• Smart Device Development GPRS Connect at Startup

  Hi again (again), Last question, I promise. I'm looking to start the GPS up wen the device starts. I don't mind changing hte registry for this, or doing it programatically. All the stuff I have found is either for C#, or the registry info doesn't exist in my phone. Once again, any help would be very appreciated. Cheers, Dan. I thought Connection Manager was a C# class. I tried to implement it in my code, and it just refused to recognise it. I added the header, ad<something>.h, which didn't seem to work. Googling it, I foudn something about jagpublic.h. I didn't see mention of this in the MSDN Library though. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Test Dll.config/App.config in TFS build process

  Hi, We have a lot of unit tests converted from NUnit and these unit test use Dll.config files. The converted unit tests run successfully in IDE, but when I created a build type from TFS Team Build. The build type runs fine for compiling but fails in the Unit Test step. Searching the trn file, I found out the file path defined in the app.config file can not be retrieved in the unit tests assembly. Can anyone tell me how to use app.config in the build process I also would like to know where the tests run during the build process (in Build Machine or in the Drop machine). Thanks. It should work normally, as when you run them in your machine, can you check the app.config is correctly in source control , abo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System source language

  Hello, does somebody know if it is possible to determine, if a particular assembly was created from a cpp file Or, more generally, to determine in which language the sources were written I thought i could get the information from the sourceContext.Document.Language (or by analysing the filename) but it seems not to work properly (or I'm trying to do it the wrong way). However the Document object is allways null (Pdb's are there).  Best regards, Anton Papst. CCI (the binary reader FxCop uses) was orginally designed to raise AST's from source file, however, FxCop only uses the binary reader, SourceContext.Document.Language is not used (or known). I believe this has been ripped in ...Show All

• Windows Forms Item cannot be added to a read-only or fixed-size list

  I have a dataset with two tables that I want to populate. I have a BindingSource for each table. I can add to the parent table via the BindSrc1.Add() no problem. If I open an existing record, where I have at least one row in the parent table and 0-* rows in the child table, I can also add rows to my child table via BindSrc2.Add(), no problem. The way I add to the child table is, I display the child records in a DataViewGrid, but to add, I open an dialog box for data entry. This works fine, as I said, when there is an existing parent record already existing (in database). the problem occurs when I want to create a new parent AND child record at the same time. I add my parent row to the BindSrc1, no problem. When I attempt to add to child ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help an old school guy out!

  Hey, I've started using the Visual Basic 2005 Express edition stuff. and I have a question. I can get the GUI to do a lot of things and its awesome.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom sequence activity: Collapsed by default?

  Hi, I've write a custom activty that inherits from SequenceActivity. This activity is composed of two sub activities: handlexternalevent and callexternalmethod I would like that my custom activity looks like a basic activity (collapsed) and I don't want that, when the user drops the custom activity on a workflows, he sees the two sub activity. Any idea must be easy but i didn't find the trick. thx! Antoine If you derive from ActivityDesigner (as suggested earlier) instead of Sequential Activity Designer, then you're composite will look like any of the built in activities. I.E., you won't have to collapse it. You can also then add an ActivityDesignerTheme to control background and foreground color to set y ...Show All

• SQL Server IE7 and SSRS Document Map

  The contents of document maps do not appear since I upgraded to IE7. They still appear for users on IE6. Reporting Services version is SQL2000. Have looked all over - this problem has been reported in a number of places but there seems to be no response / fix / work-around from MS. Can anyone help or at least comment It seems the bar is high enough that this one won't be fixed, at least if the reply from connect is accurate.

• .NET Development DllImport of 32-Bit dlls

  Hi guys, I am a real newbie on 64-Bit progr. so my question might sound a little stupid. I have a VB.NET project which refered to a 32-Bit dll via COM-Interop.
