Visual Studio Team System How to find Const in the Fxcop1.32 rule?
I am using Fxcop 1.32. I have an urgent requirement to make all the private const variables in my class file should be camel case. So i am able to retrive that a variable is private but i am not able to retrive the const part. So my requirement is how to find that a variable is "const" or not could you please provide me pointers in this direction. Regards Ravi Kumar Just to amplify on Dave's (correct) answer a bit, you can use the field.IsInitOnly metadata in order to determine whether you're looking at a readonly value (in case that analysis is important for your custom rule).

Windows Live Developer Forums Receiving contact status change events in C++?
Hi there, I'm writing a C++ app that needs to initiate Windows Messenger conversations, and receive status change events for its contacts. I've found lots of information describing how to accomplish this using C# and .NET, but very little guidance for C++. I've been able to get my app to send new instant messages, but so far, I have not been able to find a way to receive the status change events. So I have 2 questions: 1. Is the C++ Messenger API still "supported" by Microsoft, and if so, where can I find the libraries and header files I've found the documentation on the MSDN site, but there don't seem to be any links to the actua ...Show All
SQL Server NullProcessing and Reference Dimensions
Have a Measure group in a fact table. This fact table links to the project dimension and the time dimension. In the project dimension there are some additional dates like ProjectStartDate and ProjectDueDate. So I create a new time dimension for these dates. So for the Measure Group / Time (ProjectStartDate) combination, I define the dimension usage as a reference to the project dimension. But when I process I get som errors on ProjectStartDate that date values (the NULL date) not exist time dimension (which is correct). To solve this I try to set up the NullProcessing for these dimensions. But in contrast with a regular dimension th ...Show All

SQL Server SOS..Pagination issues.. help needed
Hi My report consists of multiple sub reports . The report seems to be breaking up ( creating a page break) in the middle of nowhere on the master. I have checked the sub reports for page break settings, played around with the page layout properties but couldnt make it stop breaking. In the xml, I noticed a tag called <InteractiveHeight> set to 11in by default. Changing this seems to resolve the issue but I dont know whether it will break anything. Does any one know what this tag is for Thanks in advance Shai InteractiveHeight is only supported on RS 2005. Opening a report in BI Development Studio of ...Show All

Visual C++ Tips for speeding up debugging (stepping through code)?
I've got one particular large C++ project that, in VC 2005, when stepping through code in the debugger, it takes approximately 2 seconds for each hit of the F10 key (i.e. each line of code) to be executed. I've tried many things to attempt to speed it up: disable intellisense, renaming feacp.dll, removing all additional output windows, watch, breakpoints, etc, removing navigation bar from text editor window, disabling anti-virus on the machine, closing all other apps. It's always the same speed. Running on a dual P4 2.8 gig with 1 gig of memory, and hyperthreading enabled. Are there any other tips for speeding up debugging in the ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista CurrentStateId is always null
Hi! I have created State Machine Workflow and CurrentStateId is always null. My question is - does CurrentStateId must show the Id of the current state (activity) in the State Machine Workflow or not What I did to query the state is to define a variable called currentState in the IOrderService interface, and define a methods that set/get the currentState (i.e. getCurrentState() and setCurrentState(String s)) Then within each state in the state machine, I add in a InvokeMethod activity which invokes setCurrentState with the currentStateID. The external program that invokes the workflow will also be ...Show All

Smart Device Development Who has a PPC-6700 Sprint AudioVox Mobile 5 (Can I use GPS?)
I have the Sprint AudioVox PPC-6700 and I know that it has the built in GPS chipset but everywhere that I search I can not find out how to actually access the API. There are a few of the GPS API references throughout msdn & msdn2 but none have an actual walk through. It is very easy to access the phone API's and contact lists/appointments and whatnot but the GPS is not to be found. As far as the GPS is conserned one could argue that it isn't ment to be programmed or something but the fact is that in all documentation it says that e911 can use the gps and also applications that need your location (such as movie times or resteraunts ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System Deployment folder won't get copied.
In my test project I have a folder with a few xml files which I set the properties to be content/copy always. I added this folder to the additional files and directories to deploy window in my .testrunconfig file. When I run my test, all xml files are copied to the out directory but not the folder. So it basically flattens the directory structure on deployment. How do I tell it to preserve the directory structure Thanks. The directory structure is maintained beneath the directory that was selected for deployment. However, the selected directory itself is not created in the deployment directory. Thanks ...Show All
