• Visual Studio "Version Not Found" error in automation

  Hi I'm writing some SourceSafe automation to get specific versions of files. I'm writing in VB.NET and SourceSafe is version 6.0.d When I identify the version of the file I want and issue the GET command it fails with "Version not found". Obviously this is wrong because I've just correctly identified the version. This is my code... ................................................

  I want to capture the text while the user is typing in a datagridview textbox cell. So far, I've read that I have to use the Editingcontrol in some way. Thanks for any help!

  I'm changing the template for a radio button but my property setter seems unable to find the TargetName i've specified.

• Visual Studio Team System NUnit or VSTS Team Test

  Discuss.... We have mstest.exe for running tests from the command line (in case you're not using MSBuild.exe) and we also work with msbuild's "tasks" where you can specify which tests you'd like to run.  These are authored from the UI when you're creating a new "build type" as part of VSTS.

• Windows Forms Sending PDFs to a printer

  Hi, I am trying to write a web service which will take a few thousands of PDFs from a shared folder and send them to multiple printers for printing. All these should happen without any user intervention. Can anyone teach me how to go about doing that in c# The printdocument class in .NET does not seem to be suitable. Can anyone help me or point me to some other resources I do not have the luxury of buying third party components to assist me on this task. Thank you very much!! I managed to find a way of doing this by calling an external process in my .NET code. Below are the codes that I use. Pro ...Show All

• Windows Forms Blank Rows in DataTables

  I've implemented a function to insert a blank row into my datatable, however, I'm running into a few issues with it. Namely, it's not adding a blank entry for all the columns. Is there a way to iterate through the columns in my combobox, and based on the datatype of the column, insert the appropriate blank value Currently I have the following: Friend Shared Function InsertBlankRow( ByVal Source As DataTable) As DataTable Dim myNewSource As DataTable = Source Dim myBlankRow As DataRow = myNewSource.NewRow Dim i As Integer MessageBox.Show(myNewSource.Columns.Count) For i = 0 To myNewSource.Column ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting a Schema Context for a Session

  Is there a way to specify a given Schema as the currently active one for a given database session i.e. im looking for somthing like: Use Schema=<name> Execute Queries / Stored Procs, etc ..... I want all the Queries and Stored Procs to execute on the Schema set initially. I can't use the Default_Schema on the User to do this due to certain restrictions in the way we create users and Schemas. I know that i can always qualify the objects in the Queries with a Schema Name, but i have a requirement where the Queries need to be generic in nature and need to run on one of many identical schemas in the Database. Is this Pos ...Show All

• Visual Basic Mathmatical Equations

  Im new to the VB language so forgive me if this sounds stupid. I am programming in Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition if it makes a difference. I have created my first program but i need it to diplay decimal values as fractions, as well as i need those fractions in simplist form. Example: X = .8888888889             If the decimal is converted to a fraction it must be 8/9, and no other fraction. Thanx I'm not a math major, so I suspect you can find a much more efficient algorithm on one of the code/algorithm web sites to do what you are tryin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sluggish performance 2005 final release - Us or MS?

  We have a windows application, originally developed in VS 2003, now in VS 2005 final release, using Visual Basic.  It has become painfully sluggish to design in, though the speed when running the app is fine.  My PC is a Pentium 4, 2.5 ghz with one meg ram. I can not tell if the problem is with us and the way we designed the solution, or if it has something to do with Microsoft and Visual Studio as a whole.  I realize that you are capable of having a field day on my ignorance but hope you will resist the temptation. When opening the app it takes 3 minutes before we can actually get anything done. The Solution Explor ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server API Documentation

  I'm wanting to write a custom checkin policy and have got the right assembly referenced, but am somewhat disappointed at the lack of in-line documentation on the API. I.e. - there's no XmlComments around the API's public methods (and accordingly, no intellisense) and thus far, I've been unable to find the reference anywhere online. Still looking, but can anyone speed up my search The following blog posts will help you get up to speed on writing a checkin policy. http://blogs.msdn.com/jmanning/archive/2006/01/21/515858.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/jmanning/archive/2005/09/16/469217.aspx The API document ...Show All

  OK, I'm having a very peculiar problem here. I've got a modified DataGridViewTextBoxCell where I want to override the GetFormattedValue function to handle complex types in my data source.
