• Visual Studio Team System Running Batch Files on all Agent Machines

  I want to execute a set of batch files ( clean up tasks) in all the agent machines before starting off with the actual Unit / Load Test cases. 1) Is there any API for getting the list of used agents for the current environment setup 2) Is there a command / setting to specify list of batch commands to execute before starting off any tests in agent machines. Thanks, Loonysan Hi Loonysan For #1, I don't think there is an API for that, but you could always create your own environment variable that lets your test know about them For #2, in the localtestrun.testrunconfig, there is a tab called "Setup and Cleanup Scripts", you can use that Thanks, David Gorena Elizondo [MSFT] VSTS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB.net2003 or Vb.net2005

  Hi, A final project has been assigned to me in which I've to make an online application for the courier systems, it should have a reporting system and show the entries contained in the DB, there is a requirement to make it in .Net2003 but I've recently heared about Vb.net2005 or VBE which is the latest .net version of VB and also has an IDE by which an interface can be made easily. Here I should mention, I've never worked in .net but I used VB6 so I don't know about VB.net yet, and the time is very short I've to make the interface within a month or so.Please tell me, whether it is good to use VB2005 express edition and learn vb.net code simulateneously or should I jump into vb.net programming and forget about VBE.I prefer VBE cuz it ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) HOW TO REMOVE runtime WCF?

  Hi all! I'd like to install netFx3.0 but it seems I have WCF installed on my machine, I've tried to search in contrl panel but it isn't. I've had the beta version and uninstalled it some days ago. in which way I could solve the problem there are some registry keys or files, I have to remove TIA for any question about it. Dario I've had countless configuration problems resulting from beta WCF components.  Expendable or Virtual PCs are always recommended for installations of beta software.  Remember the product is neither finalized nor released yet, and won't be for several months. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Who has a PPC-6700 Sprint AudioVox Mobile 5 (Can I use GPS?)

  I have the Sprint AudioVox PPC-6700 and I know that it has the built in GPS chipset but everywhere that I search I can not find out how to actually access the API. There are a few of the GPS API references throughout msdn & msdn2 but none have an actual walk through. It is very easy to access the phone API's and contact lists/appointments and whatnot but the GPS is not to be found. As far as the GPS is conserned one could argue that it isn't ment to be programmed or something but the fact is that in all documentation it says that e911 can use the gps and also applications that need your location (such as movie times or resteraunts in your location). I really need to find out how to manage this out even with just a simple quord ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) PolyBezierSegment problem

  Hi! I'm developing an application that shows some paths on a map using a PolyBezierSegment. I have some control points (the points from PolyBezierSegment) that have a start time and a duration. I want that a point to move along the PolyBezierSegment to the next point during that duration using the PathGeometry.GetPointAtFractionLength function. I need to know at which fraction the animation should start and at which it should end, or better said, at which fraction of the total length a point is . Maybe you should look at the image to have a better ideea. View image Thanks in advance! Good question. WPF unfortunately doesn't offer a "compute length" function, which seems to be what you need her ...Show All

• Visual C# Domino/Lotus Notes automation problem: _COMPlusExceptionCode = -532459699 error

  Hi I'm sending email using Lotus Notes by referencing "Lotus Domino Objects" (v1.1) via COM in C#. This has been working successfully on my machine for several weeks (both in the ide and compiled versions). However this is not working on several machines in production. I keep getting a _COMPlusExceptionCode = -532459699 error. The exception is thrown whenever I try to create the NotesSession Domino. NotesSession notes = new Domino.

It would seem to be an environmental problem, but I've spent the last few hours scouring the net for an answer and am still no closer to a solution. Has anyone come across this before Thanks in adv ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development How can we make an ActiveX control interact with a USB controller?

  I am attempting to write an ActiveX control that will play an audio file while accepting commands from a USB-connected foot pedal. The USB foot pedal dll is a unmanaged, non COM-compliant dll that requires p/invoke to be used from .NET. How can I use an unmanaged DLL inside an ActiveX control I need this to work with Vista and IE7. I am replying to my own post in case somebody else has a similar question. To use an unmanaged .dll in an .NET ActiveX control, you must pre-install the .dll to the C:\Windows\System32 directory. COM+ and .NET dependencies will be downloaded automatically. Your ActiveX control will need full trust, so you have two options: Give the containing zone permissions to run full trus ...Show All
