• Visual Studio Team System TF30059: Fatal Error while initializing web service

  Hi, I got the following error message. " TF31001: Team Foundation cannot retrieve the list of team projects from Team Foundation Server <server name>.

• SQL Server Creating an Expression to Modify a Date Field

  In my Derived Column Transformation Editor I have something like this: DAY([Schedule]) + MONTH([Schedule]) + YEAR([Schedule]) where [Schedule] is a database timestamp field from a OLEDB Datasource. I want to produce a string something like: "DD/MM/YYYY" using the expression above, I get something really wierd like "1905-07-21 00:00:00" Help much appreciated! One quick suggestion... you might want to change that last portion to have 3 zeros in the string literal, though you might never see a 1 or 2 digit year anyway, so it may not matter: RIGHT("000" + (DT_WSTR,4)YEAR(Schedule),4) ...Show All

• Visual Basic Migrating DAO connection that uses a password with non-printable characters in it

  I'm able to open a password protected MS Access 97 db with the code below: DAO.Database. OpenDatabase(sPath, False, False, ";pwd=" & sDBPwd) where sDBPwd has embedded control characters in it. Specifically sDBPwd uses vbCRLF as part of it's string. Can anyone tell me how to embed control characters in a password string in ADO.NET Thank you for the hints.  I'm still not able to connect to the Access 97 db. My password specifically looks like:  sDBPwd = ControlChars.CrLf & Chr(7) & "teddyBear" & Chr(4) & Chr(16) & Chr(23) My connection string is: sConn = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Test\Database\mytest.mdb ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bind objectdatasource to xmlschema

  Hello and Happy new year! I have a Dataset created from a xml schema (with the xsd tool). I would like to use this dataset as an objectdatasource for a gridview. The data will come from a xml file so I choose the readxml(string fileName) method for the select method (in the wizard). But the schema is not recognized so I can't edit the columns properly in the gridview. I think this is because the readxml method returns a XmlReadMode object instead of a strong typed datatable. Is there a workaroud for this Thank You Hi, Pierre Christophe It seems that you're using ASP.NET as you metioned the GridView which is a control of ASP.NET, but for databinding, there's comparability more or less between WinForm and Web Form, ...Show All

• Smart Device Development IR Command...

  Hello, I need to make a program that receives a command from an infrared device... like a remote controller... is there any way of accomplish this can someone show me the way thanks... Hi That depends on various aspects like the way the IR device transmits its data (Serial over IR, IrDA...), the Windows Mobile Device you're using. Windows Mobile (and the underlaying Windows CE OS) supports 3 ways to access the IR port: IrDA Sockets: a managed API is available in System.Net.Sockets. IrDAClient (System.Net.IrDA.dll) IrCOMM (COM emulation over IrDA): use the .NET CF 2.0 SerialPort class to use this techology More infos are available in the MSDN library under http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Does VSTS support Dynamic data binding ?

  I am facing the problem: How can I bind dynamically generated Product ID to form post parameter from db with condition that this productID was previuoslly generated by company XX Thanks Casik What you'd want to do is create a view in the database that puts all the data for a virtual user on a single row. Each row in the view would then represent a virtual user. Our databinding will pick a different row automatically for each virtual user. Alternatively, you could use standard ADO.NET to read directly from your database and grab the info you need right at the start of your tests. You could do this in a coded web test or by creating a WebTestPlugin. You could add all the data you need to th ...Show All

• Visual C# foreach where

  Is there anyway to specify the types of items to get when you iterate through a collection with foreach. Right now you have to do like this foreach ( UIElement b in maincanvas.Children) { if (b is Bomb ) (b as Bomb ).Move(); } Another way is this: foreach ( Bomb b in maincanvas.Children) { if (b ! = null ) b .Move(); } I think both ways are very inconvenient, I want to do something like this. Just like when you specify generic objects: foreach ( Bomb b in maincanvas.Children where b : Bomb ) b .Move(); Is there any similar syntax that does what the above snippet do I know the snippe ...Show All

• Visual C# How to go to a specific line of text file programmatically?

  Hi, I am working with a text file, that contains a hexadecimal character. I need to go to a specific line and certain position, get this character, assign it to a string(or other datatype), remove it, then save the text file. What object.method I can use in C#.net Thank you very much! No there isn't one line way for that. You can also use different solution. Read the whole file in to string. Then split the string lines using Split method to get string[] array. Then you can access that array by index which is the row number. This will be efficient if you have small file. ...Show All
