• Visual Studio Team System Get Latest Version is not..?

  We have been experiencing some issues with Get Latest Version not actually doing a Get Latest. If we compare 2 files that we know are different between a Workspace and the Source Repository we can see differences in the compare tool, but Source Control Explorer indicates that the latest version is on disk. If we delete the file from disk (well, move it), and perform a get, we still do not get the latest copy. The only way of getting the file with changes is to perform a Get Specific Version on that file, and force it to get the latest version. Also, performing a Get Latest recursive at the project or solution level is not always getting chan ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "Bitmap Fonts" in WPF?

  Are there such thing as "Bitmap Fonts" in WPF the vector text/fonts look great on my CRT...but horrible on the LCD at work especially for smaller fonts - same thing Flash use to suffer from prior to version 8...so was wondering if there are ways to use bitmap fonts or to control the anti-aliasing of the fonts used in WPF cheers We do not support 'bitmap fonts' in WPF. But I'm concerned that fonts in WPF look bad on your LCD screen. They should actually look better than on a CRT since we're using the sub-pixels on your LCD screen for better resolution. Is the resolution on your LCD screen ...Show All

• Visual C++ C++ or C++.NET

  Hello, i want to learn windows programming and i think (please correct me) that C++ is the best and stongest language to develop windows applications but i am just thinking do i have to start with C++ or with C++.NET and why please thanks.. It really depends on your application and which technologies you are already familiar with. Winforms (.net) is a good choice so that you can hook up to other managed applications. MFC (native) is also a good choice for native applications. Actually, in VC2005 it is a lot easier now to use both MCF & Winforms. If your application is all managed then go for the Winforms and I don't&nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Development across a network - Proposed solution

  When deploying a Windows app to our production server.  I get the following error when trying to print "Can not find keycodev2.dll, or invalid keycode".  I have tried adding the registration merge module to the program with no success.  I even was going to try the solution from the crnet_keycodev2.pdf until I got the the part where it tells you to add the ASPNET user account.  This server is in not connected to the internet (and never will be).  How do I fix this.  Please point me to a solution that will work for a Windows application.  This program will not be used on the Web.

• Visual Studio Team System Can't Run Unit Tests for Data Access Layer w/ SQL Server?

  I've been starting to do some unit testing with VSTS for Developers and it seems like I didn't get very far before I hit my first roadblock! I would like to create some unit tests for my applications data access layer.  However, when I try to create the connection to my SQL database, Visual Studio gives me the following error at design time: 'SqlConnection' is ambiguous in the namespace 'System.Data.SqlClient'. As it turns out, any reference to any methods in the System.Data.SqlClient assembly returns the same error in VS.NET which means it won't be possible to unit test my data access layer.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Enabling visual style

  Hi there, i am writin a little app, just to play around. when i set in the application propertys that visual styles should not be used and then added the following line..

• Visual Studio Express Editions RichTextBox - Font for visual lines > 4 should be RED

  VB Express 2005 I have a richtextbox and wish to have: 1) The font for lines 1 - 4 should be BLACK 2) The font for lines > 4 should be RED The above relates to visually lines and what one views on the screen and not carriage returns etc. This is line 1 - BLACK FONT This is line 2 - BLACK FONT This is line 3 - BLACK FONT This is line 4 - BLACK FONT This is line 5 - RED FONT This is line 6 - RED FONT NOTE: This should be done for visual lines so if someone types in a very long line it will still work for word wrapping.

• Visual C++ Where can I learn more about how to resolve linking errors?

  Where can I learn more about how to resolve linking errors I'm trying to port a Platform Builder example to VS2005. I can't find any good guides on the web. I'm getting: Error 1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "struct CRITICAL_SECTION g_CritSecSettings" ( g_CritSecSettings@@3UCRITICAL_SECTION@@A ) admin_dll.obj The first step in resolving unresolved symbols is determining what is not being resolved. Afterwards you have to find out what library it would be in. Taking the above as an example - let's suppose that the CRITICAL_SECTION was what was causing the problem. We would look and k ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Creating a Window from an activity

  I was trying to make a WPF window display in a custom activity's Execute method (that won't return until after the user dismisses the window). The thread that my activity executes on is a MTA thread which doesn't work for WPF windows. Is there another way I should go about running my window Thanks,   Tony I attempted what you suggested, but must have something wrong. This is the method that is invoked from the InvokeMethod activity. When my app starts up it creates the _window object (its a WPF Window derived class). Then I construct the workflow and tell it to begin. It calls PerformOperation as it ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Blocking deployment woes

  It appears I have two problems. The first is that VS2005 appears to be trying to deploy my static library projects. Now why would it want to do that Not that it appears to find them: Some further experimentation reveals that the error " The system cannot find the path specified. " occurs for projects set to deploy to the emulator while " The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel. " is reserved for projects attempting to deploy to an actual device. As it happens these are the exact same errors returned if I choose "Connect to device" from the Tools menu. ...Show All
