• Visual Studio Team System Recording Web Tests with a redirect

  I am working with the test tools in Whidbey and I have come to a point that I am stumped.  Our web app main page gets loaded in a new window that closes the previous window.  When you start recording a test and load the URL of the web site, the login screen closes the window you were recording in and waits for input.  Unfortunately, the recording is stopped when the window closes and you can't go any further.  Is there some way to start recording in an existing IE window instead of the new IE window that typically opens up Try the following. 1) Create a new web test 2) When IE appears na ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Express permanently free

  hi, thx dan for this good news and thx microsoft, you don't know how much i'm happy to hear that best regards Microsoft Rocks. Its been taking great initiatives lately and this one by far will proove to be most useful. Atleast the guilt of a student of using a pirated software will not be there anymore :) Other stuff that microsoft is organizing like the latest "made in express" contest are really fun. IMHO Microsoft is really putting it together to recapture its reputation in the masses. So far, thumbs up to MS. :) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Beta 3 Access from NT Domain

  I cannot add users from a trusted NT domain to the TFS groups, and so cannot connect to TFS from a client machine logged in under an NT domain account (except by entering the TFS setup account id and password). Is this by design If I missed this issue in the documentation or an earlier thread, please point me to it. Here is our environment: TFS was setup in single-server mode on an AD machine. The account used to set it up is an AD account. The services account is also an AD account. If we're not able to access TFS using the NT domain accounts when TFS is in an AD environment, what is the best configuration to use so we can evaluate TFS -- i ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 unable to start debugging because MSVSMON.EXE failed to start.

  Sometimes I am getting an error when I try to start debugging using VS 2005. A message box comes up saying: "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) failed to start. Verify that the remote debugger is properly installed." If I retry starting a debug session, it usally starts up. Why is this happening And since, I assume, Visual Studio 2005 installed the remote debugger, how in the heck am I supposed to verify that the remote debugger is properly installed Am I supposed to know what registry settings, services, or other software need to be present Just what am I supposed to "verify" ...Show All

  If you have columns which extend beyond the DataGridView window, the horizontal scrollbar is never displayed. The vertical scrollbar displays, but the horizontal bar never displays.

• Visual C++ How to create a control with a gradient background

  I would have figured that this sort of capability would be part of the standard VS 2005 controls, especially considering the extent to which MS uses gradients in their own apps for button backgrounds and such...it is not too much to ask, is it anyway... Since the standard controls in VS 2005 do not seem to support gradient backgrounds I have made a custom GradientButton class derived from the Button class. I'd like it to have a gradient background. How do I do this without redrawing the entire control I referenced a C# example on how to do this and the code showed an overridden OnPaint method that used the event argument's graphics object ...Show All
