• Visual Studio Team System BuildType download additional (unspecified) project

  I am trying to use Team Build to automate builds on a server. My team project source control has two version of the source code (v5 and v6 - with v6 branched from v5). I created a build type for the team project and in it, I specify to only build the v6 solution. When I execute the build type, the server is downloading and building both the v5 and v6 project (v5 doesn't build because it was imported code). In the <SolutionToBuildInclude> element in the build type's proj file, I see that it correctly list only the project that i had specified so I have no idea why it's trying to download and build the v5 code. Any idea what I am doing wrong Thanks The first thing I would check is the Work ...Show All

  It's not all mine. I just tweaked some existing code. Still cool though I think and it'll come in handy for my RPG. Clicky . The pulsing is mesmerizing......

• Visual Studio Team System URGENT: Error when merging changes after folder move

  Recently we faced with an error which preventing us from merging changes. This issue is quite urgent for us. We had a main source tree under folder $/P5/RC and several version branches under $P5/R9, $P5/R10 and so on. We created new team project named "P7" and moved main source tree into it via move operation (to folder $/P7/RC). Now when we trying to merge any changeset to version branch (for example $/P5/R9) performed BEFORE moving main tree to the new project we are getting the following error: The item $/P7/RC does not exist at the specified version. It seems to us that TFS do not take into account move operations when trying to get specific version of items during changeset merging. I ran into this same is ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I load a 3d mesh (.x file)?

  How do I load a .x mesh into my scene The space game seems to use its own format (which it names .swm), and there's nothing in the help. I've been scanning through through the classes in the Framework namespace, but I can't see anything obvious! Is .x the recommended format for objects like this (If not, I change my question to be about the recommended format :D) If anyone knows anywhere that has some nice .x meshes I can play with, that'd be cool too. The only one I have lying around is a chair, and that's going to look a bit funny running around my game :D The content pipeline is what takes a .x file and makes it appear in the content manager. Since that is missing you cannot use this API yet. ...Show All

• .NET Development 2.0 DataSet using whitespace instead of empty String

  Hello, I'm doing a very basic operation in a webservice just converted from 1.1. It uses a dataAdapter.Fill(DataSet) to build a dataset from a table. Unfortunately it now populates all the empty cells in the DB as " " in the dataSet. That single whitespace is screwing up all of my business rules. I've confirmed this is not a problem in the 1.1 code. I'm having a lot of trouble finding any information about this online, any ideas on how to fix this Code below: DataSet dataSet = new DataSet(); _dataAdapter.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand(strSQL, _conn); _dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet); Thanks in Advance, Ian Fill should not convert null values to empty spaces. So you are saying that the columns contain ...Show All

• SQL Server Updating a linked table?

  Hello I have an SQL 2005 Express table with the fields DocID (Unique), DocTitle, DocPath and DocSubmitter. I am using a Web Form to insert records, I can do the Title (textbox) and Path (FileUpload) no problem. The submitter is linked via a submitterID relationship to another table, submitters. So it will be expecting a number (1-30) not a name as listed in a dropdown list on the web form. How do I update this field Thanks, Mark Although this is not related to SQL Server forums, you will have to define both the Label of the combobox and the Value. These are two different properties. The Label will be displayed and the values will be posted when the action of the form executes. HTH, jens ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Temp Tables

  In my old program I had 2 tables that were not linked to MSAccess, they held what I called temp data for use from within my program to remember things like the last session, interface mode, etc. Is there a way to keep a table local, instead of on SQLServer. I dont need them to be a temp table(my def of a temp is a table that will be emptied upon closure). I would like for the tables to be part of my application that I am building in VBE to store things(STUFF) for me to use within my code. Can this be done, or is it the wrong approach Here again, everything I am finding compared to what I know is total different in VBE compared to VB6, so I may be thinking wrong. If I am, please excuse me. you ...Show All
