• Visual Studio Team System "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

  Hi, I've created one webservice in C#, that connects to Team Foundation Server, and return a field value from a WorkItem. I've tested it in ASP .NET Development Server in Visual Studio 2005 and everything went ok! But when I put it in a web site in the IIS that has Team Foundation Server running i get the error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". The error occurs while processing the red line: TeamFoundationServer tfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(server); WorkItemStore workItemStore = (WorkItemStore)tfs.GetService(typeof(WorkItemStore)); WorkItemCollection wic = workItemStore.Query("SELECT System ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Rational Integration

  We are just beginning a fairly large project and are planning to use VS.Net 2005; however, several people on the project team have had experience with Rational Rose and Rational RequisitePro, we are used to that environment, and we have naturally had no experience with the VSTeam capabilities.  We are in a quandary as to whether to use all the features of Team System and/or Rational products which we have experience and confidence in. Here's a few questions - I hope someone out there is in a similar dilemna and is willing to share thoughts and ideas on this. Microsoft seems to have no requirements management tool similar to Rational Req ...Show All

• Visual C++ Debugger's Bug?

  I encountered a weird thing about debugging in Visual Studio 2005 Professional. You could try it in your VS. May be it is a bug. 1. Make sure the "Debug" toolbar is dragged out. All the operation is on it. 2. Set a breakpoint. 3. Start Debugging from the Debug toolbar, wait until reach the breakpoint. 4. Stop Debugging and immediately Start Debugging. After you stopped debugging, it will take about 1 second that the "Stop Debugging" becomes unavailable. Just IMMEDIATELY Start Debugging when it is still available. 5. Now you would notice: 1) Program stopped at breakpoint; 2) Continue Debugging is unavailable (which should be available) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Copying Charts?

  Does anyone know if it is possible to creat a chart with Crystal Reports and then copy it to something like a picture box using C# I'm really limited for form space on the application I'm developing and I'd like the charts but the report viewers have way too much stuff they try to cram in. My reports are pretty much down to a single graph and nothing else but CR insists on putting so much stuff in the viewer that I still can't fit the chart in and having to scroll around defeats the purpose of the chart. Thanks in advance! ...Show All

• Windows Forms KeyUp event incorrectly sent to form 'beneath' a MessageBox

  I am having a problem where KeyUp events in a MessageBox are being handled by an underlying form. I searched for existing bug reports and found FDBK15885 . This bug report describes exactly what I am experiencing. The resolution on this is Won't Fix and the justification for this is that the issue existing in prior versions of the framework. I don't understand this rationale. This is obviously undesired behavior (i.e. a bug), so what is being said is that the bug can't be fixed because it has existed in more than one version of the product. I fully understand the desire to not make "breaking" changes from one version of a product to anothe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Insert Data into a Workbook

  Hi,   I have created an Excel Project with a cached DataSet. The application works fine, without any errors. Now I want to fill a DataSet in an ASP.NET application to actualize the Data in the Workbook. To do this, I used the code from the “ How to: Insert Data into a Workbook on a Server “ example. I’m copying the file to the same folder, but with another name. Then I actualize the DataSet in my workbook with the SerializeDataInstance() Method. The size of the new Excel-file grows, so the cached Data must have been actualized.   But if I want to open the new file, I get the “The customization assembly could not be foun ...Show All

• Windows Forms how to raise picturebox_Paint event from a timer's tick event

  show me how to raise picturebox_Paint event from a timer's tick control please The problem with pictureBox1.Refresh() is that you are forcing a redraw to occur immediately. This sounds good, but in fact its a bad thing. It can cause performance problems by forcing the control to redrawn multiple times when not needed. Whereas with multiple Invalidate calls, Windows may choose to batch them together into one redraw. It also tells Windows to redraw the control when it next has time. ...Show All

• SQL Server Using Forms Authentication in Reporting Services

  I know the following article applies to Reporting Services 2000: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnsql2k/html/ufairs.asp However, I do have questions regarding this guide.  In the 'Considerations' section, it says that 'it is not possible to run a report server under a mixed-mode security system ...' and 'although possible, reverting to Windows Authentication after deploying the sample can be difficult ...'.  This does sound risky to me if we do want to try that route.  Most importantly, it says that 'Overriding Windows Authentication is risky. The Report Server was designed to be extensible ...Show All

  I have a table describing a hierarchy structure and the number of levels is very large, say 10000. Can I control the recursive CTE to get the first 1000 levels Thanks!

It seems that when you try to access this site from a MAC, any logos and/or text are out of place and in some cases some of the functionality does not work.

• Visual Studio Team System Forcing a testrunconfig for Team Build?

  I've seen mention of a <Runconfiguration> property thrown around and also an approach of <TestingArgs>/runconfiguration:blahblah</TestingArgs>. I've tried both and neither one is working out for me, so it's always pulling the default one from my VSMDI. Any suggestions TIA, Drew Nevermind, I dug into the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.targets file and found it. The RunTestsWithConfiguration target has a pair of TestToolsTaks in it and that supports a RunConfigFile property that is pulled from a build property named the same. < TestToolsTask Condition = " '$(IsDesktopBuild ...Show All
