• Visual Studio Team System tfpt treediff - I'm missing "Get specific version..."

  Hi, Using the treediff feature in tfpt, could often be done with the purpose of detecting files, deleted by mistake in the local folder. This is nicely detected, but to get the missing file from the server, "Get latest" isn't enough - you have to "Get specific version..." and force the get from the server. It would be nice to have this command in the treediff view! Regards, Carsten Upon further investigation, we feel that Get Specific Version is nice to have but Get Latest Version is much more often used. In the spirit of keeping TreeDiff simple, we'll refer that functionality back to the Source Control Explorer. Thank you for your feedback. -Tan ...Show All

• .NET Development Reading from DataGrid and save the Data into Access

  Hi there, I have a slight problem here which is that i have a project that needs to convert the data from Excel file to Access db so i have wrote the code to read the Excel sheet to a DataGrid and it works fine but now i need to get that data back and save it into Access db, so what i need to do to get this done exactly thanks H.Saber Here are some links. They show samples with the SQL Server, but you will see the idea. Basically it will be the same code except you need to use OldebProvider instead of SqlClient http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308507/en-us http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310347/en-us ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Beta2: 3D Object faces not appearing with CullMode=None

  CullMode is set to none, but faces are not being shown on the same object (simple cube), but you can see the object behind it just fine due to the transparent texture. Hard to explain, but these should help. I can't see any reason that some of the faces would just not appear with culling off. I hope someone can see a simple resolution here, or if it's a bug. Screenshot: http://www.cybra.net/gd/images/Beta2-SCProblem.jpg Project: http://www.cybra.net/gd/TransTest.zip Great, all the faces appear now with those two set to false. The rendering is still not quite correct but it'll be close enough for now. (Sometimes faces behind will not be overlaid by the transparent texture of the face in front.) ...Show All

Currently i am working on Graphics application where i need to have CrossHairs for my application which needs to be drawn on panel.

• Visual Studio Team System Extending Team Portal to have calendar...

  Hello, I'd like to try to extend a team portal to add a Calendar to the portal.  I thought there would be some type of Web part that did this i.e. mycalendar.  To my dismay I have not found that or any other web part that I could use.  My question is: Is there a calendar available for the Team Portals   If so, where can I find this calendar Thanks a million in advance. BJHop FYI we are using Conchango's Scrum for TFS process template. Dennis, Thanks again for your quick reply. Once again I do not have an Events field under lists.

• Visual Studio Team System Compare and Sync functions from SSMS

  Is there a proposal to integrate the Comparison and Synchronization functionalities in the SQL Server Management Studio This will help the DBAs work with a single interface. If yes, when can we expect the same When it comes, will there be a price attached to it Appreciate your response. I don't think so. If Schema and Data Compare are included in SSMS and the project accessibility into all versions of VS (even just VS Team Editions) as has been heavily requested and has much more reason to be done, then what is left for Data Dude The original premise of Data Dude was to move database development out of SSMS into a developing environment with project and source control. The original premise of all Team ...Show All

• Visual Basic Proper way to refresh a form

  I have a program that process big databases, and meanwhile, displays some status output. All goes inside the typical While Not srInput.EndOfStream When i was working with visual 6, a me.refresh inside this loop would update all the form info, but, if i try to do so now, the app gets really slow, so i have to find another way..... what i do now is to refresh every 100 lines are processed, but i still dont like it... Does anybody know how to refresh the form in a proper way Thanks I would put the doevents in a timer event rather than a certain number of iterations.   This way you can ensure that the UI is updated during these looping processes - even x number of milliseconds.  &nb ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA and its runtime libraries

  I haven't heard anything on the runtime files that would be needed to fully execute a XNA program, at least, officially. Managed DirectX caused three runtime files before which I think stopped a ton of programs from being released. Little Timmy wanted to show his friend a Pong game that he wrote, but he needed the .NET framework installed, the Managed DirectX files and the DirectX runtime itself. Add each one up and it was roughly an extra 80mb (I'm guessing). Downloading the games from the web was easy, but executing them had requirements like "you have to download this, this and this." I would have skipped to another game. Is this going to be the same issue with XNA How does the installation process differ ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot Install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition - Configuration Tools Only

  I have tried several times to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (most recently from MSDN Disk 3097.1) I have tried to complete an uninstall before each attempt.

• .NET Development Asyn calls to webservice

  I need to call a couple of web services on the client side. Currently I'm making seperate asyn calls to each of them. My question is 1. Is there a better way to do this. Can I make all the calls within one method and using the same IAsynResult object. 2. If yes, then in this case I 'm assuming I would need to set the AsynWaitHandle to WaitAll. But I only see the waitOne() method and not the others such as WaitAny and WaitAll. I'm on VS 2003 1.1 Thanks, 1. No, an IAsyncResult is specific to an individual method call. It contains specific details such as the async state that was passed into the method, and the underlying implementation of the IAsyncResult interface also may contain details such as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions wider (higher) choosebox

  Hello all, I'm working on a project that would could be "spiffed" up with a choosebox that's wider than the regular choosebox that's offered by VB express As an example: you can expand a textbox by making it multiline I'm not bound to a drop down choosebox, in fact, what would really be great is an object that's sort of like those library background in itunes. You know how in itunes, a bunch of objects are displayed in one page, and you can click on one and it plays the song. I'm wondering if anyone knows either what an object like that is called, or where I can find a DLL that creates something akin to what I'm talking about. Sorry for being so vague! any help would really be greatly appreciated. -Robert sorry, i meant a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Eliminating a control if it binds to null

  I have a series of controls in a Gridview cell that are in a StackPanel binding to various fields on the same object. If one of the controls binds to a field that is null, I would like that control to not get created and all the controls under it to shift up. I've tried two ways, but I'm not very excited about either one. 1. Created a CellTemplate with a DataTrigger that checked the data and set the Visibility to collapsed. This has the right look, but my data is pretty sparse and I would like to only create the controls I really need. 2. Create serveral CellTemplate's. One for each purmutation of controls, and use a template selector. This works great for 2 or 3 controls, but gets out of hand rather quickly as I have to create 2^n t ...Show All
