• Visual Studio Team System Problem with MS Project plugin

Every time I select "Publish new and changed assignments" it says that I removed resources from tasks and asks to publish the cancellation even thought I didn't!!!

I made quite an extensive research of this problem on the Internet but with no result :( Can anyone out there give me a hand with this or at least a direction on what to check Se ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Resource management

  I was wondering how much difference improving my resource management would make to my applications performance. I use a lot of Sprite animations in my game, that use D3DXSprite. With the animations I know that once I have displayed a frame that image won't be needed again for a while and also know which texture I will want for the next frame. So I wondered how much difference it would make to performance if I wrote a system that would Lower the Priority level of used frames and PreLoad frames that I knew were going to be used in the next frames. Also, if I have displayed a texture frame is there a way to evict that texture from memory Can a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Not sure how to approach this

  Hi, all. I am writing a custom validation rule to validate certain fields in a data grid. I was trying to use the collection of tags in the response to parse it to get the value in the grid field. So, I started from grabbing all the tags. But my grid data looks as following: <td>value</td>. I guess I can only get the tag attributes taking this approach. Can you recommend me how to get the element value by parsing the HTML response Please let me know if I am not clear in my explanation or if you need more details. Thank you.

• Windows Forms How to access PageSettings in User.Config

  I am trying to make my app "remember" the last PageSettings and figured that the User.Config file is the proper place to store them.

• Visual FoxPro Calling a report with a command button on a form

  I'm trying to call/open a report with a command button that resides on a form.  How can I do this   I'm new to VFP & I've searched the help file but found nothing. As Andy said, you can set it up in a startup program. That is a better option than hard-coding it in a Config.FPW How do you set up a startup program Create a simple text file called CONFIG.FPW (if you have one already just modify it). Add there any SETtings you want at startup. VFP will read this file first if found (you generally put it in your startup directory). Here's a sample. All lines are optional, just use what you want. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Reset Form and Delete DataSet

  Hi everyone, I have a form that gets filled with all kinds of goodies (listboxes, treeviews, textboxes, labels, etc). A dataset also gets created programatically with a single table (6 columns and probably 100 rows). I'm looking for a way to quickly reset the form back to its original state and delete the dataset. I found: Application.Restart() which looks like it resets the form like I want it to. Two questions: Any repercussions to using Application.Restart or is this what it's designed for How in heck do you delete a dataset There's got to be an easy way to do this that I seem to be missing! I seem to be able to f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions PrintDocument

  I had written some fairly decent code in VB.NET 2003 to Print out a listing of my movie collection. Multiple pages, columns etc. I imported my program into VB Express and although the majority of the code runs fine in Express, the PrintDocument code just freezes. It compiles fine and gives no error messages while executing, it just freezes. I have to Cntl/Alt/Del to get started again. Any ideas Thanks Pete Pete, Can you share the PrintDocument code with us When you say it "just freezes", if you look in Task Manager does it show "Not responding" for your app Steve Hoag ...Show All
