Visual Studio Team System Retire a branch
What is the proper way to retire a branch in TFS I know we can lock the branch, but that doesn't remove it from the explorer. If we delete the branch, will it not lose its merge history Thanks, Filip Stanek Deleting a branch doesn’t lose merge history, no. You can always undelete. But deleting doesn’t accomplish much anyway. It doesn’t free up database space, obviously. Many people will have “show deleted items” turned on in VS so it won’t even disappear from view, merely change color. My recommendation is find a naming scheme for your branches that will scale with typical use. Eg if you create & retire lots of branches all the time, don’t stick them at the top of the tree where everyone has to scroll past them; if y ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista IExtendedUIService implementation
Context: I'm re-hosting the designer in a winforms application. I use a propertygrid to set parameters on selected activities. Upon reading several posts I was able to enable the smart tags for activity validation errors. The glyphs, and context menu show up fine. I'm able to capture context menu click events. Now I would like to navigate my users to the offending activity or property. Question: Does anyone have an example implementation of IExtendedUIService If you're unable to post the entire implementation I'm particularly interested in the 'IExtendedUIService.NavigateToProperty' method. Thanks, Don Hi Don, It depends on what you're trying to do here. You could simply retu ...Show All
Internet Explorer Development Any Ideas on why this may be crashing????
I have been using jClientUpload for a couple of years it has worked well. I "upgraded" to IE7.0 and it crashes as soon as I navigate to a page with upload applet. I have licence for jClientUpload and upgraded V1.8 and JRE 1.5.0. It works fine in IE6.0 and Firefox/1.5.0.7. The error I get from IE7.0 is "Runtime Error! Program C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe abnormal program termination". So it seems to be a problem with IE7.0. Has anyone else seen this or have a work around Yes. I had similar problem with applet inclusion HTML & JavaScript with IE 7. The sun applet generator template that I chose is no longer recommended. It is the one that used to have broadest suppo ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Inprocess Chanel
Does anyone know if there is a sample of using WCF to create an inprocess class. I am not sure as to whether i would need to create a custom channel, transport etc. The reason for needing this is we would like to be able to use a service in our code that initially is inprocess and therefore has no overhead of the WCF stack\layers. But in future be able to scale the class out to a full distrubuted architecture. My thought on this was to have a custom chanel\transport to achieve this. Does anyone know if this is possible or am i barking up the wrong tree on this one and need to create a layer\service infront of WCF to acheieve this DotNetDave wrote: we would like to be able to use a service in ...Show All

SQL Server Confusing timeout; bug in deleting cubes and dimensions?
Hi, I got this error when I deploy a mining model. -- Error 1 OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: The query has been canceled because the estimated cost of this query (628) exceeds the configured threshold of 300.

Visual Basic Error from custom control & ToolStrip problem
I have created a Custom control, containing 4 masked text boxes.and most times when i build it, i get a error: "InvalidArgument=Value of '-2147483648' is not valid for row position.'

I also have a problem with my Tool strip. The tool strip on the top works well, but the one i placed in a table layout panel, is missing from view, it only appears in Design view when i select it from the bottom strip.

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Calling "transactional web services" within a series of database update calls - is Indigo the only way?
SCENARIO Suppose I call the following method in a ServicedComponent: public void DoMixedUpdates() { DoDBUpdateA(); DoDBUpdateB(); CallWebService1ToDoDBUpdateC(); CallWebService2ToDoDBUpdateD(); DoDBUpdateE(); DoDBUpdateF(); } All 6 calls perform DB updates but the middle 2 calls call "plain old" ASMX web services that each then call a component that performs DB update C and DB update D.

Visual C# call constructor of base class
hi! What's the correct syntax to call the constructor of the base class of a class Take a look at the following example. I want myClass1 to have a parameter-less contstructor which will call the constructor of myClass2 passing a hard-coded parameter value. What should I write in place of the question marks public class myClass1: myClass2 { public myClass1 { } } public class myClass2 P { public myClass2 ( int myParam) { } } The theoretical approach seem logical to me. The only thing I would argue about would be the existance of a theoritical approach to OOP at ...Show All

Visual C++ Inlining with /EHsc
I found that compiler (VC++ 2005 Pro) not inlining some functions/operators when using /EHsc flag and you have an empty destructor in class. class vector3 { public: vector3(); vector3(const vector3& vec); vector3(float x, float y, float z); ~vector3() {} // if remove this compiler will inline operator+. // some code }; inline vector3 operator+(const vector3& a, const vector3& b) { return vector3(a.x + b.x, a.y + b.y, a.z + b.z); } Can somebody explain this behavior I looked at this again, and I still cannot give you anything definitive. Here's my best guess. operator+ is creating a temporary object. Suppose during or af ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Supporting WCF Services through Activities

The Adapter is a custom activity with a generic connectivity layer based on the Interface contract and target endpoint, therefore it can be used for native connectivity such as remote object, wcf service, wse, etc. Thanks Roman ...Show All
