• Visual Studio Team System Emergency: Deleting Custom Work Item Type

  I played with custom workitem types and stuck in the middle. I created some workitem types that are irrelevant and they create errors everytime my team opens any workitem related interface or Team Explorer pane like "One form per Work Item"; we ignore the error and continue working; but it is annoying, undesired and some feature that VSTS must support as deleting a custom work item type if you are the TFS Administrator. I want to delete "the work item type" at all with no glue back. I deleted some unrecognized rows from SQL Database but still there they are. You are correct, we store the information in our database. Someone else might be able to help you with exact information or steps for deleting WIT - it could ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Form behavour different if launched from menu or click event?

  I am having a strange problem where the behaviour of a form differs if a form is launched from a menu or from say the click event of a button. The form is top-level with a default data session. I have a few variables that are assigned as control sources to some textbox controls. I am using the destroy event to perform some updates using theses variables. This allows the update to happen regardless if the user clicks the exit button on the form or the title bar. The problem is that the form behaviour seems to vary depending on how the form is initially launched. From a menu the above works fine but from a the click event of a button the variables are not available in the destroy event Does anyone know why the behaviour is not consi ...Show All

• Visual Basic Windows service does work every 24 hours

  How do I set up a Windows service to do work once every 24 hours. I have read that using a loop that checks the desired time to the current time is a good solution, but I am wondering if there is a better way. I want to accomplish something similar to Windows Update. Why not simply use a timer every minute to check the system time. There is a limitation on the maximum duration of a timer - I'm not sure if 24 hours would exceed this. ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting to multiple SQLserver

  Hello, I am working on to design SSIS package which need to run scripts against multiple sqlserver and need help. Basically I need to connect several SQLserver machine to get a data and insert to our central respository. Any help or tip appreciated. Thanks -- Farhan If you have a list of servers that you want to run some SQL against, you can create two packages. The simplest way to do this is create a SQL Server configuration table. In the first package create a ForEach loop that processes each server in a resultset (I'd stick the list of servers in a SQL table so you can use it in reports). In the ForEach loop execute a SQL task to update the connection for the second package (th ...Show All

• Visual Basic A few n00b questions

  I have a few questions to ask, so i'll ask them all here. :P I'm building a program that will get a string like (010305060405 e.t.c.). They are co-ordinates in the form of XXYYXXYY e.t.c. how can i split them to 4 characters and then their respective XX and YY co-ordinates to be added to an array I've researched string.split and couldn't find anything that helped me. Also, what would be the best way of showing images for these values in a grid I want to show them as images in a grid that could be up to 99 x 99 cells (maximum, bare basic is something like 50 x 50 or 60 x 40 or 70 x 30 [default sizes]). And how would i go about doing that And would it be possible to see if a usr has clicked on a cell and to then perform an event, like ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Serial Port problems

  Hi. Running Imate SP5m with .NET CF 2.0 SP1 I have contacted Imate (on the side: poor support) who confirm that Raw/Serial IR access is possible and is on COM3. In the registry it says COM4. Anyway... If I use the serial Port class to open COM4 and write to it, I have the issue where when we do a serialport.write("hi");, the application does nothing. it just hangs, no exceptions are thrown. It does not even get to serialPort.Close(); If I use the serial Port class to open COM3 and then write to it, I get an exception @ serialPort.Write("hi");: at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.WinIOError() at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.Write() at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.Write() at SerialIrTests.Form1.mnuStart_Click() at System.Windows.F ...Show All

• Windows Forms Resources.resx

  I can't seem to find any information on how to use the Resources.resx file. I basically want to be able to store path data and connection strings in the file so that I can change them easily when I run my app on the live system, I thought the Resources.resx file would be my best option for this. Does anyone have any info on how to use this with C# Thanks, Russ OmegaMan is correct. If you want to be able to configure your application after you have deployed it, you want to use settings and not resource. In addition do OmegaMan's link, there is also an article here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/settingscs_rl.asp Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• Visual Studio Weird output... What's going on?

  All I'm getting is 2 columns of data that looks like letters that are half cut off Here's an example: C 1 l 2F I am just doing a very very simple test report. I am using a dataset and dragging two columns into a table. Saved it as report.rdlc Then I created a new webform, dragged over a reportviewer control. Made sure that the datasource was pointing to the right place, and am having it use report.rdlc. The two columns should be showing a date field, and an integer field. Thanks in advance! -Chris This is a known issue that only repros in Firefox (or other Gecko browsers). This does not repro in IE.

  Here's the problem: I need to use regexp to add an attribute xml files with a value from a different attribute in the same xml tag. Example: For every element where there is a name attribute , if there is no id attribute in the element, I need to have it created with the same value of the name attribute. If there is an id attribute already, then it is retained.

• SQL Server export to fixed filed size

  Hello I need to export my table fixed filed size by making numbers 15 characters right alignment and strings 20 characters left alignment. You could define a view or use a query that contains the expressions to produce the character format of the data and use it to export the data. Ex: bcp "select right(replicate(space(1), 15) + cast(numcol as varchar), 15) as numcol, cast(stringcol as char(20)) as stringcol from tbl" queryout .... But this is probably not a task for SQL or command-line utilities. You could use DTS/SSIS packages but I am not sure of the performance implications. Ask in the SSIS forum. ...Show All
