• Windows Live Developer Forums Microsoft takes down Chinese blogger

  To Microsoft, Because of your brutal censorship on the blog called MRANTI (http://spaces.msn.com/members/mranti/), I decide to stop using MSN Spaces and will do my best to persuade others not to use it until you stop behaving like a secret police of the Chinese detector. http://rconversation.blogs.com/rconversation/2006/01/microsoft_takes.html I think microsoft is already very good to those people "better that YAHOO" Yahoo Hong Kong Co. give the deep information to China goverment and the press now in jail for ten years, but as I know microsoft did't give the deep information to China.

• Visual Studio Team System Call unit test from Build

  We are using MSbuild to build all the csproj files ( we do not want to use .sln file) . What happens is the RunTest target is running before the actual compilation happens and as a result of this all the unit test fail because the assemblies are not yet built. We need a way where-in we should be able to compile all the csproj and after the compilation is done we need to call the RunTest target. Any idea how to do this Note : we need to compile all the assemblies only project by project and not entire sln ( Solution file) at one shot. How are you using MSBuild to build the csproj files Did you add the csproj files directly to the <SolutionToBuild> item group in TfsBuild.proj, or are yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Complex Business Objects

  I have a problem with my report. My desire is to create a report using a complex business object like this: Object +--ID +--Customer (this is an object) +--CustomerID +--CustomerName +--Items (this is a collection of objects) +--Item0 +--Item.ID +--Item1 +--Item.ID Is it possible to create a report with an header (containing ObjectId and CustomerName), and a document detail (containing the list of items) I have already seen the samples on gotreportviewer site, and I tried to use nested data regions (the recommended approach) but with spare results. Can someone help me Thanks manu I seen this example but my object is more complex. I have problems to display data related to customer objec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can an entire process template be imported to an existing team project

  Pretty much the name says it all. Is there a mechanism by which an entire process template can be imported into an existing team project That makes perfect sense. That's a great way to think of it. The template is just that 'A template', 'A Factory' the produced team project incarnation could be any form after the fact. ...Show All

• SQL Server Opening a URL in reporting services 2005 opens whatever IE window

  How do I get reporting services 2005 to open a new IE window when touching a URL. Otherwise it grabs whatever one is open (not any order) which writes over what I was viewing. This is extremely frustrating. Our company uses LOTUS notes sametime as a netmeeting software which uses IE and it keeps choosing that window and "knocking" me out of the meeting. What can I do One thing that might work is unchecking the "Reuse windows for launching shortcuts" option under "Browsing" section located on the "Advanced" tab of IE's Internet Options. The down-side to this fix is that it only affects your user profile. This fix would have to be performed for each user's profile. I' ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Dialog background won't erase.

  I have a dialog the I have created in the resources. In this dialog I create some dynamic child windows like this: m_pSuperTR1Ctrl->CreateEx(0,L"STATIC",L"", WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|SS_CENTER, ctrlTr1Rect, this,1240); then I m_pSuperTR2Ctrl->ShowWindow(SW_SHOWNORMAL); and m_pSuperTR2Ctrl->ShowWindow(SW_HIDE); but they don't hide, it looks like they become part of the background and if an original control on the dialog updates then that part of the dialog updates leaving fragments of the dynamic control visible. How do I get the dialog background to refresh Thanks, Hi, I can't see the behaviour that you have mentioned here with the amount of i ...Show All

• SQL Server replication/database mirroring

  After reading about it, i'm still confused. Is replication and database mirroring the same they seem to accomplish the same thing. No they are not the same. They are different technologies to attain high availability. While in Replication, the subscriber is available for querying and for reporting purposes, the mirrored DB is inaccessible. You can however create a snapshot of the mirror and use the snapshot Db which is in read only mode. Check out BOL for more differences. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) net.tcp bindings not working while wsHttp do?

  Hi,     Any help on this it would be greatly appreciated. J Here’s the deal: I’m using the beta 2 version of Indigo. I have a service A that calls a service B. Service B then calls service A before answering back to A. I have a client app (console app) . I’m using net.tcp bindings. With my client app using one thread I can send about 500 requests to my service and everything’s fine. Everything is fine until I use six threads (It works just fine until 4 threads). After that I start getting this Exception in the client (calling the service A): The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an unde ...Show All

• Visual C# Getting shortcut properties

  Is it possible to get the values of properties from a shortcut that launched an application I've created a shortcut for an application and after right clicking on it and selecting "properties" I can see there are several items in the "shortcut" tab. What I'd like to be able to do is get the value of "Run:" in the application, so I could get it to start either normally or minimised. Is it possible to read these values Thanks, Stu interesting. No It doesnt oass the parameters if the Run was set to a specified property in the drop down list. You can do it through the original approach we had, giving a parameter from the shortcut and acting upon it. I tried doing this ( ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deployment / Setup projects in multilanguages

  I am trying to create some localized builds using the setup project in visual studio 2005. The localize property only has 11 different languages. I need other languages like Dutch. Aslo the French doesn't specify Canada or France. Where do i get more options for the Localization property. I'm using Studio 2005, 8.0.50727.42 Can anyone help me out here Thanks, InstallGuy We've never created additional languages that aren't already included. You can use a tool like Orca to edit the .WID files and localize them yourself, but it is a fairly advanced and tedious process. If you choose to do that, I can give you some more detailed steps. ...Show All

• Visual Studio References info from ProjectNode?

  Hi. I'm building a custom compiler and integrating with VS2005 using the Managed Package Framework classes. I'm trying to get Intellisense to work, but I need the references from my custom project for type resolution. The ParseRequest object passed to my override of LanguageService.ParseSource() doesn't have any project info, though with some help from the newsgroups, from DTE I was able to retrieve my project instance, which is derived from ProjectNode. Now, however, I can't figure out how to get the references out of ProjectNode. There seems to be several methods for managing references (like AddReference()), but nothing to get a list of references. The project file does get updated when I add a reference, and MSBuild does all of the r ...Show All
