• Visual Studio Team System Tool for folder based access rights

  Hi, I am searching for a tool that allows granting access rights based on folders. Once, I believe, I read about such a tool but now can't find it any more. Does anyone know such a tool for TFS, tool Name or vendor Tom Tom, If it is folders in version control that you are after then you can do this from within Visual Studio 2005. Simply right click on a folder in the source control explorer and select Properties then look at the Security Tab. Be careful with the "Inherit permissions" check-box - when you un-tick it all permissions (including your own) are removed. If you press ok before you have given yourself some rights to the folder you could get in a bit of a mess. See the following post for mo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MediaElement is playing HD-movies slow in RC1

• .NET Development About the retry mechanism of Remoting

  Hi, I am using .Net remoting in my app. and there some socket errors, such as "Invalid handle" or "the target is not a socket", etc., happen during remoting. I can use the try...catch mechanism to avoid the fatal exception and realize the error processing. I wonder if some retry mechanism is available in .NET. I intend to implement a mechanism to retry the same remoting process for serveral times before quit it completely. Will this work it out Thank you! How would you know with TCP/IP whether a retry would be harmful You seem to think that a general purpose one-size-fits-all solution is possible. But it really isn't. I can think of plenty of TCP/IP-based examples where a g ...Show All

• Windows Forms Web Browser Forms Aspect Ratio

  MSDN Forms and Programers I was wondering if anybody could assist me with using the Windows Forms WebBrowser. I currently have an almost miniature web browser imbedded with an application I created. Since the web browser is smaller than normal it would be nice to have each web site still fit inside it without the scrollbars being added.  Does anybody know any tricks of the trade in dealing with this problem. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks for the help Travis I'm pretty sure the Internet Explorer can't scale web pages. Since WebBrowser is just IE embedded in a window, it would not be able to do so either. ...Show All

• Community Chat Zune and the iPod

  I've been following the Zune announcements fairly closely here at work. If you follow my blog, you'll see that I'm pretty passionate about media technologies, and recently went through the pain of migrating away from iPod/iTunes and onto Yahoo Music/Gigabeat S (Portable Media Center). Here the blog category where I talk about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/joemorel/archive/category/13772.aspx Now Zune is in the mix. It looks pretty neat, but I'm not sure if people are really going to go for the whole WiFi thing. I'm just not sure that I want to listen to the same music as the person sitting next to me on the bus. What do you think well remember, some of it may be based on customer requirements having a Wifi is a cool option ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help disabling Just-In-Debugging

  I installed .net 2.0 yesterday and now Just-In-Time Debugging has taken over my apps I work on outside of VS.net. I have followed all steps I have found to disable JIT with no results. So then I uninstalled 2.0 and reverted back to 1.1. Still, the JIT dialogue pops up. The pages I am working on are classic asp pages and the last thing I need is these JIT popups. I have been unable to find any information beyond the checkboxes in VS.net. Could anyone shed some light on this If it matters, I am on XP Pro and run VS.Net 2003. Thanks. Thanks for the help bandolex, but this setting is already on. However, the problem persists. I have formatted my PC and i'm certain that the only way to solve this prob ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. ContentLoadException

  Hello, loving XNA so far. But when I try to use this: Model model; ContentManager contentManager = new ContentManager(GameServices); model = contentManager.Load<Model>("boing.swm"); Code I get the ContentLoadException which states it cannot find the file speficied in the file, which is located in the project. So I am trying to figure out what is causing this exception. Any help would be much appreciated. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that the ContentManager was working, but I may have been mistaken. I see why that would cause an error, but I thought that the Common classes in the Spacewars Kit were workarounds for that. But then again I may be mistaken. ...Show All
