• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Espresso sample: Dynamo

  I would just like to have a clear definition of what Dynamo is all about. And also, what is the definition of the Binding. Is Dynamo only for anonymous types Does a binding represent a Property and the expression that represents its value Dynamo = new { ... } Binding = the "OrderCount = c.Orders.Count" in new { OrderCount = c.Orders.Count, ... } expression Oh! I should have realised. But, ... it just goes to prove my point, that having a pre-made sequence hasher would be usefull and prevent errors. ...Show All

• Visual C++ 16 Bit app and only standard library during compile

  I am running into a problem getting a console app I build with VS Studio 2005 to work in Windows 95. It works fine in all other version but when I run it on Windows 95 i receive the error: linked to missing export KERNEL32.DLL:IsDebuggerPresent Now when I compile this same program in VC 6.0 ...it works fine. So I am not sure what it could be Is it because .Net headers are being added Is there a way to make a project in Visual Studio 2005 compile as if it was VC 6.0 Compile a program without any .Net at all in it Compile a 16 bit app Not sure which question is the right one,but am not sure what the problem could be. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Backup you data with Team Foundation Server Beta 3

  Since the documentation looks to be outdated: What are the steps to take to backup all the data within TFS3. It should be a backup of all tables (including SharePoint Services and Reporting Serves data) from SQL Server and a backup of Windows SharePoint Services. Is that it Are the attachements now stored within the database Thanks, Neno Yes, all of the mutable data is now within the database.  So backing up TFS is just backing up all of the SQL databases on the data tier.  Our admin and operations guide will have details on how to do that but it's pretty straight forward. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I search thru dataset via code?

  Hi, I'm new to VB 2005 Express so.... I have a project that allows the user to select 2 items from 2 listboxes. The listboxes are populated from 2 datasets. I capture the 2 items selected as strings. So far, so good.... Here's where I'm stuck: I want to take the two strings and search (query ) a third dataset for a record that contains both strings. I then want to return a value located in this record. I do not want to diplay this value, I just want to use it to compute something in my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting TeamBuilds in the RTM

  In the RTM of TFS will we be able to delete past team builds from within the IDE or are will still limited to using tfsbuild delete from the command line Thanks Thank YOU SO MUCH Ling!  Works like a charm!  One question though.  I'm assuming that the build list must contain at least on listitem   I tried importing a new global list for the build list and the schema doesn't allow an <GLOBALLIST> item with no <LISTITEM> defined.  Also <LISTITEM value = ""> is not allowed either.  Is this possible or by design Thanks again! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System List of files updated?

  Our development team has just converted from CVS to Team System. One of the things we can't seem to find is the output of updated files when you get latest. I have gotten this output once in Team System, but only when I have a conflict. We'd really like to be able to see this output any time we get latest. Is there any way to get Team System to show it to us even when there isn't a conflict Thanks, Patrick The list is not printed in the UI (aside from what flashes by in the progress dialog). If you're used to CVS you'll probably find the command line most familiar. ...Show All

• Visual Basic code for toolstrip copy button

  I am a newbie having fun with Visual Basic Express 2005. I am creating a dedicated browser using the WebBrowser control. I have added a toolstrip and created basic buttons (back, forward, refresh, home, print) that work but am at a loss how to get the copy button to work. I realize it will probably require an “if … else” method to ensure that some text has been selected prior to putting it on the clipboard. I have found several resources on copying from a textbox but the text will be copied from a webpage in the webbrowser. Any guidance to help me along in creating the required code to get the copy button to work will be appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual C# Determine origin of function call while debugging

  Is there any simple way of finding the origin of the call to a specific function once you have stopped at a breakpoint on that function Click on the CallStack tab (the tab is usually located in the same tool window as Command Window, Breakpoints, Tasks and Output). It should show your current function call highlighted (with red breakpoint and yellow arrow). Look directory below that highlighted line to find out who called the function... you may have [<non-user code>] indicated, which means that it is code that you don't have the source for (for example the framework)... as you continue to look furthe ...Show All
