• .NET Development Password Recovery Wizard Costing me HOURS

  I dragged-n-dropped the password recovery wizard into my app. I'm having problems with it. Here's the situation: 1. I Put in a valid user, and it goes to the next page/screen. 2. I put in an INVALID Password Answer. I receive the "Your answer could not be verified. Please try again" message. The FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptCount column is incremented in the aspnet_membership table. I will eventually be locked out of the application 3. I put in the CORRECT Password Answer I still receive the "Your answer could not be verified. Please try again" message. The FailedPasswordAnswerAttemptCount ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2005 manual

  G'day I have been struggling with VB2005 express for the past weeks or so. I have made lots of progress by just referring to "VB2005 for dummies" and some VB6 books. Is there somewhere where I can dowload the full Syntax manual and hopefully lots of code snippets on how to do things I have ordered VS 2005 standard edition but the delivery has been postponed for a week in Australia. Going to the launch on Monday, perhaps I can annoy someone there and try to get some info.   Charliem wrote: Here a couple of links that I find helpful Visual basic 2005 Language Specification  Thank you very much ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to Run Tests from MSBuild

  Hi every one, I am Running the Tests from MSBuild, and they are running fine. All the tests are executed either Pass / Fail. I am using the exec command provided by MSBuild to run the MSTest.exe command. There is one problem, after the tests are executed the error comes up C:\master.proj(34,3): error MSB3073: The command "MSTest/TestCotainer:Testing1099.dll" exited with code 1. I dont know what happens after the exec command, there is nothing after that. May be a logical error, if someone can help me it would be appreciated. Thanks Sameer If you copy and pasted your mstest.exe command than it looks like you didn't put space be ...Show All

• Windows Forms Passing Variables Between Forms

  This is probably a silly question to ask here, but I need to be able to pass variables between forms. What I mean is, for example, you open a form that asks for a URL and after you hit the OK button, the function that called it can use the URL. I can use a global variable to accomplish this, but I'm sure there must be a way to do it more elegantly. I know how to do this sort of thing in MFC, but I'm fairly new to .NET programming in VC++ 2005. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Johan Cyprich Create a public property called URL. On OK save the entered URL to the property. Set your OK button to DialogResults.OK. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Run configuration problems

  There is an element inside the runconfig file called relativePathRoot . This value holds the path to the solution root, so that other paths inside this file can be relative. When executing tests from within the IDE this value is getting reset properly for the machine the solution is opened on. On my automated build server I am building the solutions and executing the tests from the command line, and apparently when you execute tests using MSTest.exe from the command line this value is NOT getting reset to the path to the solution on my server. Is there a way to get MSTest (from the command line) to reset this value properly Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Efficient Threading

  Guys, Creating an app that's essentially a Telnet server. At the moment, I've got two threads: 1) Listens for connections and accepts them 2) Checks to see if any clients have sent data that is waiting to be read. Is that enough for a basic Telnet server, considering that I may have up to 2000 connections online at once Or should I have a thread for each client Cheers, everybody! Will WIll everyone here is not a guy. There is an advanced technique called connection pooling You don't keep 2000 connections you create just enough connections to handle what is actually transpiring at the moment. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Logical DataCenter - Newbie

  Today is my first look at this and I've added zones and servers but I'm having some troubles importing the settings from those servers. For example: I highlight the server, go to Settings and Constraints box, right click "Logical Server Settings" then "Import Settings". It looks like it works but some of the settings it pulled are NOT what is set in IIS. One example is the sp script timeout is set to 300 on the default website of this box, but it tells me it's at 90. Any ideas Thanks Basin, Thank you for the post. Product team has reviewed it, and it looks like this is a bug. T ...Show All

Best regards, Kris Are you sure the Oracle Command doesn't have this property I don't have it available right here, but CommandTimout is a member of the IDbCommand interface. If the Oracle Command implemetns this interface -which is very likely imho-, it should have this property as well. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Random thoughts...

  Made in notepad as I was playing with the product... In data generation plan, there is no way to "Select All" or "Unselect All". Even support of CTRL-A would be nice. Can't copy and paste values out of the Data Generation Preview. Changing "Rows to insert" doesn't seem to have any effect on what is in the Data Generation Preview window. Maybe I just didn't play with it enough. Can we have an option just to generate Insert scripts rather than doing the inserts behind the scenes for us Error highlighting - I have lots of errors in my Error List relating to my schema objects.
