• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage Techniques

  From the first glance of Team Test it seems as if the technique used for measuring code coverage is statement coverage. Are there plans to add support for other code coverage measures as well The British Standard for Software Component Testing BS7925-2 mentions the following techniques apart from statement coverage: BRANCH AND DECISION COVERAGE DATA FLOW COVERAGE BRANCH CONDITION COVERAGE BRANCH CONDITION COMBINATION COVERAGE MODIFIED CONDITION DECISION COVERAGE LCSAJ COVERAGE Of practical interest for me is branch coverage. The Food and Drug Administration sets the bar on code coverage for medical software. They state in their g ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registration

  Anyone else getting endlessly repeated requests from VB 2005 Express to register   I've registered 4 times so far, and still the balloon keeps popping up in the system tray to remind me to do so. I installed from the .img CD download, and there's no option anywhere to enter a reg code.  Does someone know of a registry fix that will turn this off   Nick Savoiu wrote: Hmm, I have the same problem. However, I don't quite understand what do you mean by "For optional registration, Visual Studio has no way of knowing you actually registered or not. " If I enter a registration code shouldn't th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh.FromStream method of C#

  I have a VertexBuffer object that I "manually" load with vertices. I then attempt to create a Mesh object by calling the Mesh.FromStream method. The first parameter of Mesh.FromStream takes a stream and I attempted to get the stream from the VertexBuffer object by calling VertexBuffer.Lock. I need a Mesh because I want to make use of the Intersect method. Has anyone ever attempted create a Mesh object from a "raw" VertexBuffer If so and you were successful, I would be interested in knowing how you did it. GraphicsStream gs = vtxBuffer.Lock(0, vtxBuffer.SizeInBytes, LockFlags .ReadOnly); mesh = Mesh .F ...Show All

They have the following schema pk_Items  (Primary Key, guid) ItemKey (Integer)  Additional fields I want to remove from the first table any rows that have a matching item key in the second table.

It isn't terrible performing either (well compared to the alternatives). Sahil Malik [MVP C#] Author: Pro ADO.NET 2.0 htt ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Pros and Cons

  What do you think are the pros and cons of Visual C# Express Edition Alex Hi, You can always use the VWD Express for web developement. Its also free. The best thing in the Express products is that its free. The sad thing is that its limited in feature. The number one feature that prevented me from using the C# express is the absence of Crystal Reports. And also, you can't create datasource via IDE on a remote database... cheers, Paul June A.

• Visual Studio Should the LAN Booster Service work in Beta 2?

  I tried configuring VSS 2005 to enable the LAN 'booster' service but it didn't seem to have much effect.  Putting network monitor on the line it looks as though Visual Studio 2005 is still using SMB to communicate with the VSS Server. Is there some configuration I need to do on the client end to get this working   The Visual SourceSafe help file doesn't say too much more than that the booster service is optional.  I took that to mean I didn't need to configure it at the Visual Studio plug-in end but perhaps I'm wrong   Alin Constantin - MSFT wrote: the 06ba error is RPC_S_SERVER_UNA ...Show All

• SQL Server Data source and data set confusion

  Maybe I am not understanding the way that these things work, but a little help would be apperciated. I want to set up my shared data sources and "write them in stone". To be honest, once a data source has been set up, there should be no reason the change it unless a login credential changes, or we change the name of a database; changes to data sources should be done by a senior admin (like me!). All fine so far Good... Are data sets associated with/bound exclusively to the report, or the data source For example, if I tie down my data sources and find a way to make them unchangeable, I then want myself and my collegues to be a ...Show All
