Visual Studio MFP Package.Project source
What is the correct way of adding the Package.Project source to our Package solution All of the examples I have seen are using an import statement on ProjectBase.Files. The question I have is determining the path. The IronPython example is using relative path from the project to ..\..\..\Common\Source\CSharp\Project, but the Project sample under Archive\CS_Samples\Project\Project is using this relative path in addition to an env variable $(_NTDRIVE). What should we be using to determine the path from where our project is located Mike Archive code should not be used to judge anything. Its archive. Sam ...Show All

Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions
I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relationships are drawn. Instructions are to click on this and do that. One creates table adapters and and dataadapers and with these apparoaches everything seems quite removed from what really happening. Al ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Delete Work Item Type from project?
I was playing around with custom work item types in some projects. Now I want to delete some of the types I created. How can I delete Work Item Types from a pre-existing project without having to create a brand new project (I apologize for all the questions at once, been saving them up for a while). Yep, you are both right. We didn't follow through on deleting (permanently) as well as we could have any where - team projects, files, work items, etc. We are looking at what we can do to improve that.

Visual Studio Team System TF42046: The build service used in the build process is not reachable - stack trace.
Hi all, Am using the beta 3. I have been struggling with this issue for the past 24 hours. From what I read there can be multiple reasons for this error message. I have experimented and verified the settings mentioned in this link: http://geekswithblogs.net/mskoolaid/archive/2005/12/15/63276.aspx suggestions on resolving or debugging further can help. A couple of other things I am noting: 1. As I see from task manager, the TFSBuildService.exe starts to run, that at least rules out problems with port configuration error. 2. I have enabled tracing in TFSBuildService.exe.config. But I don't see the buildmachine.log getting cre ...Show All

Windows Forms MouseDown in Client Area of MDI never fires?
Very strange; it never fires. Oddly (to me), if I assign a ContextMenu to the MDI form, it comes up fine with a right-click in the form, but it also comes up with a right-click on a MDI child form, unless the child has its own context menu. The problem I have is I create a context menu when the user clicks in a certain area of the MDI form; when that happens, the static MDI ContextMenu is also displayed. If I can detect the MouseDown (or Up) on the MDI form (esp. client area), then I can create all context menus on the fly. ---Mike AH MDI Parent. That's different. This is because the gr ...Show All
