• Visual Studio Team System Working folder already in use by another workspace on this computer

  I am getting this message on a computer on which there are no other workspaces for that computer. In addition, all of the working folders have been deleted for the workspace that I am working in. We do occasionally log into that box with another user name, but there were no workspaces defined under that login either. (Besides, can't we see all the known workspaces if you log into TFS as admin anyway -- BTW: I don't particularly like that "feature" under the standard workspace editing location for admins because its easy to grab the wrong one.) You may want to try running "tf workspaces /server:[ser ...Show All

• Windows Forms Extending MenuStrip and ToolStripMenuItem

  Greetings! I need to create MyMenuItem inheriting from ToolStripMenuItem, add a private variable to the class and a property with get&set accessors to return the value of the variable. Now I need to create a MyMenu class inheriting from MenuStrip so to make available to add MyMenuItem to MyMenu as menu items in design mode.

How this can be implemented Thanks, truetype If you need to add one propery, use Tag property that each control has, and may hold any item you need, anyway, just override the To ...Show All

• SQL Server Connectivity Issues in AMO

  Hi, I am using AMO to connect to SSAS 2005 and programmatically create objects. currently I am specifying only the ServerName in the connection string.

• SQL Server Shredding recordset object var in ForEach loop (problem)

  I have a package that starts by loading a recordset into an object variable. The recordset is then enumerated with a ForEach loop. The loop sets some string variables. Within the loop container I have a Script task that uses a MsgBox to show the results for testing purposes. The package uses checkpoint restart (if that matters ). The first time I run the package the 1st record is displayed in the MsgBox, then the 2nd, but then the loop is stuck on the 2nd record forever. I break the run, and when I rerun it the 1st record is displayed followed by each subsequent record correctly and the package completes successfully. Now, if I were to r ...Show All

• .NET Development Simple solution

  Hi, my .NET-application uses a .NET-Assembly which seems to create some problems: When I click the X-button of the window of my app, the window hides but the programme doesn't end. I tried to get arount that by using this code: private void MyForm_FormClosed(object sender, FormClosedEventArgs e) { Application.Exit(); Thread.CurrentThread.Abort(); } The Assembly mentioned above works asynchronously and has some events, which are triggered periodically. And this is, why I get a System.InvalidOperationException (Can use Invoke or BeginInvoke only when window handle is created) occurs, when I close the window, when I don' ...Show All

• Windows Forms Databinding a class with DataGridView

  I have a databindingsource object whose target is a DataGridView. _PDList is a list of PresentationData objects that have Properties for each data item. _PresentationDataBindingSource.DataSource = _PDList; When I declare a binding source for my DataGridview the grid column names display the properties from the class. This was expected behavior. But the problem is the names that get generated for referencing the columns in the DataGridView are a concatenation of the property in the class and the type of column it is. For example, One of the properties in my class is called SampleRate. When I bind to the DataGridView the column name i ...Show All
