• Visual Studio Team System Unable to add Web parts to the Project Portal. Useless error message not helpful.

  On our project portal I would like to change the layout. But I have an assymetric problem which is proving painfully difficult to diagnose, understand or correct. It's a clean otherwise functional TFS system. If I try to add a web part to the project portal however I get this error message: Error An unexpected error has occurred.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Packet rate

  Just a small question about the packet rate, does the 120 packets a minute apply to incoming and outgoing, or is it applied to outgoing packages only. Would make a big difference because if it applies to the total ammount of packages it means you can only send and receive a packet per second if you are using real-time package data. -joost As far as I know there isn't a real limit on the size. At least it's not meantioned anywhere (as you probably already noticed) and I have never experienced it. The 120 / minute limit is easy to test, because with a provisioned app, Messenger will just cut off your connecti ...Show All

• Windows Forms Unable to cast object of type 'X' to type 'X'

  The actual projects structure is: + MyServerFramework |---QueryComponent.cs ... + MyServerFramework.Design |---QueryComponentDesigner.cs ... The MyServerFramework.Design project has a reference to MyServerFramework, and is compiled alone in its own solution which also contains MyServerFramework, and then placed in a folder that is referenced the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders key so the IDE can find it.

• Smart Device Development CF2 - Closing a form with an embedded WebBrowser closes my entire app

  I've been programming in the UNIX world for years, so I'll admit that I'm fairly new to programming Windows Forms and CF... but this seems definitely idiosyncratic and I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent workaround... I'm using an embedded web browser control to display formatted text output of variable length (it seemed the only fairly straight forward way of doing it for Windows Mobile 5), but when I call the form.close method, my entire application exits. Everywhere else I've ever used this, it returns me to the perviously-open form before it in the navigation stack. I've 'worked around' this by calling form.hide here, instead, ...Show All
