• Visual Studio Sandcastle December CTP - BuildAssembler throws XML exception.

  Hello All, I have been using the Sandcastle December CTP and found a small section of code which causes BuildAssembler.exe to generate an XML exception. I have included the code (do not be concerned with the functionality of the code, it is purely for recreating the exception) which you can use to reproduce the exception. The code compiles without any errors or warnings, but for some reason BuildAssembler.exe does not seem to like it. I have also included details of the exception to help trace the problem, but if you copy my attached code you should be able to recreate the same exception. The code which causes the exception in BuildAssembler. namespace XMLTagsDemo2 {     /// <summary>     /// Re ...Show All

• Windows Forms StatusBar ToolTip Crashing

  Hello All, Quick Background: I have a UserControl that uses a StatusBar and ToolTip to allow a user to navigate data displayed in the control. On the main application there are a number of buttons that will create a new Form at runtime and place a static instance the main applications single instance of my control on the newly create Form. This was done because generating the UserControl is complicated and costly as far as memory and rendering is concerned. The Problem: If I place my control on one of these newly created Forms and the user hovers over an item that has a ToolTip it works fine the first time. The problem comes in that when the user closes the form the UserControl is removed and the Form disposed, and a user will click ano ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Automated build tests not continuing after failure?

  Hi all... I have a TFS server running builds for a project, with several unit test projects. The build uses TestToolsTask-1.1 to automate running tests (all of our test projects are *.UnitTest.dll). There are five test projects in total. However, if a test should fail in (say) the second of those .dlls, the remaining three test projects don't get executed. The remaining tests in the second dll are run, but any subsequent test projects are ignored. The tests don't fail, or abort - they simply don't appear on the build output. I see two test runs; the first passes all tests, the second has two failures. The remaining three test projects are nowhere to be seen, and don't appear in the build log either. Does anyone have any suggest ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Steps to install SP1

  I cannot find the answers on any of the SP1-sites/blogs. I have a number of PC's running VS2005 against TFS. When i update TFS to TFS SP1, must i also update all the client machines to VS2005 SP1 Or can i just update TFS and not (yet) update all the clients On the TFS-server, must i also install VS2005 SP1 I know that i must install the 'pre-SP1-patch' and the TFS-SP1, but since there is VS2005 installed on the server (not for C# or VB, etc, but Team Explorer) must i install the VS2005-SP1 for that part Thank you, Dennis Ok, thnx for the info.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Second map channel in ModelProcessor

  I'm currently exporting some custom data in my own model processor. I get the vertex position from the first channel in geometry.Vertices.Channels and the uv coordinates from the second channel. I'm using the fbx file format saved out from MAX8. I want to export a second set of uv coordinates but can't seem to get them to come through. ie the number of geometry.Vertices.Channels is always two.

Is there any special channel I need to use or anything I'm missing Any takers Shawn Do I need to extend the fbxImport ...Show All
