• Visual Studio Team System Had to use Mercury Loadrunner and capture values of certain hidden form fields

• Visual Basic BackgroundWorker vs Try/Catch?

  Hi. I have an app that spawns a couple of BackgroundWorkers. The process works perfectly when all the target servers are available. For testing purposes, I added some non-existant servers to the mix. The problem is in the Try/Catch block of the background process. I have to connect to a SQL Server first, then do stuff. Even though I handle the problem to gracefully exit, I keep getting the message in Debug mode. TargetInvocationException was unhandled - Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. -InnerException.Message: {"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."} I thought maybe this was a noob question similar to VB6's option "Break on all errors/Break on unhandled errors," b ...Show All

• Windows Forms HOW TO: Create A Rectangle Using A Picture Box

  I am using a Visual Basic Express 2005, how can I create a rounded rectangle at runtime using a picture box. Anybody here does have a sample code Thanks;) No need for a PB, you can just draw it in the Paint event of the form or a panel. For example: Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles Me.Paint Dim rc As Rectangle = New Rectangle(10, 10, Me.ClientSize.Width - 20, Me.ClientSize.Height - 20) e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, rc) End Sub Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize Me.Invalidate() End Sub End Class That draws a square rectangle, u ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customizing team build number?

  When Team Build launches, it automatically assigns a build number of the format: <BuildTypeName>_<YYYYmmdd>.<number> This is pretty heinous and means essentially nothing to our QA department who is used to build numbers like 5.30.010. Under other circumstances I wouldn't be so picky but I've just discovered that the bug tracking uses these numbers to populate its drop down list of build numbers. Is there any way to change this number I suspect from what I know about Team Build that the answer will be no. I have thought of a work around but I would really not go through the hassle (the work around being to change the name of the build type before every build by using a tf rename command, such that it would be som ...Show All

• Visual Studio Differences in IDE and MSBuild for Web Project

  Hi, I've got a wierd one. I've got a Solution that contains a Web project and a DLL project. The web project references the DLL project and The DLL project references 3 thirdparty dlls. When I build from the IDE, The build copies all the dlls from the DLL's output (my dll and the three thirdparty dlls.) However, when I build from msbuild, It neglects to copy one of the dlls. It is always neglects the same dll and it never gets copied. I've tried debug and release configurations and it is the same thing. I'll post whatever anyone thinks is helpful. thanks, nathan Hi Faisal, I realize that it's not over half a year since you're original response - we're seeing the same problem here with our own web proje ...Show All
