• Visual Studio Team System Extending Unit Test Asserts

  The one test condition that we really needed in the unit tests was a method for verifying that the result set from a given proc is the same before & after changes made to the proc. I began writing code to create this assert myself using the excellent example provided on Sachin Rehki's blog . However, the problem I ran into (before reading fully) was that I kept getting an IndexOutOfRangeException because I had two statements, returning two result sets, that I was then going to compare. The problem was outlined in the sample, "In V1, only a single batch is supported per test script, so your test condition will always interrogate the first array element. " Which means that I can't expect to have multiple result sets to compa ...Show All

• Visual C# Process Module

  Hi, I have an application which lists all the running processes of the machine and i need to get the full path from which the process is running. I am trying to use the following methods : Process.MainModule.Filename Process.MainModule.ModuleName The above code doesn't work it throws an exception "Unable to enumerate the process modules" any thoughts Regards Alan Hi Kaiser28, I guess this is a security issue. Make sure that you: - run the app with full trust - test the app as local admin // you might need debugging privileges to access other processes - run as admin if running in Vista with UAC enabled There might still be situ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System how to delete the file or folder in version control and keep disappeard?

  in the source code explorer, I check in some files and folders mistakenly into the teamproject, I want to delete them, so I rightclick them, select the "delete" menu, I found the status became "Deleted", but those files and folders still appeared in the source code explorer, how to make them disappeared Thanks a lot! Thanks for the suggestion, Steve! Unfortunately it did not seem to work. I tried quite a few things: refreshed the source control explorer from the toolbar, disconnect and re-connect to the server and connected with a different user credentials. What's interesting is that I don't see the deleted project in "Team Explorer" window. However, when I c ...Show All

• SQL Server A thought this would be simple...

  I had originally thought a full outer join would solve this, but alas I'm a roadblock. Perhaps it's because it's a Friday! The goal is to create the most efficient query that will display results of the daily calls and sales as this: Date EmpID Calls Sales 7/1/2006 1 20 5 7/1/2006 2 25 7 7/1/2006 3 NULL 1 7/1/2006 4 10 NULL The problem is a simple full outer join ends up ignoring EmpID 3 who has no Calls in t1, but I still want that row displayed in the results. Any ideas TIA create table t1 (Date smalldatetime, EmpID int, Calls int) create table t2 (Date smalldatetime, EmpID int, Sales int) insert into t1 values ('7/1/2006', 1, 20) insert into t1 values ('7/1/2006', 2, 25) insert into t1 values ('7/1/ ...Show All

• Windows Forms ControlPaint.DrawReversibleLine() - are there more options?

  Hi, It seems to me that the options available for drawing lines with ControlPaint.DrawReversibleLine() are quite few (none really) - is there any way I can change the line that is drawn I would like to have a punctured line (like te one Excel uses when resizing rows and columns). Thanks for your help, Cheers, Mikael Not really. ControlPaint.DrawReveribleLine() uses a special trick that was popular way back in the days of Windows 3.0. It draws a line with SetROP2(R2_XORPEN) . That lets it erase the previous line drawn by simply drawing it again rather than completely refresing the image. Speed was the concern back then when video adapters were slow. That's not (really) the problem anymore, just draw your line using t ...Show All

• Visual Basic prevent null exception from occurring

  Hi there, I'm fairly new to VB.NET and love it but I'm not sure how to prevent a null exception from occuring. I can use the Try ... Catch to prevent the program crashing but I would prefer not to use this method. Is there a way to test for this without throwing exception I need to return a blank value for objUserInfo.Properties.Item( "mail" ).Value for example if nothing is found. I'm building a string from data gathered in active directory to output to a CSV file. It seems if a value is blank then an exception is thrown. The relevant section of code is: Dim objUserInfo As DirectoryEntry Try objUserInfo = GetUserInfo(objSubFolder.Name) ' ' Exception occurs on the following line s = s & ",&qu ...Show All
