• Visual Studio Team System Core Team Organized interim milestone - related workstream?

  Hi, Can you please help me figure out which workstream is related to the "Core Team Organized" interim milestone of the Envisioning track (MSF v4) As far as I understand, the "Vision/Scope Baselined" interim milestone as well as the track's major milestone are directly related to the "Capture Product Vision" workstream, but I can't find any workstream that would include activities on preparing the project team. Regards, Dmytro Lapshyn Hi Dmytro, In the MSF for CMMI Process Improvement, there is a workstream called "Form Project Team" which correlates to this milestone. Cheers, Randy ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Window.Resources access from another class

  I've defined a style in my XAML file under Window.Resources, and I would like to access it from another class. Is that possible If not, is the only work around placing the Style at the application level -- nerk Thank docBliny. I'm actually aware of that. What I was wanting to do is read use a ResourceDictionary (defined in XAML) from a non-UI class. In my case it was a class to handle printing and I needed access to the styles. I'm still interested in how this would be done, but for now, I've moved the styles into the Application.Resources dictionary. The post linked below does seem to answer most of what I was trying to do. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=289960&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help With Installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional

  Could someone please tell me step by step what I need to do in order to install Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I have downloaded the En_vs_2005_Pro_90_Trial.img file but from here I am completely lost. I am looking for some way to install this program into my computer without having to purchase the ISOBuster software or possibly any other software for that matter. I am a total newbie to any sort of file like this (.img) and just about everything I have read concerning it confuses me.

If someone could explain in laymen's terms how I can install this file into my machine I would greatly appreciate it ...Show All

• SQL Server Table inside of table to keep groups together doesn't render??

  I needed to keep my groups together on the same page, so I tried putting a table with the keep together property set to true inside of another table. This succeeded perfectly when previewing the report. However, once I tried to render the report in local mode from my web application, the report failed to render. I took the table out from inside the other table, and that version of the report renders in my application fine. Can anyone explain this Why does the table inside a table work in the designer, but fail to render in my application I really want to keep my groups together and the table inside the table seems to be the solution.

• Visual Studio Team System Unshelve after element move

  Hello, I just moved a bunch of element off the main branch down to a development branch. Before the move I told the developers to shelve their work, once the move was done they could unshelved their and continue working on the new development branch. All was well until the developers started to check in there code. Their check-in's were being pushed back to the old folder structure on the main branch. While the elements were in the pending change status in the correct location as soon as they check in they got a conflict saying that there was a newer version on server. The conflict resolution was to either take the server and lose there changes or pick the local version which in turn moved the element back to old structure. With tha ...Show All

• SQL Server Installing on a Domain Controller

  One last question ( for today)... The recomindation to not install SQL express on a Domain Controller. Is there a specific technical reason or is it just the general don't use the DC has a Terminal server / sql server / application server line of thought The reason I ask is we have been using SQL 2000 on a W2k3 server configured as a DC as well as for Terminal Services.

• Smart Device Development How to access form controls from outside the form class

  Hello, I have got a question that I believe must be quite basic. I am currently working on a project that involves developing an application on a PDA using .Net Compact Framework 2.0 in C#. Here is my problem: After performing the InitializeComponent(), I have to enable many device features such as its barcode scanner, battery status trigger.... . In order to well seperate the view with the buisiness logic, we would not like to write all these "device initialization" codes in the form class but in separate classes. The problem is that some of these initialization methods require to access a form control (e.g. the scanner should display the barcode it reads in a textbox, the battery status should be displayed in a label...).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Smooth movement

  I did a "game" where a ball bounce around the screen. It's running at 60 fps but it isn't a smooth movement. It's an issue from XNA Framework Beta I am working with SpriteBatch class... Try setting the graphics component to run in fullscreen, turn on the Sync to vertical retrace option and check that VSync is turned on in your graphics card drivers. When you have done that, run the game with CTRL + F5, not F5 (or run the .EXE in the release folder), see if that makes any difference. I can shift 2000+ scaled and colour tranformed sprites about on a similar system with absolutely no flicker at all. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Guidance for IErrorHandler

  Hi, I'm looking for some guidance on how I should use the IErrorHandler. I have it configured, and running, but I'm really not sure how to go about getting it to the "right" things. Additionaly, I'm supposed to make it interact with the exception policies (ExceptionPolicy) of EntLib. Thanks Hi Andrew, you can get the structured handling that you're looking for by defining FaultException<T> for various T that you'd like to differentiate (usually you use a class with DataContractAttribute for T and shove your specific fault information in there), then throw those specific classes as needed. Of course, that's not the full story. To make this work with the client side, you'l ...Show All
