• Visual Studio Team System Managing permissions

  Is there a way to restrict a user's ability to create, edit and delete labels or branches What I want to do is to have only certain users to have permission to manage labels and branches. Can this be done If you follow Chandru's instructions (linked above) then users will be able to work within predefined trees even when permissions are denied at the root. TFS permissions work just like NTFS: 1) they inherit by default, but you can turn inheritance on & off. 2) deny trumps allow If you follow those rules then it's easy to configure permissions however you want. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development windows CE 6.0 hardware support and feature

• Visual C++ Program just quits

  I'm am just running simple programs right now. For example the hello world code, but i never get to see if it works or not. After it compiles the black window comes up then it just quits. If i put in another command after like cin then the window stays up and i can see the hello world. What can I do to fix this. Little_Dice wrote: If i put std::cin.get(); at the begining of my program it waits to run the program until i hit enter, but when I put it at the end it just ignores it and quits anyway. Make sure you place the cin.get() prior to a return statement, or similar flow of control. If neccessary, place a breakpoint at the cin.get()-call and see if it's even executed. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Other Web Browser support

  Hey guys, Great work on the July CTP samples! I was wondering, is IE7 the only web browser that can invoke InfoCards in CardSpace on the client If so, any way or any plans to invoke from IE6 or FireFox Thanks, Noremac > there should be no reason to have clients on IE6 when IE7 and CardSpace ship Actually there are many. The exact number will be the same number of XP Machines in the coporate environment in the world who may not upgrade to IE7 in the following immediate years. (Standard Operating Envs, Org Policies, blah blah) I believe to help Cardspace reach mainstream, the backward compabitility must be there. The fact that WCF (my biggest love for MS tech since MTS/COM+ 1.0 )and Car ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++/CLI problems/issues

  I have some questions on C++/CLI issue. Let me explain my situation: I have an existing native COM dll that contains my logic. It has been tested and works fine with native C++ client using CoCreateInstance. I would like to add a new logic and notice that BCL has a class that I can use. So I add a new source file and header which I compile with /clr since I need to use one of BCL classes (actually, at this point, it is just an empty shell). When I tried to CoCreateInstance in my native client, it couldn’t create. But if I go back to my COM dll project and take out the /clr in my new source file, it works fine. After some debugging, I found out the problem and have been able to fix the issue. However, I would like to get more detai ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. using XNA Framework with no shader capability display driver???

  I have Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME graphic card with no support for shaders. Is it possible to develop a 3d application with XNA Framework under this condition.When I run a tutorial project I got the message "Both a valid vertex shader and pixel shader (or valid effect) must be set on the device before draw operations may be performed." I am new to XNA concept. Before I was developing with MDX 1.1 and I can develop 3d application with out shader support. So how can do this with XNA...

• Visual Studio Team System Programatically load test results from .trx file?

  Is there a way with the VS2005 SDK to load the results of a trx file I'm writing a custom test results dashboard and would like to get the test results information out of the trx file without having to sift through all of the xml. Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions. First, thanks for replying. I know that TFS has good reporting of test case results but we're currently not using TFS so I was looking to analyse the trx file to obtain the actual test case information such as any stack trace information, etc. The trx files mainly represent web and unit tests as my group doesn't deal with the load side of things. An API that serialized the test result information from a trx file into an easil ...Show All
