• Visual Studio Team System Length of an Iteration

  In the MSF for Agile Development Process, the first activity of the "Plan an Iteration" work stream is "Determine iteration lenght". The guidance talks about planning an iteration length that "provides just enough time to get a small number of scenarios or quality of service requirements done". Does anyone has an example of how much scenarios this implies How long should be an iteration for a mid size project of one a couple of months Does anyone has an aproximate number Thanks.

• Visual Studio VC++ 6.0 installer crashes on xp

  I have winxp pro SP1 US.  When trying to install VC++ 6.0 pro, I just get this message: 'setup has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.' A crash. But think the cd is good.  Are there problems installing vc++ 6 on xp  I'm wondering if some file in my one year old xp installation is corrupted, and is causing this crash.  Other apps install just fine, but then again they probably use a different installer.  I'm hoping to avoid having to reinstall xp, cause it takes hours, and other programs work fine still. IS there anyway you can send ...Show All

  Is it possible to change the default padding (internal spacing, in pixels) of the contents of a TextBox control I want some space (internal margins) around my text in the TextBox. The MSDN library says that this is a Protected Overridable ReadOnly Property. I doubt it, the Windows control doesn't support it. The property is new for .NET 2.0 and documented everywhere as "...not intended to be used directly from your code. This property is not relevant for this class". Sounds like they have plans for .NET 3.0, WinFX, Avalon... ...Show All

• Visual C++ resources and dll's

  Hi I have a windows component written in c and I am loading a custom mouse cursor like mouse_cursor = (HCURSOR) LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(0),        MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_ZOOM_CURSOR), IMAGE_CURSOR, 0, 0, LR_DEFAULTSIZE); SetCursor(mouse_cursor); This works fine when I compile the control and a function to test the control into a executable. However when I compile the control as a separate dll and try to test that the cursor doesn't load. The error is 1812 "The specified image file did not contain a resource section.". I assume the problem is GetModuleHandle(0) is not the handle to the dll but the executable. ...Show All
