• Visual Studio How can i force the placement of a port on its parent ?

  I would force the position of a port on the bottom edge on its parent. Is it possible to implement this feature There is a PortPlacementHelper property but it's a non overridable static property. Is it a way Thanks,   Hi Malain, You need to write a BoundsRule for the Port shape. BoundsRules can be applied to any shape, and are used (1) to restrict how the user can resize the shape (not applicable to Ports) and (2) to restrict how the user can place the shape. using System; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams; public p ...Show All

  When I select "Add Windows Users or Groups", it only shows the local machine, I can't browse to the domain, and can't add user in the form "Domain Name\User Name". The machine has already joined to the domain and the current user is the TFS administrator (also Domain Admin). How can I add domain user to TFS groups Thanks!

  I'm trying to write a function to genericly return a new instances of a Windows form control based on its typename. It would seem that I should be able to do something like.
