• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TreeViewItem width to fit control & transformation

  Hi! 1)Is there any way to set TreeViewItem width in such way that they fit eaxactly all free space in the TreeView. (smth like items in listbox) I cannot manually set it in code because treeview width is defined automatically. 2) How can i apply transformations only to the treeview item and not to its child elemwnts (All effects are applied at node expansion, i tried to set RenderTransform of child elements to null but it didn't help) Or maybe i can perform all transformations before node is expanded but just after + button is clicked but i didn't find necessery event Thank you i do RotateTransform and ScaleTransform on TreeviewItem.

• SQL Server Management Studio Solution user-defined project folders?

  When you create a Solution/Project in Management Studio, it creates 3 folders for you - Connections, Queries, Miscellaneous. It does not appear that there exists the ability to create your own set of folders, either under the project or any of the 3 provided folders.  Does anyone know of a way to do this If you are working on a project that has hundreds, perhaps thousands of stored procedures, views, etc., there currently seems to be no way to organize them.  If this is true, this is an incredible MS oversight! Thanks! I would hope so! Since Mgmt Studio is based upon the Visual Studio shell, it doesn't seem like it would be that hard. In fact, I would think they would have ha ...Show All

• .NET Development xslCompileTransform - Parameter problem passing attribute

  I have a sample application that I have simplified the xslt and xml file down to where I am having the problem. The original sample came from a .net 1.0 c# example that I converted to vb and had working using xsltransform. I then converted the app to .net 2.0 and changed the code to use xslcompiledtransform because the xsltransform class was deprecated. Since the change to 2.0 something about the parameter is not work. Either the parameter is not passing correctly or being tested in the xslt file correctly. I do not get any errors. The result string contains my table, row and cell. The cell should contain the Page Title and does not. Here is my simplified xslt file: test.xslt < xml version="1.0" encoding=&quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What are the implications of removing values from a GlobalList?

  We have some GlobalLists used to populate dropdowns on our customized Work Item forms. The contents of the lists are composed of data migrated from ClearQuest (as are most of the work items themselves) and they really need some rationalizing due to misnamings and duplications. What would the implication of removing items from the GlobalLists be I'm guessing that the following would be true: If the relevant fields are marked as AllowExistingValue then closed work items would look fine when viewed (no error messages relating to values not existing in dropdowns) Open work items would need to have a valid value chosen from the dropdown before saving could occur I would like some contribution to this before I ruin our developmen ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Standard won't accept remote connections - followed all FAQs but options aren't available

  Hi, SQL Server 2005 isn't accepting any connection other than SQL Management Studio from the local machine. However, even that's exhibiting strange behavior (please see below for more details).

• Visual Studio Team System Field.IsEditable is not showing as editable for the Title/Description type.

  Hello, We want to get all the editable fields from a particular work item. When we iterate over the fields and use the Field.IsEditable property, for Title and Description it returns FALSE. We are using the standard Agile project template for our Task type. When we query the FieldDefinition.IsEditable is returns TRUE, however, for many fields this returns true on fields that shouldn't be editable. (Such as CreatedDate, etc.) How can we really determine if a particular field (on a specific work item) is editable or not Thanks, ~Joe Dennis, I'll try this and let you know how if it fixes it. I had tried .PartialOpen() previously, but that didn't work. What kind of performance hit does calling ...Show All
