• Visual Studio Team System How could I add a Setup or a TearDown procedure in the xxx.webtest?

  How can I add a Setup or a Teardown procedure in the xxx.webtest, not in the xxxCoded.cs I want to prepare some test data for xxx.webtest before it is run and cleanup this test data after the test is done. But I don't want to do it in the xxxCoded.cs because it will be overwritten once the xxx.webtest is modified. This is correct.  The namespace changed after beta2.  If you are still using beta2, I suggest upgrading.  We have made many fixes since beta2. ...Show All

• Windows Forms VB.NET vs AS/400

  Many of my programs make repeated calls to our “elderly” AS/400 to get data based on account numbers, then process that data and write back to the AS/400 before moving on to the next account number.  Using the .NET ODBC classes has worked fine, but we’ve noticed that it runs frustratingly slow.

  Hi, I have installed sql server 2005 as default instance and sqlexpress in a machine named "mani" EnumAvailableSqlServers  does not list the default instance.

• Visual C# How to format a single TextBox

  HI, Coming from a ‘ Oracle Developer ’ background and just entering C# developments I am kind of disappointed with C#. I mean you have to write tons of code to do anything. Also the number of web sites you have to go to and also the amount of on-line help you have to read in order to learn even a simple operation really frustrating. All I want to do is this.  I have a database table called EMPLOYEES and I have created a form for it .   The form works fine.     All I want to do is format the SALARY column to this format: 999,999,990.00 (I.E. if salary is 49749.55 then it should display 49,749.55).   ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS in VS not working - no options under Plugin...

  Hiya, Ok, I will try to be brief. I am having a problem with getting Source Safe 2005 to work within Visual Studio 2005 on my office Box. Not only is there no Source control file menu item, but the Tools|Options|Source Control|Plugins dropdown list is EMPTY. When I first installed VSS and VS, I got the option for Microsoft Visual Sourcesafe, but not Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (Internet), which is how we are set up to run. The same version of VSS works from my laptop and my home PC... no problems from either. The only difference about this box is a RAID-1 as a primary boot drive, but that shouldnt have any impact on this at all. ...Show All

• Windows Forms parent form event which should trigger a routine in each child form without changing the focus

  I have an MDI app (VB.NET) that allows the user to create as many children as they want.  Each child is basically a panel that draws graphs depending on the properties the user chooses.  In addition, a TCPIP connection (in the parent form) is made and when a certain string comes across, it's supposed to draw a new symbol on each child.&n ...Show All

• Visual C# Multiple Threads and Synchronizing Output to a Log File

  Hello everyone... I'm working with a multi-threaded application.  I believe I have it to the point now where several different threads can write to one common log file.  Writing to the log would be used at initial startup and for an occasional exception, and is not something that would not happen very often. What I'd like some advise on is making sure the act of writing to the log is thread safe, in that when a thread writes to the one log file: 1.  A single writeline statement completes correctly and definately gets written to the physical log file ASAP and 2.  If I have multiple writeline statemen ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SSL Support

  I am currently implementing a service utilizing BasicHttp binding using XmlSerializer serialization....effectively giving me a bare bones service consumable by a smart devices app. What's the easiest, most straight-forward way to utilize SSL over the Http I don't want any username or password tokens, etc. All I want is SSL encryption over the connection when the smart device client connects. Given the above, I believe I need to use Transport security mode which requires a certificate.
