• Visual Studio Team System Exclude File Types from Source Control

  In the "Add to Source Control" dialog, there is an exclude text box which lists "*.pdb;*.obj;*.dll;*.exe;*.res;*.resources" by default. Is there a way to add to this default list on a project level My goal is to make it less likely that a developer would accidentally add certain binary file types to version control. Not as far as I am aware. Most project level settings for source control are stored as annotations against the team project folder. I have not seen the exclude files types there, but it appears to be stored as a user setting in the registry:- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\TeamFou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web tests resulting in Internal Server error due to Invalid ViewState

  I am seeing an odd problem when testing our web site.  I have no problems navigating through our website manually from a web browser and experience no problems when creating a web test that navigates through our web site. But, when I run the web test I created, then I keep getting an "Internal Server Error" on the first server page transfer.  When I look at our server logs it indicates that the problem is caused by an invalid ViewState. But, this problem only occurs when playing back (running) one of my web tests.  The ViewState appears to be formatted correctly (it can be parsed) but the error message gives no further indic ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Generic Test does not seem to deploy the exe

  I seem to be missing something simple here, I guess. The help states that the exe being run by the generic test will be copied to the deployment directory. This is not happening. Even if I add it to the "additional files" list, in effect forcing it to be copied, it is not run from this directory. This matters a great deal to me because I am trying to use a Generic Test to run my GUI to produce Code Coverage results. So I need the test to run the instrumented exe for this to work. Even this simple example shows that this is not working as the help describes: 1) Create a new blank solution. 2) Add a Test Project. 3) Add a Generic Tes ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding Controls to Windows Forms using DTE

  Hi All, I managed to create new Windows Appliation Projects in the runtime using the Application Object Model and to add forms to it. But I couldn't figure out how add controls (textboxes, labels,...) to it in the runtime. Can anybody give me a clue Regards, Imesh Hi Imesh, I would suggest you check out the "Windows Forms Automation" sample from the VS2005 Automation Samples . In short, you need to get an instance of the designer's IDesignerHost interface and use that. For example, you can add a button to the active form with the following code: If TypeOf DTE.ActiveDocument.ActiveWin ...Show All

• Visual C# A few simple questions...

  I could use some help determing the output of the following code: int intY; int intX; int intMysterValue; intX = 1; intMysteryValue; do { intY = ( int ) Math.Pow( intX, 2 ); lstDisplay.Items.Add( intY ); intMysteryValue ++; intX++; } while (int X <= 10 ); lblResult.Text = Convert.ToString( intMysterValue ); I have trouble understanding the Math.Pow method...Any help Also, I can't figure out what is wrong with the following code: int intY = 10; int intZ = 2; do { intZ = intY + 10; } while ( !( intY < 10 ) ); intY--; lblResult.Text = Converst.ToSt ...Show All

• SQL Server Saving ODBC password

  I have an app that uses ODBC for connection. Everytime the users log in it prompts the user to enter a password. Is there any way (reg key entery ) for the password to be saved so the user is not prompted Thanks MPM No, I'm sorry you can't do that. This is a security issue, since someone may gain access to your registry information, and thereby uncover your password. Even if you modified your registry information to store the password ODBC would not read that information. I can't think of a work-around, unless you had a VB script or something that automatically logged on to a database ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF30063: You are not authorized to access <server>

  We have two domains - a "foo" domain where our user accounts and most of our development systems reside and a "bar" domain where one machine (call it TFSServer) containing our Team Foundation Server runs. I log into my system on the "foo" domain as gbereny.  I have administrator permissions. When I try to run the "witexport" or "witimport" commands from a DOS window, I get "TF30063: You are not authorized to access TFSServer".  Again, note that TFSServer is on a different domain. If I log into my system on the "foo" domain as "Administrator", the "witexport" and "witimport" commands succeed. There are other people on other systems ...Show All
