• Visual Studio Team System mstest with custom test type and metadata(vsmdi) file?

  I'm trying to use mstest.exe to run a test from the commandline. The test was created as a custom test type that I have created via the extensibility SDK. I've done a lot of investigation and here's the results: 1) inside VS I can run the custom test fine. 2) I can run the custom test fine using the /testcontainer: option of mstest.exe. 3) I can run a generic test using the same vsmdi file with mstest.exe. 4) trying to run the custom test type with the vsmdi fails with an "Test <foo> cannot be found" error. I ran scenarios 3 and 4 (only difference being generic test vs. my custom test) under cordbg. Here's t ...Show All

• .NET Development Generating a SOAP message from WSDL without creating a proxy class.

  I am writing a program that reads the WDSL document and generates a SOAP message in C#. I don’t want to create a proxy class from the WSDL document, I need the program to understand the WSDL document and be able to generate a SOAP message. I am working on generating the SOAP body from the types part of the WSDL, using the ServiceDescription class. My problem now is that   I can’t reach the elements contained within other elements in the schema, and work on them. I’m using XmlSchemaObjectTable XmlSchema.Element to access the elements, but when I use that and count the elements for example, it doesn’t count the element contained insid ...Show All

• .NET Development Optimize string allocation

  I'm testing with the performance tool using the instrumental setting. The report showed the System.Version and System.String are the types with most instances. Is there any best practice to optimize it Actually, the current performance of my application is good enough but I just want to improve it further. I found that a single function has already made up 1/3 of the total string instance. The code is a simple structure. It open up a database connection and command. Then, a data reader is used to extract a string from a column and the extracted string is placed into an ArrayList. I wonder why such a simple function will require so many strin ...Show All

• Visual C# Process.GetProcesses() and user privilege

  I have a VS 2003 C# application that works fine in most environments. It has recently been installed in a corporate environment (WinXP / Server 2003) where the user workstations are pretty well 'tightened-down' from a security point-of-view. The application makes use of the Process.GetProcesses() and it appears that the application throws an exception when this is called due to insufficient privilege. So my question is -- from a security perspective, what changes in groups or policy or whatever need to be made such that Process.GetProcesses() will not throw Obviously, making everyone an admin would solve the problem, but I am looking for so ...Show All

• .NET Development Static Interfaces

  What about allowing static interfaces Regards SvenC, Here's an example of where a static interface ( or possibly an interface which includes both static and non-static methods) might be useful. Suppose that we want to create a bunch of validator objects in our domain, but we don't want to incur the costs of object creation.  Furthermore, aside from performing validation, there is really no need to keep the validators around - e.g. after calling Validate(), we are done with the objects. Consider an interface IBaseValidator, which is defined as such: public interface IBaseValidator {     static void Validate(ref o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions displaying complete text in a dropdownlist control in

  hi i am populating a dropdownlist from database. the query is working fine. problem is the full text is not appearing in dropdownlist. e.g if it is "expenses-legder full details" in database. in dropdownlist its showing only "expenses-ledger " and omitting rest of the characters. is there any property of dropdownlist i can set to get this work. thanks CS When you display the list you are most likely seeing it only be as wide as the instance of the DropDownList itself, this indicates that your instance is not wide enough to display such a long string and given that it doesn’t have an AutoSize property the way many ot ...Show All

Given that there is no immediate sign of MSFWinBuild, I've been trying a workaround by uploading the source version of the template after testing it thoroughly in standalone on my local machine.
