• Visual Studio Team System How to control policy evaluation?

  I have a custom policy that forces users to provide comments on changesets (standard example). The problem is that if it fails and after that user provides a comment policy doesn't evaluate again and has to be forced to do it. How can I track it and evaluate this policy after each change of comment Marcin There is not a built-in mechanism for invoking policy evaluation whenever the comment changes. In fact, it may be really bad to even support that evaluation trigger because of the possibility of too frequent changes. My recommendation is to track the comment text in your policy implementation and detect for changes between evaluations. Hope this helps. -Tan ...Show All

• Visual C++ First Execution Only...

  Hi, I've been trying to tell my new program to check for a specific condition (whether it is the first execution or not), but I'm having quite a bit of trouble. In fact, it's driving me insane. I spent almost all of last night trying to get this right, but it simply will not work the way I want it to. I've asked a huge number of people for help on message boards across the net, and nobody has been willing to help me fix it. So this is my last chance. PLEASE help me. Anyways, here's what I have so far, see if you can fix it and point out what I'm doing wrong: Prototype : int Config (int firstrun); Cut from main() : int firstrun; Config(firstrun); int temp1 = 1; int temp2 = 0; if (firstrun == temp1) { cou ...Show All

• SQL Server Does Replication Use Compression?

  Does SQL Server replication impliment any kind of compression It seems to me that this would be very helpful for congested WAN links and costly merge replication. Compression seems like it should be a given, I hope MS decides to add this. For our situation, we have large amounts of data changes and while the connections are reliable, they may not always be ultra fast. The doc quoted states that it can make use of the compression provided by the protocol, does that mean you could you use gzip ...Show All

• Visual Studio 3 Bugs

  I have come across 3 bugs, or at least I believe they are bugs, so I thought I would post them here, see if others are getting them, see if they are known problems etc... 1) First print job fails. My app is setup with a lable printer as the default printer. The other types of printing I do is stuff like invoices, which is printed to a standard HP laserjet. Every time you go to print to the non-label printer the first print job just never happens. So basically the staff is trained to print everything 2 times to get it to print. 2) Print Dialog doesn't have focus( ) I have seen this in other reportviewer apps too. You click the print icon, and your next click... on the print dialog window to do something like select the printer you ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to keep a Popup aligned with a Control

  My scenario is the following: I want to show a Popup below a TextBox for giving help informations. The problem is that the (opened) Popup stays at the same location when i move the parent Window or the TextBox (through animation). My question: Is it possible to keep the Popup aligned with the TextBox so that it stays below the TextBox even if i move the window Through databinding or something like that (A tooltip is not an option for me.) Well as I have read other posts and help files, I have come to the conclusion there is no other way to do it but manually. You will have to use the Popup's .HorizontalOffset and .VerticalOffset properties in conjunction with the container/window  that is being "moved/dragged". &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions MessageBox Centering

  Is there a way in VisualBasic 2005 to bring up a message box centered related to my application, rather than centered relative to the entire screen I'm using 1280 x 1024 screen and my application (with a fixed size) doesn't cover the entire screen. Most of the times, my application window is closer to one of the edges of the screen and its message boxes pop up away from my application, in the middle of the screen. Thanks in advance for any tips. I've been toying with this for a while. Can't say I'm thrilled about the result but it does give you a centered message box. The idea is that I start searching for a message box when the form loses activation when it is taken over by the message box. Unfortu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System A client application for Team Foundation?

  Hello guys, Is there any client application (besides teamprise) that can be used to connect to a VSTFS database and checkin - checkout files I have some css files on my web applications which need to be changed by a designer, but this is not a common task, we don't do it everytime. Therefore, we are trying to avoid having to Install Visual Studio on their machines just for that. Teamprise is just to expensive. Do you know another tool Maybe a free one Thanks And it is worth noting that if you have a CAL for TFS then you can install the Team Explorer client on your machine. If there is no version of Visual Studio 2005 installed on that machine then it will install a basic VS2005 shell on th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Specifying XmlSerializer during Add Service Reference in Visual Studio

  Visual Studio makes it easy to consume a service wsdl information with the use of Add Service Reference context menu. However generated type code is using the DataContract attributes. Is there a way to specify types to be generated with XmlSerializer format within the visual studio environment I know that I can use the SvcUtil with serializer option to do this. Just wondering if there is a way to do this in the visual studio. Thanks. As i know,They are using same API svcutil is using,i think we can't intercept that command,if we want,we can write visual studio add-in for this. juval wrote some tool to explore the meta data,this tool may give some idea http://www.idesign.net/idesign/DesktopDefault.aspx tabindex=5&tabid=11 ...Show All
