• Visual Studio Team System Project Server Integration

  I read on Brian Harry's latest post: http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2005/10/01/476030.aspx  and he mentioned a small change in the way fields are mapped to MSFT Project... however, has there been any work done in integrating directly with Project Server   I read awhile back that integration was going to be enhanced, just not sure if it made it into TF Beta 3 or not. Thanks, ~slee No, I'm afraid we didn't add any project server integration in Beta 3 (nor do we plan to for V1 :().  It's a common request and a priority for the next version.  We are working on something in the "Power Toy ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net 2.0 release version breaks VS 2005b2?

  I have just upgraded my .Net frameworks to 2.0 release version, and in the process, I had to uninstall the previous beta version and also some other stuff like the compact framework.

Maybe this is not even possible Items on my Form: MonthCalendar1 Label1 Textbox1 Button1 Ok this is a kind of to-do-list.

• Visual Studio Team System CA1030 UseEventsWhereAppropriate warns about methods named Raise<EventName>.

  Using 1.35 rc1, it warns about methods that have the prefix 'Raise'. Would like to understand the rationale behind this, as we use Raise<EventName>() as the name of the protected virtual method that raises the <EventName> event. Why should it be flagged Example: protected virtual void RaisePersistenceCompleted(PCEventArgs e) { EventHandler handler = PersistenceCompleted; if (handler != null) { handler(this, e); } } Thanks. Michael Not entirely. This rule was designed to warn new .NET users (typically C++ devs) when they attempted to reproduce the same functionality already ...Show All

• Visual Basic Shared Classes

  I thought I read a while back that VS.NET 2005 would introduce a way to specify that a class is shared without having to use a private constructor.  I know that C# 2005 supports the static keyword for this purpose.  Is there a similar technique in VB Thanks, Lance   There isn't a way to disable that behavior. However, assuming your problem with that is that intellisense can get cluttered, you could nest your module in a namespace: Namespace Module1    Module Module1       Public x as integer    End Module End Namespace Yea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS and Excel integration

• Visual Basic Determine which link label was clicked

  I have 10 linklabels and all have events connected to a sub. When a link is clicked, it will open a form whose controls are created based on which link was clicked. So instead of using a seperate sub event for each linklabel, I put them all to one sub. But, I cannot figure out how to tell which linklabel was clicked. Any ideas The first parameter passed into your event is the link that was clicked. You can check which one it is with =, or you can cast it and use properties such as Text or Tag to work out which one it was. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Student-Developer-Hobbyist

  Hello out there! I'm excited to have received a copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express! I have had previous experience with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003, as a student. I continue to be a student, as well as a hobbyist, and, hopefully, some day, a professional software product developer! To this end, I would like to, if at all possible, obtain a downloadable copy of Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 Express Manual - so that I could peruse the data and use it, along with sample projects, so that I could become comfortable with deployment of the suite. As much as I enjoyed the Visual Studio .NET 2003, I am really looking forwar ...Show All

• Visual C# Open new form when button is pressed

  When i make several forms in the same projects, i want them to open when i press buttons in the forms. I double-click on a button to view the code-part, and I want to make a new object of a form that I want to pop up when that button is pressed. Say Form1 f = new Form. When I start typing Form1, VS will show a list of matching forms, but sometimes the forms i want to use doesnt show, and I cant make objects of them. Does anyone know why I have saved them and they're in the same project... yes its different name space so you can't see it unless you imported the other name space in your form1 if this is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Advice: Need your design advice for outlook addin

  I'd be grateful for any design advice regarding an VSTO Outlook add-in I am trying to build. When the user starts Outlook, I want to have a default form (perhaps replacing the default "blank" email space) where the sender enters some information and the email is then generated for them - where the sender can continue to edit the mail from that point. I know how to create a dialog upon loading a "new" email and then generate the final email - but I was hoping it could become part of the default email form they could use. Can you please share a few design steps ideas that would do accomplish this Maybe there is ...Show All
