• Visual Studio checkout file dialog box does not show the username.

  hi, I am working with vs2005 and vss 6.0.Can anyone please tell me how do i show the user name who has checked out the file in vs2005. is there any option for this in vs2005/vss6.0 thank you.. Steve, the error message is in VS, and it's easy to reproduce. The message string comes from VssProvider.dll, which has no way of determining which VSS user has the file checked out (after a failed SccCheckout MSSCCI call, we can check the status file-by-file by calling SccQueryInfo, but the only information we'll get back is a flag SCC_STATUS_OUTOTHER | SCC_STATUS_OUTEXCLUSIVE). The only one that can provide checkout user information is VSS, and it does that by calling back VSS during the SccCheckout ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums variable declarations

  Hi, this is kind of a basic and maybe a silly question, but also hopefully a simple one. in a few code snippets i have seen online, i have seen dim declarations made with variable names followed by ampersand or percent sign...such as dim Dim LastRow&, LastCol% what do these signs mean do they specify some kind of characteristic for the variable thank you, kriti I found one list on this page , there are probably better references around. Remember that this kind of declaring your variables is considered obsolete and should be avoided. Andrej ...Show All

  I have a client application in C#, .net 2.0, which uses the built in web browser control. I have implemented the NewWindow event in order to find out when the user launches a new window via window.open() in HTML/JS code. 1) In my event handler methof, I would like to check the destination URL before deciding whether to cancel (e.cancel) the action or allow it to go on. But I have not been able t find the destination URL anywhere 2) I have noticed that the Session is not handed over to the new window, which is causing me a lot of headaches. For popups that need the session, I would cancel the new window and instead start my own browser window, with the same destination URL. (New windows using WebBrowser seem to inherit the ...Show All
