• Visual C# Nullable Value and Generic

  I want to mark a generic class to support nullable value.  The following is my class public class DataField<T> where T:System.Nullable<T> {     public T Value; }   But it can't.  Why Please help me.... 1. string  is not actually valid. Nullable<T> has a struct constraint so only value types can be used with Nullable<T>. As far as I'm aware there is no way to use constraints to say: Only allow reference types and nullable types. The only way I can see to do this is to remove the constraints and run some sort of type check within the static constructor of the gener ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Move Team Project(s) from one TFS installation to another

  We currently have two different TFS systems (call them A and B), and I would like to move the Team Projects from A into system B, while maintaining all of the Team Projects in B. I could accept having to (re)upload Work Item Types, Work Item Queries, documents, reports, etc. But what I would need for the system or some tool to do is migrate all of the work items (including links and attachments) and source code. That way I can keep all the work item and source code history, along with work item links and attachments. It would also be nice if the security and group settings were transferred, as well. I suppose I could muck with the SQL data ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding DataGrid columns to members of a collection.

  I am binding a windows form datagrid to a collection of objects.  This works fine and I can see the public properties of the objects. One of these public properties of each object is a custom collection inherited from DictionaryBase.  How can I bind my datagrid to members of the dictionary Thank you! That is the closest thing you can do. The problem is that your business object is a "one" and your collection is a "many" type relationship, so implementing your own DataView is the best way to go. -mark Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is" ...Show All

• Windows Forms Simple Bound Controls not working on Master Detail relationship

  I have a Parent, Child, Grandchild dataset set up. The Parent and the child are displayed using DataGridViews. The Grandchild is dicplayed using textboxes. I have added data bindingnavigators at each level as well. My problem is that when I add a record to the grandshild and update the textbox the record is not kept. If I add 2 records only the first record is kept. It seems as if my last record of the grandchild is never "saved." I changed the grandchild to use a datagridview and it worked fine. However I need to use textboxes. Thanks Try calling EndEdit on the grandchild BindingSource.   & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing for Exceptions in Unit Tests

  I can't figure out how to test for an exception in a unit test.  Is there an Assert. comand or something else to test for an expected exception Thanks! Cindy Hello, I just saw this as well. Dhopton, you are correct in stating that you shouldn't throw a generic exception. But I think a lot of folks think that if you give throw with a new message string in the exception, that will make the exception different enough. So, did this feature get into the final release It doesn't look like it. I am useing the VS demo build, 50727.42 and I am seeing the same error message from the unit test, " has ...Show All
