• Visual Studio Team System Agile: Scenario Triage?

  Hi, Is there a way to "triage" scenario like it is possible for bugs Thanks, Gaetano. What do you mean by triaging a scenario If it is about setting fields such as for approving, then you can add the fields that you see in bugs to scenarios. Here is the link on customizing work item types to add/manage fields: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243849.aspx ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Shouldn't GameComponents be Disposed in the opposite order they are Initialized?

  Hi all, I create and add my GameComponents to Game in the order they need to be created. But somtiems, things go wrong when my custom GameComponents get disposed. They get their Dispose() method called in the same order that their Initialize() is called. This is not how such things are supposed to work from my experience. Destruction should always happen in the opposite order of creation / initialization. Perhaps I'm not supposed to override the non-virtual Dispose function of the GameComponent class (I use IDisposable and the new keyword in the function signature to do this since... well, I need to define a Dispose for my own purposes). But that brings me to my second issue - why isn't GameComponent.Dispose virtualized A simple ...Show All

• SQL Server size of data replicated???

  hi, can anybody advice me how to find the size of the data replicated every minute. is there and procedure for getting the size of replicated data. Thanks in advance Jacx When you say size, do you mean how much megabytes per minute No, we don't track that information right now, but we're looking to do so in a future release. In the meantime, you can try perfmon, netmon, or you can run sp_browsereplcmds at the distribution database to estimate the existing data that needs to be replicated. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Userform Controls

  I have created a data request form for the company in Excel. The form has quite a lot going on (e.g. frames, option buttons, tick boxes etc). I've created all the necessary code and event handlers so that the form behaves as it should. In an attempt to record the user's input, I've then gone on and written a bit of code, which executes when the user clicks OK after completing the form. This bit of code loops through each control on the form and, depending on the control type, writes its caption or value to a blank spreadsheet. The issue I'm having is the order in which it loops through the controls. The tab order for the whole form, including that within frames, is spot on, yet this bit of code loops through some of the controls in ...Show All

  Dear all, I'd like to make a custom activity that can invoke xoml only workflow asyc. My xoml don't have x:Class attribute, because i'm thinking of XAML activation.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) error handling?

  When a XAML element has an attribute that it doesn't support, nothing renders and there's no alert. I also tried specifying my own error handler, instead of the null argument in the new agHost(...) call. That wasn't called either. I hope this isn't the intended behavior, because it sure makes debugging difficult. If that's not the normal behavior, could someone suggest how I can get it to work, or at least allow it to render the whole XAML document ignoring the offending element Actually, I would expect that both the error handler would be called and everything else would be rendered and the offending attribute would be ignored. Perhaps the non-rendering behavior is due to over-zealous validation, but I don't think that is a wise ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Action Pack Question

  I am interested in the Action Pack. I understand that it comes with the Vista upgrade, not the full edition. I do not have 10 licensed copies of XP Pro to upgrade from. So does that mean I will need to purchase a licensed copy of XP Pro for each machine that I want to put the Action Pack upgrade version of Vista on You certainly present an ardent defense of your employer David; you are an attorney right At least that’s the way it seems by your comments.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is there a way to communicate between Word Document Addin & Word COM Addin in VSTO?

  I have Word Document Addin in VSTO 2005, but I need to add some items to MS Word menu. I'm going to use Word COM Addin to add menu items, but it's going to be separate app. I'm not sure how can I notify Word Document Addin when state changed in COM Addin. What is the best way to do that Does Word provide any functionality to solve this problem Sorry, that I wasn't clear. >>It's not clear what you mean by "Word Document Addin".

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multiple Instances of the Same Model

  I've hit a really weird problem with the game I'm writing for the DBP competition. The reason it's so weird is because I'm sure it wasn't a problem before. Basically, I'm implementing the p1_wedge model in a class I have created called Player. Originally, I only had one player on screen but now I've added a second player. The problem I'm having is that it only draws the model for the second player. However, once the second player gets destroyed it then starts to display the model for the first player. It's as if the first player can't be drawn because the second player is using the model. I haven't done anything special to implement the Player class. I have made the main class a Singleton so that I have access to the graphics and content o ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums V4 3D issues with get map view

  Just getting ye old clusting working with V4 and discovered if you zoom out below about 6 the topleft and bottomright values aren't exactly what you expect. For example if you go to the sdk example zoom right out so you can see half the world you get: top left: 14.0318893599231, -1.14591559026165 top right: 14.0318893599231, 1.14591559026165 bottom left: 15.1778049501847, -1.14591559026165 bottom right: 15.1778049501847, 1.14591559026165 Which is not very helpful.... I can sort of see what is happening as we are round we don't quite have a corners... I would have perferred is a full range representing that half the world is visible. I'll see if a can make a fix based on altitude and the centre point... John. Ok i ...Show All

• Visual Studio Way to use interactive sort with "High" "Medium" "Low"?

  I'm looking for an idea about how I can use the interactive sort to allow me to sort a column containing "High" "Medium" or "Low" so they will display in that particular order when sorted. With the default sorting it sorts alphabetically resulting in a "High", "Low" "Medium" or Descending "Medium", "Low", "High" Thanks in advance! I finally answered a question (even if it was my own) just incase anyone else runs into this: set up a formula in the interactive sort: =iif(Fields!Volume.Value ="High", 3, iif(fields!Volume.value= "Medium",2,1)) Works like a charm! ...Show All
