• Visual Studio Team System Please Help With Setting Up VS2005 Team Edition for Software Developers

  So, I can assume that I am missing something. I have VS 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers, but I don't know how to set it up to where I can actually create a Team Project. Is there a how-to manual on just setting it up to where developers can share a project and check-in/check-out Do I need to set up something else in addition to just installing VS2005 Team Edition for Software Developers Thanks. You need to install the Team Foundation client a.k.a Team Explorer. See the chapter "Overview of Installing Team Explorer" in Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Installation Guide .

• Visual Studio Express Editions Seems simple enough shareing out a remote directory in visual basic code.

• Visual Basic HScroll

  In switching from VB6 to VB2005, the Scroll bars have apparently changed. The Scroll part works, so I can change a program parameter based on the position of the cursor of the Scrollbar (or using Mouse clicks). I then want to apply the new value, but only at the end of the Scrolling. There is no "MouseUp" available for the HScroll. The "Mouse hover" does work, but it causes unwanted events. Is there a way (after dragging the cursor) to apply the final value - after releasing the cursor I can do it by pressing another button, but that is too late for some cases. Also, is there a way to change the backcolor and forecolor of Scollbars Then the scroll event should be able to take care of that for you... Private ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Urgent: Scheduling service in Sharepoint workflows

  Hi, Hosting a workflow in sharepoint yields in major scheduling service issue. The manual scheduler service can't be controled and thus the delay activity in turn isn't feasible. A possible walkaround was to create a task with a duedate. A windows service will run on timely basis and checks all the tasks with expiry date and updates them. In theory, updating a task will cause the workflow to trigger the OnTaskChanged method, but in practise, this wasn't the result. When this task is updated, the workflow isn't affected, whereas when manually updating the task an error occurs "event isn't received". The reason is due to the fact that the updated workflow in the windows service doesn't run the scheduler and as aresult, the workf ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using VB6 on Vista

  Is VB6 support on Vista as a development language I have a VB6 application (which is pretty big), but when I come to compile it on Vista RC2 is fails to register all the activeX dlls that are build as part of the application. I did manage to get round it, but only by running VB6 as Administrator. In a day to day dev environment I don't want to do this every time. I am a local admin so why doesn't this allow VB to register my dlls. Does this behavior have something to do with UAC Thanks for your help Graham Hi. Yes, I've tried that. However when I run the IDE with that checkmark checked, none of the OCX's are found to be registered. The only way I can actually get the IDE to start nor ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiler Warning ""At least one of the arguments for ... can not be marshaled"

  Hi, I keep getting compilier warnings like this: Warning 12 At least one of the arguments for 'COWSplineCalc.CalcSpline' cannot be marshaled by the runtime marshaler. Such arguments will therefore be passed as a pointer and may require unsafe code to manipulate. The warnings started after I moved the project to VS2005 running under Vista. I've found no documentation on the warning. Can I suppress it somehow Any input would be appreciated. Thanks. Mikhail The problem is that that warning doesn't have a number... I can not suppress it using pragma. Of course I can suppress all warnings, but it's a bad-bad idea. (sorry, in my message "12" was just the count number (I also ...Show All
