• .NET Development SelectSingleNode XPATH to match single quoted data

• .NET Development XMLDocument.Load Proxy Error 407

  Hi All, I am trying to use the XMLDocument.Load method to load an XML document from a web site ( http://www.xxx.com/file.xml ).

All I can specify there is the URLResolver and pass some credentials, but no proxy. I am using VB.NET 2005 PRO, and will be usi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Forgot password for TFSService

  I forgot the password that I setup for TFSService. Since our Domain requires the password to be changed every 90 days, I proceeded to change the password. I also updated the password in the Team Foundation Windows services that utilized it. Unfortunately, I found out that I should have used the tfsadminutil tool instead of trying to find all the places to update the password manually. I really don't understand why there is an "OldPasswor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office 1 Add-In uses .net 1.1, a second uses .net 2.0

  Hello; I just created a simple Add-In using VS 2003. I also have VS 2005 & .net 2.0 (release) installed on my computer. The .net 1.1 Add-In would only run if I created a winword.exe.config file setting the runtime to .net 1.1. Without that Word would exit during it's startup (no message, no crash - just exit). With the config it runs fine. So, what if someone wants to run two Add-Ins with Word, one built under .net 1.1 and one built under .n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System REFRESH files and TFS

  I think I must be missing something as regards how web service projects work in a team environment. Perhaps someone can explain the missing link for me. Upon installation, the default location for Visual Studio projects is within My Documents. Keep this in mind for a moment. When a web service is created that requires an external assembly, you add a reference just like you would any other type of project. For a web service, t ...Show All
