• Visual C# Drag over TrayIcon

  I need a help with my project . I need to implement that when I drag over TrayIcon a file with mouse that TryIcon of the form maximize the form .. Please help ..... And what Brendan is saying is that this is very non-standard functionality. You should try to conform your application to accepted Windows standards so that it is intuitive to your users. Dragging something over a tray icon is not intuitive. I'm not even sure its possible, even using Win32 API's. So again, why are you trying to do this Maybe if you explain the motivation behind this requirement, we can help you figure out a better way to achieve your goal. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do you develop team build scripts?

  I must have missed something here, how do you actually develop your team build scripts I have my basic Team build file created in the browser, but as soon as I want to add and change it it appears that I have to edit the file, save, checkin, run the team build from the server, wait for it to do its build and then find out I have a typo or missed somethign out. I tried running it locally but dont seem to get the same set of events and I believe this is due to settings such as IsDesktopBuild being different when I run locally using MSBuild. How do I go about actually developing my Team Build script without the whole checkin / run remote cycle thanks for any help Aaron thanks very much for the an ...Show All
