• .NET Development Policy settings

  Hi, Is it possible to apply policy settings(through policy file) in the DLL project. The DLL will be used by Windows form (client) application. I am having trouble doing this. I don't know how WSE runtime will find the policy file. Even if I set the file path in the app settings of DLL project then those settings cannot be recognized by the Main application. Is it true So DLL can access Web service but WSE settings can be applied on the ca ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problems on custom build step

  Hi folks, In a nutshell: I have a pre-link step which runs an in-house tool ("defgen") which used to work fine in VC6, but doesn't any more in VC8. While investigating it, I found out that: * the VC8 environment is not present for custom tools (namely, the variables set by VCVARS32.bat are undefined when the tool is run from the VC8 IDE) * (more serious) it seems that the IDE replaces the STDOUT of external tools with its own handler - which eff ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I call a target from another target? What about parameters?

  Hello, Currently I use dependencies for targets calls, but I prefer a "call" when ever I want, and maybe do something between the calls. I also want to use some fundamental targets that I want to call with different parameters each time. Can I do it Or is it just another dream Thanks You can call a target from another target in two ways. 1. Use the CallTarget task if the target is defined in the same project file, or if the p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Maximum Number of Files in Repository?

  An earlier thread hereabouts ( http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=2316 ) implies that version 1 of Team Foundation might struggle with a huge number of concurrent users/and or files, and that version 2 will "include all the scale work to run servers as big as we need them". I've seen a limit for number of users in version 1 suggested as 500 ( http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=8764 ). Any limit on the numb ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is XP Service Pack 2 really required for .NET 2.0?

  The requirements for .NET 2.0 state that XP Service Pack 2 is required which is a step up from the requirements for 1.1. (which dont specify any Service Packs)  This has become such a hot issue for us that is even questionable whether we want to use 2.0 due to this requirement alone. Is Service Pack 2 really required and if so, why   Thanks      Andrew Officially, XP SP2 is r ...Show All

• Visual C# "Layer of Abstraction" Confusion

  Hi folks, I'm trying to understand what events are, and primarily, why and when to use them, however, I'm having a little trouble understanding the subject. I hear a lot of people saying that events are another layer of abstraction, but I don't actually know what that means. I've tried Googling around, and I have found some sites that discuss it, but they seem to be talking to people who are CS graduates. Could someone explain the conc ...Show All

• Visual C++ Timing the compiler

  The Visual C++ 2003 linker has an undocumented /TIME option which reports how much time the linker has spent on each phase. Is there a corresponding option for the compiler   It would be helpful to know exactly how long each file took to compile.  I have a 146-file project taking nearly 30 minutes to build; it would be quite helpful to find out where the delays are. We do indeed use templates a lot ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a was to disable code analysis for an entire file?

  The VS 2005 generated files for datasets generate numerous warning messages under code analysis. Suppressing these messages individually is counter-productive, since the next time the files are generated by VS 2005 the suppression messages are lost. Is there a "global" way to suppress messages for individual files, similar to the ModuleSuppression.cs technique I put a suggestion up for this a few days ago as wel ...Show All
