• Windows Forms robust listview in vb.net

• Windows Forms Problems while navigating with a DataGridView

  I'm having trouble with a the behavior on a form I'm creating to edit a simple table in a Dataset. The form has a BindingNavigator at the top to which I've added a few comboboxes so the user can specify filters on a few key columns of the table. Right below the BindingNavigator is a DataGridView that shows several rows of the table (the filter columns as well as a few others). The grid is bound to a BindingSource that is itself bound to the specific table in the Dataset. And the rest of the form (the "details section") contains ALL the fields from the table. Essentially, about 25 textboxes (across a TabControl) where each Tex ...Show All

• .NET Development IIS server accessible through local network but not the internet

  Hi, I'm using the IIS server on my windows Xp Pro at home. I can access the web server fine, and view webpages etc on my local network, when I ues the dns address. But when I try the same thing outside my network, it just says the page cannot be displayed. The thing is the J2EE server I have, could go though port 80 and it was accessible via the dns address outside the local network, and it viewed fine. I of course switched the J2EE server's port to 8080, to stop it from conflicting with the IIS server. On my router, i route the incoming connections from the net ip, to the local computer's ip on the network. Port  80 open for the s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Question about authentication through VPN??

  Hi, We have some long term contract developers that work for us - we provide them a VPN account to get into our network and I was wondering if that will work the the TFS client   the user logs into their computer using either the domain account or local account (not sure which one) then VPN's to our network - question is, with the TFS integration with AD, does that work through only a VPN connection or does the user "really have to be logged into our domain" Also with the proxy server addition, if we place a proxy server at their site, does that have to be part of the domain   I would assume that needs a VPN connection too s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug or Expected Behavior with Unit Testing

  Here's the situation I have (and I don't know if this is because of incorrect usage or or a bug): I have a web service that requires a username and password. The unit test runs a method on the web service to gather data before the test can complete (I know this isn't the best way to do it, but I have no choice here). In order for that to happen I have a security class which must be supplied the username and password. This only has to happen once during the entire testing run. I wanted to make life easier for testing so I created a BaseTestClass and marked it as a test class. Then I had my actual test class inherit from this class. I pl ...Show All
