• Visual Studio Team System Determine if there is a label already applied to the latest version

  Is there an easy way to determine if there is already a label applied to the latest version Thanks for the info. It's good that there is a way to accomplish the task, I just hesitate to tell our developers about this solution because it exposes deficiencies in the product when compared to VSS. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love VSTS but I do hope that future releases to the product (especially the Team Foundation Server and client) are released on a more regular basis. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums printing custom tile maps.

  Hi.. I am encountering a situation with printing the VEMap and I can not find a solution..so I hope one of you out there knows about this problem.. When I add custom layers (composed of transparent . png tiles containing visual information) from my server on top of the VEMap only the top layer of the map will print. The implementation of my server and client is described here http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Articles/RollYourOwnTileServer.ashx Only the last added layer will print. The odd thing is that if I try to print preview it, it behaves correctly and it displays the whole map with its added layers... if I try to print it though.. it prints just the last added layer. Any clues or help are very welcome!! Thanks i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Which is a better way to initialize workflows....

  I have built some workflows and now wanted them to use in a WPF application... I was wondering if it is better to initialize workflows as static or not.... If I make the workflow initialization methods static I cannot modify any of the properties in the UI (as they are not static)... I don't know if there are any disadvantages of removing the "static" keyword, as I've seen that in a window application Visual studio makes the mothod for initializing workflow static.... Any tips, ideas, help (and so on...) is greatly appreciated. markovuksanovic wrote: I don't know if there are any disadvantages of removing the "static" keyword, as I've seen that in a window applicatio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Detect another applications GUI controls in C#

  Hello, I'm new to C# (and OO programming in general). I'm looking to make a program that detects controls on another application and manipulates those controls. For example, can detect a radio button on an MSI installer and click it, or detect fields of a web form and fill them out. I'm sure there must be .NET libraries for this sort of thing, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. I could use AutoIt instead, but that would hardly be good C# practice :). Can anyone point me in the right direction Thanks.

• Visual C++ Problems with STL Implementation of Visual Studio 2005

  hi people i hope you can help me out with this. Ok first I apologize for my english, hope you can understand me. Here's the thing, I'm making an aplication about graph's that make an intesive use of STL structures like map and list and I noticed that runs extremely slow in all procedures that uses iterators and that stuff. But if I try the exact same code in other compiler it works perfectly. Now, someone told me that this is due to the Visual Studio 2005 STL implementation that uses a lot of iterator checks that i really dont need at all. So, i downloaded the SGI implementation of STL but when I change the include files directory in the options to include de headers i downloaded instead of the default Visual Studio headers i get this erro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Text Document at start up

  In this up i made i need to have a text document start when the app is fired for the first time then not again after that. The setting is saved per user and per version of your application. If you have run the app in the debugger, you can use the "Synchronize" button in the settings designer in order to "reset" the setting to its default value. You don't need to do this in order to publish your application, however - as soon as another user runs the app, it will be the first time for them (on that machine) Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

  I'd like to figure out why I can't use Edit and Continue on my box. I've tried this with a trivial C# Console app that consists of the following: namespace EditAndContinueTest { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { int a = 1; Console.WriteLine(a.ToString()); a = a + 1; Console.WriteLine(a.ToString()); } } } I break on the first Writeline and try to edit the line below to a = a+2; and get the following dialog: "Changes are not allowed when the debugger has been attached to an already running process or the code being debugged is optimized".

• Gadgets file is .gadget but IE downloads as .zip

I then uploaded the file to my webserver and it is there are a gadget file. I then linked to it as a gadget file. When I click that link it downloads a .zip file and asks where to save it rather than downloading as a gadget file and installing. What am i doing wrong Well, Microsoft rejected it again. They said they couldn't unzip my "zip" file that was actually a cab. They will not accept a cab file even though it is a valid file. You MUST upload a zip file.
