• Visual Studio Team System Test Manager Window not available VSTE for Software Developers?

  I have installed the release version of Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers and can no longer find the Test Manager Window menu item.  I see Tests View, Test Results, etc.   Is this a feature that is not included in this version Earlier today Ekobit ( www.ekobit.com ) released “ Test Manager Add-In for Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers ”. This Add-In makes it possible for developers to manage the lists of tests, build hierarchies and execute tests from the Team Edition for Software Developers just the way they would be able to do using the Test Manager window if they had Team Suite. Being a VSIP package, Test Manager Add-In is seamlessly integr ...Show All

• SQL Server framework 1.1 update + ssmse: get warning!?

  Hello, friends, here is my problem: I installed sql server express on a naked Windows xp pro with SP2; of course, framework 2.0 installed, and MS-installer 3.1 installed as well. I also installed ssmse. Everything worked fine. Then I installed all windows updates via Windows Update in internet. Now suddenly, when starting ssmse, I get a Warning Textbox with Header "Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express", then the yellow triangle with the exklamation mark, but NO TEXT AT ALL, and the OK-button. So unfortunately, I do not know what to do. Only thing I found out was, that in all updates, the culprit surely is framework 1.1 update. Before installing this, everything worked fine, afterwards, well, see above. When I click the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Compilers: Visual Studio Vs Turbo C++ for DOS version 1.01

  Hi I have a code that compiles using Turbo C++ for DOS version 1.01 from http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21751,00.html What is that I need to do so that it cmpiles on Visual Studio as well When I tried it needed some *.h files.

  Hi, I have a render target set up as: screenBuffer = new Texture2D(graphics.GraphicsDevice, 1280, 720, 1, ResourceUsage.RenderTarget, SurfaceFormat.Color, ResourcePool.Default); When the back buffer is set to 1280,720 (the same size as the render target) the code below works and the screen displays a blue background as expected. //Set device to render target graphics.GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(0, screenBuffer.GetSurfaceLevel(0)); graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Blue); //Set the render target to the back buffer graphics.GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(0, graphics.GraphicsDevice.GetBackBuffer(0, 0)); graphics.GraphicsDevice.Clear(Color.Gray); //copy the (scaled) screen buff ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Missing TFS Reports

  I can't seem to find the Exit Criteria, Fix and Fix Bug Rates, and Quality vs Velocity reports when I create a project or download a process template. These reports are listed on the TFS product page as available reports with TFS RTM. Our setup is TFS RTM from a B3R installation. I checked the B3R process templates, and it did not possess the noted reports either. Should these reports be available with the install of TFS RTM Dennis,   Thanks for your reply.   The noted reports are missing from projects that were created pre and post RTM migration. It's simple to upload the reports if I could find the RDL for the missing reports. When I dl the process templates for CMMI or Agile 4.0, the not ...Show All

• Windows Forms VS2005 MyApplication_Shutdown not getting fired.

  We are developing windows application in VS2005 (VB.Net). I have placed resource clearing and audit entry in the "MyApplication_Shutdown" event. But this event is not getting fired when our application exits. When I tired with the sample application, in our system it works fine. I don't know whether I have disabled any setting so that this event does get fired. Note: I have checked application framework checkbox in application settings. Looking at the WindowsFormsApplicationBase class, the Shutdown event is fired right after Application.Run() exits. Not seeing this event means that Application.Run() doesn't exit normally. The only thing I can come up with: an unhandled exception. Do you trap the UnhandledException event ...Show All
