• Visual Studio Team System Team Suite not working -- Beta 2

  I have the foxed VS 2005 Beta 2 with 3 DVDs.  I installed 2 DVDs: VS2005 Team Suite, and SQL Server 2004 CTP.  (The third, Team Foundation Server, required a W2K3 server that I do not have.)   The Team Suite functionality, such as the Logical Designer, does not seem to be present.  I even tried a fixup installation.  This may be ignorance on my part.  What does it take to access or activate the Logical Designer   I don't believe that Team Foundation Server is required.  Or is it I want to use the plain vanilla Visual Source Safe for source control, rather than Change Management from TFS.  Ye ...Show All

• Visual C# how to check the node's text, level and depth in a treeview control?

  For example, if I have a parent node Root and then child node Child created at design-time, I know how to add child nodes to Child at run-time but my problem is adding grandchild nodes to Child. Root Child ChildOfChild1 // created at run-time ChildOfChild2 // created at run-time How can I add child nodes to ChildOfChild1 or to ChildOfChild2 at run-time the children of Child are sorted randomly so their indices change. The child nodes that you add in run-time are also added to there Parent TreeNode. You can allways iterate over the nodes and add new TreeNodes wherever you want. Here is a little example that adds ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System No Object Test Bench?

  I am using the VS2005 beta2 and can use the test tools fine. However i cant seem to get access to the object test bench.  Should it be there I had a similar issue when I was building some class libraries for my website.  I figured out that I had to break out those assemblies into seperate projects, add those projects to the website, and then I was able to invoke instances of those classes.  I guess if the project if a "Web site" vs. "Class Assembly" then, you are unable to build a class, even if you are coding .cs files. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Pondering

  This has been something I have been pondering for a while. Given that its hard to move data in and out of the workflow from the host.  I am thinking about using the workflow just to trigger steps in the workflow and then using my ORM objects within the workflow activites and outside of the workflow in my application. Mardo, What is the hardest part about exchanging data between the workflow in the host   Are you saying that you would like to directly interact with your orm objects inside or outside the workflow in order to avoid host communication altogether Thanks Arjun ...Show All

• SQL Server Transactional Replication with Updateable Subscribers

  Hi, I really hope someone can help me with this one- it is most peculiar. I have a SQL Server 2005 publication and associated subscription. Both are sitting on the same server and the agents are impersonating the SQL Server Agent account. The SQL Server Agent account is in the Publication Access List, db_owner of the databases and in sysadmin. The publication is set for immediate updating with queued failover. Identity constraints are manually set on the subscriber, stored procedures are being replicated as @type = N'serializable proc exec'. Now for the odd stuff. I can open a published table using System manager and the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Capturing the double-click event from the "Test Results" window in VS 2005

  Hi all, I am trying to write a small add-in that will change the default behaviour of double clicking on an item in the "Test Results" window. Currently it will open the "Test Details" page but I want it to jump to the code instead. The name of the command that opens the "Test Details" page is "OtherContextMenus.TestResultsContextMenu.ViewTestResultsDetails" but it only gets called when using the context menu on an item not when double clicking on it. I used the CSEvents sample by MS to have a look at all the events that are fired when an item in the "Test Results" window is double clicked and I have included these at th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dual Display Suggestion

  Hi, I use dual monitors for work every day, and the most annoying thing you can imagine is when I am several programs open and it seems like every time I open another window, it opens one the opposite screen that I want it to.  Perhaps microsoft could come up with a way to right click a shortcut and press "open on screen 1, 2, etc." or maybe when you double click a program and move the curser to the screen you want it will automatically open on that screen. I know this isn't really a suggestion forum, but I am hoping microsoft reads some of these and takes them in to account for developing new software. Thanks. ...Show All
