• Visual Studio Team System Help needed to resolve a Windows Group/User when trying to add them in Team Foundation Server

  Hello All, When I try to add a Group or User from the domain, I get an error message that Team Foundation Server can't resolve the group or user name. The Virtual Server where the Team Foundation server resides, is on the domain so I am not sure where I need to make a change. Thanks in advance :) Bob Hanson I believe that the necessary Active Directory permission is "Read". In a Domain Controller/DNS machine I've been using for some of my local testing, the Domain Users group has the following effective permissions. My service account is only in this group: Read Create All Child Objects Delete All Child Objects Send To Read Phone and Mail Options Write Phone and Mail Options The two "Child Objects&qu ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Switch from Live ID to .NET Passport

  Is it possible to switch it from Live ID back to .NET passport I was in the Windows Live Account Service page, I try to change my email to another one, but I only given one choice, which is to create a new Hotmail account. I remember last time, when I login to .NET Passport credential page, it do let me change the email to whatever email I want (not limited to Hotmail). Is this possible Peter Chan Windows Live ID = http://account.live.com . Passport = http://accountservices.msn.com When you visited a Windows Live site, your account was changed to view your profile from the new http://account.live.com site only. This means that you can not go back to the older styled Passport Account Services page. ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it possible to catch a c++ assert dialog using c#?

  Is it possible to catch a c++ assert dialog using c# So, if a c# application is interacting with a c++ application and the c++ application launches a c++ assert failure dialog is it possible to catch it in c# so the dialog is not displayed Thanks. Not that I'm aware of. The C++ assertion dialog should only be generated by debug code. It is generated within the C++ RTL and can not be prevented as there is no communication back to C# (or anybody else) that the dialog is going to be displayed. Michael Taylor - 7/28/06 ...Show All

• .NET Development I can delete how do you create

  I am writing a function called Read(string uri) that reads a file from the passed in URI or creats file, directories, and list them. I found this example which helps me DELETE but I don't understand why the PROPFIND doesn't work. I get a 411 error the length was not passed in. If anybody knows anything about this at all I really would like even a hint as to what to do next. Thanks, Matt I'd suggest; run a packet sniffer in parrallel with you app to ensure it's not downloading, also you'll see errors on the wire this way. hth Si ...Show All

• Visual Basic Isolated Storage settings lost when re-publishing

  I'm using VS2005 and clickonce technology. When I publish a new version of my program to my clients their isolated storage settings do not upgrade to the new version I've published. When using app config or user config settings on the 2.0 framework, you can use the Settings.upgrade code to pull the settings up to the new version published. Is there similar code to pull my isolated storage settings up to my new published version kreativekai, When you publish a new version of your program to clients, the clickonce technology with XCopy cannot cover the old version because of the different version number control. The .NET Framework enables side-by-side installation and execution of different versions of the same application. So ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) All-in-one bundle Beta 1 or CTP?

  When will we be able to have an easier-to-install updated CTP of ADO.NET vNext The current one is a September 2006 CTP that requries the May 2006 CTP of LINQ in order to function. Are there any firm dates as to when LINQ and ADO.NET vNext will either become parallel (release at the same time) or get rolled into the same CTP/Beta Yes, we'd like to be able to get you to that happy state of everything in one CTP as soon as possible :-). It just takes a bit longer to get everything integrated into one build as there are a number of dependencies. BTW: I was being conservative on when the Orcas CTP build would come out that has the Entity Framework so I said sometime during the next few weeks. Actually, it was posted today at http://www ...Show All

• Visual Basic listbox items

  How can program a list box so that when a certain item is inputed the font color changes Rather amazingly, it seems that adding an item (or range of items) to a listbox only triggers the Format event on the Listbox, so you could put some in that event to check whether the new e.ListItem is one that causes a colorchange. But the more amazing thing, is that removing an item(s) from the listbox does not seem to trigger any event at all! I'm telling you that, because it means you'll have add a textcheck yourself after removing an item (as opposed to putting your code in an event's Sub). So you might as well use the same textcheck code after adding Items too, instead of putting it seperately in the Format event. The example below gives you tw ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to call a memory release ?

  Hi, I am currently building a VB.Net Application that uses Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0. The problem is that the amount of memory used while the process is running always keeps growing. And I am sure that Acrobat is responsible for that. So I would like to know how to call a memory release in VB.Net. thanks for helping. Alex I assume that opening and closing a PDF document is done through some objects I have no idea how the Acrobat class library looks like, so I make up some types, like so: Dim doc as PdfDocument = Acrobat.Open("some path to a pdf file") ' do something with doc doc.Close() ' does a close method exist Do you call it ' doc is not needed after this point anymore, or maybe you reu ...Show All

Personally, I find Advanced Installer really easy to use and have not been able to find the advertising that Thymen objected to, in the free version that I use.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Framework / Architecture

  The XNA Framework resides in the Microsoft.XNA.Framework namespace.  It adopts a layered architecture to provide services. There are four layers defined.  From lowest to highest these are: Platform Core Framework Extended Framework Games / Application The lower three layers are implemented by Microsoft and the upper layer (Games/Application) is a placeholder layer.  What I mean by that is that the Games/Application layer represents the code that you write as part of your game or 3rd party/community reusable components that you use. Looking in to each layer we can see that they each provide a set of classes that wrap up some set of functionality: Platform This is the lowest level layer and repres ...Show All

• SQL Server Package Runs in 1 minutes in Visual Studio but takes 5+ (sometimes hanges) as Job

  I have an SSIS package that when run from Visual Studio takes 1 minute or less to complete. When I schedule this package to run as a SQL Server job it takes 5+ and sometimes hangs complaining about buffers. The server is a 4 way 3ghz Xeon (dual core) with 8GB ram and this was the only package running. When I look in the log I see that the package is running and processing data, although very very very very very slowly. Has anyone else experienced this Thanks for your help Marcus You need to identify what the differences are between the two executions. It could be network latency, utilisation of the box by other processes, the user that you're running it as....anything. What happens when ...Show All
