• Visual Studio Team System Can't Install TFS RC on a Domain Controller???

  We can no longer install TFS (RC) on a domain controller This worked in earlier betas and CTP versions. But now I'm told with the installer that this is not a supported configuration, yet the installation guide talks about installing on a DC. I wasted all this time setting up the DC system and get to the point of running TFS install and am told I can no longer do this I've seen Microsoft respondents in the past indicate that you can install on a DC in these forums. What is going on here This is annoying. Due to the issues involved in installing and setting up TFS to work on a Domain Controller, we ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using the Plaform SDK with Visual Studio.Net 2003

  I wish to use the "Windows Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK" with Visual Studio.Net 2003 This is because the DirectShow software has been moved from the DirectX SDK to the Platform SDK (and I wish to use the latest 'august 2005' version of the DirectX SDK and also DirectShow, so I need both SDKs installed) My problem is that having registered the Platform SDK's directories with Visual Studio, a re-compile of my previously working c++ code now generates the following error. c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\atlmfc\include\atlsocket.inl(26): error C3861: 'FreeAddrInfo': identifier not found, even with argument-dependent l ...Show All

• .NET Development Writing to CD

  Hi, How can I enable the Windows 'Send to' method in my program, so that customers can send write their data to a CD Thanks. You can use the wizard if all the requirements are met: OS > XP, cd burner drive installed, burning allowed on the drive, IMAPI service running... Given all that, you need to get an ICDBurn interface which can talk to the MSDiscMasterObj that deals with CD burning. For this you have to define the interface, then create one with Activator.createinstance. When you call the interfaces Burn method, it will pop up the wizard and take the user through burning the contents of the st ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Avg. Response Time

  Hi, I am running a load test containing webtests. Each webtest has one webservice request. The avg. response time of each request is aroung 12msec(0.012sec). I see a counter "% Time in Webtest Code" which shows around 45%. My question is if the avg. response time also includes the time spent in the webtest code . If this is the case, is the actual response time 12msec - 5.4msec(45% of the total avg. response time) Please advise. Thanks, The reported response time is just the time between submitting the request and receiving the response from the server. So, the actual response time for the requst is ~12 ...Show All

• Windows Forms How2 - Drag&Drop onto a From without using Controls

  Hi, I am trying to create a dropzone form which is completely blank (No controls) so that I can drag and drop any file from the desktop onto the form which then moves the file from the desktop to the directory c:\dropzone All I can find so far is drag and drop with controls not just the form. Can anyone help with the VB.net code now I have never used an empty form as a drop target, but a form is a control. If you can drop on any control, you can drop on a form. If you have sample code that drops on control 'A', change that code so control 'A' is your form. ...Show All
