• Visual Studio Team System Method fails in unit testing with System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException

What is strange is that the method works as expected when I run it in the UI, but the unit test throws a System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceExc ...Show All

• Visual Basic custom enumerator, com interop, and vb6 client

  Context: I have a legacy VB6 application that uses DAO and Jet. The owner of the company does not want to change any of the DAO code as we move into VB.Net, so I've been working on a set of VB wrappers to present an interface that looks just like DAO. The advantage to this is that we can subsequently replace the underlying DAO code in the wrappers with ADO.Net to use SQL Server in the future. The design: I have a set of abstract classes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Command routing question

  Hi, I'm writing a package and I'd like to intercept some commands that are executed from menus created by another package.  I understand from some VS architecture discussion that commands are normally routed to the package that defines the command and that not every command is routed to every package.  It's stated that it is possible to override this behaviour with a priority command target so that my package can override other package ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Adding data bindings from a webtestplugin

  I'm trying to add data bindings to a webtest using a webtestplugin and it doesn't seem to be working. Any thoughts Daryl, This behavior is due to the fact that we only load data sources at the start of a test run (the whole run, not per test iteration). You can only call those methods from within InitializeDataBinding since that method only gets called once per web test at the start of a run. Normally, you'd ...Show All
