• Windows Forms need to get a transparent object on a picturebox

  Hello, I need to achive the backstyle property of the VB6-usercontrol in .NET. I tried setting the backcolor of the .NET user control to Web.transparent but it is meant only for transparency to the form and not for any objects in the form. The reason to use the backstyle is to draw a regions like rectangle and circle over the thirdparty streaming control/object. Thanks, These two lines of code should certainly help you - this .SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor , true ); this .BackColor = Color.Transparent; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System migration from test director (quality center)

  how can i migrate data from test director to vsts. did anyone try to do it We do not have a converter to help with this. You will have to write a program that pulls defects from TD and imports them into TFS. There is a client API for programatically adding work items to TFS.

• Visual Studio Team System Added new states, do I need to add new ref names?

  The MSF Agile comes with three states for work items: Active, Resolved, and Closed. In my custom template, I have changed these to In Analysis, In Development, Dev Complete, In QA, Passed QA, Closed. Now In order to track and report the full life cycle of a work item, do I need to add new fields and ref names The fields related to event dates defined in MSF Agile are State Change Date, Activated Date, Resolved Date, Closed Date. They seem to match the states so this leads me think I might need to define my own fields and the related ref names such as Dev Complete Date, Pased QA Date etc in order for the reports and queries to be accurate wh ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlSerialize XmlElement in web service

    I have defined a wsdl file for a web service method that suppose to return an object to client.  I have the xml data load from the SQL server database that represents the object.

• Visual C++ Set VC++ Directories in Options dialog (Visual C++ Express)

  Details :  The VC++ Directories page on the Options dialog does not have a list box for viewing and modifying the directories used during a build. Consequently, it is not possible to modify the build directories using the IDE UI. Workaround : C++ Directories can be added, removed or changed by modifying the VCProjectEngine.dll.express.config file located in the .\vc\vcpackages subdirectory of the Visual C++ Express Edition install location in a text editor, saving the changes and restarting the Visual C++ Express Edition. Please make sure that you also delete the file "vccomponents.dat" located in the "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Ap ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using BitArray with BinaryWriter streams

  A question for those that, for one reason or another, have ever had to deal with binary on a Commercial Project. Converting a Byte into its Binary representation is done as follows: BitArray Name = new BitArray (byteobject); The BitArray can then be indexed to work with the data and process it. However when trying to put the data BACK INTO THE FILE, a problem arises. BinaryWriter Streams only accept bytes and other data to be written to the data stream; Converter Class DOES NOT have any method which accepts a BitArray; BitConverter Class also DOES NOT have any method which accepts a BitArray; So, if one wante ...Show All
