• Visual Basic Troubles with my toolstrip

  I have a toolstrip on my form and I have the form's autoscroll set to true so that when it's resize it can be scrolled if necessary. Anyway, When I scroll down my toolbar doesn't stay at the top of my form. It scroll's with my form. So, when I scroll down it disappears past the top of my form. I have dock set to top. What am I doing wrong You should add a panel to your form and set its Dock property to Fill. Now you should set the panel to AutoScroll instead of the Form and add all the controls that previously you added on the form to this panel. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client to create a work item?

  Hi, Has anyone created a work item in code by using Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.WorkItem I can't figure out how to use it - for instance, how do you create an instance of it What is the " WorkItemType " that the constructor is expecting Thanks Thomas You can't.  Every project has a set of installed work item types and you can only create work items in that project of one of those types.  You must associate all work items with some project/work item type.  A work item type defines what fields and rules are applicable to the work item.  Work item types are describ ...Show All

• Visual C++ using a textbox from a 2nd Windows form

• .NET Development .NET Framework 2.0 question

  I appologize in advance if some of my  questions to the forum is a little out of place. I am not a programmer or developer, just a gamer, system builder, and network administrator of a home network. After installing .NET Framework 2.0, Direct X9.0c's Diagnostic shows that one of the two system.dll files is missing. The one that is listed belongs to 1.1, so logic dictates that it is the one for 2.0 that is missing. However it is in the .NET 2.0 folder! Some other symptoms are that logging into .NET sites must be done manually (being signed in with MSN Messenger does no good), and Auto-Scroll function for IntelliPoint 5.2 does no ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Jon, quick question on Workflow Designer/workflowVisibilityControl

  Jon, I've read your blog http://www.masteringbiztalk.com/blogs/jon/CommentView,guid,79f45d4d-6e5a-437b-a230-d7df13ae18e7.aspx and have developed a workflow monitor using your technique. Excellent job, by the way... But, here's my problem. Once I select a workflow instance from the tracking database, I not only display the workflow image ( using the WorkflowDesigner/WorkflowVisibilityControl technique ) I also display the activities ( just like the console version of the monitor ) Now, when I click on an activity, I want to re-render the image, but have the glyphs represent the state of the workflow at the point in time that that act ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System field (System.Description) mapping with ms project in FileMapping.xml

  I tried to map the fields of my process template with ms project fields. There is only one field that I have problem with, i.e. System.Description It is of the type plaintext. I see in ms project only something of type text, and it seems to be limited to 255 characters. And I think with plaintext you can add more than that. I tried different text fields from msproject (e.g. pjTaskText...). When opening a work item with ms project option in VSTS I get the error that the types for System.Description doesn't match. Is there anyway or field in ms project that I can map to System.Description Thanks for the help. ...Show All
