• Visual Studio Team System Teambuild

  Hello, I want to include the NDoc function in the teambuild service. I have 2 questions: How can I make this and where can I start the Teambuild Wizard Hi TeamBuild, You can start the Team Build Wizard by going to the Team Explorer and doing a right click on the 'Team Builds' Node. Choose the option 'New build type'. This will launch the Team Build Wizard. As far as integrating Ndoc is concerned, you can do this by customising the build script to invoke the NdocConsole.exe post build. On the beta 2 bits this is how you would do it 1. Checkout the CustomActions.targets file under the TeamBuildConfigurations ...Show All

• Visual C# UOM classes?

  One of the things I haven't seen in the base .net libraries is some kind of unit-of-measure handler. If you're just measuring distances then Unit and UnitType are there and they're okay, but I haven't seen anything for weight or volume or anything. It's one of those things I'd expect to change with CultureInfo, but it looks like it might have been a bit beyond the scope of the base libraries. So I'm wondering if there's something somewhere I can use for this, or if I have to roll my own. My searches so far lead me to believe that unless I want to go the route of some CRM product (which looks like a lot more than I need) I'll hav ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Help using a videocamera in a pocket pc with WM2003

  I have read a lot about it but I don't have aby clear idea. I'm new with pocket pc and with windows mobile so I'm a little bit lost. I am developing (in C language with Visual Studio) an application that reads 'in live' the video streams of an iPAQ and use that streams to gather some info to display in the screen. In order to make that possible I have to access my camera to obtain those streams. I have read about using Directshow but I think that it doesn't works in WM2003 (which runs in the iPAQ). I also read about some APIs like this one : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wcem... ...Show All

• .NET Development TimeSpan or Stopwatch not as accurate as Environment.TickCount

  Can someone, maybe preferably from Microsoft, confirm a behavior that I'm noticing concerning the lesser accuracy of using TimeSpan and the Stopwatch object to time something in milliseconds versus using Environment.TickCount. Specifically, I'm noticing that in my Ping class that when I use Environment.TickCount to measure how long a host responds to my message, the result in milliseconds is accurate compared to the results when I use Ping.exe from the command prompt.  However, when I measure it using either TimeSpan or the Stopwatch class, the results are off about 100 to 200 milliseconds (more). Here's pseudo code of how I'm ...Show All

• SQL Server PackageID and GUIDs in ExecuteSQL task

  Am I looking at a potential bug here or do I not understand the feature properly I have an ExecuteSQL task that inserts into a table for logging and includes the System::PackageID as one of the values. It's stored in my table as a uniqueidentifier. When I set the output variable in Parameter Mappings tab of the Execute SQL task to VarChar, all works great. WHen I set it to GUID as the data type in that tab, it outputs a different GUID than the actual System::PackageID variable. -- Brian This is not a bug, although several have thought it was. If you look at the system variable you will notice that even though it looks like a GUID th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotation about the z-axis...

  I have a square on screen (2 triangles), and I'm experimenting with rotating the thing. Rotating about the x and y axis works as expected (the thing spins horizontally and vertically), but when I rotate it about the z-axis, it goes up and down, deforms a bit, and just looks weird. As for how I'm doing it right now, I'm using Matrix.RotationYawPitchRoll(x, y, z) to get my rotation matrix. We need to see your Perpective Matrix setting and your View Matrix Setting Maybe you are in orthogonal mode... ...Show All
