• Visual Studio Team System How to get the file name containing a certain class

  Hi fellows , My team lead asked me to devlop a rules dll to check our custom rules. One of the rules is that the class name must match the file name in which it is contained. Could we make it using the introspection engine. I am using FxCop 1.35 Thanks in advance Hi Yousry, as FxCop does analysis on binaries, we rely on .pdb files for retrieving source and line information. The .pdb files however only contain source and line information for executable lines of code. Because of this, FxCop can't tell you where class definitions are located in source. You could check if executable code live ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to manually populate Find Results window

  Howdy, Is there a way to programmatically populate the Find Results window without supporting the full Find/Replace framework (via IVsFindTarget etc..)   Similar to creating custom tasks in the task list Thanks Eric Hi Eric, The Find Results window is not extensible right now so you won't be able to insert text there.  However, you can do this via the output window via IVsOutputWindow and IVsOutputWindowPane. I hope this helps! Regards, Fiona ...Show All

• SQL Server Disaster Recovery Process - Cannot restore Master

  Hello All, I have a production SQL 2005 sp1 server running on Windows 2003. The SQL server was upgraded from SQL 2000. In SQL 2000 our disaster recovery plan consisted of making daily backups of all system databases and user databases. If we did have a system failure, we would copy those databases to a different physical server, Open SQL in single user mode and restore master. We would then restart the SQL service in normal mode and continue restoring the system databases then the user databases. Now with SQL 2005, I am testing this process by attempting to restore all of the databases into our rebuild DEV server. I have SQL ...Show All

• Visual Studio AssemblyInfo task

  I am trying to use the AssemblyInfo task in my team build, from this blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/msbuild/archive/2005/11/11/491947.aspx A few questions: - rather than editing each .vb/.csproj file, is there a way to set assemblyinfo details across all assemblies in a team build - what about web apps that dont have an assemblyinfo file - is there an easy way to use the $(BuildNumber) property in Team Build as the assembly version numbers I ask because I have different branches in source control for each testing environment we have (dev, test, stage, live). I have a build type on each branch and the build from each never makes i ...Show All

• Visual C# is there a windows like moving file dialog form?

  when you copy large files in windows you get that "Copying..." dialog box which show 2 folder icons and paper moving from one to the other. It also shows a progress bar and the time remaining. Does a form exist in Visual Studio already to do this. I see "File Save" and "File Open" in the toolbox, but nothing which'll create this automatically. The .NET framework doesn’t have anything like that built in however instead of building your own you can use the dialogs that are provided by the Windows shell. Take a look at this Code Project article for some sample code. Sadly the c ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using my own usercontrol simple question i hope

  Hi all I've just written my own simple Graph control to teach myself a bit about graphics. I compiled it  for release and saved it. I then went to another project and added the new control to my toolbox. All fine so far! But i notice that i can single step - debug and edit the code for my control!!! which is nice i suppose but if i do edit it. What happens to it   does just this local copy get altered or is the original being altered also. I didn't add the code to my project just added the usercontrol to the toolbox! Thanks Mike Pooley Hi Yes it is a class. But I didn't add it as a file to another project. I built it and th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Install Team Foundation Server

  When I attempt to install Team Foundation Server (I've tried both single-server and dual-server install) I get to a dialog which has only one option on it - Uninstall. Huh I've never had TFS installed on this machine to begin with! I even humored it by running the uninstall, but this didn't help at all. On the next installation attempt I still come to the same impasse. The installer only offers the option to uninstall. Any idea what might be wrong Thanks for any advice which you can offer!

• Visual Basic Control Y !!!

  What have you people done to Control-Y For the past 10 years that I've used Windows this meant REDO (opposite of UNDO). In VB2005 it deletes a line. SERIOUSLY!!! not funny. Control Y deleting a line pre-dates windows. (I remember it from wordstar back in 1983) That being said it is likely that you have chosen a profile which had these mappings. You can change them or pick a new profile. Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Keyboard Mapping scheme. Hope that helps... ...Show All
