• Visual Basic Sharing classes between solution projects

  I have created a VB.NET project (Project1) in a solution and I would like to share some of its classes with a new project (Project2) I am adding to that solution. If I right click on the target project, Project2, and add existing items, and then use 'link file', I am able to add a link to the desired class files residing in Project1. However when building the solution I find that I get errors because Project1 refers to the classes with "Imports Project1.MyClass", and Project2 when reading the linked file does not understand what Project1 is. I want to keep the code for each project encapsulated in one exe and would prefer not to make class libraries / assemblies for this reason.  Is there a way ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How did you start out in the world of programming?

  I apologize if this is inapropriate, but I just wanted to ask something. For those of you who have proffesional experience in game programming, what was it like for you to start out And what is some wise advice that a begginer (or pre-intermediate, if you will) like me could use, and hopefully avoid making mistakes in the future regarding my career As a programmer, I see technology, programs, and games that are so impressive, I don't know how I could ever surmount to something like that. I mean, I can barely use something as easy as XNA. Or does it just feel like that when you're a begginer, and later in life you'll be laughing at how "hard" you thought it was I just want some advice from a proffesional programmer, and I wanna kno ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System SOAP Event, Failed to deserialize the eventXml for WorkItemChangedEvent

  Hi all, I'm writing a WebService to get notifications about the state change of the Work Item. I'm almost there, when a state is changed, my Notify() method is called, and the eventXml contains the XML info about the WorkItem. I wanted to create a C# object from the XML string, so I used the XSD.exe tool with the xsd delivered by Microsoft to create a new "WorkItemChangedEvent" class. The .cs file was generated successfully, but when I attemp to create my object like this: public void Notify ( string eventXml ) // Do not change the names of these parameters { XmlSerializer xs = new XmlSerializer ( typeof ( WorkItemChangedEvent )); StringReader sr = new StringReader ( eventXml ); WorkItemChangedE ...Show All

• Windows Forms Designer weirdness when deriving from ComboBox

  Hello, I have a form with a lot of combo boxes where the accepted values are either "true" or "false" on some or the values of an enumeration in others. Instead of having to copy and paste the values I wanted into the Items collection editor for each one, I decided it would be easier to create two custom types, each deriving from ComboBox, that automatically populate their Items collection. My original solution was pretty simple: class TrueFalseComboBox : ComboBox { public TrueFalseComboBox() { this.Items.Add(""); this.Items.Add("true"); this.Items.Add("false"); } } class PartOfSpeechComboBox : ComboBox { public PartOfSpeechComboBox() { PartOfSpeechType[] posArray ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System An overlapping product in SQL Server???

  Hi, I spotted the following job advert: http://members.microsoft.com:80/careers/search/details.aspx JobID=ADA9F7F7-97D2-4B45-B2E1-8919E5525BA0&AllCl=Y&start=1&interval=68&SortCol=DatePosted&SortOrder=DEF Seems to me that the product their talking about has alot of overlap with datadude.

• .NET Development Time zone conversion problems

  Hi, I'm trying to parse a date time string that is always in ET time zone. The resulting time should be converted to local time. I could do that by backadjusting the ET time and converting to UTC. However, the issue is that I don't know if ET is currently in DST or not, so that I don't know how many hours I have to backadjust. Is there a framework built in way to get the UTC offset for any time zone Thanks, Tom Note that Windows generates file time stamps in UTC. It depends on what happened to those when the file got transferred to your PC. If you used FTP you're probably toast. If you know for a fact that the file was stamped in the Eastern time zone, you'll always have a constant number of hours diffe ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB.net - importing .txt file into.mdb file and getting jet database error.

  Its the strangest thing. I have a listbox where the user can select the file name from the test folder to populate an access db. This file would always be on N:\test. I always get "The microsoft jet engine database cannot open the file ". It is already opened exclusively by another user or you need permission to view its data" If you see below i am never changing the folder location (bold)- Just messing around...i noticed I can select the file off C:\test to populate the database in N:\test... it will work fine! But the fileloc would be the same regardless of whether i select the file from N or C! Because I am only selecting the file name not folder location. So - if I select off C: fileloc = testfile.txt and it p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TestResults Drop

  When are testresults dropped to final dir I have created a custom htm report from trx files (using trx2html task) but the generated htm files are not copied to build dir, I see then in the MSBuildProjectDir. Thx rido The test results are copied to the drop location by the TestToolsTask itself. If you want to copy extra files from the TestResults directory (or the MSBuildProjectDir) you will need to copy them yourself (using the Copy task). Alternatively, if you put your html report(s) into $(BinariesRoot) you can rely on the CoreDropBuild target during the build process to copy them for you. -Aaron ...Show All
