• Windows Forms UI automation testing

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sample Framework

  I've been looking over the sample framework (empty project) and I can see a lot of useful things in there that would be great if I didnt have to reinvent the wheel, mostly in terms of handling input and GUI code, but... Even though the sample framework code has a lot of comments, it's still very hard to follow and feels like it's all over the place. I realise we all have different coding styles but I was wondering if anyone has some kind of ...Show All

• SQL Server adding a stored proc to a publication

  Hi I created a publication (merge anonymous via Web) - the subscriber already had the data, so there was no need to to initialize data and schema. The problem is when it comes to adding a new stored proc to the publication. I create the proc, add it as an article to the publication and recreate the snapshot ok, but then the synchronisation fails. I  presume this is because the stored proc does not exist at the subscriber. I bet it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to close parent form?

  I know that I can't do this in VB2005... ecentinela said: "At last, I have changed the "Shudown mode" to "When last form closes" on "My project" and now this code is valid" Cool..... The default Way suggests that one must end with the start Proc(Form,etc) ....The other choice allows many starts and many ends..... Which is way more General and better in my humble opinion............. ...Show All

• SQL Server Management Studio all databases . . .

  I see that Management Studio lists all databases, even ones that the user doesn't have access to.  I thought this was going to be fixed so I've been watching it from CTP to CTP throughout the year.  But I can see view a list of all databases on a server even if I'm simply a db_owner on one database.  I've tested this on the September CTP build. Microsoft posted a KB article to resolve this for Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000) just l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Search on status on whole project?

  I would like to query the whole source control tree, to get a list of currently pending status of items. Because I want to know who is working on what or want to rearange the tree and minimize the work for other developers. Furtheremore our QA team wants to know which items are currently under construction.... I noticed there is no option for this in the UI(there was this search functionality in VSS, so more people might run into this same ...Show All

  I'm using VS 2003. With a Dell Axim x51 (with Windows Mobile 2005) It has embedded in the rom CF 2.0 (i believe). The proxy address is port 80, and I'm given an IP, username, and password.

Sometimes I get 407 error (which is enter proxy credientials), or a timeout, and if you notice I increased the request timeout to ...Show All

• Visual Studio crystal report export causes missing database

  Hi all, this is quite a mystery for me. I'm working on a program that connects to an access database and generates a report from a dataset. The reports work fine but problem occurs after a report is exported into any of the given formats. I'm using the built in export button found on the crystal viewer. When I export, I choose a location and export it, and it works fine. However, after that any function that accesses the database will not ...Show All

• SQL Server MS Access & SQL Server 2005

  Hi- I currently have a solution developed in MS Access, but we're in the process of migrating it to SQL Server 2005. I'm looking for the best way to communicate with SQL server either VIA ODBC or some other method. I don't want to use linked tables in Access, I'd really like to avoid DAO and JET if at all possible. What is the best or standard way of connecting essentially a VB backend to SQL Server 2005 Can someone point me at a good tut ...Show All

• Visual C# Specifyng "Font" With Trace File and Resource File Messages

  Hello ... I was wondering if there is any documentation on writing resource file strings to a trace file, and using a specific font. As a supplement/alternative ... is there any way to embed control characters for things like TABs in resource file strings to that you can clean up the output of a printed list of rows so they will start in the same location. For example: Phone1: 301 555-1212 // Tab between the colon and the first digit ...Show All
