• Visual Studio Team System share a shelveset

  Hi guys, Could someone please tell me how to share a shelveset with others thank you Hi: To be a bit more specific the way to share a shelveset is to let the people know the name of the shelveset and your username. When a person is trying to locate a shelveset by using unshelve they will need to know both of these to be able to locate it. The second requirement is the need to have read and pendchange permissions on these files since unshelving them actually executes a checkout on those files. Thanks, mario ...Show All

• .NET Development Prevent instantiation of COM-visible interface

  Hi, A COM component can expose an interface to consumers, but at the same time prevent consumers from creating an instance of the interface by not defining a coclass. Is there a way for a .NET component that is COM-visible to expose an interface to a COM component without the interface being creatable by the COM component Thanks, Roy Interfaces are by definition not creatable. What I think you want is to separate class interface into an explicit public interface and a non-public (or at least non-ComVisible) class. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. ? Beginners

  My friends and I have no experience with coding or anything like that but have taken an interest in XNA and have some ideas that we would like to try to create. How easy is XNA going to be to use to make a simple 2d game just for fun I know it uses C# and I am going to start trying to learn, but is this going to be something where only experts can use this program, or is someone like myself going to be able to create at least simple games and not have to spend hundreds of years doing it I am also a beginner on Visual C#, but with the help of the absolute beginners videos wich are also on the microsoft site, you can learn a lot, so i have taken the oppurtunity to watch those lessons, and trying something ou ...Show All

• Gadgets Opacity in Sidebar Gadget

  I'm facing a problem, when setting opacity in Sidebar Gadget. Gadget gets the opacity, but it has purple background instead of it's parent (body) background. Web Gadget is working correctly by setting the alpha filter, but Sidebar Gadget is not displayed correctly - no matter whether I'm using oObj.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=[int value])"; or System.Gadget.opacity = [int value] . What is "totally black transparent" and "totally white transparent picutre" I never makes semi-transparent png works...unless it is inserted into g:background and have a non-transparent pixel below it. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Design pattern for enlisting a "plain old API call" in a transaction?

  We have a third-party workflow server process that exposes a plain old managed .NET API with the following the following methods: 1. Connecting to the server 2. Setting datafields within the server 3. Causing the datafields to be updated within server 4. Closing the server We have a business object with a UpdateServer() method that accepts a collection of datafield values and calls the above methods to store them in the workflow server. We want to include the call to UpdateServer() amongst some database update calls. We need to have these calls to execute as a single transactions - i.e. the UpdateServer() and database updates are all executed; or they are all aborted/rolled back. In EnterpriseServices, I p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer connecting to the wrong hostname?

  Hi Guys, I've installed VSTS to a rack server we are renting from a hosting company. The computer name was assigned to us with some internal name used by the hosting company. We have configured DNS etc. etc. on the box such that for all intents and purposes it appears on the web as a normally resolving internet hostname. However, when I attempt to add a New Team Project through Visual Studio to the VSTF Server, it seems to be putting this onto an incorrect web address. So instead of the site being http://www.something.com/sites/ProjectName it is being added as http://servername/sites/ProjectName , where servername is the name assigned by the hosting company, and as such does not resolve over the web. It fails stating that it cannot connect ...Show All
