• Visual Studio Team System Prevent Team Project from displaying in Team Explorer

  We have recently installed TFS server (trial) in the company. So far so good, but ... Lets say we have two projects: Project A and Project B and two teams working on these projects: Team A and Team B. What I would like to do is to configure TFS in a way that Project B doesn't appear in the list of available team projects for Team A members when they connect using Team Explorer and vice versa. I think that I have seen such a configuration in another company, however although the project was not visible in Team Explorer if the person opens the version control window (s)he can still see the name of the project. In my case that would also be a bad scenario. Does anyone know of a way to achieve this Cheers, MB ...Show All

• .NET Development Pdf to xml without the use of COM component

  Can anybody tell about the conversion of pdf to xml document without the use of word automation i.e. without use of COM component. I wasn't able to find PDF to XML converter for .NET Framework.

• Visual C# Is Vista mostly C# .NET?

  Is C# .NET 2.0 or NET 2.0 family used in many applications I am wondering what is the market share on C# Many companies still rather program using MFC /Windows.h with C++ instead. Since I believe you will have more control on your application. It would be nice to do a GUI like MSN Messenger 8. I heard Vista is 90% all .NET 2.0 but many other people saying it is 0%. So what is the truth It depends upon what you count as being part Windows Vista.  From what I understand (and, I'm no export), they are using C/C++ for the Kernel (because you pretty much have to).  But, for most things on top of the Kernel, including libraries that are considered part of the Windows Vista SDK, are being written in C#.  C/C++ is used for par ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS .Net 2005, how to disable intellisense...

  Hi I am really frustrated with the performance of VS .Net 2005. This is because I always see at the bottom "updating intellisense..." and it uses 60% to 70% of CPU. How to disable this updating of intellisense... Please this is making Visual studio unusable. Thanks Chandra I have the same problem (and may be working for the same company)  My solution has more then 30 projects consisting of a total of >2500 cpp files.  Each project runs a makefile in the pre-build event that automaticly builds header files from cpp files based on information in macros imbeded in the cpp code. Each cpp file contributes to up to 4 header files so if the solution were searched the same defini ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Drop Location Problem with Automated Testing

  I have set up a foundation server and a build server and have been able to successfully execute a few different build types. However, when I try to incorporate automated testing, I run into problems. The build says "0 errors, 0 warnings, build failed" and the only useful thing I could find in the log is this message: The drop share directory "..........." could not be accessed. I have noticed that if I run the tests locally and attempt to publish them, I get the same error message. I have given full sharing privilleges in the security tab as well as the permissions button menu for the folder and the folders work fine for build types that do not include automated testing. From a previous post, I learned th ...Show All

• SQL Server running sp_updatestats is producing problems.

  Hi to all, 1.I have first a question about one SP sp_updatestats. Because the SP it is asking in the implementation about the sysadmin rights i got problems at running time. Our user it is the db-owner but it is no sysadmin. To give an example the sp : sp_createstats it is not asking for this rights, and this function it creates new objects in the db. My first question is Why the sp_updatestats must ask for this rights what is the oficcial ansqear from Microsoft about this I make a note this problem persist in the SQL Server 2005. 2.Now because of this problem i have tried to copy the sp from SQL Server 2000 and 2005 and to modify the SP to ask only for the owner rights. So instead of if not i ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectDraw Deprication

  What exactly do Microsoft mean by depricating DirectDraw Do they mean DirectDraw will be completely removed in the next DirectX release If so, what are the alternatives That's a kick-a$$ book for 2D game programming. Microsoft will always care about backward compatability with games, so you can expect previous dlls to be there. It just may not run as fast as it use to on OSes past Vista. As the book expects you to do after you read, do move your foundation to either Direct3D/OpenGL. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sometimes MediaElement plays streams without sound. Bug ?

  I've been using MediaElement to play WMA audio streams. I use only one instance of MediaElement: <MediaElement Name="mediaElement" LoadedBehavior="Manual" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="83" Height="Auto"/> and I access this instance from code so that each time the user chooses a URL here's what I do: mediaElement.Stop(); mediaElement.Source = uri; mediaElement.Play(); Volume is always set at 0.5f and Mute is never set to true. About 1 out of 10 urls plays with no sound. I know it's playing because I not only received the play event but also see that the Position is increasing. This happens independently of the URL. However, I never have the problem ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Digging out frames' info from D3DXANIMATIONCONTROLLER???

  Hello, I'm currently working on my school project about processing MoCap datas and their applications. Specifically I want to manipulate with them to get specific results. I convert them to .X files and load them within my D3D app. However,although, I can load and play animations, I cannot manipulate with the frames, what's the most important thing I want to do. Maybe I'm wrong, but the only way I see is to "manipulate" animations just via D3DXANIMATIONCONTROLLER and current Frame. I really need to make my own management over frames and not just call "AdvanceTime"... in this animController. So is there any way to get Joints' matrixes(or rotations) for every frame in the animationSet Or do I have to make my own ...Show All
