Also, all three developers are on equal level with each other in performing all functions of an architect, developer and DBA.   What should I get then   The Architect, Developer or database version of Visual studio should I get for them Furthermore, even though the team suite has three VS editio ...Show All

• Visual C++ adding a watchpoint (breaking when a variable changes)

  How is it possible to add a watchpoint in Visual Studio. A watchpoint is basically a conditional breakpoint that is _not tied to a codeline_. What I want to be able to do is to break whenever someone changes a particluar variable. There seems to be two options: "Watch" a variable and see for myself if/when it ever changes. This is slow, and doesn't really work if you're debugging event/time critical bugs. Debug->New Breakpoint->New Data Breakpoint. This seems to be what I want, but the menu option is always disabled (even when the debugger is running). So how do I do it (I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition) espen Run your application under debugger. Then Debug>W ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Fidalgo vs Orcas

  I'm still a bit confused about Fidalgo (WPF add-in for Visual Studio 2005) vs Orcas (forthcoming new version of Visual Studio). Particularly as Fidalgo is described as "Orcas" .NET Framework 3.0 Development Tools: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=935AABF9-D1D0-4FC9-B443-877D8EA6EAB8&displaylang=en Will there ever be a final release of Fidalgo for VS 2005 or is this really a sort-of preview of Orcas Tim Yes, no offense meant. We chose the name because to get from Whidbey (VS 2005) to "Orcas", you could take a ferry from Anacortes (on Fidalgo). Did we ruin Fidalgo's chances for future naming choices...I don't think so - for some reason the VS te ...Show All

• Windows Forms ListBox drag and drop

  Hi, I'm trying to implement the drag and drop event on a ListBox. What I want to do is to drag an item to another location within the same ListBox and drop it there. I'm wondering if there is a way to display a dotted line at the index the item is dragged into at DragEnter, like many windows applications do. Thanks. Something that used to be on the .NET 1.1 Windows Forms FAQ (See the OnDrawOver method): namespace DragDrop { using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Data; /// <summary> /// Summary description for Form1. /// </summary> public class Fo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development ActiveSync 4.2 - No option to combine only replace?

  Hello, I am having a problem of synching between my computer and my Pocket PC (HP iPAQ 6945) with ActiveSync. When I was using ActiveSync 3.8, I was able to see and select an option to combine information from both the Pocket PC and the computer. Now, after upgrading to 4.2, I only get the option of replace. I am only able to replace the data on the computer with the data on the Pocket PC or vice-versa. I have searched around for the solution to this but I simply have not found it yet. Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thanks! This forum is smart device development related. Since your question is not related to smart device development, it's off topic here.

• Gadgets radio form buttons?

  simplest way to do this settings box does this: 2 radio buttons so that you either select optionA or optionB on click OK settings are saved Gadget does this: upon closing of settings dialog box gadget updates to the settings you entered via funtions such as function optionCheck() { IF OptionA == "true" do this { some more stuff } Else { do this instead } } basically what I would like to do is have the settings dialog box open with 2 radio button options which are then saved so that I can then have the gadget can a function that checks the settings and changes itself accordingly. This should be really simple but for some reason I just can't get it, actually as you can ...Show All
