• Visual Studio Defining custom multiplicities

  Hi all I need to define an embedding relationship between ClassA and ClassB that has a multiplicity 0..3, so that ClassA cannot contain more than 3 ClassB instances. It seems like this is not possible (I am using the June CTP). I can only select the predefined multiplicities, but not define one myself. Is this so, or is there a way to define other multiplicities I could solve the problem by setting up a rule restraining the number of ClassB instances to 3, but this doesn’t seem like an optimal solution since the multiplicity would not be visible when studying the domain model. Thanks, Louise The way I like to think of connection builders (which are a bit abstract) is that they're ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Installing TFS with the default web site on a port other than 80

  Hi, I'm working on an install of TFS on a an exisiting server where we've moved the default web site (along with Reporting Services and SharePoint) away from port 80. Is there an easy way to get the TFS install to work in this situation, or would it be simpler to move these sites back to port 80 for the install then reconfigure everything afterwards I've found some references on the internet to doing the latter, although these were mostly on the personal weblogs of sysadmins - so far I've not found any "official" documentation or guidance on doing any of this. Any pointers or advice gratefully received. I'll be experiementing in the meantime so if I come up with a working solution I'll post it in this thread. Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Creating reports with temp tables

  Hi, I have created a new datasource that runs a stored procedure. The stored procedure uses a temp table and returns the contents of the temp table. When I add the stored procedure to the datasources window it cannot figure out the column names of the temp table. I can preview the data from VS2005 and it works fine. However when designing the local report I have no fields to drag on to the form. I choose Report - Report DataSources and pointed to the dataset of the stored procedure. I dropped a text box on the report and manually added Fields!DepartmentName.Value which I know is one of the column names, but that produces the error "The Value expression for the textbox ‘textbox1’ refers to the field ‘departmentName’.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How can I discover /access a UI control from within the object to which it is bound?

  I implement an object and declare it as an object data provider. < ObjectDataProvider x:Key = " PreOpen " ObjectType = " {x:Type src:PreOpenSetting} " /> I then bind a checkbox to it like so <CheckBox Name="preOpenCheckBox" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Content="Pre-Open"> <CheckBox.IsChecked> <Binding Path="PreOpen" Source="{StaticResource PreOpen}"> </Binding> </CheckBox.IsChecked> During initialize component the object is created and the checkbox is properly set to the value that it exposes. All is good, but there are circumstances where I need to modify the control itself based on lo ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite Collision Detection

  I have a 2D game which I wrote some simple collision detection for, which works like the bounding box example. It detects collisions very well, the problem I am having is moving the objects back so that they are not overlapping. They move 10 pixels a move, so when they collide, they overlap. I want to be able to detect a collision, and move the object that caused the collision back to the point just before they intercept, i.e. not the last position, but somewhere inbetween the last move and this one where the two do not intersect. I hope that makes sense. S Hughes (Clarity Consulting www.claritycon.com) Do you have the link Having a little trouble finding the exact article, although I found some useful ...Show All

• .NET Development Intelligent XML/HTML Parsing: Firefox/Netscape Bookmarks.html Format

  Hi, I have a question on how to parse/edit an html file with a specific format. I'm talking about the Firefox/Netscape's bookmarks.html format. Is there an easy way to write new bookmarks (essentially link and text in according to specified spec) to this file format I'm thinking is there a way to convert this format into an XML object in the .NET XML object format and manipulate it that way Please give me any thoughts you have on this specific problem, or the general problem at large. Thanks. Jeff, The exported bookmarks file that firefox creates is not a valid xml. If you examine the file it has <DT> tag before each bookmark, but this tag is not closed after the bookmark link.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Struggling with svcutil

  hi I have several services in my solution. There is multiple data classes that get shared across these services. When I try to use svcutil against several of my services at the same time, the proxy that's spit out, in addition to many parsing errors, does not handle the namespaces well, and there just seems to be an abundance of problems getting the different service proxies to play nice. I tried using the namespace switch, but it didn't like the following: svcutil [service1] [service2] /out: myproxy.cs /namespace: Value.Value.Val The svcutil chokes on the namespace. I've resorted to using WSDL to build the proxies, and that seems to work fine. But the problem there is that the /sharetypes switch doesn't seem to work wit ...Show All
