• Visual Studio Team System requirements management

  hi, I'm trying to determine how VS 2005 handles Requirements Management. I've read that VS provides a means for managing requirement traceability, and will produce a REquirements Traceability matrix. Has anyone used this functionality in VS 2005 I've used Requisite Pro in the past and have been very happy with it, if anyone can compare VS 2005 to Req Pro in terms of Requirements Management, that would be great! thanks, Ryan As far as it has been explained to me, there is no 'out of the box' requirements solution. There are 3rd party tools that are working on integration with VSTS, Ca ...Show All

• .NET Development Using shared (static) members

  Hi! Is anybody aware of any drawbacks when using shared (static) members inside classes. Apart from design issues and braking some of OOP rules, are there any performance issues, like bad memory usage or increased overhead when calling them ps 1. I think My.Brain would be better than Me.Brain. I would make it easier to find! ps 2. I some times think that Brain should implement the IDisposable interface. Just in case! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Dynamically attach an assembly to an Excel File

  Hello I have the follwing problem. I have a VSTO 2005 smart document for Excel that will be deployed on a web share. This assembly should be accessed by excel files. As far as I understood I should use clickonce to do that, and dynamically load my dependent assemblies when the application starts, to make them present in the IE cache for offline working. But I have a complication: the Excel file does not exists, nor does a template for this file. This File is generated by a tool on a server and then downloaded by the user. I have the power to make changes to the created file on the server. I want to dynamically link the created file to the as ...Show All

• 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

  Hi - I have a master package that executes a series of other packages. Each of these 'sub' packages has the security property Encryption Level set to 'EncryptSensitiveWithPassword'. The master package has a series of file connections in the Connection Manager, one for each sub package, in which the password of the corresponding sub package is provided. When I run the master package in BIDS (in interactive mode) it opens each of the sub packages, requests the password and gives the 'Document contains one or more lines of extremely long text' dialog box.
