• Visual Studio Team System CMMIParams.XML

  Customizing MSF Process Guidance, Part 6: Building HTML Content Pages with MSFWinBuild describes use of CMMIParams.xml as a command line parameter for MSFWinBuild. I've exported the CMMI method from Foundation Server and also looked in the source version of the CMMI Method but can't find this file. Please can someone advise where I should be looking for an example file. Thanks, David Thanks for that but it turns out that having CMMIParams.xml is not the complete solution. MSFWinBuild does not work successfully with the file ProcessGuidanceMap.XML provided as part of the most recent MSF CMMI download. I've been provided with an updated version by a Microsoft UK contact and after 5 hours at ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005: No Command.BeforeExecute event when checking out from Team System

  Hi We recently migrated from Source Safe to Team System. As you may know, Team System does not get a latest version when checking out. So I wanted to write an add-in that listens to the before execute event of the CheckOut command. All the CheckOut events are raised, Except for one. If you start typeing in a file that is under source control and is not checked out, Visual Studio opens a prompt window where you can check out the file. (I have the option always ask for exclusive checkout enabled.) At that moment, I'm listening to every BeforeExecute event, but there is not one event that is raised by Visual Studio. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction Many thanks in advance Hi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to migrate word template from vsto 2005 to vsto 2005 se ?

  Hi So I downloaded vsto 2005 se and installed it on my dev notebook and now I would like to make my word template ( http://www.codeplex.com/THBAuthoring ) working on both Word 2003 and Word 2007. How can I do that Thanks VSTO 2005 SE is extending the existing set (document level add-ins) with the application level add-ins and provides some fixes for the existing codebase. Basically the message is that VSTO 2005 customizations (document level add-ins) still work for Office 2007 so you should be fine with what you already have. -= Maarten =- ...Show All

• .NET Development Width of a field in characters

  Two parts to this question:- 1)How do I find the number of characters that will fit in a given width with a fixed font I am looking for something like static int WidthInCharacters( int width-in-pixels , Font fixedFont) 2) For a variable length font I was looking for: static int Width(string some_text , Font anyFont) I have trolled through help and google. The answer must be there but it either slipped through my net or I was fishing in the wrong pool. Try using TextRenderer.MeasureText(). For a fixed-width font, you could use: static int WidthInCharacters(int pixels, Font fnt) { Size sz = TextRenderer.MeasureText("x", fnt); return pixels / sz.Width; } ...Show All

• Visual Basic Change the SMTP server address in Outlook using VB.Net

  I'm not sure if this is possible. I have been asked by the sales team to supply an easier way to set the SMTP server address in Outlook. The problem I have is the Isp's they use as they move around vary and they have to change the SMTP server address in outlook before they can send e-mails.. Is there a way to change this in VB.net so I could then write a program to change it based on the location they are in I have not found a programming way to do this but can offer a solution. Use the profiles feature of outlook. You can create different profiles with different email settings and have all the profiles point to the same data files. You get asked which profile you want to use when you first op ...Show All

• SQL Server Test - populating tables with dummy data

  In 2000, BCP seemed the way to go. DTS packages would also work. My question is, in 2005, what is the best choice I seem to remember that BCP ignored all referential integrity constraints, and applying them afterwords was a royal pain. I'm not a BCP expert by any means. Running this at the command line means using the DOS prompt correct What is 2005's answer to this No one answered this question, how do people normally insert dummy data into tables I mean, where does the data typically come from what process is used to insert the data Note: This is for testing purposes, eventually to be tested in a Web-based front-end which I know nothing about. thx, Kat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System BUG?: Source control explorer/checkin asks to save/checkout inappropriate file

  I have a solution loaded that I may have (or may not have made changes to the solution file) - (It didn't ask me to checkout before now... so I don't think I did). I went to source control explorer and checked out a word doc that was not in the solution. I edited it and went to checkin, both from the SCE and the pending checkins window it asks me if I want to save the solution file and gives me Yes, No, Cancel. If I say Yes, it asks me to checkout (which I don't want/need to do and should not be required since the file is unrelated.) If I answer No it doesn't save and doesn't checkin. If I answer cancel it doesn't do anything either. This seems like a significant issue as due to the integration in the IDE I can't work on i ...Show All
