• Visual Studio Team System Can't delete folder from the Source Control (get the folder on gray)

  Hi, I get sometimes very weird error when I'm trying to delete some folder from the source control. I get the folder on gray and I can't update the source control window to show me the source control tree without this folder. I tried to do many things to solve this problem - refresh the page, close and open the IDE but nothing really helped, the only thing that really helped me was to sign - in as tfssetup and then to delete again the problematic folder and get entrance again as default user. Just to mention that I am administrator on this machine. Can any one explain why does it happen Thanks in advance, Do you have the "show deleted items" option turned on (Tools -> ...Show All

• Visual C++ Incorporating Excel VBA code into a native C++ project (mixed assembly, VBA to visual basic migration, C++ interop)

  Good afternoon, I have a bunch of Excel VBA code that I need to incorporate into my VS 2005 C++ project. As I have not done anything remotely like this before any help is appreciated. The C++ project is a full windows application that processes a large amount of data; it generates .csv files that are loaded into excel upon which the VBA code is executed. This loop needs to be closed. I want to run the VBA code from within my multi-threaded C++ application. The VBA code was developed independantly from my C++ code so the less I have to touch it the better. I relieze I will probably have to migrate the VBA code to visual basic for performance reasons and I have been reading about those differences (excel is totally unnecesary) ...Show All

• .NET Development Accepting multiple requests in server socket

  Hi, I want my server socket to accept mutiple requests arriving simultaneously. How can I acheive this Thanks very much Hi, The term "simultaniously" is suspecious in your question, What exactly you mean by that If its really about simultanious connection accptance by socket then Rizwan is right in his answer, If you wished to ask that, accepting requests ASYNCHRONOUSLY (your main thread dont stop anywhere and executes the statements and become free without worrying about the connection accepting process so your applicaiton will not hang on Accept method. So in this case, .Net has good enought apis for asynchronous operations and in your case, it will be "BeginAccept&q ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Time Zone problem in Vista

  Hi, For earlier versions of windows (Win NT and 9X) we were using " index " key at " HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Time Zones " to maintain a unique (language-independent) identifier. But it seems that in Vista this key has been removed. Why Even if that key is removed do you people have any unique ID (that is language-independent) through which we can positively identify a time zone. Regards Sid Internal sources say that the TZ key name is the * only * language independent way to identify the TZ ...Show All

• Visual Basic FileNotFoundException on some machines

  Hello, I have a VB.Net program that has been loaded on a number of different computers and all works well. On a few machines the user gets "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name AxInterop.MSComctlLib, or one of its dependencies, was not found" I checked my Deployment project and the dll and all dependencies are included and refer to the default application directory. Any ideas why some machines have this problem Thanks, Chris It looks like on of the assemblies you are using as a reference to comctrl32.dll via COM interop. Try copying and registering comctrl32.dll on those machines and see if that fixes the problem. -Scott Wisnewsiki ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom check-in policy

  Hi all, I'm currently investigating custom check-in policies. I've got the basic structure of one up and running. So far so good. What I would like to do is check the item that is being checked-in to see if it conforms to certain internal coding standards. To do that I need to look inside the file itself - I will then probably use XQuery to look at the contents of it. Anyway, my question is, how can I actually take a look inside the item The pendingChange object provides useful information such as the name of the file being checked-in, but it doesn't contain the path of the file. If it did then I could probably instantiate it as an XML document. Any pointers would be very much welcomed. -Jamie Hey jamie ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions HOw to refill a database?
