• Visual Studio Team System "In Progress" state on Tasks and Risks

  Hi I am newbie to Team System but is there any reason why "In Progress" has been removed or filtered out from Task while it exists in Bug. My problem is that I have a task which can either be active or closed but what if I want to know if the task is "In Progress". I could use "In Progress" to know if somebody is working on the task Kind regards, Ayman Well, actually it doesn't exist, but you can modify the work Item type, and add the new state to the possible values, check out articles about personalization of work items template on MSDN and also on process template forums, I would recommend you download the latest Visual Studio SDK from MSDN where you have a l ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Pre-Processing Tiles for Image Manipulation

  Hi Everyone, I have seen some examples on the web where people superimpose various effects on top of the maps. IE. They would show temperature by shading different areas of the map to show different temperature. This goes beyond just drawing polygons on the map, they seem to have used a better way of displaying graphics on top of the map. I was wondering if grabbing the tile first, then adding any graphic data to it before serving it would be the best way of doing this kind of thing. I know you can do various mashups of data etc. but I was looking for a dynamic way of maniulating the image based on data changind day to day Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, sos The best method i ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problems modifying context menu on the fly

  I have been trying to modify a context menu depending upon the view a user choose in a window. I have added a context menu in the design view and added 3 menu items. On load I set one of these items to be either invisible or unenabled (I have tried both) however in the 1st view I still get all 3 appearing. I can set this to unenabled/invisible in the design view and it works fine. As I cycle through the views (choosing the view based on the choice made on the context menu) I try to set various other items to unenabled/invisible. This does work however it does not set the correct one to unenabled/invisible, and seems to choose the one that it sets invisible based upon the 1st choice you make in the context menu. For example I have my contex ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Data Compare - Next button grayed out

  Trying to a Data Compare. After I select my 2 data sources, I go to the next screen where I select the tables/views.

• .NET Development Does WseWsdl3.exe support a parameter file?

  I was under the impression that the wsewsdl3.exe tool supports the same parameters/switches that wsdl.exe does. However, I can't seem to get WseWsdl3.exe to use a parameter file.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies right click and drag and drop

  Hi, I have 2 problems with Sharepoint portal 2007 and IE7, and the explorer view of a "documents" web part: 1- when I right click on a document I have a warning message saying "running a system command on this item might be unsafe. Do you want to continue ". A lot of answers on the web are saying that I need to check "enable" instead of "prompt" in one property of the IE security settings. unfortunatelly, it does not change anything with IE7/SPS 2007. I have even set to "enable" all the settings but I still have this problem. 2- Drag and drop is not working at all. Any idea thanks Rod Hi Rod, Exactly which property have you changed ...Show All

• .NET Development how to accelerate network speed

  hi I am develping an application about networks.Can anybudy send me code in C# that how can I accelerate the networks application. I want code in C#, Can anyone send me code for the same. If your application is consuming resources not more than it requires then your applicaiton is perfect and resource friendly. Here rousources may include "Network Bandwidth", "Memory", "CPU Time". Memory and CPU time can be saved using best practices in programming and Network Bandwidth can be saved by forming your network messages well so they should be compact enough to travers network fastly and these messages should contain no or less meta data information.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to get and/or set IP address?

  Hey, I'm using VB Express 2005 and I'm trying to write a small program to configure remote network devices. In order to do the initial configuration, I need to get the IP address of the local hard-wired ethernet adapter, or set it. One way of doing this, I figured I could set the local hard-wired adapter to DHCP and connect it to the device. Windows would assign an automatic IP address, which I could simply obtain. I would much rather be able to assign a specific IP address, do what I need to, and the re-set the adapter to its previous settings. Finding the correct hard-wired adapter could be as simple and promting the user with a list of all the network cards and asking them to select the correct one. Anyone have any advice I found ...Show All

• SQL Server Join in an update statement

  I have a join between two tables. I need to updated column a from table a with column a from table b. How do I do that with a set statement This is the right way to do it (it is not a standard SQL way to do it, but if you have more than one column to update it is the only reasonable way, so this is the best way.) update a set a.column1= b.column1 from a inner join b on b.column2= a.column2 where filter condition to limit rows but be really careful that the join will return 1 row in joined tables per row in a. Otherwise it will update the row in A to one of the rows in B, but there is no telling which. ...Show All
