• Visual Studio Team System Source control plugin not installed or not available err ...

  Hi I have migrated a couple of projects from VSS 2005 to TFS. Everything went well until i tried to open the projects in Visual Studio 2005. I changed the Source Control settings in Tools/Options to Visual Studio Team Foundation Server and a message box appears saying that the "Source control plugin not installed or not available". Or at times this message comes when I open the solution file in Visual Studio. And then it says that the solution is not under source control ... asks to confirm whether to work in Temporary disconnected mode or to permanently remove source control settings ... Is there any source control plug in to be installed to use the TFS source control ... after a migration from Visual Source Safe 2005 or a ...Show All

• Visual C++ A Couple Template Questions

  Hi folks, I have a couple questions about templates. I'm using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition 8.0.50727.762. Is there a reason why this compiles fine: ------------------------------------------------ template <typename T, int I> struct C1 {}; template <template <typename T, int I> class C1> struct C2 {}; int main (int argc, char * argv[]) { C2<C1> TEST; return 0; } ------------------------------------------------ But this does not (replaced class C1 with typename C1): ------------------------------------------------ template <typename T, int I> struct C1 {}; template <template <typename T, int I> typename C1> struct C2 {}; int main (int argc, char * argv[]) { C2&l ...Show All

• Visual Basic using VB SDK with VB.NET

  does someone know if i can use VB SDK with VB.NET maybe a plug in that will help me or i need to use only VB... thanks I think for advise you'll need to be a bit more specific. To write a program to control a different program. I can write a program in VB.NET to control any of the office applications by adding appropriate references and using there object model - no SDK required. I'm not sure what you think you'll get out of the SDK - perhaps if you tell us what you trying to do with sufficient details then we may be able to steer you in the right direction. ...Show All

• SQL Server Can not created Named Calculation...

  I can not seem to create a Named Calculation on a table that I have already created a Named Query on in my data source view. Any idea why this is and if there is a work around for it TIA Wellman Which part doesn't make sense You can view a named query as a SQL view. Just like a SQL view, your SELECT statement can include any valid syntax, including other tables, calling UDF, etc. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Skin weight Transforms and Model Importer

  Hey, where do you guys store the transform matrices for skin weights in the content pipeline It seems that they are merged with the bone matrices before they are passed to the processor. Also, is there any way to extend the .X file importer class There are a lot of situations in which this can be useful. Thanks, but I loaded the vertices from a custom processor to the model (ripped them out before base.process()) and used the model bone matrices to skin it. On rendering, it appeared exactly as if the bone transforms stored in the skinning info were never added (I tested this by taking a model with skinning info such that each vertex only mapped to one bone, and then changed the bone transforms in the ski ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies What's this forum for when there's no SDK?

  i hope i'm missing something. As far as i can gather: there is no SDK/API/Docs yet for WDS3. This means that it's impossible to develop any filters or protocol handlers (or to even know if WDS3 supports custom filters or protocol handlers). So without the ability to develop, what is the "Windows Desktop Search Development" forum for i see people asking questions - like they are developing stuff. i want to develop stuff! How are you developing stuff http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa965362.aspx There's a decent number of code samples, and proper docs. Let us know which parts you see lacking enough depth, and we'll track it for the next release. Thanks for your feedback Gerald ...Show All

• Visual C++ Hidden/Missing FindReplace/FindInFiles dialogs in VC++ 2005?

  My Find/Replace and FindInFiles dialogs have gone missing when working in VC++ 8 (2005). It looks to me like the dialogs get the focus but that they are offscreen somewhere and I have not been able to locate any registry information on the location of those dialogs so that I could bring them back onto the visible portion of my screen. Does anyone have any advice on how to get my dialogs back so I can see them Do I need to resort to reinstalling VC8 Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server Multidimensional grid control for WinForms

  Hello, I have been combing the internet for hours looking for a WinForms grid that can easily bind to a CellSet returned from an ADOMDB.NET query, or raw XML/A, or in any other way data returned from SSAS via an MDX query, and I have come up empty handed. I have found several nice components that do OLAP grids, but they all come with their own OLAP engines and don't natively bind to data already in a multidimensional format. Is it possible there is NO vendor that produces a WinForms control that will allow me to easily display the results of my MDX queries in a custom BI application At this point, I'd even consider using an ActiveX control, but I can't find one of those that does the job either. Certainly I am missing something he ...Show All

• .NET Development 401: Authorization Required

  Hello Forum, Here is something I have been struggling for very long now. I have got a Windows Application which talks to a HTTPS web service. When I run my Windows application in Debug mode, it gives me an error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Authorization Required." Further details include it being something like a WebException.ProtocolError. But, the code works fine as a compiled EXE. Also, if I create a package for this application and then deploy the machine on a machine other than the development machine, it gives an error saying "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send." ########################################################################### ...Show All
