• Visual Studio Team System Team Queries in Custom project template referencing iteration path.

  I have edited the default team queries for my project template, to exclude an iteration called 'Deleted'. The classification file is imported successfully when creating a project, but the team queries fail with: TF51011: The node specified is not found in the classification hierarchy. The error is caused by 'Deleted' . Is there a way to edit the default team queries after the project is created ++Alan Hello Alan, You can edit the query from Team Explorer. Expand the project you just created in Team Explorer Expland "Team Queries" folder Select the query you are interested in, Right click and select "View Query" Now you can edit the query and save it. Hope this helps, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TextRange

  Hi I am having trouble saving Images from a flowdocument into an RTF document. I use the TextRange object to get my data which I build up using paragraphs and inlines. I use Avalon Image objects to add Image Inlines to my document. Then I just use the TextRange.Save method to save my data, using the RTF format. The problem is that only my text gets saved (including its formatting), but all my images are gone. Is is possible to save images along with the text Thanks! bbg I use this approach: Image image = new Image (); image.Stretch = Stretch .None; image.Source = new BitmapImage ( new Uri (fileName)); new InlineUIContainer (image, this .richTextBox1.CaretPosition.GetInsertionPosi ...Show All

• Visual Basic nextinstance

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Matrix Interpolation and gameTime

  I made a simple cube and created two translation matrices: start = Matrix .CreateTranslation(-20, 0, 0); finish = Matrix .CreateTranslation(20, 0, 0); Then, I figured I could create this simple animation using linear interpolation and the game time, by using the general formula inside a game component: effect.World = Matrix .Lerp(start, finish,     (currentTime - startTime) / (endTime - startTime)); I tried all four permutations of updating the time (ElapsedGameTime in update/draw and ElapsedRealTime in update/draw), although I would think that updating in the draw method with ElapsedRealTime would provide the smoothest interpolation. The problem is that the animation is not completely smooth.  It has some ...Show All

• .NET Development Reading file size and then store the name, date and size in database

  I'm trying to make a program that basically say that every morning run this directory and scan through all the files. Then record the name, size and the date and then compare with the one that already existed in the database. If everything is match then pop up message say GOOD. If something has been changed then pop up a message say NOT GOOD. But aslo if i know that there was an update on the file so the date has been changed, that program should also have an update function to update the database. For instance File1 800kb 7/18/2006 File 2 1mb 7/17/2006 because this is the first time i run this program so i have to insert this into the data base. so after inserting, the database will have a list of file 2 and 1 with ...Show All

• Visual C# Collection Differences

  I want a collection for dynamically adding/removing/sorting lists of strings. From what I can tell, the best options are List and StringCollection, but what I can't tell is what exactly the difference would be. They both seem to have many of the same methods, and in the documentation they are both used as examples of Collections that are not prone to performance hits (at least, for my usage). If anyone could explain to me what the difference is, and why I might prefer one to the other, that would be greatly appreciated, as right now I'm very confused, and don't want to start using the wrong one only to have to find that out a while into the programming! Thanks very much! There not a lot of differen ...Show All

• SQL Server Linked servers and Windows Authentication

  I have seen similar questions, but none of the answers have solved my problem. I have several SQL2000 servers running under Win2003. In the past, we have been using SQL logins, but I have been trying to transition to using Windows Authentication. It has been working great except that sometimes queries using linked servers fail. The linked servers are set up for the connection to use the login's current security context. For testing this problem, I have limited myself to two servers to do this between. My Windows account is defined with sa rights on both servers. I have tried explicitly to impersonate my account, I have told it to explicitly use the same account and password on the other server. I have tried not listing my account ...Show All

• Windows Forms Display ListViewItem ToolTip for Entire Row

  Hi, I'm having trouble getting a ToolTip to display for my list view. It's likely that the list view will be too narrow to display all of the columns so I want to pop up a tool tip displaying the item when you hover over it's row. The problem is I have fullrowselect = true so it only shows the ToolTip when hovering over the item, not the subitems. I've tried this: private void lvPeople_MouseMove( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { ListViewItem it = lvPeople.GetItemAt(e.Location.X, e.Location.Y); if (it != null ) { toolTip1.SetToolTip(lvPeople, it.ToolTipText); } } and I get no tooltips at all. That worked, the problem I was having was that the ListView's ShowToolTips property was still ...Show All
