• Visual Studio Team System Unit Testing Change

  In CTP3 I can create a unit test for a stored procedure by right click on the sproc in the list of Schema Objects. In CTP4 this functionallity is missing (at least on my install). Should I be able to see the 'Create Unit Tests...' menu option on the context menu for a sproc One other thing I've noticed (that may be related) is that in CTP3 the sprocs show as dbo.SprocName while in CTP4 they show as SprocName.sproc.sql (i.e. the file name is shown rather than the name of the stored procedure) To make this work in CTP4 do the following: 1) Select your database project in the Solution Explorer. 2) Select View | Other Windows | Schema View 3) Expand the nodes until your find a stored procedure, right-click and there is Create ...Show All

• Visual C++ <windows.h> Interferes with System::IO::Directory::GetCurrentDirectory();

  Including windows.h in a managed project overrides System::IO::Directory::GetCurrentDirectory();, which is very annoying: rootFolder = System::IO::Directory::GetCurrentDirectory(); //'GetCurrentDirectoryW' : is not a member of 'System::IO::Directory' How can this be prevented This seems to be the only function in wondows.h that gets confused with System::... If you do not need the GetCurrentDirectory function from windows.h , maybe you can just un-define it: #include <windows.h> #undef GetCurrentDirectory I hope this makes sense. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development FileStream Write Timeout Read Exception

  It appears from the help file that the FileStream class has an accessible "WriteTimeout" property. The write path for the file is the flash (SD) card on the device. I wrote some test code using standard FileStream and Binary Writer objects to check what the default timeout was and came up with the exception listed at the foot of this message in response to the code below. The code is for a Pocket PC under the .Net Compact Framework 2.0. Why are timeouts not supported on this stream Do I need to override the "CanTimeout" property to work around this Is it because the target device is a flash memory card Note that there does seem to be some kind of inherent timeout occurring (I haven't measured it exactly but its over ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Power management and network applications

  Hello, I am trying to understand the affect on socket based network applications when the system moves into S3 state. Would the transition in and out of S3 be seamless for these applications (assuming ofcourse that the wake on LAN/wake on wlan driver/firmware keeps the "other end" happy. As an extension to this question: Are network interfaces brought down before the system is taken to S3 Any reading material/white papers that discuss this Are there any tools that I may be able to run to check the behavior Preliminary investigation on my end indicates that messenger type applications are happy (as long as the Wake on interface keeps the other end happy). But I wanted to know if this is by design on Windows. Is this be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office BMP for Licensing Add-Ins?

  If I am a VSTO solution developer, how do I ensure that my customers do not deploy more copies of the add-in I have sold to them Thanks, Tad There is no direct support and as such the only way would be to use a kit like suggested and or write a simple security mechanism that validates a license such as through a webservice call, remembering the privacy and or network access. As it is a vsto template you are able to get access to the local machine if needed to ask for validation of the license key as such. I can hear your cry for a standard to help on this though.

• Visual Studio Generate C# 2005 project files

  Hello, I am looking forward to manage some C# projects programatically. Precisely, I am generating C# files and I want them to be added and removed from their projects on-the-fly. It would be very useful to add VSS checkin and checkout compatibility in the process. To achieve this, I think have to be able to at least generate C# projects as well. What is the most efficient way to write these files Is VS 2005 SDK suitable for that task It would be very nice if I could use a method that offers maximal compatibility with future versions of Visual Studio. Thanks! Marc Lacoursiere RooSoft Computing The imported project "[...]\VisualStudioCustomTool\bin\Debug\Microsoft.CSharp.tar ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Import Xml to SQL database

  Hello I know I have been asking abut this befor do not want to be rude but now I have a more spefic question. How can I, in the easiest way, import an SQL-Exported XML-file to the SQL Database again Is there a automized way of doing this, or do I need to identify each element and then import this to the database, or is there a more generic way of doing this Thank you for all your help and tips. You can load XML into DataSet then put DataSet's content into any ADO.Net compatible database using respective DataAdaper. If you XML is big you probably should parse XML yourself and put it in record by record. By the way, that was discussed quite a few times before: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.p ...Show All
