• Visual Studio Team System Sharing a class library within same TFS Project

  We have a TFS project that represents a single product. This product has two possible installations, one web based and the other windows client based each with different installers. The two installations share the same class library. We're trying to determine the best way to structure the source control in TFS with respect to the class library so that it can be managed and built as efficiently as possible without having to create a separate TFS project to do so. Any suggestions I think you can create two installer projects in one build solution . or else you can go with two solutions (ie web-installer and WIN-Installer)which include all the class liberaries and only one installer project . you can keep bo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't execute Team Build - TF30063 error

  Hi, I'm trying to execute a Build on my local machine, but I am getting the following error: TF42056: The build service could not connect to the Team Foundation Server: TF30063: You are not authorized to access http://buildServerName:8080/ I have Team Foundation for Testers installed on my machine. I know that I actually can access port 8080 on the build server because that's where our code lives, and I can access and modify the code. I'm really stuck as to how to get builds working. Can builds only be done on machines that have Team Foundation for Developers on it I hope not, because it wouldn't make any sense that a tester couldn't launch a build so they could run their tests. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I am at a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Runninc vc++ programs on other machines

  I want to run programs that I write using vc++ EE on different machines. So far I've tried dubbuging the program, then only transfering the .exe, but it didn't work. Transfering the whole debbug folder on the second machine didn't work either. The error it gave was "The program failed because of bad configuration. Reinstall may fix the issue", or something along those lines. I know that there used to be a tool for this in older vc++ versions. Is there one for EE aswell Ok, that article helped. However, it said there somewhere, that you can make a setup.exe file if you make a deployment project. In the walkthrought for such a project, it sais to use the deployment project template, template which ...Show All

• Visual C++ C2027 Error: Full class declaration required: Bug?

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registry functions in VB express?

  I'm still pretty new to using this program, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of any built in registry search/add/remove functions in VBE I need to have my application be able to go to a specified place in the users registry to check what the value of a key is, and if the key even exists. I may have not even worded that right, but I'm wondering if I can pull this off without having to write many lines of code manually. I know the search is pretty poor on the forums, but that should have been an easy one : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=480818&SiteID=1 Or a search of MSDN (this is online, but you'll also find it in the VBE built-in help): http://msdn2.microsoft.com ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Windows Media 11

  I have a problem with audio codecs. When I install WMP11, it uninstalls Windows Media Audio 9.1 codecs. I use Windows Media 9 Series, Windows Media Profile Editor to create profile *.prx but this utilite doesn't work with Windows Media 11 (it can't find codecs for WM 11). Also I tried manually set codec's GUID into *.prx file to submediatype section and unfortunately I failed. Can anyone give me a simple *.prx file sample with a valid audio codec section Or can anyone tell me GUID for codec(s) in WMP11 which I should use in prx file.

• .NET Development email distribution list via System.Net.Mail

• SharePoint Products and Technologies "Explorer View" locks Active Directory accounts

  We only recently began using Sharepoint corporation-wide, but have begun receiving support calls for locked accounts. We've noticed a pattern that the accounts were locking after the user was browsing around in Sharepoint. I myself am now able to "force" my own account lock by simply clicking "Explorer View" in any document share (note: I am full admin on all Sharepoint web sites). I do in fact get the explorer folder view and can get right-click options, but once I navigate off (for example, by clicking "Home"), I am immediately locked out and receive a login prompt in the browser. Has anyone else had this problem and can shed some light on possible solutions I've tried going through the troubleshooting s ...Show All
