• Visual Studio Team System Installing TFS with the default web site on a port other than 80

  Hi, I'm working on an install of TFS on a an exisiting server where we've moved the default web site (along with Reporting Services and SharePoint) away from port 80. Is there an easy way to get the TFS install to work in this situation, or would it be simpler to move these sites back to port 80 for the install then reconfigure everything afterwards I've found some references on the internet to doing the latter, although these were mostly on the personal weblogs of sysadmins - so far I've not found any "official" documentation or guidance on doing any of this. Any pointers or advice gratefully received. I'll be experiementing in the meantime so if I come up with a working solution I'll post it in this thread. Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual Basic Wizard Control using vb.net 2003

  I want to create a wizard control using vb.net 2003. Not sure where to start. Any thoughts To get started defining a wizard interface, I would say that you need the following things: 1) A base control that defines the "shell" of the wizard control, including the layout of the buttons and any graphics you may desire 2) Derived controls for each screen of the wizard that add there own UI and logic 3) A "wizard manager" control that handles hooking up the transitions between differnt wizzard screens 4) A way of passing data between the screens (i.e. a property called "Data" of some sort). -Scott Wisniewski ...Show All

• SQL Server table items custom sort

  hello i am currently trying to port a "Business Objects" report to SQL Server Reporting Services. in B.O., there is a possibility to define the order of the table values by previewing the table values and moving them up or down. Example : the dataset contains data for 3 items, so in the Custom Sort window, I will see these 3 items and I can order them by moving them up or down in a listbox. is this possible to do in Reporting Services It shouldn't be that difficult to add another soda type and sorted the way they want it to.  But yes, they will have to change the query. Unless you can add a column to your 'brand' table that keeps the sort order (or create a new table tha ...Show All

• Visual C# Multiple inheritance scenario

  Hello, I know that there is no multiple inheritance of classes in C#. My problem is, I have a scenario that I don't know how to solve without it. Are there even scenarios that cannot be solved without multiple inheritance or is it just a flaw in my design Alright, this is what it's like. Let's say I have a class Object which represents a named item. class Object { public string Name; } It's extended by the Person class which adds the age property to it. class Person : Object { public int Age; } Next class ( IDObject ) extends Object , so that it can be associated with an integer. class IDObject : Object { public int ID; } Now what do I do if I want a person that has an ID Normally, I'd sug ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to create dynamic PPG

  Hi, MS VC++ provides "Custom build rules" functionality. It allows a user to create their own build tools. And it results in appearing new property pages (tools and their properties) in project property page. Our users requested the same functionality in our integration. The question is how to create such properties dynamically. Currently we support only hard-coded tools (like Librarian, Linker, Compiler, Resource Compiler etc) and hard-coded properties connected to these tools. We implement interface ISpecifyPropertyPages , but it requres static registration. Method GetPages works with CLSIDs taht should be predefined. So, what should I do to be able to add tools and properties reading them from file (*.rules) What interface ...Show All

• Visual Basic Firing new event in existing control?

  Hi, I'm new to Visual Basic 2005 (Express Edition) and I' decided to build my own PrintPreviewDialog using the PrintPreviewControl. One of the properties of the PrintPreviewControl is the Zoom Propertie. Unfortunately, the control doesn't provide a ZoomChanged event and I need to know when this propertie is modified (by the user, by the program or by resizing the control). Is there a way to trigger a ZoomChanged event everytime the value of the Zoom propertie change I created a new UserControl that inherit from the PrintPreviewControl but I'm not sure where to go from there. Gack! I meant to use Overrides, not Overloads. This is not the first time I wanted to override a property but couldn't, ...Show All
