• Visual Studio check-out causes refresh of all (most) files in project

  Hello, I'm using VS 2005 on an XP pro machine. I have a .resx file in a sub-folder on the project, used for localisation by most pages. My business partner and I are using sourcesafe over the internet. When I check out the .resx file (say by trying to edit) , sourcesafe does check-out, but I don't get access for 25 minutes while VS cycles through all the files that reference the .resx file. Any way of stopping this Hi, I don't know what VS is doing " for 25 minutes while VS cycles through all the files that reference the .resx file", but that doesn't sound like a SourceS ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Grid headers default mouse pointers etc...

  Hi all; I am creating grids in my forms by dropping a table into the form. The default header's mouse icon is a down arrow which misleads the user into thinking that the column can be sorted.

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Performance issues

  I am doing some timing measurements to figure out whether we can use WWF for orchastrating code within our project. Here are some of the numbers I am getting and questions associated with them: 1. For a workflow with about 5-6 activities including a parallel activity and several code activities, the time to create the workflow the first time is more than 300 millisecs (328, 359, etc). All subsequent times it takes about 15 millisecs. What is the reason for the significantly larger creation time the first time Is there any way to reduce this time Our project might need to use 1000's of workflows. 2. The time to execute the workflow is no ...Show All

• SQL Server Bar Chart Static width

  I have developed a subreport with a bar chart that is the width of a lanscaped page. When presenting a series of bars, the width of each bar changes depending on the number of data points presented. My objective is to present each bar with the same width regardless of the number of data points. Can anyone help me -- please If you just want to draw bars, you could use a different approach which guarantees identical width regardless of the amount of data. The approach uses a nice little trick Bob and I came up with a couple of months ago (discussed in Bob's blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/bobmeyers/archive/2005/1 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Textbox control focus

  On a form's load I set focus to a textbox by using the focus() method.  Now when the form loads it sets the focus to the first item in the tab order instead. Any ideas DeanRIowa Please use Select instead. The difference between Focus and Select is that Focus is a more low-level method that directly uses Windows functions to send the WM_FOCUS message to a control. This will not always work, for instance in the Load function, since CanFocus will return false there. CanFocus directly checks the IsWindowVisible and IsWindowEnabled functions, while CanSelect checks the Control.Enabled and Control.Vi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team build - 'enlistment is empty'

  I have two team projects defined, and I've previously created a team build for one of them. Now, when I try to create a new team build in either team project I get a diaglog that says "Enlistment is empty.  The workspace " server " does not have any working folder mappings (where server is replaced with the name of my TFS server). One oddity that I note - in the source controll explorer, the "workspace" is named the same as the client machine, while the Team Build error dialog is griping about a workspace named the same as the TFS app-tier machine.  What's a 'workspace' in this context   Where are they defined   How can I ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with XsltCompiledTransform for large data

  Hello! I was wondering if anybody could help me to solve my problem: I call a stored proc in SQL server with ExecuteXmlReader, then load my xslt stylesheet into XsltCompiledTransform, create a output file stream.  and call Transform method. The problem is that it works fine for small resultsets. Fot large resultsets ( ~1Mil Rows ) the process in Task Manager increases memory allocation and slows down extremely. I hoped that as I used xmlreader and streamwriter there should not be a big memory problem like with the case of DataSet instead of XmlWriter. Alas, this is not true. Could anybody give any suggestions on this Thanks in advance ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DesignerSerializationManager seems to not work with typeproviders

  I am trying to deserialize a XOML file. This XOML file contains a namespace that points back to the original assembly. I add the assemblies through a typeprovider to the DesignerSerializationManager but it seems to ignore these, i.e. "Type xxx could not be resolved" If I use xmlns:ns0="clr-namespace: etc in the XOML then I can deserialize the XOML. But I rather would not do that. I rather use xmlns:ns0=" http://schemas.somecompany.com/workflowlibrary " I use the "XmlnsDefinition" in the assembly.
