  Hi, Is C++ static source code analysis available for smart devices in VStudio Team Suite or is it only for x86 Win32 Thank you, VB.

Nice tweak to get the IDE to do what you want :) Jeff ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) use second monitor with wpf?

  Hi all, i'm relatively new to C# and WPF altogether.  It looks great so far.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Database problems: Save data, Change table definition

• Windows Forms Cannot add custom controls to SplitContainer?

  For some reason, I can't add any custom controls to a SplitContainer panel in .NET 2.0. When I try to add these controls to the panel via the designer, I receive the following error: "Failed to create component 'CustomCheckBox'. The error message follows: 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: Unable to load one or more of the requested types'"... It doesn't matter if the custom control is within the same project or not, the same error occurs. In the above example, all I did was create a CustomCheckBox that inherited the CheckBox class, but didn't add anything to the class other than an empty constructor. I don't hav ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project. How do I turn off the background compiler.

  VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project.  How do I turn off the background compiler. I have a fairly large project that I migrated from VB6 to VS2005.  This is the RTM version of VS2005.  There are many issues that I need to fix up in the code, but every time I change one line of code, my system runs 100% CPU for 30 seconds. This is not even close to usable.  You might think I have a slow machine, but I am running this in a P4 3.5 GHZ with 1GB of RAM, and a SATA 150 hard drive. I will be forced to abandon use of VS 2005 for this project unless I can find a work around for this issue. Please help! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TextBox input validation

  How can I validate input for my textboxes For example I have an application where I want to input several numbers in the textboxes. The primary validation constraint is that I want the user to be able to input only valid real numbers. Some of the textboxes should contain only positive real numbers. Also I want to be able to do comparisons between the different values (for example I have a minimum speed textbox, and maximum speed textbox, so there's one more rule here: min <= max). Also, if the user is currently editing a textbox, he should be able to cancel the modifications, by pressing escape. How can I do all these with Avalon/WPF Tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Distributed execution of functional tests

  I have a requirement to run my functional tests across multiple machines. Ideally, I would want to set up, say, 10 machines to run tests, and trigger running my, say, 1500 tests from VSTS. Rather than run all 1500 tests on one machine, I should be able to let those 10 machines pick up the first 10 tests off the queue, run them, report the results back to VSTS, and have each machine pick up the next queued test as it completes its current task. Note that these are single-user, stand-alone, UI-centric automated tests, not web tests, load tests, or tests that require sophisticated synchronization between machines. I've been investigating Te ...Show All
