• Visual Studio Team System how to increase attachment upload limits for defects

  Does anyone know how to change the default upload limit of 4MB for adding attachments to defects I've got a need to upload files that are up to 10MB. ASP.NET generally has a 4MB upload limit by default, so I guess this is the issue. Try changing the parameter below in your web.config file in the web services folder of TFS - this one should give you a limit of 10MB for uploads. <httpRuntime maxRequestLe ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro function argument is invalid...

  I have a problem with this message and a few similar once. When I get it I invoke the debugger and attempt to examine the variable/argument. In this particular case it is a memner of an array. I suspect that instead of a character string it got an .F. value but it is hard to prove because I cannot examine it. If I attempt to look at it in Command Window I will get the same message that it is invalid. More than that, some other related, neighbour ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Are there any drawbacks to this?

  Hi again! I had this freaky idea earlier today where I decided to render my entire GUI to a texture and render this texture to the screen. This way, I don't have to go through my entire GUI rendering process every frame, which seems to double my framerate in GUI intensive situations. I only update this texture when when the GUI needs updating. I can't shake off this dodgy feeling that this can't be a good way to do things though. Is there ...Show All
