• Visual Studio Team System Web analytics tool interfering with webtest execution

  Our product currently uses Instadia as a web analytics tool. When I run webtests, the call to Instadia is invoked just after the login. Unfortunately, the webtest does not recognize the call, resulting in the test failing. I don’t see anywhere in the test code where I can instruct the test to ignore the call. The use of the Fiddler tool doesn’t give me anything either. I’ve tried to configure a proxy server per the response recommendation to no avail. Has anyone else seen this interaction between webtests and a web tracking tool Here’s the call: http://se1.instadia.net/cgi-bin/gather 0d012r5&Trucks+Dealer+Portal+%3a+TDP+Dual+US+English+%3a+VTC&http://xnet.volvo.com/tdp/dual-us/en-du/home.htm&http://xnet. ...Show All

• Visual C# ASP.NET User Control Events

  I've got a user control problem thats been bugging me for a while now. Here's the breakdown: I've got a user control (productBucket) which contains a product name, picture and button for adding that particular item to a users shopping cart. These "productBuckets" are added dynamically based on the number of available products returned from a DB query. How can I wire up the buttons of each bucket (which don't exist until runtime) to fire OnClick and call the same event where I would then be able to get the productID from the buttonID and process appropriately for each item I've started down the road of delegates a couple of times thinking that was the answer, but could never get the right result. Am I close or out in left fiel ...Show All

  I have to come up with a SSIS package to tranform data from oracle database to our sql server database.

If you need to run the package periodically (which I assumed), you need to be careful. If you generate ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Initiate synchronization from device

  I have written a C# application for Windows CE, VS2005. What I want to do is to transfer files from the Device to the Desktop PC. It has to be done exactly when I want it to, and I need to know that the sync went alright before my app continue to run. I have looked at "repllog.exe /remote" but it is dependant on the customer clicking the sync button on that dialog window, and not everywhere else (like disconnect). Also, it is one extra step to do for the customer, which should have been done automatically. I also tried importing the rapi.dll from the application on the device like this: [ DllImport ( "rapi.dll" )] public static extern void CeRapiInit(); When I call the function CeRapiInit at ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Force Modal to Refresh?

  IE6. I have instanced a modal ("popup") window without toolbar, statusbar, etc. I am not always sure that the content is being pulled down from the server - some clients get (locally) cached things, others do not. Is there a way to pass parameters to a modal popup so the client always fetches the content from the server Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Background Worker Cross Thread Help

  I hate spammers so much so that I decided to write a program that extracts all the IP addresses, actually the first 15 characters of every line in my log. Well I have used a Background worker before, to copy and move files. That worked so nicely too, but from what I read, Background Workers don't like the GUIs like textboxes. Is there away around this Here's my code for the Cross Thread Error: Friend WithEvents FetchIP As BackgroundWorker = New System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker() Private Sub IPSettingsToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles IPSettingsToolStripMenuItem.Click Me.FetchIP.RunWorkerAsync() End Sub Private Sub FetchIP_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVa ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. "SPRITE TEXTURE MAP" I need some directions/suggestions

  Hi to everyone! and an Amazing 2007! STATUS: I'm working with an effect to damage the armors, itens and etc from my game characters I did notice that the "easy" way to do this was have 2 textures, one to the default difuse channel and another with the holes and scratches overlayed above the Difuse one with alpha channels to "damage" just some areas from the equipment model surface. Since the .X exporters collapse the material maps inside 3ds MAX, I can't use the Composite MAP, and the export to .fx function in Material Editor don't accept any map than not a simple bitmap to this, what lead me to write a HLSL shader to do the texture overlay. I already got one texture above another with different map channels. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataTable Acts As Intermediator For DataGridView

  I have one DataGridViewand i have defined the columns for this datagridview but i don't specify the DataSource for this DataGridView. As a result, it is just a merely DataGridView with columns.   After that, i insert a data by using DataGridView1.Items(0,0).Value="data" and however one of the columns is check box column, if the user tick on it, another row will be created.   I tried to put this DataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRow=False after the code of inserting the data then the data cannot be added.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Questions for a potential newbie

  I am looking into automation for testing purposes at a company that I just started working for. Since one of our applications is .NET, I wasn't sure how to automate the GUI until I found this forum. However, some questions/concerns have come up via various co-workers. First is the myth that .NET applications can't be automated. Next Wednesday I have to convince some other technical co-workers that it can (unless I'm mistaken). Also the concern came up that the developers will have to change their code to add Accessibility Functions in order to automate. I'm still trying to figure out if that's true or not, from what I've gathered so far, it doesn't seem like they need to change anything if they're using standard controls (compared to custo ...Show All
