• Visual Basic Problems with Process class

  Hi, I am trying to use media player classic to open certain songs in my program and close it after some period of time. Here are the source codes: dim myProcess as Process = new Process() myProcess.start("mplayer2.exe", "C:\My Song.mp3") myProcess.WaitForExit(60000) myProcess.CloseMainWindow() As the program runs, it can open windows media player and play the song. However, it keeps on displaying exception like this "The process is not associated with certain object" (i don't quite remember the name) when it reaches waitforexit method. anyone can help me thanks a lot. Since you are trying to force a shutdown of the application you may wish to use the StartInfo class of the process and ...Show All

• SQL Server cannot P/Invoke SQLCEME30.DLL when debugging Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator

  I'm trying to debug an assembly with System.Data.SqlServerCe - and when I deploy to a IPAQ 2210 - I get no errors! Alas, when I try to debug using the Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator - I get the "cannot P/Invoke SQLCEME30.DLL" exception. Can anyone offer directions best regards, Walther Normally VS 2005 would install NETCF and SQL Mobile automatically as soon as you hit F5. If for some reason that does not work, then installation via mapped folder should work. As device vs. emulator, there's no difference in this case. You see, emulator is a device, only simulated. You can even Active Sync it if you want in copy files via AS just like you would do with physical device. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Any limitations of Version Control

  Hello everybody, we are using TeamFoundationServer for about 4 months now and are very satisfied with it. Now our group of SoftwareIntegrators contacted me, they also want to store their scripts / projects from AdminStudio in our Version Control. Ok, we tried MSSCCI provider and everything seems to work fine. Now they come up with a new idea: they want to store all installation packages they get in VersionControl as well. I’m talking about 60 GB in a single TeamProject (growing up to 500 GB possibly). And there are some large files such as the MSIs for Visual Studio and so on... Are there any known limitations of Version Control (individual file sizes or the complete repository) Any timeouts when checking in & out or getting t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System System.ChangedBy populating with "currentuser" prior to save.

  Using the predefined system fields, I would like to add on who created the work item, date of creation, the last person to modify it, and when the last modifications were made. This is not a problem .. or is it It seems that System.ChangedBy is being populated with the "currentuser" who is viewing the work item regardless if he/she has made any changes rather then the the last user who commited changes to the system.  System.ChangedBy is updating PRIOR to the save and commit. Interesting enough the field System.ChangedDate is not being populated with the current date that the work item was opened, but rather when the last changes were commited.  The System.ChangedDate updates AFTER a save but prior to ...Show All
