• Visual C# Enter button sensitivity in Console Apps (C# Express)

  Hi I've been trying to run a program which asks a user for coordinates of several lines.  The code then uses pythagoras to calculate the length of these lines.  However, the problem that I'm having is when a user enters the first coordinate and presses enter, they get no opportunity to enter the remaining ones.  It's alomost as though whne the enter button is pressed, the program thinks it has been hit more than once and skips the remaining coordinate input. I don't think it's the code - I think it may be the C# Express editor.  If so, is there anyway to alter the 'Enter' key sensitivity I'm open to suggestions. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot access Documents in Team Explorer when not logged on as TFSSETUP

  I have the Beta 3 Refresh of TFS installed. I logged in as TFSSETUP and created a new Team Project (AdventureWorks). In addition, I added my personal id to the admin groups in the Team Foundation Server Security Group and Windows SharePoint Services Role. In the server/reports server, I added BUILTIN\Users to the Properties\Security (this was not enabled by default and thus everyone other than server administrators received security errors for the project portal web parts... which was not well documented, btw) When I connect in Team Explorer as TFSSETUP and access the Adventureworks Team Project, everything is fine.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Help with storing textures in classes

  Hello everyone, I was wondering how I should go about creating a texture from a file and storing the pointer inside a class I defined. I have tried to do this by creating the pointer in the class and using the D3DXCreateTextureFromFile function, but when I run the program, an error box appears and says that an error has been encountered and needs to close.

I would greatly appreciate any advice, I would like to know if storing textures in classes is possible. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to manage several projects in one team foundation server

  Hi, I'de like to know if there are best practices or methodologies to guide us how to manage several projects (with no relations between them) on one team foundation server. Thant means: hardware, disk space, permissions for each project, administration and so on. Thanks, Michael We haven't published a lot of content in this area yet, but here are some general notes: Hardware - it depends on the demands you place on the server. Ten projects supporting 50 users on a server will likely place less demand on a server than five projects supporting 500 users. Disk space - it depends on factors such as the combin ...Show All
