• Visual Studio Team System Merging From Branch to Branch

  I have the following TFS source control layout: $/Main/ $/Release 1.0.0.0 $/Release 1.1.0.0 $/Release 1.2.0.0 ... etc Let's say I have a bug fix for version 1.0.0.0. I write the bug fix and check the code directly into $/Release 1.0.0.0. I can label this changeset as version 1.0.0.1 or branch it again or whatever. Let's say this particular bug applies to all releases and to my current Main. I can easily merge the change from $/Release 1.0.0.0 back into $/Main. No problem. But what if I want to merge that same change into 1.1.0.0 and 1.2.0.0 As far as I can tell, I first need to merge the change into $/Main and then back out to the various release branches. There is no option to do a merge from one branch directly in ...Show All

• Visual C# Best way to update a class when modifying a member

  Hi, I have a UserControl derived class containing a Label, which I would like to be updated every time a public string on the class is modified. For this, I created accessors for the public string, in this way: public class MyControl : UserControl { private Label _label; private string _string; public string MyString { get {return _string; } set {_string = value; _label.Text = value + " " + value; /* do something fancy with the new value */} } /* ... */ } What I dislike of this approach is that I have the feeling of having duplicated the string inside my class. I am not sure if this is accurate, as I am new to C# development. Anyway, is there any other way to update elements of a class when a member is mo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Why does my app try to connect to the internet?

  This was really strange. After finishing my application (first one in vb.net) I ran it and for some strange reason it tried to open a port (1147) and according to my firewall it was listening not sending. I found this very strange because my application doesn't contain any code what so ever that would be able connect to the internet. I even tried a simpler application with just a form and a button and that one also tried to open up a port. When i blocked the program from trying to listen, it crashed giving me this error report.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF Text blurry

  Hi, I'm wondering if this is a known problem: I have a multi monitor setup and whenever I move a WPF window from one screen to the other the text becomes totally blurred. Also, moving the window across to the other screens is very slow. Sometimes, this blurry text effect also appears on the main monitor, for example when I expand a combo box, etc. Anybody knows what's going on there Thanks, Tom RE: performance of multi-adapter, multi-monitor system Tom and I followed up offline, I have been unable to repro the performance issue with a similar multi-monitor-multi-adapter-multi-IHV configuration.

• .NET Development How to know what exceptions a method can throw?

  I was reading in some other posts that you only have to catch known exceptions. And that it is not allowed to catch Exception like this: private void CheckCancelEntryWeighingRecords() { try { mis.Transfer(data.CsvData); //Call to a third party dll } catch (Exception ex) { LogError("Error occured in CheckCancelEntryWeighingRecords", ex); } } How can I know what exceptions a method can throw So that i can decide on which situation i can recover and on which not I know that the Framework.NET has documented the most exceptions. But what about third party dll's with bad of no documentation I also know i could use reflector to look what the possible exceptions a ...Show All

  Is there a code sample on spawning a WMI instance using C# I have found samples using VBScripting and C++ but I need C# info. right click on your project - go to add reference and select System.Management.

• Visual C# Shutdown.exe problems

  Process shutdown = new Process(); shutdown.StartInfo.FileName = "C:/WINDOWS/System32/Shutdown.exe"; shutdown.StartInfo.Arguments = "-s -f -t 20 -m \\deruu"; shutdown.Start(); I can get it to log me out using argument -l only, but with that I only get a "Frozen" cmd window titled "Shutdown.exe" and nothing happens. my apologies, seems to be a typo for GetFolder, it should be Environment.GetFolderPath. And again, my apologies, the Process class does not take the overload but it should have been the ProcessStartInfo class. So even doing it this way shouldnt make much difference: ProcessStartInfo thePSI = new ProcessStartInfo("shutdown.exe"); thePSI. ...Show All
