• Visual Studio Team System Manual Test Authoring through Microsoft Office Infopath 2003

  If I wanted to use a Microsoft Office Infopath form instead of a Word or Excel document to author my manual test cases, what would be the best way to implement that I'm assuming that I would probably have to create a custom test type of some kind. Should I try to launch Infopath as an editor or something when the test is edited, or would it be easier to use the object model since there is already support for creating tests in Word and Excel formats Just looking for opinions at this point. Rob Ok, well let's try something simpler then. Does anyone have any example of using InvokeEditor in a custom test ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating Custom Dialogs

  Hi, I try to create a custom dialog in VS2005(C++), but the result is, that the dialog’s behaviour is like a "normal" control. It should behave like all the standard dialogs, which means, that you can place the control at design time on the "component tray" like i.e. the printDialog. Searching around, I found, that I have to set: TopLevel to false, and the FormBorderStyle to none/FixedDialog. But this is not working for me. What’s going wrong Best regards, Carl I believe you will need to derive from CommonDialog for this kind of functionality. (if only my machine wasn't broken I could create some sampl ...Show All

  Hello, I installed VB2005 recently and today I attempted to install SQL Server Express. Installation failed saying that Existing Components Existed. Message was: Existing Components SQL Server DB Series 9.00.1399.06 I believe that is SQL Native Client. It could also be from SQL Books Online.

• Windows Forms InvalidOperationException with DataGridView bound to object data source

  I am getting an InvalidOperationException with the message "Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object." when using the DataGridView and an object data source in 2.0. After going crazy trying to find the source in a larger application I created a very simple app to see if I could reproduce the error and found that even a simple example application causes it. Here are the steps that reproduce it: 1) Create a new project with a single form with only a DataGridView in it. 2) Create a simple object with two properties. For example: public class Widget { private string _name; private int _quantity; public Wid ...Show All

• SQL Server increasing maximum of tables to greater than 256 ?

  Hi, I am submitting a query to SQL server and I'm hitting an error--> Too many table names in the query. The maximum allowable is 256. I CAN find a work around by breaking things up, but, isn't there a way to increase this limit of 256 tables Seems kind of a lowball cieling for SQL Server. How about re-writing your query so that it doesn't do the same join a hundred times   You can blame the SQL Server engine for not supporting such poorly written queries, but in the end even if it did, what you propose wouldn't perform very well.  You can re-w ...Show All
