• Visual Studio Team System Dispose and exceptions

  Hi, another question regarding the disposal of locals. The following code shows 3 simple blocks. The first two behave as expected (block 1 is clean, block 2 gets flagged by FxCop), but block 3 is problematic. Although I do not dispose the allocated object, FxCop does not complain. This seems somehow related to the surrounding try catch clause. // Clean code. { IAfwObject myobject = new AfwObject_PPA(Id, null); myobject.Equals(this); myob ...Show All

• .NET Development Installing .. advpack.dll

• Visual Studio Team System How to replace Unit Test Template code

  I have created a new MyUnitTest.cs file that want Visual Studio to insert when I run the Create Unit Test (or Add New Test -> Unit Test) Wizard. In other words, I want to replace the code which is automatically inserted by the Unit Test Wizard. Since I do not want to create a whole new test type or need to impliment the IWizard interface, I thought I would be dealing with just a file-replacement exersize. Based on reading a few articles i ...Show All

• SQL Server Is this a bug??

  i use AMO to connect MSAS2005. Seems everything is fine except i do like this: I try to restart the Analysis Service, and then connect to the server. This will cause windows prompt msmdsrv.exe error or debug info sometimes. This comes with the Connect() methed, but the codes will continue running - that means the code doesn't throw exceptions and executed as usual. I tried to sleep the thread for a while(Like in code make 10 seconds sleeping) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with Tests after renaming project

  Hi, We ended up having to rename both the project under test as well as the associated unit test project. The unit test project used to create a binary called TestContext_UT.DLL. It now creates a binary called UnitTestTest.dll. When you attempt to run a unit test, however, the test continues to look for TestContext_UT.DLL as the storage for the test. Where to you change that information One more question, why can't I delete a test from the tes ...Show All

• SQL Server using distinct on one column only

  I have a table that contains 5 or 6 columns. (plantid, commonName, scientificName, planttype, etc) what I am wanting to do is create a table of all the plants with distinct scientificNames. but I am wanting to display the commonName, scientificName, and planttype. I figured using the distinct operator would work, but is seems as if it looks at the combination of all 3 rows instead of being distinct on only one row. Basically I am wanting to b ...Show All

  Hi all, I would like to change the color of a form in VB 6.0. Is there any WIN32 API function or any other Visual Basic function which gets the form handle and changes the color of the form.
