• Visual Studio Team System Cannot execute a Build - TF42045

  I am getting "TF42045: A build for the team project: xxx is in progress on build machine: yyy. On each build machine, only one build can be active for each team project. Use a different build machine or try again later." and I can no longer execute any builds for the Team project. I have restarted the TFSBuildService and the build server, enabled tracing on the application server, which again logs the above message and there are no alerts in the event viewer. Can anyone suggest where I can look for this phantom build that is running I have also called the DeleteBuild web method in the BuildController to clean up previous build it that makes any difference. thanks in advance.

• .NET Development Synchronizing contents of datatable with the database

  I have 2 forms that modify the data of a table; Form1 opens Form2 Form2 modifies the table "Sample" and closes Form1 should refresh its datatable to reflect changes made by Form2 Any suggestions Is there a refresh function for ado.net2 *BTW, im not using strongly-typed datasets so everything is done manually.. thanks, paolo Paolo, If the contents of both forms are drawn from the same datatable , then you would need to refresh the controls that display the data , This also depends on what databinding you have in place , If the contents of the forms draw from different datatables and you do not have local copies of these datatables in place you going to have to hit th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. cloud of dust like in battlefield 2 : mc

  does anybody know how the developers from battlefield 2 : modern combat did the cloud of dust effects did you know what i mean I played BF2 on a ps2 a good number of months ago so I'll admit that my memory is a bit foggy (yes, that was a pun). But if I'm not mistaken, the effect you're talking about is the smoke grenades right When I played it, I seem to remember them just being a particle system with big sprites. With the alpha blending, it did a good job of partially obscuring the other players in the smoke ... a sniper with a straight shot could still pick them off, but it wasn't easy. Is that what you were referring to ...Show All

• Connected Services Framework Configuring A WES to Communicate with Session in WinXP / CSF Lite

  Hi Folks, In this help article: - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa303081.aspx it says to use the UDDI interface to register the WES, but the instructions only seem to be for windows server 2003 ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa302732.aspx ) How is this done for Win XP / CSF Lite Thanks for your help All the best, Ash CSF Dev Lite does not support Service Catalog, which depends on UDDI. And UDDI cannot be installed on XP. My thinking is that components that doesn't come ( not supported ) with CSF lite, are not applicable to CSF Dev Lite when they are referred in the documentation. Hope that makes sense. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to access Tables

  I'm developing a spread sheet application using Visual Studio 2005 tools for office.In my excel application there are tables.I need to access these tables from c#.How can I achieve this You have to decide how to best identify the tables. In Excel, one generally uses the RANGE object to identify things. In some cases, it's appropriate to select the entire table, then assign it a name (or apply a RangeName host control - this is covered in the VSTO documentation). If the data area grows and shrinks a lot, then the UsedRange property might be more appropriate. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectShow removed from DirectX

  If I'm not wrong, DirectShow has been removed from DirectX. I would like to know what solutions are offered for developers who needs services offered by DirectShow. (ex: mp3 playback, video, etc). Thanks in advance! Lovens You might also check out Media Foundation - this is the new audio/video stuff in Vista. I've not seen anyone tie it back to DirectX or game development yet so its a bit of a question mark. But its certainly the future and at least it seems to be supported better than directshow (i.e. it is supported!!!)

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is WriteableBitmap useless?

  Sure, it gives us WritePixels and the internal WICBitmap* functions overwrite its buffers nicely, but looking at the memory allocation in taskman the framework still reallocates the data somewhere deep in the rendering pipeline for each update. At 25fps and moderate resolution this means hundreds of megabytes per second. This is as fast as creating a new BitmapSource each time. Until WriteableBitmap is brought up to snuff, you can use 3.5's InteropBitmap which lets you create a BitmapSource from an HBITMAP, memory section, or HICON. It will be very fast, but if you happen to write to it while we're reading from it you will get tearing as it offers no synchronization with the rendering thread. BitmapSource i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Accessing ThisDocument from outside using Word Object Model

  Hello, Is there a way to access ThisDocument's methods and props from outside, e.g. from a Word VBA macro. Thanks, Andrew Hi Andrew Your specific requirement is still unclear, except that you're not using VSTO and should be asking in the office.developer.automation newsgroup . If you mean, can you work directly with Word's object model, the answer is yes. In order to use early-binding, you have to set a Reference to the specific Word version object library; late-binding is also a possibility and would be required for C# or VB.NET with Option Explicit On. In any case, you will find code samples for working with document properties in Knowledge Base articles. Search the terms: .NET custom document ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to show dates in forms by the order of time?

  Hello, all, I have a little database which deals with patients paper work. I have two tables. One is patients' basic information like name, race, age, and so on. The other is the patient's paper work including the date when the patient finishes the paper work. So I have two forms. One if for the patients' basic information, the other form is a subform of it to show the paper work information of the patient. My question is, when I try to see one patient's all paper work, say, 2 records, they are shown by the order of number, but not time. e.g. The first record will be paper work on 10/24/2006, while the second record will be paper work on 12/6/2005. I hope the records can be shown by the order of time. I mean, when I check the s ...Show All
