• Visual Studio Team System Project fails to update project plan for tasks started early.

  We are using Team Foundation Server (MSF for Agile template) and Microsoft Project to manage software development and have encountered a problem severe enough to render Project nearly useless. Project fails to properly record work effort (actual work) for work done outside the timeframe for which it was scheduled. Step to reproduce the problem: 1. Use Project to schedule a task for some time in the future and assign it to a developer. 2. Have the developer update the "Completed" value of the work item, and save the work item. 3. In Project click "Refresh" and observe the GANTT chart for the task. Notice that it did ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using timers in vc++ via SetTimer and OnTimer

  hi . i am using SetTimer(...) combined with OnTimer(...) in my code to call 2 different methods on 2 different timers. Here's a simplified version of my code to make things clear: SetTimer(1, 100, NULL); SetTimer(2, 40, NULL); ... void CMTDlg::OnTimer(UINT nTimerID) { if (nTimerID == 1) { //capture an image from the webcam and save it in the 'img' folder } if (nTimerID == 2) { //some processing } } Now, my assumed working of the code was this: After 100 ms timer1 gets fired, OnTimer is called, and an image is saved in the img folder. This repeats every 100 ms. Mea ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql Configuration Problems (Desperately in need of help)

  Hi I am currently working on my final year project for uni using vs 2005, sql server express and xp pro sp2.

Ever since I havent been able to connect to the database and am very worried about it as I have spent a week tearing my hair out to no avail. The error I am getting is: Server Error in '/WebSi ...Show All

• .NET Development TableAdapter auto-generated code not working in VS 2005

  All, I'm having an issue with the DataSet/TableAdapter code that was auto-generated by Visual Studio Professional 2005. Here is a snippet from the DataSet.Designer.cs file that was created by the software: [System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeA ttribute() ] public void SetTaskOrderNoNull() { this[this.tableTaskOrder.TaskOrderNoColu mn] = System.Convert.DBNull; } The build error I get is: 'byte' does not contain a definition for 'Convert'.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I view Console.Writeline?

    I'm rather new to programming. I've read two VB Express books and everything that I could find concerning Console.Writeline, and yet I still cannot figure out how to view what I write to it. When I use Debug.Writeline, I can view what I write to it in the "Immediate" window. I guessed that I should be able to view Console.Writeline in the "Output" window. Is that correct I tried things like the example below, and nothing appeared in any of the windows that I looked at: ' System.Console.WriteLine Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports System Public Class TipCalculator    Private Const tipRate As Doubl ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista BizTalk Server and WWF integration

  Will BizTalk Server 2006 have Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) integrated with it Thanks, Sudheesh From what I have seen so far (from Biztalk and WWF), it seems that Biztalk is used more to tie different very disconnected applications together to perform a workflow operation. WWF is more of internal, you write individual applications around WWF. For example, you won't find a Sequential Workflow Console Application in Biztalk. A sequential workflow console app is basically a console app *hosting* a WWF workflow. Different kind of thinking. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Questions about the new CoerceValueCallback

  The documentation is currently a bit wonky, but here's my understanding of how this new system works: With a DP called X:    - In PropertyChangedCallback for X, you call CoerceValue on all properties that are dependent on X, including X itself.    - In CoerceValueCallback for X, you take the parameter, which is X's current value or desired value, and return what the actual value should be after considering the values of other properties that X is dependent on. So the property is coerced when it is written or one of it's dependencies is written. Is this correct Assuming it is, what happens in the following XAML scenari ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView and Custom DataBinding

  Hi together, I have got a little Problem here with Databinding to a datagridview control. I have made an own property class inherited from the PropertyDescriptor class. Additional I have a binding list wich holds an object collections of this PropertyDescriptor class. So for each row (and column) in my datagrid the method (from the inherited PropertyDescriptor class): public override object GetValue(object component) is called. So I can get the according property value of the current component (wich is one row in my case). This PropertyDescriptor class exposes also a property called: public override bool IsReadOnly so there I have no way to ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Non rectangle window in WPF

  See this example http://blogs.msdn.com/llobo/archive/2006/02/24/538757.aspx This however does'nt work with XAML files that have class files associated with them. The other issue is that this does'nt fit into the XAML app structure, Application, Window, Page etc. It would make a lot more sense for this to be factored into the Application or Windows\NavigationWindow classes's. Andrew, The fact that creating a non-rectangular window is not possible using the Window class is certainly a hole in the story, and one that we'd like to fix in the future. I do appreciate the feedback. Hopefully the workaroun ...Show All

• Visual C# How do you cast an object to a ComboBox Item to Select it....

  Hi all, I have a very simple class that has two properties (ID, and Desc). Now I use these to populate the ComboBox (setting the ID as DataValue, and Desc as TextValue) - the population of the Combo Control is fine. (stripped down example is below) public class RecGeoTree : MCS.PocketPC.Record { public int m_nElementUID; public string m_strElementDescription; } (Now I have a ComboBox populated with these RecGeoTree objects - thought they aren't RecGeoTree objects types, as ComboBoxes can't contain these objects). But, what I want to do is to be able to get an instance of a RecGeoTree object and to set the SelectedItem in the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development My Device Emulator stopped working.

  Hi! My Device Emulator stopped working suddenly (Maybe because I installed ActiveSync 3.8 then reinstalled 4.1 and I installed a VPC, but I removed it then). I'm using VS.NET 2005, and when I try to connect to any of the emulators, the connecting dialog shows up, but then nothing happens. In "Windows CE Remote Process Viewer" the "Failed to get connection object. Check your bootstrap/transport settings" error shows up, when I try to connect. I tried to repair the Windows Mobile 5.0 xxx Developer Tool Kit, but nothing happened. Do I really need to reinstall the entire VS.NET environment I don't want to do it Please he ...Show All
