• Visual Studio Team System How to copy changed files only

  I work on a very large public website. Before Team Foundation server, we had a build process in place that would run a build and then copy changed files, remove deleted files, etc out to the QA server. I dont see anyway to do this with Team Build. Whenever Team Build gets the source for a build from Team Source Control, the file Date/Time is the date that the file was retrieved from source control. So If I deploy(copy) the site to QA, every file is replaced on the QA server. This is bad but not as bad as the problem I run into when I have to replace files on Production. We are talking about a huge public site here. I cant just replace every single file. I only need to move files over that have been modified. Is there anyway to have team ...Show All

• Windows Forms create a "masterpage" in winforms

  Hi, When you create a website you can use masterpages with contentpanes. Now I want to create that on a winform application. So let us say that you've got on the left and top a navigationpane and that the contentpanes are the forms. Is this possible Grtz Annihil8 Hi Annihil8 I'm not sure if this is what you're after but it may serve as a nice starting point. Try creating just a basic form with navigationpanes setting on panels on the top and left. Once you have the form exactly as you like it you can save it as your own master form and then create new forms which inherit from it using visual inheritance. It won't provide any automatic navigation capabilities but it should help to give you a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Writing to two files.

  Hi, my program should write a string to a file, then a number to another file, but instead it doesn't write anything to the first file, and puts the string in the second file. The files don't exist before the program is run. My .Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText( "appdata.dat" , text, False ) My .Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText( "apps.dat" , apps, False ) The varible 'text' is put into apps.dat and appdata.dat isn't even created. I also tried using: Dim ff As Integer = FreeFile() Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileOpen(ff, "apps.dat" , OpenMode.Output, OpenAccess.Write, OpenShare.Shared) Microsoft.VisualBasic.FilePut(ff, apps) Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileClose(ff) but that didn't work ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Transparency

  I tried to overlay transparent gif tiles over the map and they don't render transparent. They render white. Has anyone tried to put transparent gifs over the map I am having the same problem with transparent GIF overlay tiles... The problem occurs in IE6 and IE7 rc1 but not in FireFox. I suspect it is due to the custom filter that is applied to the containing element (tile) to support opacity. Firefox and IE use different approaches. If the opacity filter is not going to work in IE, due to an IE limitation, than the VE script for tile overlay handling should not use it when the user specifies fully opaque. That way we can at least render transparent GIF tiles at full opacity. I hope this gets resolved ...Show All
