• Visual Studio Team System Project in solution explorer

  We're in the process of setting up some test boxes to run some manual tests.  I've created a project with all the tests.  The additional testing resources have installed the team system client.  What is the best way to get them the project with all the tests   I tried exporting the project and then allowing them to access the project and put it on a local folder.  The only problem is when they try to open the vbp file an error comes up stating 'The Visual Basic 6.0 file is corrupted or cannot be read.' Any suggestions thanks, aaron  I received exactly the same error message after exporting and then extr ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Questions regarding connecting to an ADP server

  I would like to use VFP as a frontend to reach in and pull data from our company's ADP server.

• .NET Development n a stored procedure return multiple tables

  Can a stored procedure return multiple tables i.e two select statements in one procedure. how can u put those tables into dataset at a time . To fill multiple tables, you should create a Stored procedure containing a SELECT statement for each table in your dataset. A JOIN is not appropriate as this will return one result set. Each result set must be mapped to a table in your dataset when using a DataAdapter. However, in ADO.Net 2.0 this approach has been left in favor of table adapters. Each table adapter can be assigned a stored procedure in which you should do only one SELECT statement. In your scenario this would mean a round-tr ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX Vs. OpenGL

  Im just getting into computer games programming and have become quite familiar with C++ in the last month. However having done some research these 2 names keep cropping up DirectX and OpenGL Can anyone tell me what these two do and which is the best to start learning. Are they both linked with C++ or have i been wasting my time learning c++. Thanks Craig They do the same thing in different ways. Both are API's to allow you to easily control 3d graphics cards. OpenGL is cross platform DirectX is Windows only Both can be called from C++, in fact that is generally the way most people use them however they ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to handle Ctrl-Drag on design surface?

  Hi, We've got a custom designer working, we can drag items from our toolbox onto the design surface without any problem. However, we want to handle dragging while holding down control - this should create a copy of the control. When ctrl-dragging, the icon changes to a + to indicate that this is what it's going to do, but on releasing the mouse, nothing happens! The MSDN magazine example from March 2006 has the same 'feature'. What do we have to do to enable the creation of the new control Many thanks, Gary Hi, A drag and ctrl-drag off the toolbox should be handled the same way. It doesn't really make sense to m ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource.Find throws exception on empty DataSet

  I have a problem with a bindindingSource very similar to the problem reported here but I've tried the solution outlined (explicitly setting the bindingSource's DataSource before the call to Find) but it doesn't help me (the DataSources for my BindingSources are correct) - so there's no chance for the DataSources to get set incorrectly. My situation is slightly different because I'm adding the BindingSources from the toolbox (not by dragging tables onto the form from the dataset). My dataset has two tables "state" and "county". They are related one-to-many by relation "FK_county_state" from state to county.  'county_id' b ...Show All
