Visual Studio Team System Code Analyzer - XML Comments
Is there a way to get the Code analyzer to flag warnings/Disallow code to be checked in where its missing XML comments for Methods, Properties etc That would be a fab addition to the software, and if you could stipulate the format of the comments you required somehow and make people stick to it that would be even better. ...Show All
Visual Basic VB Express Edition Tool - How to find?
A few years back, I bought the developer's edition of Sql Server 2000. This software had a tool called "Query Analyzer". You could create all kinds of DML (data manipulation) and DDL (data definition language) statements and test them out. I recently bought VB 2005 Express Edition. I am looking for the tool that would give me the same or similar support without having to modify the application I am developing. For one, I would like to query specific system tables. While I have used and appreciate the "Database Explorer", it seems to be limited in functionality. i.e. there is no sandbox to play in like Query Analy ...Show All

Windows Forms Application.ExecutablePath gives strange info
Hi, I am trying to use the Application.ExecutablePath to find the executable path of my app and it gives me the following C:\\Programme\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\Common7\\IDE\\vctesthost.exe when running the debugger. This is not what I was expecting. I was expecting the bin directory of where my application is built Is this normal Because you are querying this under a unit test, you are actually getting the application that is hosting the unit tests, in this case, VSTestHost.exe. There are some things that are hard to test and these are one of them. I would probably abstract the Application.ExecutablePath into anoth ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System From TFS beta 2 to beta 3
Hi, We played some with the Team Fondation Server beta 2 and we have code, documents, issues, etc. We would be interested in moving those items to beta 3 we it is available. Will it be easy to upgrade to beta 3 while keeping work done with beta 2 Will there be a guide Thanks, Pierre Sorry, but there is no official upgrade path from Beta 2 to Beta 3.

As for stuff in SharePoint, you can try back-up using STSADM.exe and then restoring it to ...Show All

Visual Basic TextBox array
I am upgrading a program that I wrote in VB6 to VB2005 and am having trouble with textboxes. In the VB6 version, I used an array of textboxes to display and order text on screen according to it's priority. This was done in a module. The VB6 program takes a new message, checks it's priority (assigns the texbox color according to priority) and then adds it into the array according to the textbox color and arrival sequence of both itself and the existing array members. In the 2005 version data is processed by a module and passed to the form (because I can't process the text boxes in the module). The form then needs to display the data on ...Show All
