• Visual Studio Team System Can't set system.state other than "active"

  hi there.. I'm trying to create a workitem programmatically but i can’t set the system.state to other value like “Closed”. If I try to set it there an error message saying something like I set the wrong field or don’t have permission. The only value that I can set for the system.state is “active” Can someone explain me why or are there a certain way/method of changing the system.state value tq Hi ahmad, you should define all states transition in your WI definition file to be able to set the current state. Validation takes place on the server side and when you try to save this WI, no rule allow the work item to pass from "", to "Closed" for example. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Impossible to track down a linker error

  I might be wrong, but it seems to me that the linker reports have become impossibly detailed in VS2005. for example, I get the following linker error (note, this is *one* linker error): ========== filemanagerd.lib(filemanager.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > & __thiscall std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::replace(class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::iterator,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Configuring Elementary Security

  I'm trying to just get a service working from outside a domain and am getting nothing but headaches trying to get it going. Here's my configuration for now: < bindings >    < wsDualHttpBinding >       < binding name = " wsDualHttpBinding " >          < security mode = " Message "/ >    </ wsDualHttpBinding > </ bindings > This works locally, but I get an error on the client saying it couldn't work out the SOAP security. As I understand it, WCF uses Windows credentials by default for wsDualHttpBinding and this would make sense because it works locally, but not on the other computer. To get around this, I tri ...Show All

• SQL Server How would you interpret this Error Message

  I am attempting to complete a package that calls four "worker" packages in parallel. The connections are part of the worker packages. When I start the calling package, I get a message: Error at XYZ (the name of one of the packages): The connection is not specified. Which connection Each worker package has three connections. So just to experiment, I delete that Execute Package Task and I get that same message about another package. So why does it not identify which connection is the concern and why did it stop with the first one instead of listing all the connection issues And why is it asking for a connection at all At present, all it does is call the other packages. Still hanging in there... IanO ...Show All

• SQL Server Strange problem with Delete

  Hi, i had been some a problem with the delete statement. When i try to delete X rows of a table in a transaction, it doesn’t work properly, some rows aren’t deleted. I’m working with one thread and concurrency. I tried before delete the same information with stored procedure and the same problem happened. Anyone had this problem before Any sugestions Maybe the concurrency I’m working with ASp.Net+VB.NET+SQL Server thanks Joao Paulo Lindgren One possibility is that there is a DELETE trigger on the table that is protecting some of the data.

• Visual Studio Problem with SourceSafe and Visual C++ .Net 2003

  Ok, I added new dlg class to the project and it worked fine as always leaving both the .h and .cpp checked out. I did some editing in those files, and when I went to add a message handler, I got the error message "Add/Remove of the function is impossible, because the parent class code is read only" Now, I KNOW it's not read only both the dlg's .h and .cpp are checked out! Also, in an act of frustration, I checked out all the files in the project, and it still gave me that error. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks guys, Jeff From looking at the error message it seems that one of the files VC needs to modify (.vcproj ) is read only. Try to find the file and if it is under source ...Show All

• Visual C# Compare filename to a mask

  I have a FileInfo object. I need to compare the FullName property to a mask like "*.jpg" or "warcraft.*" or " rant.bmp" to see if it matches.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Absolute and relative mouse movement

  Usually when dealing with mouse input you want the data from the mouse in two forms, one is absolute that you might use to draw a cursor or know which part of the window/screen a user has clicked on, and the other is relative where you are only interested in how much the mouse has moved. Currently, the MouseState only seems to report the mouse movement in the absolute form. This means anyone using the mouse to control, for example, a first person camera would find their movement limited by the size of their window/screen. I have tried playing around with the Mouse.IsCaptured property but it doesn't seem to make much difference, quite possibly because I don't know how to use it. Am I correct in thinking that getting relative mouse input dat ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Release .exe not working on non-Xna system.

  Hi, I sent a compiled version of the XNA shell program (blue screen only) to my friend who doesn't have XNA installed on his PC. Didn't work (crash with no decent debug info). After he installed XNA on his system, the .exe worked fined. Just thought you'd like to know. lushdog No, as ZMan has noted, you should not redistribue the XNA DLL's. In the future, once XNA has graduated from betaland, an XNA runtime installer will be available to ensure the correct installation of the assemblies. Generally, shared assemblies are registered with the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) to ensure proper version handling, etc. As of right now, the only proper way to distribute the XNA assemblies, is by having the end user ins ...Show All
