• Visual C++ Emacs Keybinding indentation problem

  I set the keybinding under Tools --> Options --> Environment --> Keyboard to include Emacs style. Now the indentation's are definetly incorrect, here is an example of how it thinks it should look: int main() { int i = 0; //This line is definetly indented wrong } That is definetly not right. Any advice Thanks, Halsafar Okay other problems with this and a minor fix: Home/End = Start of document and End of document which is not how I know Emacs to be. Should be simply end of line/start of line Minor fix: Turned off auto-brace indenting, now the braces ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Accessing Test Fixtures from Team Policy

  Coders, I am trying to write a Policy for Visual Studio Team System. From my policy I need to be able to access the Test Fixtures for the currently loaded Solution in Visual Studio . I can probably think of a few hacky ways I can do this myself but I would assume there to be some sort of elegant object model that I can take advantage of. If there was some sort of programmatic access to the Test Manager widget this would be ideal. If any one can guide me towards any assemblies or extension points to Visual Studio that gives me access to the Test Manager or some object model around the Test Fixtures for the Visual Studi ...Show All

• SQL Server What are the current best practices for standardizing report layout and appearance?

  I am accustomed to the Actuate enterprise reporting system in which it is very easy to define reusable page formats that standardize things like page layout, margins, logo placement, page header and footer formatting, etc. You just drag and drop a page layout from your component library to inherit from it, and ensure that all your reports have the same consistent format. What if any features and tools are there to accomplish this in 2005 Reporting Services I see the style template feature of the new report wizard, but that only seems to apply to font settings for report elements, and these settings are not inherited, only copied into the ne ...Show All
