• Visual Studio Express Editions VB Express code documentation generation?

  After adding inline code documentation using the vbcommenter style tags, how do I generate the xml documentation files   I can't find the switch anywhere in the options.  Is there a tool that allows me to create these documentation files for future use in ndoc.

• Visual Studio Team System ASP.NET Unit Tests do not handle Redirections in Beta2

  Hi, Is there any workaround in order to use redirection in unit-tests I always get the message " The web site for page '<web site>' is not properly configured for testing. Check that Visual Studio Team Test tools are installed on the web server. " when running the test. In the known issues ( http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/get/currentreadme/VSKnownIssues.rtf ) it is described that ASP.NET Unit Tests do not handle Redirections in Beta2. Thanks. Unfortunately we won't be supporting redirections in beta 2 or the final release. The only workaround is to specify the site that would be redirected to as the UrlToTest (so ...Show All

• Visual Basic Access The Result Of A Function Called In A Splash Screen

  Hi, My application currently has three classes - MainForm.vb, SplashScreen.vb and a user-created class Server.vb. In the latter class, I have a function which pings a server (at the moment I'm just using the Google IP as I will get a "True" result). When my splash screen is shown, the function is called so the user is informed if the server can be reached. What I want to do is access the result of this function in my MainForm load event (at the moment I'm just using a Button click event) without having to call the function again. I've tried putting a public variable in my MainForm.vb class which the splash screen changes according ...Show All

• Visual Studio Final Year Project

  My Final Year Project for my degree is to create a Visual Studio Add-in that improves the intellisense. However, I'm having a few problems. When I compile and run the code generated by the add-in wizard, the thing loads into the IDE perfectly, however, when I add code to deal with key presses, it fails to work. Here are some code samples: public void OnConnection(object application, ext_ConnectMode connectMode, object addInInst, ref Array custom) { EnvDTE.Events events = _applicationObject.Events; _applicationObject = (DTE2)application; _addInInstance = (AddIn)addInInst; _textDocumentKeyPressEvents = ((EnvDTE80.Eve ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Building mixed mode apps

  Does anyone know if it's impossible to build mixed mode apps using the Express editions of 2005   I get the impression that one can only build either an all C# app or an all C++ app but not an app that uses both C# and (managed or unmanaged) C++. Anyone know if that's true or not Thanks. This is correct.  The Express Editions are "single-language" except for Visual Web Developer.  To do mixed-language developement, you will need to use Visual Studio Standard edition of higher.  Thanks, Luke Hoban Visual C# IDE Program Manager ...Show All

• Windows Forms TextFormatFlags.TabStop??

  Hi Guys, What is the difference between TextFormatFlags.ExpandTabs and TextFormatFlags.TabStop Or, rather, how do you set tab stops, or use TextFormatFlags and TextRenderer to provide the same tab stop behavior as StringFormat Thanks, Michael Weinhardt TextRenderer.DrawText is a thin wrapper around GDI DrawText API.  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/gdi/fontext_0odw.asp They should correspond to DT_TABSTOP and DT_EXPANDTABS...  It looks like you would possibly have to bitwise OR in the value for the tabstop to change it to be something other than 8. ...Show All

• Visual C# .NET Application

  Hello Community, I am relatively new to ASP.NET and webs services, although I have experience with C#. I need to develop an application that monitors performance in our servers -- like processor, memory and some other custom counters. Ideally the application should be able to remotely retrieve performance information within certain period of time of a specific server. I am not sure if this is the best approach but I am considering having web services running on each server, recording performance information to a database every certain (customizable) period of time and providing methods to publish the information to a web applicati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSSConverter Failures/Flaws

  I am having no luck using VSSConvert to migrate a large VSS database into VSTF.  I could not convert the database in beta 2 and I still cannot convert it in beta 3.  I'm trying to convert a single root project and VSSConverter runs for a few hours then crashes with a Send Error type exception.  Neither VSS Analyze nor VSSConverter analyze reports any errors on the database.  VSS analyze does report several warnings associated with loss of Share/Branch, files still checked out in VSS, and a single "TF60067: Data loss due to folder move warning".  I don't really care about the checked out files right now.&nbs ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating Typed Dataset in Web Service using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition

  I am trying to create a typed dataset which I can use as a data source in VB 2005 Express. I hope to use VWD 2005 Express, but if there is a better program to use that is free, I'm all ears...

• Software Development for Windows Vista TransactionScope FaultHandler problem

  I have a sequential workflow with a TransactionScopeActivity within which I throw a System.Exception under certain circumstances. I also have a corresponding FaultHandlerActivity to handle the System.Exception. This works fine when I host the WorkflowRuntime in a Windows EXE. However when I host the WorkflowRuntime in a WindowsService the FaultHandler does not get activated, instead the trace just shows that an exception has been thrown and the workflow aborts. (The trace is shown at the end of the post). If however I throw the exception outside of the TransactionScopeActivity then the FaultHandlerActivity handles the exception OK. The ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS VPC password not working

  Hi, I have installed the VPC for TFS Beta 3 and the password : pass@word1 and other variants P ***@word1 etc do not work. Can someone supply the definitive password please Thanks, Benjy This is probably a dumb response, but being in the UK I've been caught out with this several times... The VPC has a US keyboard layout so @ might be bound to a different key on your keyboard. I tend to type the password once in the username field so that I can check that I am sending the appropriate characters to the VPC... ...Show All
