• .NET Development Difference between Console.WriteLine and Console.Out.WriteLine?

  Hi, What is the difference between Console.WriteLine and Console.Out.WriteLine in .NET Thanks & Regards, kalai There is no difference. Because writing data to the console is so common MS decided to expose the common TextWriter methods directly off the class. The Out property is available if you need a TextWriter , such as for piping output from another application. Internally the methods simply call the Console.Out method. For cleanless and ease you should prefer the methods exposed directly from the class. Note also that Console probably exposes some overloads or additional methods that make working with Out easier so not all the methods are necessary supported in TextWriter .

• Visual Studio Team System Migration of Class Library code to VSTS Test project

  We want to migrate the code written in C# (class library project) to VSTS test project. We are using MAUI and ECHO libraries in our code. What could be the best possible ways available to migrate The execution of current code takes some command line parameters( like application.exe assebly name / class name / method name / variations). The Test project does not allow input parameters. Have anyone migrated similar projects to VSTS If yes have you faced any problems Please reply at the earliest. Thanks in advance There are a couple of possibilities: 1) continue using your command line program. You can wrap your command line using a generic test, which will enable you to kick off the command line process and pull ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dual/Multi monitor – Window message

  Hi, I have a scenario where there are dual/multi monitor systems. I have written a nag (like a message box) application, which prompts the users with a message. Now, in a dual monitor scenario this message gets always prompted in the primary monitor of the user. Is there a way to identify that the user is on the second monitor and prompt the message in the second or the user active screen. It would even help if we can prompt the message based on the mouse cursor position – in a dual monitor scenario. This is very urgent, kindly help. Thanks in advance, Dan One of the easiest ways would be to interrogate the Screen class to learn on what screen a given coordinate set, control, or handle is on. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Publishing to TFS from Project 2003 resets leveling

  I am using the MSF for Agile Software Development template, and am working with the "Development Project Plan.mpp" file to keep the work items in synch. In order to set task start and end times, I like to set task priorities, and then use the "Level Resources" feature with leveling order "Priority,Standard". I am doing Manual leveling, not automatic. The problem is that when I do that, and then click on the Publish button to push the changes back to Team Foundation Server, the task start times will get changed. This is particularly a problem if you have task durations that are less than one day. Why does the act of publishing work item changes to TFS change any of the attributes Shouldn't it just be a one-way ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Dynamic TileSource not showing up in 3D

  Hi all, I'm using sharpmap to render some shapefiles as dynamic tile sources, and I've run into an issue with 3D mode.  The same code seems to work flawlessly in 2D mode, so I'm kind of stumped.  Here's the nefarious javascript: function AddHazardLayer(layername, zorder) {  try {   var bounds = [new VELatLongRectangle(new VELatLong(42,-127),new VELatLong(29,-108))];   var tileSourceSpec = new VETileSourceSpecification();   tileSourceSpec.ID = layername;   tileSourceSpec.TileSource = GetTilePath3D() + "&LAYER=" + layername + "&QUADKEY=%4";   alert(tileSourceSpec.TileSource);   tileSourceSpec.NumServers = 1;   tileSourceSpec.MinZoom = 1;   ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) WPF/E VS Templates do not recognize SP1 beta

  The installer for the SDK VS Templates returns an error saying that the web application project update must be installed first. The problem is that SP1 beta has superseded that and includes the functionality. Can the template installer please be re-released to detect the SP1 beta Thanks --Oren We're working on an updated template installer. Until then, I've posted a sample file based project that can serve as a template. http://blogs.msdn.com/mharsh/archive/2006/12/05/wpfe-template-for-express-skus-and-vs-2005-sp1.aspx - mike ...Show All

  In the scope of a "button click" event, I declared a string variable "result".

• Visual C# Best way to confirm Microsoft Office Applications present on System

  Hi, What would be the most precise way to confirm the existance of Microsoft Office applications from a running application. For example how can I confirm that Outlook is installed, or Word is inastalled, what would be the 'best practice' method to confirm this or any installation information, to the highest degree of accuracy. Thanks for any ideas. Its just one of those things unfortunately. you could get a list of files which are "Office" related files only using the Directory.GetFiles(), and get files in the program files folder and see if the specific files do exist but then again, it could be that it does exist but not installed! you could do the thing as suggested and you pointed out about launching the process ...Show All
