• Visual Studio VS 2005 & SourceSafe

  How can I use SourceSafe with VS2005 Thank you all First, you have to install both products Then, you have to set VSS as the active provider in VS. You can do that in VS by opening the Tools/Option/SourceControl/Plug-ins dialog and setting the provider to either Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (or Microsoft Visual SourceSafe(Internet) if you have VSS2005). You'll get after that File/SourceControl menu (and if using VSS2005 you'll get integration with File/Open/Project, File/Add/Items dialogs) Note that not all editions of VS2005 allow scc integration. Express editions don't allow any source con ...Show All

• Windows Forms RichTextBox Control

  Hi! I'm currently working on App and I need to change the FontStyle Property of my RichTextBox control (SelectionFont.FontStyle). Now, what happens is that whatever is inside the Font class is ReadOnly and is only set when you create an instance with the constructor. So, every time I have to apply new formatting I have to create a new Font instance, copy the data that I need into it and selectively, based on the current Selection, apply the correct formatting. Now, for example if you have the following text selected in you RTB (RichTextBox): AA bb , the SelectionFont.FontStyle Property will return the bitwised value of FontStyle.Bold and Fon ...Show All

• .NET Development How could I know if I am running a NGEN'ed image?

  After I NGEN'ed my program and run it, I found there is no change on memory cost and running speed. I doubt if I am still running the old version(not NGEN'ed) of my program. How can I run the NGEN'ed image directly Or how can I know if I am running a NGEN'ed image Thanks! The simplest way is to look at the fuslogvw. This would give you details as to which image was used and the reasons as to why the NGEN Image wasn’t used. ...Show All

• Visual C# Process.GetProcesses() and user privilege

  I have a VS 2003 C# application that works fine in most environments. It has recently been installed in a corporate environment (WinXP / Server 2003) where the user workstations are pretty well 'tightened-down' from a security point-of-view. The application makes use of the Process.GetProcesses() and it appears that the application throws an exception when this is called due to insufficient privilege. So my question is -- from a security perspective, what changes in groups or policy or whatever need to be made such that Process.GetProcesses() will not throw Obviously, making everyone an admin would solve the problem, but I am looking for so ...Show All

• SQL Server Maximum number of partitions in AS2005

  Hi, Does AS 2005 have a limit to the number of partitions it can support I am sure some one out there must have asked this before, but I just can't seem to be able to find an answer in the docs or online. Regards, Alex Hi, In standard edition: maximum 3 non-writeback partitions per MeasureGroup. In the other editions (enterprise, developer, evaluation): the limit is 2^32-1, so it's up to how much the server and tools can handle. Adrian Dumitrascu. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Localized Unit Test

  Hi, I have a Unit test assembly that contains a test form that is localized. A satellite assembly is built for the unit test which is all fine and well. However, when I run the unit test, the test framework copies the unit test assembly into another directory .....\TestResults\.....\Out\test.dll but the satellite assemblies are *not* copied (causing my unit test to fail). This seems like a bug Andrew Hello Have you tried adding the satellite assembly to the deployment section in your testrunconfig You can do this from the Test menu Test->Edit Test Run Configurations In the dialog select Dep ...Show All
