• Visual Studio Team System Capture ISO image in Virtual PC (en_vs_2005_team_suite_dvd_beta2.iso)

  I do not have a DVD drive.  I have installed all software except Team System in a Virtual PC environment.  I have downloaded all required software from MSDN and I have successfully captured all DVD content up to now. I get an error message stating: The file does not appear to be a CD image.  blah blah.... Is there any workaround besides copying the image to the Virtual PC (which will bloat my image and I'm low on space)   I cannot network to my host as the Virtual PC is a domain controller (per Team Foundation installation instructions) and I'm paranoid about having that on our network. Any help would be appreciated! ...Show All

How do I fix this. Thanks. Hello, I am not sure what you meant by question 1. Regarding emulator being too large, you can change the switch your monitor to higher resolution or disable the skin (if you can manage without that). You can also specify the video size using Visual Studio Emulator Config dialog, if you want emulator to be smaller. -Thanks, Mohit ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Explorer and Solution Explorer - how they compare?

  Hi folks, i've been struggling with the idea of the TFS explorer and the Solution explorer. I've been programming with VS2002 and then VS2003 and have no problems understanding the Solution explorer in that piece of software. For example, we have 4 class libraries and 2 web applications in my main solution i use. Now with TFS explorer installed in my VS2005, i'm confussed between the two and the relationship of sourcesafe. For example, previously i could have my own solution that contains various projects found in sourcesafe. My collegue could have their own solution which could contain _some_ of my sourcesafe projects, and o ...Show All

• .NET Development XML and Datagrids

  Hi I'm trying to read an xml file and show results in Datagrid (the normal one in Windows Forms). The xml schema shows me that there are several tables (not related) and one table PSC5 which has 18 child table. I'm using ReadXml function throught a dataset created at the runtime.

• Visual Studio Team System Can't use any login to TFS Server but Administrator and TFSSETUP

  I have TFS (R1) installed on a server called mars. The server mars is a member of the domain nsystems, whose domain server is called jupiter. I run Visual Studio Team Exporer on my machine named gb1, using my domain account nsystems\gb. When I try to connect to TFS on mars, I am prompted for a login to TFS.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Animation in directX continue

  I'm DirectX begginer, trying to animate flying bird. I'm exporting the bird object from 3d max8. I don't undestand if animation is done by DirectX (and how), or I have to do it in 3d max before export to DirectX. Normally the bird's wings will be animated in max and then you'd use that animation track in your program. The movement of the bird will be done programmatically. (This is not the only way, but it's a reasonable way to do this.) If you're not able to create an animated bird in max (and I can't tell you how), and you still want it to flap its wings, you'd have to fudge it some other way, suc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Workaround ( Serious Smart Tags Problem (a bug?))

  Hello, Using Word Smart Tags Sample sample. Smart tags get processed only if there is no other Word windows open. If there's ANY Word window, or even a hidden WINWORD.EXE server process running, VSTO smart tags are ignored. Such behavior sadly renders Smart Tags useless for users who keep an open instance of Word for any editing purpose. Even Outlook with Word as the editor may cause this. Note, this applies to VSTO smart tags only, the shared COM smart tags work OK. Here is how to repro: Download and compile the Word Smart Tags Sample sample.
