• Visual Studio Team System Automating Test Execution

  I would like to know the class which could be used to automate test case execution. Currently, we need to manually start the test case execution in the test manager.  But, I have a requirement to execute the test cases in the test project for multiple times with different types of data. This is to verify the functionality - not to measure the performance or load. I found that test cases can be executed in command line with the command “MSTest”. But, I would like to know if there is any class available in the framework which could be used for the same. Following links describes how to use data drive ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Service calls a Service an fails

  Hi. I have a client that calls a service that then calls another service and fails. I get an: Unhandled Exception: System.ServiceModel.UnknownFaultException: There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:4242/Alba/AdminService/ that could accept the message.  This could be caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action, among other things. If i call the second service directly by a client or call it in the Main() part of the first service things work fine. So i’m pretty sure the config is fine. Passing through the call to the second service looks like: public void createNewUser( string name, string pwd){ using ( Admin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Representing external non-WSDL Web Services in the AD ? ADAM Servers as a external DB?

  I'm currently trying to architect a distributed systems diagram. I am using Microsoft's DSfW as well as an ADAM server. However, there appears to be no ability for me to represent these in my application diagram. DSfW generates no WSDL so I cannot add it as an External Web Service. ADSI is not represented as a data provider so I cannot make the ADAM server an external database. Do these exist yet and how can I grab/import them into the App Designer Hello There are many types of external services that don't have specific shapes or endpoints for the application designer. However you can use a GenericApplication shape along with a Gene ...Show All

• Visual Basic Decrypt file in VB6 that was encrypted in vb.net

  I have a customer who is sending me DES encryped data that they produce via vb.net.  No matter what i do, i can not unencrypt it using VB6. They are supplying a KEY and IV which seems to throw most compoents. Are there any aritcles on MS.com regards The only other way I see you being able to tackle this is having the .Net group create a decrypt app for you, however you will still need to have the framework installed...I don't believe you will get around that if you want to be able to decrypt something that was encrypted using .NET In the not to distant future...you will see the Win32 API making way for WINFX..In other words ...You ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problems loading package

  While probing the DSL tools and figuring out how to use them I came accross an issue that I need to get resolved. The issue has to do with loading the package (and is something I most likely caused by using the same combination of CompanyName.ProjectName on all my samples). Problem is that when I try to debug my DSL the debugger prompts me with the message 'Package Load Failure'. Inside the message are some details regarding my packagename (CompanyName.ProjectName.Designer.MyPackage, CompanyName.ProjectName.Designer) and the GUID. The package names with different GUIDS pop up (as stated I used the same combination on multiple sample proje ...Show All
