• Visual Studio Problem checking out items

  Hi I've been trying to checkout items using the _applicationObject.SourceControl.CheckOutItems(ref ItemNames) method, but this do everything except check out the items.

• Visual Basic Dataset does not update more than once during runtime.

  Hi there, I have a dataset that i am updating during runtime of my program. To do this, I first delete all of the data in a datatable using "DELETE * FROM Table1" command, and then update the dataset. To initiate this process, i double click on a datagrid. The first time i double-click on the data grid, the program works exactly as planned--i step through the code and verify that first all the records in the datatable delete, and then is updated with all the new records. The problem i'm having is that the next time i double-click on the datagrid, the table doesn't delete! And then i get an error that i am updating a table with a non-unique record. If my table deletes like its supposed to, i shouldn't ever get this error...why ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) When to use windows browser app?

  Hello, I'm wondering when is it beneficial to use a winfx browser app, as oppose to the regular winfx windows app I have a list of questions/concerns...sorry about the lenght of this posting :-) I'm playing with xaml at home, and I think it is the best way of developing ui. It really seperates the roles of the designer and the programmer. But, in my work place, even for intranet applications, business people are really attached to thin clients (ASP.NET). I think most businesses are like that. I was thinking if the middle tier is developed using web services (wcf) then I could develope a rich client that runs in the browser (winfx browser app). a) So should I develope a rich client as a browser app b) Is that what brow ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Auto-levelling in Project and integration with Work Items in Team System

  We have a scenario where we have constructed a project plan where single resources are allocated to tasks in MS Project (due to a limitation with integration to team) and using the auto-levelling feature so that resource assignments can be determined in line with priorities etc. We have published the initial project plan 'tasks' to team, so that each person is able to see the tasks that have been assigned to them and roughly when they have been scheduled to start them as pre-determined by MS Project. When the resource begins a task, they are able to enter the ''Actual Start'' date in a customised field against the task in MS Team as well as 'completed' and 'remaining' work number of days. When this is subsequently refreshed in MS Projec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office [Word] Runtime error on loading custom add-in

  Hello, I have a problem with loading my own add-in after I deployed the setup and installed the add-in. When I run the add-in directly out of visual studio it all works fine. However when I generate the setup.exe and use it to install the add-in it won't display in Word. When I go to the COM-addins dialog in Word I can see that it is indeed installed. When I click on it, i see the message: "Not loaded. There was a runtime-error ...... ". My guesses are that it has to do with security or something. I already put the macro's security to the lowest level, and followed the directions on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537179(office.11).aspx to add something for the security. I allready spent hours searching google for this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Decorator for Compartments

  Hi, I would like to know if there is any way to have something like an IconDecorator on a Compartment (Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams.Compartment) The result should be similar to say the Icons that are used to represent the different kind of Decorators in the Dsl Tool itself. Regards, Rasmus Oudal Edberg Thanks Rasmus, it was very useful for me, but ... Do you know how to show the image decorator only when the compartment element has a property set to true I mean, in your example all compartment elements show a image/icon, I want to show the image only if it has a property with a specfic value.

• Visual Basic map string value to a variable name dynamically?

  Hi, I'll use a really simple example to describe what I want to do. Say I have a Class Person, with members being Name, Height, Age, Sex. I want to be able to call a function say person.NextValue, and it will return the value of one of the member variables. So if it is called the first time, it will return the value assigned to Name. The second time the value assigned to Height and etc... Any ideas on how to do this I have had a crack at it and have done the following. In my class I have created an arraylist containing the names of each member as a string. When .NextValue is called it steps to the next string in my arraylist and returns the Name of the member. For my approach to work what I need to do now is return the Value associa ...Show All

• SQL Server MSDE 2000 Set-up: Invalid instance name

  Thanks in advance. I installed SQL 2000 Client Portion in my local computer: No server functionality. I selected my computer name as an instance name. Installation went OK. Now, I am trying to install MSDE in my computer. Error comes in early part of installation: It says, "The instance name specified is not valid" Please, any advise and suggestion. Yes, presumably MSDE tries to use the same instance name already in use by SQL 2005. Why would you want both versions on one machine Well, you can do it, but check the MSDE readme how to configure a different instance name. In the connection string you will use servername\instancename to access the named instance. -- S ...Show All
