• Phenom7413 Frequent incorrect build results - projects skipped that are out of date

  Re-posting here at the suggestion of the Team System folks... The below was observed using Visual Studio Team Suite 2005 RC version. I have a solution with 17 C# projects - two .EXEs and the rest DLLs, including a number of unit test projects. I can't begin to relate how often I run into problems due to incorrect build outcomes - one or more projects were not built even though clearly out of date.

• MS_Developer /target switch does not work as advertised

  Looking at: ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_build/html/f46feb9b-4c16-4fec-b6e1-36a959692ba3.htm The documentation states that any target can be executed. This is not true, (at least not for me). Perhaps someone can point out what I'm doing wrong. If I run: MSBuild.exe mysol.sln /t:myproj:Rebuild the project file rebuilds as expected; however, if I run: MSBuild.exe mysol.sln /t:myproj:Build or MSBuild ...Show All

• sbrian26 Positioning elements generated by a data template on a Grid or Canvas

  I'm trying to use an XML data source and a data template to generate some TextBlock elements from this data and present them using an ItemsControl. The TextBlocks are generated correctly, but I can't figure out how to position them on a Grid or Canvas panel. It seems the attached properties (Grid.Column, Grid.Row, Canvas.Left, etc) that I define on the TextBlocks are somehow ignored. This is the XAML code I'm using: <StackPanel xmlns="http ...Show All

• d1mann nested subreport

  I have a nested subreport. The 2nd level of subreport does not get loaded. I have handled the subreportProcessing event for the 1st level of SubReport. I expected the second level subreport to work on its own, but it seems that the subreportProcessing event has to be handled for the 2nd level subreport too. But I am unable to find a way to subscribe to it.(since the reportviewer just has access to first level of Subreport). ...Show All
