• Visual Studio Team System Creating additional ordered tests invalidates the existing ones

  I created several ordered tests originally. The next day I created another one and now the original set of ordered tests are not valid and cannot be run. When I open them up, they still show the list of web tests I selected but it says the files cannot be found. Any ideas what is causing this Hi, This could have happened due to several reasons: 1. You deleted the tests that were part of your ordered test. 2. You moved the tests to a directory other than where they originally lived. 3. You renamed the tests after having them added to the ordered test. Any of these will cause the ordered test to com ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office DocumentChange event is fired when dialogs pop up

  Hi, I'm using the DocumentChange event to handle stuff when I'm changing between documents, loading or creating a new document. I use forms for different stuff, and when opening a form or any form of dialog (e.g. MessageBox), and the focus is returned back to the same document, the DocumentChange event is fired. How can I avoid this behavior such that it only fires (or checks) when changing from a document to another document Strangely enough, this also results in forms being popped up again a number of times (usually from 2-5 times) when pressing either Ok or Cancel. Thanks, Jens Hi Jens, There are a number of things you could do. ...Show All
