• Visual Studio Team System how to use generic test to run vb script

  I have an existing vbscript which do the actual testing. And I can put this command into a generic test: "cscript.exe myscript.vbs". In the script, I use WScript.Quit(1) for test failure. But the question is how can I pass the return value from script host to Generic Test and tell it's pass/fail Thanks, Frank Hi Frank, If your existing test uses process exit codes to communicate whether the test passed or failed (0 for passing, any other value for failure), you can wrap it into a generic test with no problems, everything should be fine. If you want detailed results, then you will need to modify your test sources so that they use an XML file to communicate the detailed results. The XML file must conform to th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Checking for capabilities

  I have a simply game where I'm drawing a flat terrain made up of tiles, each tile being made up of two triangles, and I'm using index + vertex buffers. On my computer (Geforce 6600GT, AMD Barthon 2600+) everything works fine. On my laptop (Centrino 1.7, Intel on-board graphics) nothing shows, so I guess the vertices aren't being drawn. I'm assuming this is because the on-board card does not support some feature that the 6600GT supports. I checked the GraphicDevice.SoftwareVertexProcessing property, and on my computer it is false, while on the laptop it is true, so I'm assuming that's set right, since most on-board cards don't support much hardware stuff. I'm also using a BasicEffect so that might be it.. I guess I have to check some ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLDependency is very slow

  I posted this in the .Net data access forum with no replies, so I'm trying it here and apologize for the cross-post. I'm researching using SQLCacheDependency in an application to keep caches up to date between applications. I could also use SQLDependency, just haven't tried that yet. I've tried a test where I read 1000 rows from a database, cache each one, and create the cache dependency. The dependencies work fine. My problem is that it is 100 times slower to read and create a dependency than it is to just read the row. At this rate, I need a 99% cache hit ratio just to make my caches break even! Is caching even worth it at this rate Why is it so slow Thanks very much for any insight. Here is the code: for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploying multiple files through a package

  Hi I am working on on SQL Server Integration Services and facing few problems in it. Actually am supposed to create a package that would automatically pick excel spreadsheets with a specific format and import it onto the SQL server. (Lets say , there is a company named AB and they have got various products named CD,EF and GH and each product has its own spreadsheet in which its monthly sales(JAN, FEB,...NOV, DEC) is given.

• Visual Studio Express Editions What Code question

  Hello to All: What code would I insert and use to make a message box appear when the user does not select the proper buttons on a form In other words I have a form that has three buttons. Two of the buttons are selection buttons that takes the user to two differnet forms. And the third button also take the user to another form, However I want a message to appear if the user selects the third button first. So in other words the user must select either the first or second button before the user can select the third button. And if the user selects or presses the third button without pressing the first or second button then a message should appear telling that user that they must select the first or second button before they can select the ...Show All
