• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums VBA Userform Control of multiple userform controls

  I have built a data entry VBA application in Excel so we can input data electronically instead of manually on paper only. I created a series of Userforms to display one at a time to "walk thru" the test procedure and allow entry of the data for one section at a time. The problem I have is that I am trying to use the standard form controls "frmTest.Hide" or "Unload Me" when done with the forms. Then if I wish to redisplay one or more of the forms for re-entry use "Load frmTest" and/or just frmtest.Show if old form just hidden. I am seeing that the old forms are not hiding or unloading and worse when I try to redisplay with either the "Load frmTest" if previously unloaded and "frmTest.show" I get a VBA error that it cannot display ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System False Positive for rule CA1062 ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods

  I'm getting false positive hits for the CA1062 ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods rule. Here's a code sample that consistently throws a false positive: public object GetFirstValue( DataTable table) { if (table == null || table.Count == 0) return null ; return table.Rows[0][0]; } I use this style of validation check quite regularly. Are there plans to update the rule or is there a hot fix Thanks Lee Lee, This is a known false positive. Unfortunately, to be able to fix this rule to handle this situation would require a complete rewrite - something that won't make it into a hot fix or service pack. We do however, plan on improving on this rule in future Visual Studio/FxCop re ...Show All

• SQL Server Replication Error

  I found a problem in replication which we have 3 tables, namely tab A, tab B and tab C replication will apply on tab A and tab B and there is a trigger on tab A and tab B, whenever insert/update on tab A it fires trigger to update tab b whenever insert/update on tab B it fires trigger to update tab C And I found the replication error from tab A on updating tab C. If I manually insert the row, it works fine..... Any advise Thanks in advance! No, actually, the column 'amount_id' is defined as 'not null'. While inserting the row into tab A, it fires the trigger and check the conditions in tab b, and then insert the row into tab c. However, I found the 'amount_id' is defined in the trigger and shouldn't be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Performing a GET of 2 different labels

  Hi All, I have a bit of a dilemna. During the course of my Enterprise Build, I need to retrieve all of the source code in the current workspace by the label "NextBuild". This label is updated by the Dev Leads when they want to get their projects into the big build. That's not the problem, I have that part working. The problem is that I have all of my build solutions, setup projects and third-party assemblies under the "BuildMaster" label. When I GET the code for the NextBuild label, the local workspace is sync'd with the code at that label. I then GET the BuildMaster label and it is also sync'd, unfortunately, the code in the NextBuild label is not in the BuildMaster label so the whole build gets hosed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) svcutil and shared types

  Hi I have written a WCF service that uses a DataContract. I own both the server and the client. I wrote the DataContract class in a common assembly that will be referenced by both my client and the server. I was hoping that when i use /r: option in svcutil.exe, the tool will not generate the code for the shared types (the DataContract classes) that are in the shared assembly. But what i see is that it always generate the DataContract classes even if i use /r. Is this expected.
