• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Explicit vs. Implicit Behaviour

  Prefacing some words about the focus of this post: I am looking at the features described below having only the maintainability of the resulting code in mind. The assumed situation is having an enterprise project with > 20 developers, internal and external, who built the application, and a completely different team of developers maintaining the system later on. Also, the assumption is that none of the developers who originally created the system will be available for questions by the maintaining staff. The members of the developing and maintaining team will be average developers, maybe 'just' programmers, who are not familiar with (and ma ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do I partially specialize a template function?

  I have template < class P_T1, class P_T2> static inline void f() {} I want to redefine template<class P_T2> static inline void f<void, P_T2>() {} to do something else (as a special case when P_T1 is void). It does not work because I get error C2768: 'f' : illegal use of explicit template arguments Anybody help Thanks, so I did, only that the method must be static. It also throws new light on the deprecated std::use_facet(std::locale, T * = 0): such dummy parameters should not be deprecated because it gives a false impression that you can easily do without them, which is not tru ...Show All

• Visual C# C# references to typelibs

  Ignoring the fact that Visual Studio 2005 C# projects do not seem to be able to reference a typelib, I have another question about 2003 C# projects. When the typelib importer encounters an argument of type "INT_PTR" or "UINT_PTR" in a type library, the importer creates a type of "int". Why doesn't the import tool import the type as IntPtr Is there a way I can coerce the importer to do so I cannot test Visual Studio 2005 C# projects (see earlier posts) but I assume that 2005 will create the same signature. Thanks. I now see that Visual Studio 2005 does not add "/env win64" for my idl file when it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ADAM & AMD 64

  Is there a AMD 64 version of the ADAM tool I need it to be able to install the Team server. Had some issues when installing teamserver on x64 windows but found solution for most of it.

• Visual C# app.TaskVisible = false

About half way into this article is some info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dncscol/html/csharp06102002.asp --- Excerpt { --- That now means that I can make the main form disappear. The first two steps to do this are easy. You set the ShowInTaskbar property to false and the WindowState to minimized, and the window vanishes. That's not the whole story, however, as you can still get to the window using the ALT+TAB key combination. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Suppressing warning for entire ASP.NET project

  Hello: I am trying to set up the development environmont our team will use. There are several code analysis warnings we wish to suppress for the entire project without applying the attribute everywhere in the code. For a class library project you can set the suppressions in the project file for the class library. Since this is shared with all developers the suppressions are consistent. Since a web site project doesn't have a project file there doesn't appear to be a place to specify suppressions that will be shared with all developers on the team. I know I COULD got to each machine and go to the Website | Code Analysis Configuration menu ite ...Show All

• Windows Forms A problem with databinding

  As I know, in the .NET Framework 1.1, if I bind a string property of a type to the Text property of a TextBox and when I change the Text of the TextBox in code, the string property doesn't get updated. Only if the Text is changed by UI action, for example, input some text into the TextBox , the string property will get updated. What I would like to know is in the .NET Framework 2.0, if I use BindingSource, Do I have the function of updating source automatically if I change the text of a TextBox in code.

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Version Control and Phantom Items

  Has anyone else seen this happen A few of my fellow developers have run into what I've called "Phantom Items" in the VSTS Version Control System. Basically, what I mean by this is items that appear in the pending check-ins dialog but that are [no longer] part of the VS solution. When they appear, there seems to be no way to get rid of them short of directly going to the VSTS Version Control window and manually manipulating the repository files (VS won't let you) and even then sometimes they remain until we actually delete the workspace and recreate it. Not very comfortable. I'm not exactly sure how these appear, but I'm starting to beli ...Show All
