• Visual Studio Team System How do you develop team build scripts?

  I must have missed something here, how do you actually develop your team build scripts I have my basic Team build file created in the browser, but as soon as I want to add and change it it appears that I have to edit the file, save, checkin, run the team build from the server, wait for it to do its build and then find out I have a typo or missed somethign out. I tried running it locally but dont seem to get the same set of events and I believe this is due to settings such as IsDesktopBuild being different when I run locally using MSBuild. How do I go about actually developing my Team Build script without the whole checkin / run remote cycle thanks for any help Aaron thanks very much for the an ...Show All

• SQL Server MSDE (SQL Server does not exist or access denied.)

  Hi all, I'm getting this error message when I try to connect my MSDE database from other machine using enterprise manager application. Both of the machines are WinXP SP2. I found some solution such as using 'SQLServer Network Utility' but didn't work out for me. I even can not connect my database on my computer using TCP/IP. When I connect with name, it worked fine. I already enable both TCP/IP and Named pipe protocol on the MSDE machine. If someone has solution on that please let me know. Thanks, Myo You will first have to determine the port that MSDE is using by starting the application Srvnetcn.exe naviagte to TCP and note that number down. After this you will have to create an exclude filter for the firewall for the applic ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ComboBox value question

  I have two combo boxes looking up to a table. The first box has values of a product type. The second box needs to display all items of that product type. How do I get the combo box 2 to lookup when combo box 1 is changed Regards. UKMDG interesting. you would, I believe: 1) read data into a combo1 2) implement an OnSelectedIndexChange event for combo1 3) in this event, execute a query from your datasource (i.e SQL/MSAccess), which will bring back the results, then bind the filtered results to the combo2 control   This should do i for now... I will find a more effecient way on querying a dataset, which means that you do not have to constantly connect to the database and execu ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView 2.0

  Hi all, I've got a DataGridView 2.0 control used in my application to display the contents of a dataset - this view is populated manually (using the dataset). At the point the contents of the data grid is drawn on screen it is possible to see the grid draw each row at a time. Also, whenever a control is placed over the top of the control and moved it is possible to see the area of the control that is invalidated redraw (again, row by row). Is there a way to prevent this behaivour As it appears to be performing poorly and this is something that I'd like to rectify - its annoying. I'd appreciate it if anyone would point my in the right direction towards finding a solution to this problem. Is there a property that I forgot to set ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VS 2003 enterprise developer and vs 2005 professional

  Hi can anyone tell me what is the limitation of vs 2005 pro compare with vs 2003 enterprise edition. Can vs 2005 pro do the office development, as i know it cannot but i have try it on its ok for me to extract the data into the excel document. please advice Hi KangKang Both VS 2003 and VS 2005 can automate Office (Excel) applications. What VS 2005 Pro does not include, in comparison to VS 2003 enterprise, is the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO). VSTO is a way to link managed .NET code to specific Excel or Word documents, instead of embedding unmanaged, native VBA code. It also (in the 2005 version) makes it easier to perform certain tasks, such as embedding Windows Forms controls i ...Show All

• Commerce Server Accessing Addresses in Total pipeline

  I'm trying to write a custom pipeline component, I've read all of Max's posts on everything I could possibly want to know about pipelines. I'm starting from the MinMaxShipping SDK example and am running into a problem. Basically what I want to do is assess at the Tax stage whether the billing address is in the same state, and if so apply a standard state tax rate to the entire order. I finally have been able to access an address ID, but the Addresses IDictionary (setup in the OrderPipelineMappings.xml) always has Count of 0. I had considered getting the address and putting it in the context, but the pipeline is being called from the BasketHelper.RunTotalPipeline() method and I am not certain (A) whether this method is doing anything else ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF delopyment considerations

  Here's a simple question: If I plan to deploy an application that leverages WCF for production use in the Q2 '07 timeframe will WCF & .NET Framework 3.0 be released for production use on XP / Windows 2003 Server by then I've done some searching but I haven't seen a definitive answer (or even a best guess). I am assuming yes since it will ship with Vista well before then but I would like some guidance to back this assumption up. Thanks, -Kent ...Show All

• .NET Development RFID Reader Project

  Hello, I'm currently working on a project which involves a serial port RFID Reader. I have connected the Reader to COM2 of my PC and i'm trying to get the signals from the RFID Tags. I'm using Visual C# and SerialPort class. The problem is that i can't read or write to the port. I even tried to write something to the port using port.Writeline("string") and then read it with Readline() but it seems that nothing is written and nothing can be read. When i set the RtsEnable to TRUE the BytesToRead property changed from 0 to 9 no matter what i did and still i couldn't read anything. I also wanted to ask you if you have any code samples to send me or if any of you has written a similar program that works. I need to fix t ...Show All

• .NET Development GetChanges - Update - Merge result in redudant row

  I would like some assistance in the following situation. A table has 0 rows Row is added to table (table.rows.add) Table has 1 row GetChanges is called Update is called Merge is called Table has 2 rows (!) I suppose that this has to do with the primary key of table being autoincrement (both in database and in typed table). What's the procedure to do this right It's not much. Here: 1. Dim changedData As DataSet = data .GetChanges() 2. changedData = WebServiceProxy.Update(changedData) 3. data.Merge(changedData) Line 1 get changes, line 2 call a web service that does the update using common data adapters and line 3 merges the returned dataset.

• Windows Forms VS.NET 2005 won't create update/delete statements for my TableAdapters

  It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get VS.NET 2005 to create update/delete statements for my TableAdapters that I create in the dataset designer. Even if I turn on the option which is supposed to create the insert, update, and delete statements when configuring the TableAdapters, I still only get select and insert statements defined - no update or delete; they are null references. I tried defining a primary key on all the related tables in the dataset designer, but that didn't help. The odd thing is I don't get any errors saying that the update and delete statements couldn't be created! I could create them by hand but setting up the parameter lists would be such a nuisance given that one of the tables has several dozen columns! ...Show All
