• Visual Studio Team System Disabling checkin policy override

  I really like Team System's concept of check in policy; however, there seems to be no way to turn off the option to let user override the policies. There may be some policies that my developers MUST adhere to, no exceptions. Period. There doesn't seem to be a way to turn off this override capability. Am I wrong about this Thanks. I haven't seen anything that would disable the override checkin, however you could consider a slightly different solution. You could send an alert or email out to a reviewer or administrator whenever the policy is overridden. Let me know if this is a viable solution and I'll forwar ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sum in Query Expression

  Is it possible to do the following using query expression syntax: decimal total = customers     .SelectMany(c => c.Orders)     .Sum(o => o.Total); Or can this only be done presently with the extension methods Not every Standard Query Operator is currently represented by a Query Expression analog.  But since Query Expressions all return IEnumerable<T>, and since Standard Query Operators are extension methods that operate on IEnumerable<T>, .Sum() can be invoked on the result of a Query Expression: (some_query_expression).Sum() -Scott ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint Permissions

  I know this thread has been widely discussed in the forum but I couldn't find a solution yet. I followed step by step the single-server installation guide but when I try to create a new project I always get the same error saying I need to be an administrator of SharePoint. I'm using an active directory user that is member of the administrators group (all of them). If I try to access SharePoint Central Administration I just can't log in so I can't add members to SharePoint services administrator group. It seems like if the administrator is not allowed!!!

• Visual Studio unused/unreferenced dlls in the \bin directory

  When I build/compile my windows form app (Framework v2.0), dlls are put into the \bin directory that shouldn't be there.  For example, I had a reference to the Interop.DTS.dll while testing execution of a DTS package from my app.  I decided to not use that functionality and removed the refrence from my project, however the dll is still added to the \bin folder.  I have a few dlls like this.  Is there someplace else besides MyProject\References section that these dlls would be listed/attached/refrenced   I checked all of my code and can't find a refrence/Import statement for any of the troublesome dlls.

• .NET Development update SqlExpress dataTables fails

  I seem not to be able to update any table in my database. Not through the dataTableAdapter 's Update command, nor through a sqlCommand Object (command .ExecuteNonQuery()), although recordsAffected returns > 0. Am I missing something Found the solution in the free downloadable book 'Build a program now' at the 'Registration Benifit Program' p154 (text in blue). In brief there are 2 copies of the database: 1 in the application folder and 1 in the bin\debug folder. At design time the database in the app folder is used while at run time the other one.

• Visual Studio Team System Invalid Build Type

  I have a problem running build types through the IDE. I created our Team projects and added build types for each through the wizard. One project has no problem running the build type. Most of the others state "BuildTypeName is not a valid build type". And the last project states I need "update Build Permissions". None of my permissions changed in between creating any of these project, so I am not not sure why I get that last error. As far as the "not a valid build type" message, this happens with just the wizard generated code. I thought maybe I had edited some value incorrectly inside the XML, but even unedited build type files give this er ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook and Word Addins

  I have written a C# application which uses Word 2003 Application and Documents via Interop. I display a Word document in the user control which in turn is in the Windows Form. All works fine until I open the Outlook when my program is running. Once when Outlook gets opened, I heard it shares the Addins of the Word 2003. When I close my application the Winword.exe is still available in the task manager. When Outlook is closed it will not terminate this Winword.exe instance either making it a orphan. I need to kill it manually from the task manager. My questions: 1. How do I prevent Outlook from using the word addins whether it is opened ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do i make a vb.net 1.1 client side web browser object

  I have looked every where, why is there no working examples of making a client side web browser object. You could do it in old vb. And people say you can do it in vb.net, but only give half explained info, that does not seem to work. I have come accross pages saying you can just make a program or user control, and just embed it using object on you web page. but they never give full examples, or do not work. most say make a dll, but you can't share a dll on IIS, so i used another web server, and they still dont work. i need a full example, including web page I got it to work finaly, seems it dont work if the ...Show All
