• Visual Studio Team System Cannot run Team Edition for Database Professionals if not local admin?

  Hi there, It's very annoying at our work, but we are not local admins on our machine while logged into the domain. We do have Administrator rights only when we log in as local Administrator to the machine. So when I install the CTP, I execute the setup under the local Admin account, and it installs fine, and runs fine when logged in locally. But, when logged into the domain, it does not show up as an installed product under Help -> About. I do not have this problem with any other product ie I have the BI studio, team edition developer, team edition tester, etc running fine. Any thoughts on how to get the ctp to install and run properly for me Will this work in the future Because if it doesn't we have to go buy a few licenses of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What are the steps for Load testing using NUNIT testcases?

  Hello, I have installed Team Suite and i am trying for Load Testing using NUNIT Test Cases that we have prepared. What are the steps for Load testing using NUNIT testcases Do we have Cool Down Time in Team Suite If 'YES' How to set it Thanks, Riti You could just convert your NUNIT cases to VSTS unit tests using the NUnit converter here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jamesnewkirk/archive/2005/06/24/432485.aspx and use those in your load test No - there is no explicit "cooling time" in load tests really, but I assume what you want to do in the cool time is reduce number of users accessing the system gradually, right ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. What is the meaning of loadAllContent?

  I'm not sure I understand the meaning of the parameter loadAllContent to the function Game.LoadGraphicsContent. According to the documentation it is: "true if all graphics resources need to be loaded; false if only manual resources need to be loaded." But what are manual resources Thanks in advance, Per Rasmussen. Two code examples provided in the XNA Documentation have seriously obfuscated my understanding of manual vs. automatic resources. In the "Graphics" section of the XNA Docs, under "3D Graphics", the two examples are "How to: Create and Apply Custom Effects" and "How to: Draw Points, Lines, and Other 3D Primitives." Here is the LoadGraphicsContent method from the former example ...Show All

• Windows Forms System.Windows.Forms.Message in C#

  I created a message with: "Message msg = Message .Create(( IntPtr )iAsyncResult.AsyncState, WM_CUSTOMMSG, ( IntPtr ) null , ( IntPtr ) null );" How do I send it Thanks The Message structure is used for the encapsulation of received messages. There's nothing to actually "send" it. You'd have to PInvoke [Send|Post]Message, possibly like: void SendMessage(ref Message msg) { UnsafeNativeMethods.SendMessage(msg.HWnd, msg.Msg, msg.WParam, msg.LParam); } ...Show All

• Windows Forms Window shrinking on restore.

  I'm using Visual C# 2005 Express to make a windows forms application. The application works fine but when I added some user settings to keep track of the window size and position, the window shrinks to no size when the window is restored. If I start the application, resize the window, and close it, it will remember its size and position on restart. When I minimize the window and then restore it, however, it briefly returns to it's original size (a fraction of a second) and then resizes itself to have no client area at all. I can then manually resize it to it's original size. What is going on Thanks for any help. Bob The only code I wrote is this: private void MainForm_FormClosed( object sender, FormClosedE ...Show All

• Visual C++ Managed C++ - Problem reading registry

  I'm trying to read/write from the registry in a managed C++ dll thats part of my program. I followed the MS example found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bwt6b955(VS.80).aspx Anyways, I'm trying to initially check if the HKLM\Software\RTO key exists. The problem I'm running into is the if statement doesn't catch that rk isn't valid. Why " Lastly, I wonder why MS would have a broken example up, since that RegistryKey^ nk = rk->CreateSubKey( "Settings" ); does a deference on something that doesn't exist." Except that your code is not the same as the MS sample code, in the MS sample you have something like: if (!rk) { ... return; // because of return the ...Show All
