Does the server get reset every now and again Hi Skute.  I've seen at least one of your critters on my server.  I assume this is a recent problem   I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Save info

  how can i make a program ask a question, save the answer somewhere and never ask the question again but remembers the info even when it is resarted and can refer to it. so like if i said my name is ben the first time i ran it every time it started up it said "hello ben" or what ever i'd put. The qualities of answers, cannot exceed the clearity of questions asked. A program can't really ask a question. It can present a stri ...Show All

• Visual C++ C4533 warning, "initialization skipped by goto"

  Is this warning buggy in MSVC 7.1 or is it just a stupid warning In the example given here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/f7687yks.aspx It makes sense because the condition, (1) will always be true and the goto will always skip the initialization. But the following code gives me the same C4533 warning and it makes absolutely no sense why it should. #include <iostream> using namespace std; struct TOILET {   &n ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista IsExecutable

  CompositeActivity has an ExecutableActivities property that returns all child activities that will be executed. I'm sure ExecutableActivities takes into account whether or not a child activity is commented, but it may also include other factors. I was hoping that Activity would have an IsExecutable property on it, but it does not. Is there another way to determine if a single activity is executable Or could an IsExecutable property be ...Show All

The thing is that these instances become basically unusable for no obvious reasons (I can create other instances with exactly the same data in their properties without having any problem with them) and this IndexOutOfRangeException gets thrown when I'm calling the GetWorkflow function of the ...Show All

  I have a folder in web project that holds uploaded by user image files. I really would prefer that source control would ingnore that folder. Is it possible to do that Thank you The "Web Site" project type does not support the Exclude From SCC feature, unfortunately. This isn't specific to TFS if that matters at all.
