• Visual Studio Team System Anyone familiar with the web test in team systems?

  Joined the Vancovuer Launch Event 2005, the guy demoed web test, to create a user then use validator to check the result is correct or not. How about this scenario In the web test demo of team system, how can we get the failed information automatically if the user was created twice If we test this manually, obviously we human can read the error message "This account has been exist!" and if it's not exist, "Your account is created successfully". The best way to accomplish this is to add one of the built in validation rules to the request.  You could add the Validate Text rule which searches for text in the response and if it fi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Transacted MSMQ Binding Sample in IIS

  I am trying to learn how to use message queuing in WCF and I have been looking at the transacted msmq binding sample in the SDK.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CRUD like operations in LINQ

  Linq is wonderful for my integer programming application. It has eliminated the need for a backend DB, reduced tremendously the amount of code, and the execution time has been cut in half.   I am wondering if there is a simpler way of doing CRUD like operations in Linq, especially Updates and Deletes on a list (Shifts in this case) like we do in SQL   Delete From Shifts Where ShiftID IN 1,2,3 Update Shifts Set NumPeople=10 Where ShiftD=21   I am accomplishing this currently by iterating through the list.   Anders Hejlsberg wrote: List<T> (the new generic list ...Show All

• Windows Forms Combobox Usage VS2003 -> VS2005

  I need to populate a C# Combobox with potentially several thousand items. I know this is not recommended but this is after horiz data splitting so it's the best I can do. In VS2003, I tried binding to a dataset but this was way too slow so I started loading the Itemlist from a datareader and it worked great. No more than 2 seconds to load several thousand items and memory usage stayed well within reasonable limits. I tried the same code compiled under VS2005 hoping to use Autocomplete and it worked well for very small lists but was many times slower for the normal lists I use. Several minutes compared to a couple of seconds. Additionally, th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage not worknig properly during a team build

  Hello I have a problem with the team builds. In my proj file I have specified to build my solution, to run tests without specifying any test list. All my tests run correctly.
