• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Are drag-and-drop operations supported in WBAs?

  Are drag-and-drop operations supported in Web Browser Applications I have tried to drag and drop a file from the desktop to an element, but it seems it is not working. Is it a security restriction Nevermind ... I was trying to see if it's possible for a simpler way to open files from the local computer: 1. User drops a file onto an element. 2. Initialize OpenFileDialog's InitialDirectory and FileName with the file's path. 3. User clicks OK on the OpenFileDialog. However step 2 is not possible due to security restrictions so step 1 doesn't matter anymore. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Change requests in MSF Agile

  In our company we have a lot of projects with fixed price contracts. We handle changes in the requirements with change requests which generate additional costs for our customers. In MSF CMMI there is a work item type for this issue but in MSF Agile not. I think there is a good reason for the absence of this work item type in the agile process. Can anyone give me some guidance how the process of a change request should be implemented in MSF Agile Thanks Marco There is another third party implementation - you could also take a look at TeamCompanion by Ekobit: http://www.teamcompanion. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Workspaces are broken

  I created a team project, created a distributed app in that project and checked it in. I then created another team project, created a native C++ app in that project and checked it in. Doing the above broke Team Build since both projects were associated with a single source control workspace.  So I created a second workspace for the second project, and created a mapping in that workspace between the source control branch and working folder for that project. Team build is now happy, but the project itself is broken.  Opening the source control explorer for the second project shows no mapping for any of the files, nor can I find any ...Show All
