• Visual Studio Team System Newbie confusion on TFS and VS.NET. Enlightment needed.

  I setup a TFS Team project (under Beta 3). Next I created a New project (not a Team project) in VS.NET 2005, right-clicked the project name, and selected "Add project to source control". I received the message "The current project must be saved before it can be added to source conrol." Huh I want to save it in TFS and it won't let me do. (I forgot to define a workspace... maybe that's what it wanted. But when I attemped to de ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System different processes depending on iteration

  I was giving a demo on VSTS to management today and they hit me with a question that I wasn't really prepared for. They want to be able to have different processes for one team project depending on iteration. I stated that I didn't think this was available in VSTS, but I am wondering if I gave answered this question correctly. If the iteration is very small, say only a couple days to code, test and deploy they want it to use a more agile process ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro report export to excel differs from print preview and print

  When using Visual Foxpro 8, I notice that my subtotals based on 2 report variables that calculate sums per group in the 4th data grouping are continuing to accumulate instead of resetting after each group when I export to excel but appear fine when I do a print or print preview.  I tried deleting and re-adding the grouping only to get the same result.  Strangely, I also notice some of my text labels have also shifted over to the r ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Automatic GPRS connections

  I'd been fighting with this issue off and on for a few weeks ... OpenNetCF's ConnectionManager worked fine for the Treo 700w, but I had no end of problems on the Cingular 2125 (HTC Faraday). I ended up with a less than ideal solution, but one that may benefit others. We're a Cingular reseller with unlimited monthly data, so always-on is not a problem for us. Turns out that the Cingular GPRS entry in the Cingular 2125 registry has an "Alw ...Show All

• Visual C++ What are the differences...

  ...between Win32, MFC, and Shell programming   Which one should I learn first   Thanks! It really depends on what type of applications you want to develop and what type of technologies you are already familiar with. Also, I would advise you to at least understand the general idea of all 3 technologies to help yourself decide which to use. I am sure others on the forum might have different opinions ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF config schemas not updated in Feb 2006 CTP

  Hi, On all my installations of WinFX Feb 2006 CTP VS Extensions ('Orcas') the main WCF config schema is not updated. I'm talking about Intellisense schema that is used to suggest attribute/element names/values inside Visual Studio 2005. It seems that Jan CTP schema is installed with the package, which makes VS config development a pain. Can somebody confirm this and possibly provide an updated 'Orcas' package or just an updated DotNetCo ...Show All

• Windows Forms User Control child controls move around

  Hello, I built a custom control, basically just the UserControl and a Label at the top to form the box header. I also used: [Designer(typeof(ParentControlDesigner))] which enabled me to add child controls at designtime. The problem is that sometimes after a debugging session, upon return to the designtime IDE, all the child components on the UserControl have been moved arround, sometimes I can't even see them any more as they have ...Show All
