• Visual Studio Team System Struggling with basic questions

  Hi, We have just installed the trial version of VS2005 for testers, in order to understand whether it can be used by our testing team. Unfortunately, even supported by one developer, we are still struggling to understand how many things we will ba able to do without passing to put the hands in the code. I don't feel very comfortable with the Load test editor, because I don't manage to solve basic problems such as: 1) Remove the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Export string in textbox to a csv file

  Dear all, I'm relatively new to C# so apologies if this seems like a dumb question. I need to export a string in a winform textbox control to a csv file. The csv file has already been created and resides on one of our servers. I need to append to the csv not create it from the app. There's loads of examples of how to export a dataset to a csv but I'm struggling with exporting just one single string. Once again, apologies if this soun ...Show All

• Windows Forms Making a listview thread-safe

  All I have a listview that is populated by a number of threads running in the background. I currently have to use a mutex to make the listview threadsafe. Ie, before each thread tries to update the listview it waits on the listviewupdate mutex, updates it then releases the mutex. Although this works, I'd prefer to make it a little less "bodged" and would like to make the listview properly thread-safe without having to use a mutex. When ...Show All

• Visual C++ xml documentation, then what? (VS2005)

  Hi All, I am wondering about xml documentation for unmanaged C++. If I use the tags and document my code, I will get an xml file that contains the documentation. I have seen how it is used for things like intellisense and I have seen projects like NDoc for .NET libraries but there doesn't appear to be anything for C++ users. VS2003 used to have a "Build Comments Web Page" which I didn't really use all that much but now that I h ...Show All

• Visual Basic Converting String to double?

  OK i have a plain text file in a rich text box. This plain text file contains for the most part just text, but it has several chunks of data which are apparently stored as doubles For Example this string here: 33333oH@33333oH@26/01/06 I happen to know that the date field is a date of payment, and apparently, the data before this is the amount paid. The original program i am trying to read was written in quickbasic 7. I don't k ...Show All

• SQL Server Script Transformation

  A new question ! When you use a script transformation you have input rows and output rows.

• Visual Basic running a C# project in VB

  Hi, I have made a program, that starts in vb.net, getting all the data needed, but the output is in C# (using CsGL, but that doesn't really matter).Prob is, I don't find a way to get the data from the first one (the vb prog) to the second one (in C#). Meaning is that, after a button is pressed, the C# window is opened and gives the results. Anyone who knows how to do this cause I really don't find anything about it (I guess that there arent many ...Show All

• Visual Basic Having trouble with syntax

    Having trouble with syntax    What I'm trying to do here is get the value of the IDColumn.  I get a wobbly line under tbl at the bottom saying variable tbl is being used before it is assigned a value.  A NullReferenceException could result at runtime. Furthermore, I know ToString isn't going to do the trick, but I don't know what member will give me the value.  There isn't a value property, which seems a shortcom ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving from one TFS to another

  I've been running TFS and VSTS for one very large project, and it's been great, except for the fact that our server was a free workstation that really wasn't up to the task.  So, we got a new server.  Now, I need to move the project from the old server to the new server.  It seems like there is no tool, which I'm OK with - if I need to do a lot of manual steps, that is fine.  I was just hoping someone had done this, and could ...Show All
