• Visual Studio Team System Migrating - TFS beta 2 to TFS: How to go about

  Hi, We have been using TFS beta 2 till now and would like to migrate to the latest TFS release. I have seen few posts in this forum saying that no official migration support is available prior to beta 3. Please suggest how should we go about upgrading from beta 2. What are the steps to follow and things to keep in mind while doing this. Any input in this regard would be a great help for us! Regards, Ajay That's correct -- there's no upgrade script to go from beta 2 to anything newer. You'll need to take the latest versions of all of the files in version control and check them into v1 server. The work item data can be exported, mostly, to Excel and imported into the v1 server.

• Internet Explorer Development Div Scroll behaviour dynamic for screen resolutions

  Hi, I have a menu control in master file and content page is very long with lots of controls in it. Business wants to lock the menu so users can access menu anytime while scrolling. Since i dont want to use frames, i have code to set body's scroll = no at run time and the panel scroll height to say 500px. It works but since the height is hardcoded it looks ugly for different browser resolution. It doesnt work if i set percentage.The container div has lots of nested divs with expand collapse functionality. Is there any way to make height set dynamic based on browser's availheight - menu's clientheight so that panel's bottom is always docked with the bottom of browser window. i.e scroll works same as frames. For eg. http://msdn2.micros ...Show All

• .NET Development Exceptions and Invoke

  Hello, I have found some problems while handling exceptions raised by methods, when the methods where invoked using the ‘Invoke’ method of the Control object. My application is a UI application but some of the UI methods are called from other threads than the thread that handles the UI (cross-thread invoke). For that reason I am using ‘InvokeRequired’ and most of the times Invoke (Synchronous invoke) to call the UI methods. The problem arises when the UI method called this way wants to handle exceptions. If I run the application inside Visual Studio (debug mode) exceptions are caught correctly as expected. If I run the application standalone, exceptions are not caught and the application sho ...Show All

• Visual Basic Word AddToRecentFiles issues with .Net

  I am upgrading an existing VB6 application to VB .Net. The program opens a file in Word but I do not want it listed in the Recent Files. This work fine in VB6. I have found that the file is added when the Save method is processed even though the Open method contained the following code wdDoc = wdApp.Documents.Open(filename:=TextBox1.Text, AddToRecentFiles:=False) I have checked the Save method and there are no additional parameters or settings to prevent the issue.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Creating word template with bookmarks. is this the soloution?

  I need to simulate a report sections in word document. report header section is implemented as word header and footer but how could i simulate detail and group sections. thanks in advance Mmmm. Well, I can't really see any advantage to using VSTO vs. a Windows Forms application, but, in any case... If you're not using VSTO for the special possibilities in the interface (Windows controls, custom task pane, data caching), then the approach required really wouldn't be that different from using PowerBuilder. Get the data from your data source, dump the text into ranges and format it. Do you have any experience programming any Office application using a .NET language Has your client specified what kind of interface ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do reconfigure Visual Studio so I can debug Javascript in IE

  I installed Visual Studio 2005, it registered with IE, and I was able to debug Javascript nicely. However, I installed Microsoft Script Debugger yesterday and it removed Visual Studio 2005 from the debugger list. Needless to say, I think Visual Studio is way superior compared to Script Debugger. Now, the question is, what should I do to reconfigure Visual Studio 2005 so it can be used to debug Javascript I am not sure if this is what you want, but I had to import the web development settings to get the script debugger window to show. In vs2005, go to Tools, (select) import and export settings, (select) Import selected environment settings, click next, save your settings or not and click next, select web development settings, I select ...Show All

• SQL Server Is it possible to disable Poison Message Detection?

  Hi, I'm using the Service Broker to parallize my processes (I know that the Service Broker was not designed for that purpose), however it's working quite well. I use the broker procedure to start procedures which all process all a part of the workload. When the procedure fails because of a lock timeout (or for that concern, for whatever reason), I rollback the transaction (which also roll back my message received on the queue so that it can be retried at a later time.). And this is where my problem lies, if there are 5 sequential rollbacks of messages then the poison message detection kicks in and disables the queue, stopping all the processing. :( Is there a way to disable poison message detection I have implemented my own stop-mechanism ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing Animated Sprites to the Screen

  Hello, I'm writing an RPG-Esque creation tool. And I was wondering what the best way to draw sprites would be. 1.) Draw the sprite from a Raw .gif file. 2.) Create a series of Frames for the sprite and loop through each sprite incrimenting the frame number. I was wondering what the best approach to this is and how to impliment it. The easiest is probably to create a PNG file that has all of your frames in it one after the other, then load it into a Texture2D, and then when doing the SpriteBatch.Draw() call, specify the source rectangle based on the frame you are currently drawing. You should try to avoid creating a seperate image for each, there is a lot of overhead when loading a lot of textures ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Is there a different in VSTO 2007 and VSTO 2005?

  Hi, I just want to ask whether there is a different between VSTO 2005 and VSTO 2005 second edition, such as some objects are available in VSTO 2005 and not in VSTO 2005 second edition. I was writing code in VSTO 2005 second edition and some objects or methods cannot be called and used. Thanks. Yes, the full version of VSTO 2005 is different from VSTO 2005 SE (and neither is "VSTO 2007", which doesn't officially exist - at least, not yet). The SE stands for "second edition". It's an "Add-on" for Visual Studio and can be used with any edition (Standard, Pro, VSTO, Team Studio). It provides a way to create COM Add-ins for six Office applications, both 2003 and 2007 versions. In contrast to Shared A ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dream Build Play Contest Question - Using languages other than C#

  I've managed to use Chrome ( www.remobjects.com ) to create some small XNA demos that use the content from SpaceWars. The rules do not mention whether non C# langauges are allowed to enter the contest. Since there are several .NET 2.0 compatible compilers out there shouldn't this contest allow these entries as well as they can use both the Windows and XBox 360 XNA assemblies. Just to clarify, I have Visual C# Express and Game Studio Express installed on my machine, but am using Chrome via Visual Studion 2005 to write and compile my XNA demos and the plan is to use that combination to write future XNA games and contest entries. Could someone from the XNA contest team please clarify your position on the use of non C# languages for the Dream ...Show All
