• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage for Manual Testing

  Hi, I am using VS 2005 Beta 2, and am wondering if it's possible to measure code coverage while executing manual tests within the VS test framework.   I am able to measure code coverage for unit tests with no problem, and I can include a manual test in my test run configuration, but I see no way to measure coverage while it is being executed.  Am I missing something   Being able to do this would be very helpful. Thanks! Andrea I upgraded to RTM today, and now manual testing code coverage works like a charm.  I experimented with the workaround you mentioned in Beta 2 and didn't h ...Show All

• Visual J# COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used exception within threads

  Hi, We are having code in which we start a new thread and set it as STA. This new thread initializes IHTMLWindow2 object and then starts another thread. But, in that second thread if we try to access the IHTMLWindow2 which is initialized in the first thread we are getting this exception "COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used". If we do not set the first thread to STA, we coudn't access the windows in that thread itself, so it needs to be in STA. So how can we access the window initialized in the first thread Please give any suggestions. I am giving the code here. Class1.java: import ...Show All

The empty project is for the 1.1 versions of the sample framework, and the emptyproject ...Show All

• SQL Server CREATE ASSEMBLY using assembly binary?!?!

  I was trying to understand how VS.NET2005 was deploying .NET CLR assemblies to SQL2005 so I ran a trace and found some interesting results. VS.NET creates some SQL that looks pretty interesting: CREATE ASSEMBLY [AssemblyNameHere] FROM 0x4D5A90000300000004000000FFFF000......<continue binary data> WITH PERMISSION_SET = EXTERNAL_ACCESS Boy howdy! I have tried to reproduce this and create my own deployment application but I cant figure out how they create this binary stream. The info in BOL is not much help and I have not found any samples anywhere on how to create this stream in c#. Anyone out there been able to get this ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Running MDX games on other computers

  I've been working on and MDX game for a couple of months in Visual Studio 2005 express; now I'm trying to run it on other computers and it doesn't work. Of the 4 computers I've tried it on, only 1 successfully ran it. The others get a file not found exception that seems to be for a DLL, but when I put a try/catch around the application initialization (this is based on the sample framework) and found the exception, it conveniently failed to include the actual file name. What do I have to do to run this on a system that doesn't have visual studio This is a common question that gets asked, the main prob ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing Fail-safe operator in SQL Server Management Studio

  I have designated an operator as the fail-safe operator in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). I now wish to change the fail-safe operator to be a different operator. SSMS allows me to make the changes, but after selecting "OK" and re-opening the SQL Server Agent Properties in SSMS, the changes have not been made. Any idea how to change the fail-safe operator As far as I can tell, there are no stored procedures available, and as I understand it SSMS is already using SMO. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks John Thanks for taking time to report this. I have opened a bug on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reportviewer print dialog problem

  My .NET version 2 application creates reports by calling a method from a dll (which I also wrote) which displays a form containing a user control which in turn contains a ReportViewer. I set the viewer's .ReportPath, .BindingSource, and .DataSource properties and call the .RefreshReport method. The viewer displays the report correctly. When I click the viewer's Print button, the Print dialog correctly appears, but I have to click the dialog's Print button twice to actually send the report to the printer.
