• Visual Studio Team System MDX Query for Number of bugs found and fixed in each build

  Hi All, I am trying to create a chart which displays the number of workitems/Bugs which have been opened and fixed in each build. So on the X axis, display the build numbers, and on the Y axis display the number of bugs opened and resolved. I have been able to create the charts separately - ie bugs opened (FoundIn.build) each build, and in a separate report resolved (using Integrated.build). But I can't seem to find a way to combine the two into one chart. If I was in SQL, I think could do a cross tab query to return all the build numbers, then the number of bugs opened and bugs resolved for each build. How do I do the equivalent in MDX Could I do this using calculated members I tried the following query and this returns the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Storing the graphical output of an ActiveX object?

  I'm hoping to write a DirectX project that can have a flash animation playing on the surface of a polygon... (it would ideally be real-time flash, for the sake of interactivity.) Is there any way to tell an ActiveX object to render its output to a buffer instead of right to the screen (or to access the location of the final 'mixdown' of a window's contents somehow ) I'm still very new to ActiveX, so I'm not sure how plausible this is... Thanks! ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Reading the buttons of Joystick Saitek x52

  Hi all, Did anybody come across a C# sample that relates to Saitek X52 I have found some generic Joystick samples which help me read the buttons EXCEPT the Mode button. The GetButtons() function returns the codes of the pressed buttons, but I cannot get the status of the Mode button out. I just spoke to Saitek support - No .NET samples whatsoever. Any tips will be appreciated. Best Moni. Does the mode button show up on the DirectInput setup wizard in the control panel You can test all the buttons in there. If it does NOT then this means the driver does not expose it and no DirectInput application could read it, managed or native. ...Show All

• .NET Development Best way to get a month index from a string. ("Mar" = 3)

  I have created a system to do this, but I surmise that my way is the long way of doing it and think that there must be a better way...so I present this request to the group. Good snag! The only thing I would add is to allow the user to pass in a larger string so a format error will not be thrown, (Jan | January) : public static int GetMonthNumber( string Month ) { return DateTime.ParseExact( Month.Substring(0, 3) , "MMM", System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat).Month; } Thanks to everyone for their suggestions! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reports

  Hi! How can I made the query parameters of my dataset be set as report parameters I have a report (*.rdl) that calls a dataset that have a query parameter (@param1) And I have the report in the report server.

• Visual C# Thread/GUI communication

  Hi! I apologise for the cross-post some days ago. I have been using C# for a while and am having trouble coming up with a good model for GUI interaction. In most programs I write I need to spawn new threads because I find that networking code is unrealiable otherwise. Those threads need to check InvokeRequired and Invoke controls to do their updating in their own time. This is extremely cumbersome for each control that needs updating! I don't want to use a BackgroundWorker because I don't have one or two long-running processes - I want my whole backend running in it's own thread. What I end up doing now mostly is having a global (static) object where I mirror data presented on the GUI. The GUI runs a timer and copies that data to the cont ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WndProc eventhandling never gets time to execute due to other thread.

  Hello I have an application which in its InitInstance uses RegisterClass to create a window class. My window class has a CALLBACK WndProc that is used to translate messages. I also have an updateScreen() function which I used to call as a result of an incoming event to my WndProc function. What I did is that I instead created a worker thread to call my updateScreen() function. But this now results in that my new thread never seems to let the WndProc get any events anymore. I have put a Sleep(100) in my new worker thread without success. The only time I'm able to get events to my WndProc is when I'm in debug mode and I set breakpoints in the WM_KEYUP and WM_KEYDOWN cases. I have also tried setting different thread priorities on my worker t ...Show All
