• Visual Studio Team System WorkspaceMapping.xml map/cloak

  When I setup a new build type, workspacemapping.xml, by default directs team build to do a 'get' of all the source in $/MyTeamProject. Is there some 'cloaking' under the covers that means it doesn't do a get of $/MyTeamProject/TeamBuildTypes Manish's blog http://blogs.msdn.com/manishagarwal/archive/2005/10/13/480584.aspx says how you cloak the TeamBuildConfigurations folder, but my build seems to do this by default. The reason I ask is I have several build types setup in MyTeamProject and they are basically the same except for the branch inside MyTeamProject that they target, therefore I want to strip out all the common stuff fro ...Show All

• Visual C# Design Question

  Pretty new to C# and Im rewriting a VB6 app that contains many features that should force the ol learning curve. I have hundreds of images that are saved with a filename, such as: temp1.jpg temp2.jpg....etc. The full path will have to be added later, probably to a list or Arraylist...in numerical order. As I recall I had to jump thru hoops to do this sorting with VB. temp1.jpg temp101.jpg temp2.jpg temp211.jpg....etc. What is my best bet now I can name the files anything. I just need to load them later numerically as fast as possible. It looks like you just want to sort them alphabetically.  Put them in an arraylist and call ...Show All

• Visual C# Converting an XML schema from Enterprise Architect to an SQL Script using c# codes

  good day everyone, im just having an application which would convert a scema to sql scripts, as of now i am reading the source xml file and generate a new xml file based on my template..then the output xml will be used to generate the sql script, this process is also the one i have used in creating classes, objects, and interface stubs. I would appreciate if anyone can help me do it in a simpler way..just be noted that only domain objects were present in the scema and therefore contains incomplete data to produce the desired output, thats why i have hard coded some of the id's specially the foreign keys.

• Visual Studio Just Completed a Conversion From an Imake-based Build System Over to MSBuild

  Some stats up front, the old system was comprised of 37 Imakefiles with 2333 lines altogether.  The msbuild system has roughly the same number of MSBuild project files (.csproj and a single .targets) with a total of 2022 lines.  The cool thing is that even though none of these are C# projects I can use a .csproj file and trick VS 2005 into building the MSBuild projects for me.  WRT build times, MSBuild appears to be a bit slower but then again it is still in beta.  The build system builds: yacc files, objective C, C, C++ and managed C++ source files. Overall the port has gone really well and I have to say that c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Developer Edition and Builds

  Hello ! When I read the posts, it seems that we can run tests in a build only with Tester Edition. However, when I ran by build on the server, here is the mesage I got : "MSBUILD : warning : Visual Studio Team System for Software Testers or Visual Studio Team System for Software Developers is required to run tests as part of a Team Build." So I installed Developers Edition and no more complain. However, no test is executed and this is apparently because no one is defined in my test list. And of course, because I cannot edit my test list in DE. With the Team Suite (trial edition) I had before, I could configure my build to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problems getting the VCCLCompilerTool object!

  Hi I'm writing some (C#) code to modify the compiler settings on a large number of VC++ projectfiles and I'm having trouble getting the VCCLCompilerTool object. My code looks something like this: VCConfiguration CurrentConfig = <some code to get the config> VCCLCompilerTool Compiler = (( IVCCollection )CurrentConfig.Tools).Item( "VCCLCompilerTool" ) as VCCLCompilerTool ; Now, the Item method returns some object, but the cast to VCCLCompilerTool fails. If I change VCCLCompilerTool to VCLinkerTool everything works as expected and I get a VCLinkerTool object. Is there ANY way to figure out what kind of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What does the Team Foundation Server (databases) installation do?

  hi I’m using dual-sever deployment. After installing SQL Server on the data-tier, you should install TFS (databases).
