• Visual Studio Team System Exception using TFS client in Web App

  Hi All we have a web application which communicates with TFS. This application creates new Work item on the server. We want to create the work item using the credentials of the user logged on to the web application. Therefore we use impersonation in the web app. The solution works fine until the windows profile of the current user exists on the server, but it crashes immediately if there isn't one (HKCU file is absent). I got the following exception: Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\TeamFoundation\Servers' is denied. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\TeamFoundation\Servers' is denied. a ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DirectShow or DirectSound

  Hi, I need to write a C++ application that searches all audio inputs (enumerate all sound cards and for each card enumerates all inputs) for audio. Then, if audio found, analyze it. I first though I'd use DirectSound, but strangely DirectSound does not support input-pin enumeration. Then I went reading the DirectShow manual, and found that it interfaces with the sound card through DirectSound, so it does not make sense to me to use it. Please note that I target my application for both XP and Vista and I must use C++. Any comment Thanks Shaul Hi LGS, I could not make my mind whether DS stands for DirectShow or DirectSound, so I'm gack in square one. As for GraphEdt, it is similar to wha ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. main menu

  Will you be able to create a main menu and if you can how will it be done LegacyOfHerot wrote: Having spent some time working on a MDX game, I found the UI samples a bit <crude> to say the least. As Windows developers, we're accustomed to being able to drag and drop buttons, sliders etc onto a design surface, and wire up the events. The MDX version is, well, a little limited. With Vista offering xaml based UI, what I'd like is a xaml based interface in xna - I know it would be a big job, but why reinvent the wheel Think of the cracking UIs we could have in games then - video in buttons, dynamic gradient shading, etc all without having to write code...Nice. That's a very good idea. I don't ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabPages.Insert Bug?

  Is anyone else out there having problems inserting TabPages I thought it might be a problem in my main project, so I created a new WinForms test project, dropped a tabcontrol on the form, and added a line to insert a tab at position 0. Nothing else. My constructor looks like this: public Form1() {    InitializeComponent();     this .tabControl1.TabPages.Insert(0, "Test" ); }   But when I run I only get the two tabs the designer adds by default.  I've tried all kinds of other permutations and still nothing.  No errors, but no inserted tab either.

• Windows Forms FAQ for Winforms designer section

  shouldn't there be an FAQ for this section i have participated in this section when it was under windowsforms.net and i noticed that the same questions has been asked (like how to notify the designer host for a particular component property change, etc.) i know that online resources for designer related articles are scarce and it will really be helpful for starters to know where these links are. joeycalisay wrote: The usual sir, filtering out unwanted inherited properties for components using designers, change notification of properties at designtime, design-time integration basics, etc. maybe even post the useful articles online about designers...

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding Combobox to TexBlock.VerticalAlignment?

  I'm trying to bind a combobox to the VerticalAlignment property of a Textbox. The combobox should display Top, Center, Bottom, Stretch and change the property on the TextBox when I change it in the combobox. Not sure how this can be done. When using the Create Data Binding wizard in Expression Interactive Designer only a few matching properties show up for the TextBlock. I think I'm missing something. Suggestions would be welcome. Tnx! Ah...that looks like it might be what I was searching for. Hrm...an object data provider needs to be created to create the enum This is surprising. I wonder why it couldn't just be MyComboBox.ItemSource = "Binding Source={DynamicResource MyTextBox.VerticalAli ...Show All

• Visual C# scheduling a windows service to run at a particular time..

  Hi, i have created a Windows Service in C# .NET . it should start running automatically at 8.30 PM daily. how can i schedule this i think i can do this by adding this Service to Task Scheduler available in Windows 2000/NT etc. but i want to know whether i can do the same without using Schedulers ie setting some properties of the Service.. pls help me. Thanks in advance , sajitha jose I would use a simple console app that is scheduled to run through Scheduler. I'm very much against creating services just to create services. I think there is already too much stuff running on Windows as it is to have yet another idle service running. Create a console application that retrieves the data from the websites.
