• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Treeview with contextmenu

  Hi Guys, Does anyone know how to display contextmenu per items in the treeview For example I have contextmenu1 and contextmenu2. I want to display contextmenu1 if the selected item in the treeview is parent and I want to display the contextmenu2 if the selected item is child . I've tried to include it in the styleselector but I'm getting an error and I also tried it in the HierarchicalDataTemplate but it's not working either. Did I overlook something Thanks in advance! Below is the code in the HierarchicalDataTemplate --- < HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key = " Template " ItemsSource = " {Binding ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form Refresh Question

  I've created a simple form (VB.net 2003) to process whole bunch of data from a database. The form asks for some basic information and has a button to start the process. As the program is running, I am updating a label control so that I can see that the program is actually processing records (I'm displaying customer name being worked on). Here is where I'm stuck... While the program is running (ie. not waiting for user input), if I minimize the form and then maximize it again, the form doesn't refresh properly. All I get is a blank form (just the form border). If I click anywhere on the form, a 'program not responding' message is ...Show All

In SQL Server is: SELECT @@IDENTITY In MS Access Thanks There is one thing you have to take care of here.

• SQL Server Max value

  Hi, I have a question on how to write this code in a better way (the @result should get the highest value of the @variable1 and @variable2). DECLARE @result int DECLARE @variable1 int DECLARE @variable2 int SET @variable1 = 5 SET @variable2 = 3 IF (@variable1 > @variable2) BEGIN SET @result = @variable1 END ELSE BEGIN SET @result = @variable2 END I had planned on using the max function but that only takes one argument (the variables get their values from different select statements). If somebody knows hows how I could optimize this code, please tell me. Thank you in advance BR Mikael ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Testing - When used in Load Test, nothing written to System

  Hi, Pretty beginner question, but unfortunitely I've run out of web-ex's to help me out. I am currently load testing a web site and have written a web test which retrieves data from the data source (10 rows) and inserts these rows into the web site. When run through Test Manager, this works and inserts records into the System. I have now included this test in a load test for 8 users, but I'm not quite sure how this is meant to add data to the site as nothing is actually written to the system. In addition I am having difficulty understanding how many requestes are made (as I can't see how many records are added to the system). Thu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving from one TFS to another

  I've been running TFS and VSTS for one very large project, and it's been great, except for the fact that our server was a free workstation that really wasn't up to the task.  So, we got a new server.  Now, I need to move the project from the old server to the new server.  It seems like there is no tool, which I'm OK with - if I need to do a lot of manual steps, that is fine.  I was just hoping someone had done this, and could offer any help.  Right now, it seems like the easiest solution is just have one person check out everything , and then add these projects to the new server - but we'll lose our history, and I re ...Show All

• Visual C# Closing Dialog Box without ending exe

  At the moment I am trying to use a dialog box to put progress messages on the screen as a long process takes place beneath. The box has a close icon (that X at the top right of the title bar)  If the user clicks on the close icon this then closes the exe, but I would like to be able to keep the exe going and do some recovery routine to re-establish a known condition on the running exe. Any ideas would be very welcome. Thanks In your "Program.cs" file, your Main() function should look something like this: static void Main() {     Application.Enable ...Show All

• Visual C++ Running a program?

  I have built a program on calculating the area of a rectangle as the user inputs the length and width. It works fine, however, my question is. If I want to send it to someone, what files from the whole folder do I need to send (.zip ). Also, how will they be able to run it, without a compiler. I can easily run it from: C:\Documents and Settings\Peter\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\optut\debug however, as I've seen other programs, they usually have just a simple .exe file.   If it helps, here is the code:   using namespace std; int main() { int length; // this declares a variable ...Show All
