• Visual Studio Team System Is GUI mapping possible in VSTS?

  Hi, How will VSTS recognize the objects of web page Like in WinRunner we have GUI mapping to recognize that in a particular web page we have certain images and buttons. If they are recognized then where are the details stored this version of VSTS does not support GUI testing. you can use some 3rd party GUI automated test tools, such as Mercury's QuickTest Professional or AutomatedQA's TestComplete to create GUI tests. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unlock a DLL file for someone no longer at company

  How do you unlock/uncheckout a file for someone that has left the company...that NT account is no longer active...and, I can't switch DLL to enable multi-checkout because of other VSTS bugs DLL is one of the types setup to disable merging by default. This means that any time someone checks one out, it automatically gets a checkout lock, as well. To change whether merging is enabled for various file types, open Team Explorer and connect to your Team Foundation Server. Right-click on the root node, and select "Team Foundation Server Settings" -> "Source Control File Types". In the dia ...Show All

• Visual C++ Errors when linking Managed C++ DLLs

  I'm getting some strange output when I compile (or more accurately when linking) Managed C++ projects in Visual Studio 2005. I had started with a large project that was converted from the previous .NET (2003/1.1) MC++ syntax. However, I've been able to create the same effect with a few simple steps. So, if I create a new C++ "CLR Empty Project" in VS 2005; add some simple code (example shown below); change the "Configuration Type" to "Dynamic Library (.dll)" and compile I get a bunch of errors when linking (also shown below). Any ideas what this is and more importantly, how to solve it Code Example ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visio and Visual Studio 2005 (Standard)

  I have Visio 2003 (Professional) on my system and I would like to use it with Visual Studio 2005 for reverse engeneering without having the expense of upgrading my Visual Studio edition. Is this possible If not why not - seems to me one purchases Visio in good faith and then purchases VS2005 in good faith but they do not work together! If this is true it would be like being unable to embed an Excel spreadsheet in a Word document! Hoping someone hears... Thanks, Kurt Sorry, but the fact that you have class designer built in to Visual Studio 2005, while a nice feature is a cop out. I do really like th ...Show All

• .NET Development How to connect to ODBC from VB Express 2005

  I don't understand how to connect to a ODBC database from VB Express 2005. Here's my problem: When I go to add data source, I'm offered the choices of mySQL and another MS database on my machine. But no ODBC. To test the availability of my data, I opened Visual Web Developer and used the similar procedure: Add data source. There my data is listed in the selections box and when I add it, I can read all the data in each table. So it appears by my database is available as a "system" ODBC source. What do I need to do differently in BV Express I've worked on this for hours! JS This is correct by design, the Expres ...Show All

• Visual C# Compiling a native C DLL for use in VC# using DllImport

  Hi Group! I'm a C# newbie (real wet and raw) as well as a complete newbie to Microsoft OS programming. Normally I use native 'C' on Posix complient platforms - which I've been doing for many decades. Scruitinsed this BB for an answer but can't find anything close.
