• Visual Studio Team System VS2003 with TFS MSSCCI shows the wrong file status

  Hi, I'm using VS.NET 2003 SP1 with TFS MSSCCI provider 1.1. In the Solution Explorer, some of the resx files are shown as "checked out" status (with the red icon). However I don't have anything checked out. It seems to only happen to some of the language resx files (i.e., Form.de.resx and Form.fr.resx), but not regular code .cs files. How do I clear the checkout status in VS.NET Thanks, Heng-yi That should be "...we could NOT repro your scenario...". Both Michal and I tried, but we were unsuccessful in causing the red check glyphs to appear. --Ben Ryan ...Show All

• Visual C# Issue copying to a network share

  I have a windows service that is responsable for copying files to a network drive at certain times. I use the IO.File.Copy() method to do this. everytime I run it with the network path I get this error: The network path was not found. I even tried a network path without spaces (my test share has spaces in the name) which gave the same. the share can be read and written to by everyone with full control to admins. The service runs under the system context. Any suggestions Thanks, Quilnux I know that I "could" do that but, this application is deploying on systems that cannot use a seperate user account for services. It has to use the System account or, computer-based account (Local service/Net ...Show All

• Visual Basic how can I creat a shortcut in clickonce ... ?

  when I publish my project, ClickOnce Technology not support a shortcut .. so is there any way to create it If you're asking for a desktop shortcut (or any other shortcut other than the one ClickOnce adds to the Start menu | Programs for you), then the answer is currently no. ClickOnce does not provide a mechanism to do this in the current version. It's definitely a requested topic, so I'm hopeful that it's something the team will be able to add in a future release, but that will be then & this is now.

• Visual Studio Team System Usernames in TFS

  Hi! I have a question about the usernames (fullnames) in TFS. As TFS displays now, it displays the fullname of the user loginname in userrelated fields (like Assigned To). So if you have a user DOMAIN\User1 (With the full name FirstName LastName), it will display FirstName LastName in these fields. The problem is that if DOMAIN\User1 changes name to FirstName emaNtsaL on the domain, the userrelated fields still displays FirstName LastName! After some digging I found out that the fullname for the user account is stored in the table Constant, but it's not updated whenever the domain is.. Why's this The reason why I discovered this problem was that I am developing a lightweight webpart that should handle some WorkItemTracking, and ...Show All

• Windows Forms Arraylist is populated using a custom class. Listbox Datasource set to the ArrayList. Error: Object must implement IConvertible

  I have an custom class that I use for populating an ArrayList that I then use as the DataSource for a listbox in ASP.Net. Problem is it was written in VB but needs to be C#.

• Visual Studio How can I separate the test code from the source code

  our company is planing to introduce unit test into our development phrase.We mainly use Nunit as our test autuomation tool.If we mix the test code with the source code,that is to say, put the test code in the same .cs file with the source code, and we don't want the release build containing the test code, we must separate them when producing the release build.Can we use the preprocess sentences in C# (#define etc.) to wrap our test code, and tell the compiler not to compile the test code when making the release build If so,then we don't need to separate them at all. Thanks for help. Hi Peggy. This forum is for source control. You might get better responses elsewhere. Anyway, #ifdef is one way to keep un ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. C# - Managed DirectX - Secondary Monitor

  Hi, I posted this question in the C# forms forum area a couple of days ago, and I thought perhaps this was a more relevant forum for the question. I am creating a program which uses the secondary attached monitor. The program successfully creates a Direct3D enabled window which runs fullscreen on the secondary adapter (using an adapter id of 1). This does in fact work smoothly and how I would have expected. However, there is a serous flaw which I cannot resolve. If something is clicked on the primary monitor (anything at all), the Direct3D enabled window on the secondary devices is minimized immediately (and naturally the DeviceLostException occurs due to the window being minimized). Somehow I need to stop the program from auto ...Show All

• Visual C# Determining if a generic Type implements ICollection

  Hi, I need to know if MyProperty returns an ICollection<T> for any T. Given a PropertyInfo instance that has a PropertyType of an IList derivative, for example. public IList<MyType> MyProperty { get { return mycollection; } } I am iterating through the properties of the type, and would like to know which properties implement an ICollection of any kind. Basically I need to know if MyProperty returns an ICollection<T> for any T. Is there any way of finding this out My problem is that I cannot seem to find a way of determining if the property returns a collection of 'any kind' I have to know the exact type of the property which I don't really know at runtime.

  Hello, I am using the June CTP and here is my problem: I have a TabControl with some tabItems that I am trying to style. I have my style working and it looks great. The only problem is when a tab is selected it changes its background and forground. I am using the trigger property to catch when the tabItem is selected and am able to change the foreground color (im my case it changes to red). However, the background does not change (even with a simple color of black instead of my gradient).

• SQL Server RDO DataType query.

  A colleague is trying to get some SQL Server data into MS Access, and is querying the table from a VB program. She opens an rdoconnection to an SQLServer database. When testing recordset.rdocolumns("fieldName").type it gives -9 as the value. This does not relate to any of VB's listed RDO connection types. It also shows the rdocolumns("fieldName").size as being twice what the database shows when viewed through Microsoft Access. What is this datatype Any ideas I've found various lists for datatype eNums for ADO, but nothing on RDO (as it's obviously obsolete). Anyone out there got any ideas (other than "use something else") Thanks in advance Chris. ...Show All
