• .NET Development xml documentation

  Hi! I've a problem cos my boss wants to do a strange thing (i think so). i'm gonna try to explain it: He wants to know how the .net generates the xml documentation when you programmer with c#. I mean which classes of .net are called to generate this xml. Basically, how (I supose) the compiler read (I supose) the .cs file and take just the documentation tags (<summary>,<param>...). Once you've got just the tags you need, it's easy to generate the xml, but i don't know how to do the before step. I have an idea but i think it's not the optimal one. My idea is: open the .cs file and go ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista A couple of questions regarding WF...

  I've just recently begun researching WF and I am very excited about the possibilities it offers for making Workflow applications. I have looked at all of the examples I can find, and I have just started looking through the samples included with the SDK, but I cannot find an answer to something that I would consider pretty simple. Let's say I have a helpdesk state machine workflow defined for dealing with incoming help requests. How would I present a view of all of the pending requests Do I have to instantiate that many workflow objects Do I simply query the store myself and populate a datagridview How have other people dealt with this My ot ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom ValidationRule examples?

  Hi, Are there examples/doc for writing your own validation rules If anyone had luck creating one, posting it up would be great.  Even greater would be if one of the default validation rule class (e.g. ValidationRuleFindText) source code was available (and how to register your own into Visual Studio. I know you're supposed to extend ValidationRule (base class) and implement the validate method, but a specific working example would clear up a lot of missing documentation (e.g. sender generic object). Hi dnelson MSFT I have tried with your coding. It could build sucessfully. But it didn't  validate my QueryStrings   ...Show All

• Smart Device Development TextBox Readonly gray background

  (Using Compact 1.1) When setting a textbox to readonly the background becomes gray. How can I avoid this Is there a neat trick I can use I tried creating a class and subclassing TextBox and overriding OnPaint but this does not work on 1.1. Are there any other options I also tried setting the control readonly to false and enable to false but then the font is gray. Thanks, When I first looked I could only find answers relevant to .Net 2.0 or the full version. But I actually found the answer I was looking for myself. All I need to do is use a Lable !!! Couldn't be easier... I mean is the c ...Show All

• SQL Server How to set a ReportParameter to the value NULL?

  Hi, how can I set a ReportParameter in C# to NULL My code is as follows ReportParameter [] param = new ReportParameter [1]; param[0] = new ReportParameter ( "LanguageID" , "1" ); param[1] = new ReportParameter ( "TopCount" , "30" ); this .ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(param); Sometimes I want to pass the value NULL for the parameter TopCount so my stored proc can handle a special case. I tried param[1] = new ReportParameter ( "TopCount" , null ); but it doesn't work... I know, that there is a possibility for using urls to pass parms. There you have to put the parm name, followed by ":isnull=true".  T ...Show All

  I am invoking a workflow from within a workflow. How can i pass in parameters If you are in the designer, once you set the TargetWorkflow property, the property brower should show you all public properties exposed by that workflow type and you can set/bind them.

• Visual Studio Team System Some reports are not being updated

  I'm not sure if this is a problem with my environment, or a misunderstanding on my part.  A couple of the reports are not being updated -- for example, the Builds report never shows anything, even though I've run several builds on the build server.  I'm also not seeing anything other than "zeros" in the Bug Rate report, even though I've created and resolved a couple of bugs. The only Error in the Application log is below, but I don't think it's related.  What else can I check Thanks, Phil Application Log Error: Event Type: Error Event Source: SQLSERVERAGENT Event Category: Alert Engine Event ID:  ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Roles and WWF

  I've read the articles that Microsoft have published about the new WWF. I saw only in the article by David Chappel a few words about this issue. In People 2 People Workflows one of the major concernes is how flexible is Role resolution and Role assignment works. Where can i get more info about how WWF is going to address this issue Hello Krishna, I'm deriving the class WorkflowRole, and then using it in an EventSink. When the call to the method I ncludesIdentity happens, the identity comes "" (empty).

• Visual Studio Express Editions moving to another computer?

  I've installed vwd2005 on my laptop and can't handle how slow it is. I've already registered it though, is it a problem to uninstall and reinstall on a different computer Im foreseeing a conflict. Am I too paranoid As the registration costs are Nil at the moment (Until Nov 2007) it shouldn't worry you.... But if you download the ISO install and install from there you do not need to worry about registrations, You will get a registration message for the first few times you run it. Have a look at the Express home page and the registration FAQ item 7. If you are using the Web installer to install the system, you will have to re ...Show All
