• Visual Studio Tools for Office Clear data from excelsheet

• Visual Studio Team System Non-VS client for TS source control?

  Newbie question: we have developers who do embedded work and don't use Visual Studio. They prefer their own editors and must use speciaiized compilers/linkers. They currently use SourceSafe for source control. Is there a standalone VSTS source control client that these folks could use We are very interested in changesets, shelving and the tying back to project tasks. Are these only available in Visual Studio/VSTS As far as I understand there is VSTS client which looks just like Visual Studio 2005, but without any languages installed. Using this client you will be able to check files in/out and access al ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista FileWatchService and State Machine Workflows

  I have a question in regard to the FileWatcherService activity available for download and how to incorporate it with a statemachine workflow. I am developing a state machine that will react to files being dropped into a FTP store. Based on the file extension and name of the file, a new workflow instance will be started or a persisted one with be reloaded. In either event the appropriate state activity will run. The FileWatchService will need to react to files being dropped info the FTP site overtime. Using the FileWatchService example, once that workflow example completes (for one file) the FileWatchService does not react to new files. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Support for VB6 and COM

  We currently use VB6 and have several applications that make use of COM objects. It works well and we're happy with it. What I'm wondering is, at what point might support for VB6 be dropped in favor of newer versions and, when we do eventually upgrade, should we be concerned that we may at some point lose support in the tool for COM programming (and if so, when) Thank you so much for any insight you can provide.

• .NET Development access permission probelms. HELP ME!!!

  I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop, both running win xp home. Both are wirlessly enabled and connect wirelessly to the internet through a belkin router. The desktop will happily see the laptop and share files, and everything seems to work just fine. The laptop, however, refuses to see the desktop. I have shared all folders properly, both are part of the same workgroup, and I have run the network set up wizard, and tried to connect using RUN and the IP address.

• Visual C# Specifying and Encoding w/ Trace and FileStream

  Hi ... I would like to have my trace file produced with a Unicode encoding. I'm using a FileStream and wasn't sure how to specify a different encoding. Any suggestions on documentation Thanks! Doug You need to use a StreamWriter instead of FileStream. StreamWriter has constructors that accept an Encoding parameter. For example StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("c:\\mytrace.log", true, Encoding.Unicode); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop 1.35 and VS 2005

  Hi all, I've got a couple of custom rule libraries here that I need support usage with both FxCop and VS 2005. I understand that I need to compile my rules against the specific FxCop assemblies for each of the two (FxCop assemblies for FxCop GUI, and VS\FxCop to VS 2005 IDE). What's the best way to do that Having to remove and add references so to compile my libraries seems like a big hassle to me (along with having to maintain separate versions of my rule assemblies). Any comments are highly appreciated. Thanks! Claudio Lassala Claudio, Unfortunately, until we improve this (which is in our plans for Orcas), that's the o ...Show All
