• Visual Studio Team System Folder structure creation in VSTS source control

  Hi Can someone let me know how do I upload an empty folder structure for my projects in VSTS source control. I read somewhere that I need to create blank solutions and then add them to source control to have the desired folder structure.. is the true Is there a easy way as we have in traditional VSS setup just go add folders where n whenever I want Plz help..

• Software Development for Windows Vista Deploying Workflow applications

  Greetings!! I have created a sequential workflow console application which prints HelloWorld. To the same project I added a setup project and created a msi.

• Windows Forms MouseMove in a form

  I'm trying to get the location of the mouse pointer so that i can check whether or not it is within an mdi child, i declared the event handler in the form with this code: private void frmMain_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { bool hit = MDIchild.CheckHit(new Point(e.X,e.Y)); if(hit) MDIchild.createObject(); } CheckHit function within MDIchild public bool CheckHit(point p) { if(this.Bounds.Contains(p)) return true; return false; } the problem is that the event never triggers so I don't even know if CheckHit works...

• SQL Server Replicate column to subscriber - even it if is unchanged in UPDATE statement

  Set publisher database table column to 1. Replicate table to subscriber (column is also 1 on subscriber once it is replicated). Set subscriber database column to 2. Update publisher database column to 1 (even though it is already 1). Change is NOT replicated to subscriber (it stays at 2). This means that replication is comparing the insert statement to its current value in the database. Is there any way to change this behavior We want the the column to replicate to the subscriber. Peng, What a great stored procedure! It turns out that the command that is sent to the distributor for replication only contains the fields that change. For instance: Table has the fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer won't remember my password

  When I first installed Team Explorer (with Visual Studio 2005) it remembered my password.   They make us change our passwords every three days (I'm exaggerating a little).   Once I changed my password, it began prompting me for a username and password every time I started Visual Studio.   There was no "remember my password" checkbox visible in the dialog.   I was forced to reinstall Visual Studio a while back, and after doing so, Team Explorer once again saved my password.   But, yesterday was password change day, and now I'm back to re-entering my username and password every time I start Visual Studio.   What's the deal Where can I find the windows key ring app ...Show All

• Windows Forms GridView and always visible headers

  I have a gridview that has many rows, it's a fixed size and will scroll vertically when the number of entries are too large for the area allotted to it. Is there a way to force the headers to remain at the top regardless of how far down the view you scroll The only other solution I can think of is putting my own labels in, but then I lose the sorting features . Thanks in advance. your assumptions were correct It's not happening for me. the headers go away when scrolling down. Are you using div's at all or any other html stylings ...Show All

• Windows Forms TreeView Levels - Not going deep enough

  Hello all I'm suffering a little with the TreeView control. My problem is I'm wanting to create a dynamic category list that company survey's will be filed into. My database has a table for categories; each with an ID, Name and ParentID (ParentID is null if its a root Category / Node). Also each survey has a category ID it should be filed into. When the categories are pulled from the database I test to see if its got a ParentID, if it doesn't I want to add it as a root node, otherwise I want to find the node it should be a child of at add it to that. There in lies my problem. I can't get the TreeView to find any nodes past layer 1(i.e. Root->SubCategory). I have tried the Nodes.Find method but can't search lower ...Show All

• Smart Device Development TAPI usage

  Hi All Forgive me if this is a silly question – I’m a bit of a novice in this area. I’m trying to write a TAPI monitor that will respond to TAPI events generated by the standard Phone application in a Pocket PC device. All I want to do is build up call statistics so I want to log calls of a specific type, eg international, 0800 etc. I was hoping to use TAPI as a basis of the call monitor – using lineInitializeEx to install a callback function to respond to events. I tried this – with no real success. I basically extracted the callback function from the CeDialer example. The callback didn’t seem to trigger when I placed a call. Can I use TAPI this way or ...Show All
