• Visual C# Web Page using C#

  I created a new web page in VStudio 2003.  Then I drag a control (any control) over to the web page.  VS snaps the control to the top left corner of the page and when I try and move it, it snaps it back to the top left of the page.  Before you ask, yes, my page layout is GridLayout. Any suggestions Thanks hi may be u can reposition these type of controls by editting the html code example u can insert some <br> to make the position of the control down by a line instead of being the most top left corner ex:    <br>    <br>    <br&g ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MS project problem

  Hi, We are using VSTS for the scenario explained below; let me start with some background first. Background: 1. We have three different modules in a project. 2. Leads of each module prepare their own mpp. 3. We have some common resources, across the modules. Assumption: 4. Team lead assumes that, at any point of time, the common resource is available to his module, and prepares the mpp accordingly. Requirement: 5. a) We need to merge three mpps. b) We need to perform resource leveling. (Say by project manager). c) And re-publish the modified mpp to the module leads. (From 4, it ...Show All

• Visual C++ Atlwin.h and VS.NET 2005

  I'm working on a project (HydraIRC) using a modified version of atlwin.h. When converting this project to VC8 I've encountered some errors, which all have been resolved except for some with atlwin.h (CWndProcThunk) . I've tried using the standard atlwin.h (only to meet more errors), and tried several modifications to it. I've tried just replacing the one section with no luck as well. I've used a recent (if not most recent) PSDK, and what was included with VS.NET 2005 standard for this. Errors: c:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\04.16.06.HydraIRC.VS.NET.2005\HydraIRC - 2005\HydraIRC\include\altered_ms_includes\atlwin.h(2231) : error C214 ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Calendar.TwoDigitYearMax

• Software Development for Windows Vista So we're n00bs doing a project, what should we use?

  We are working on a custom Motion Tracking system for a web camera.  Basically what we're doing is to capture a still from a web camera and tracking an object as it moves through a scene by taking some stills a few times a second and sending a signal to move a platform to center the camera on the last known position on the object.  Essentially this is a development for motion tracking for web cameras that do not have built-in motion tracking capabilities.  However we have never done programming in DirectX and are not sure which to use, DirectShow or DirectInput.  Which is the best choice to use (or is something e ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I create an application which will download and stream files from the RTP/RTSP Protocol?

  Hello, Is it possible to create a programme which will allow me to either download the file or stream from the web server with the following protocols: RTP/RTSP/PNM So far I've managed it with the other protocols, HTTP, FTP, etc... I've tried the same methods and a few variations but can't the files to stream or download from RTSP protocols. Is this possible at all in Visual Basic .NET 2005 There's no built-in support for these protocols in .NET.

• Visual Studio Team System Create a Test List in VSTE For Dev

  I am trying to set up a build type in Team Foundation Server that runs a set of unit tests as part of the build process. However all the docs I see reference features I can't find. I suspect they are part of TE for Testers, which I don't have. How can someone who does not have Team Suite, or Team Edition for Testers create a build type that can run unit tests Unfortunately that is correct, test list creation is only fully supported in Team Suite or the Tester edition.   I'm not saying it can't be done - the "test list" and build config files are in XML so in a real pinch it's possible to manu ...Show All
