• Smart Device Development Back Key Problem

  I am writing a Smartphone App.  I have things running pretty smoothly but I have hit a brick wall with an error I can not trap. Basically I call the data input form like this: Private Sub MenuItem1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click 'New Record    Dim f As New frmRecord    f.ShowDialog() End Sub THe problem is that if the user presses the BACK key in the new form, I get an "Argument Exception" error the occurs on the end sub line after the form closes.

• Visual C# Saving A MDI Child Form From Its MDI Parent's Toolstrip

  I have searched the web and I cannot seem to find out how to call a public save function in an mdi child from its mdi parent’s toolstrip. I’m basically after the same functionality as you get in something like Word. You can have several documents open, but when you click on save from the toolstrip it only saves the active document. How do I get this to work   Either: a) create a save event on your MDI parent and add a handler to it when the child window is opened. The toolstrip button triggers the save event. b) when the child window is opened, add a click handler directly to the toolstrip ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Process Templates - Check-In Policy / Build Types

  The documentation for creating custom process templates doesn't mention how I would set the default check-in policy (I wish to force code-analysis and customize which rules are turned on/off), or how I would include one or more build types by default. Is there a way to do this within a process template No checkin policies are not part of the process template.  They are configured separately.  Perhaps in the future, we will add them.  After you create a project, using a process template, you can modify the project properties to set the checkin policies.

• .NET Development TcpChannel: uniquely identifying clients

  I would like to be able to obtain the IP address of my TcpChannel clients, or better yet, some other unique identifier which I could use to distinguish my clients and track them. Is this possible Regards, Robert There may be a built-in way to do this, but here's one approach: Could you implement IServerChannelSink, and add your transport header on the client side (and pass the client IP address), then extract it in the same method on the server side Aha, someone else is on the same track.

• Visual Studio Team System Web Test recording unreliable - help!

  I've just installed the release version of VisualStudio Team Suite 2005, to use the web testing tools. (I had previously used beta 2 on a different PC). I go through the standard process of recording a web test. However not all the posts are recorded. In more detail:  - Start recording - OK  - Type in the URL of our logon page (we use our own authentication) - OK  - Enter the logon credentials and press Logon - OK  - We do a Response.Redirect to our 'main page'. Our URL remains fixed after this, including the query string.  ... The web test recording does not spot this, so type in the URL manually - OK  - S ...Show All
