• Visual Studio Team System FEATURE REQUEST - Permanently excluding Schema Objects from Schema Comparisons

  I would like to be able to save which schema objects I would like to exclude from a schema comparison. eg. there are multiple users and stored procedures I "always" would like to exclude from the schema comparison for a specific project. How do I save a schema comparison. Would It be possible to save schema comparisons as part of a project. Hi Juergen Thank you for your feedback. You're definetely not the first person requiring this feature. And it is an item that we are looking into, to see if we can address in a future release of VSTS In order to keep track of this can you log an issue in http://connect mairead PM, TS Data ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Server name in Changeset.aspx

  I changed the name of my TFS server in all sorts of places, but there is one left which I can't figure out. When I get an alert email that something new was checked in, I get an email with a link to the changeset. It ends with /VersionControl/Changeset.aspx artifactMoniker=16&webView=true. In there is a reference to a XSL stylesheet, but that reference is using the old, original server name. How can I update that one as well Thanks, David TFSUrlPublic is not commented out. Just checked again. Also, the emails that are sent from TFS do pick up the DNS Name from TFSUrlPublic, only the reference to the stylesheet in the XML from the changeset thing doesn't. Best, David ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Ajax Unit Testing using .NET and Visual Studio team Test...

  I already shared this out at the hot technology post, I'll share out here too... Wanted to point anyone developing web applications using ASP.NET/Ajax and is using Visual Studio Team Test, there is a new free library called WebAii available on www.artoftest.com that plugs-in nicely with Visual Studio unit testing framework. Comes with unified logging and a VSTT ItemTemplates in C# and VB.NET. They also have a cool approach to abstract out segments of your web applications using TestRegions http://www.artoftest.com/Resources/Whitepapers/introtesttags.aspx . I think that approach can definitly reduce your cost of coding and updating automated web tests... But Mercury QTP is not free ($3300 se ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I be notified of message loop start?

  Hello. I have a custom ApplicationContext app, and I need to execute startup code once the application message loop has started (after ApplicationContext constructor). Is there any way to be notified of the message loop start, or any way to post a message from the ApplicationContext constructor, so that is gets executed by the message loop   Thanks. Well, I can. ;) But it would be easier for me if I could have a way to have a "first" message in the message loop where I could start my autoupdate method. So that autoupdate (at startup) and manual update (on user action) could share the same code... ;) ...Show All

• Windows Forms Threading Problem

  Hey, I have a custom object that is using threading. I'm following an example I have in a book, so I created an object, and have a thread defined as a private member: private Thread _thread = null ; I have a method called run that defines this: public void Run() { _thread = new Thread ( new ThreadStart (Start)); _thread.Start(); } I have a Start method that does the work. public void Start() { .. do work.. } I am debugging, and the object is being created and it executes the Run method, but it never calls start to actually do any processing; instead it returns and nothing gets done. What am I doing wrong Thanks. Put here the Start() method code. You must certain ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server and Microsoft Project

  Hi there :-) What kind of report possibilities does Team Foundation Server provide I am new to this area and to be project manager for a group who whish to use Team Foundation Server in their work, thats nice, but does it provide the same reporting possibilities as Microsoft Project does It’s my impression that the reports you can draw from TFS are more usefull for the developers than for the not-so-technical project manager who is only managing the projects, and not taking part in the development activites.

• Windows Forms Datagridview unbound computed on bound...which event to use?

  Okay, I've spent the day trying to get this right, and not quite there yet. So much for rapid application development. Please advise My datagridview control has bound columns and unbound columns. I want the unbound columns values set based on a computation against the bound columns. Say my boundcolumn value is a date Sep 20 2006, so I want my unboundcolumn value to be assigned "Wednesday". I can do that fine in various events, but not immediately after the initial databinding...my unboundcolumns are remaining blank until my user starts selecting cells because I haven't solved which event when the datagridview is first loaded to use to calculate the unboundcolumns. Any ideas I've tried after the rowsadded and databindco ...Show All

• Visual C# Need CCW to support [hidden] and helpcontext

  I have a C# project that exports part of its API into COM using regasm. I need the API to include features that don't seem to be well documented. These are: [hidden] - I need to mark certain properties/methods hidden in COM. I realize that no such concept exists in C#, but it does on COM. [helpcontext] - How do I support context-sensitive help This includes helpcontext, helpstring and helpfile. Note that this is not a graphical API or GUI control. It is a library implementing a set of interfaces. Searches around MSDN and Google have revealed no answers so far. nobugz wrote: Unfortunately, you can't set a reference to the .tlb it generates unless the type library is registered.

• Windows Forms Status message won't update in real time correctly to screen

  Hello, I am trying to retrieve and display the status of a SQL 2005 merge replication process. I have a class that keeps the Syncronization code. The syncronization agent has an event handler that in turn calls a method to grab the status and percent completed of the current merge process: subscription.SynchronizationAgent.Status += new AgentCore.StatusEventHandler(SynchronizationAgent_Status); subscription.SynchronizationAgent.Synchronize(); Here is the method it calls: static void SynchronizationAgent_Status(object sender, StatusEventArgs e) { m_percentComplete = e.PercentCompleted; m_statusMessage = e.Message; } I am saving the status message in a member variable named m_statusMes ...Show All
