  Hi. I have a combobox and a text field tied to a dataset using databindings.  The combo box displays titles of movies and the text field displays a description.  This works nice so that when the user selects a different movie title, the text field automatically shows the correct movie description.  However, I want the user to be able to  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS integration with QTP

  Hi, We are currently using Mercury QTP 8.2. And our application is a .NET based application. So I wanted to know if you guys have any plans of integrating QTP with VSTS so that we don't have to switch the scripts from QTP to VSTS. Thanks, Amit. I believe that is what the generic test type is for. It allows you to call external programs to execute a test for you. MArk B. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Target against a specific .Net version?

  Hi, I've just got a nightly build automation process set up using TFSBuild.exe and supplying it with the appropriate server, project, and BuildType paramaters. Is there any way to specify that I want the particular build to be under .net version 1.1 or 2.0 I am assuming that as I have installed VS 2005, SQL Server 2005, and now the trial of VSTS etc that it will automatically think it is building for 2.0, but is there a way to do 1.1 as well Is this feature also available via the gui, either in Visual Studio, or in team suite Regards, Peds Another useful post - http://blogs.msdn.com/gautamg/archive/2006/04/19/5789 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing database login info at runtime VS05 RTM vs VS05 Beta 2

  I've a group of reports developed with Crystal 11 that need to have their database connection information changed at runtime.  I'm following the sample code pattern for integrated security with winforms.  With VS05 Beta 2 this all worked just fine.  With VS05 RTM if the runtime database connection matches the report connection everything works fine.  If the runtime connection is to a different database I get an error that seems to indicate that the Re portDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields values aren't being read correctly. Has Crystal functionality changed from Beta 2 to RTM   Is the sample code wrong for the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions CDate function returns 'IndexOutOfRange' error - also in VB.Net 2005 Beta2

  Hi folks, I have already reported this error in the VS 2005 Beta2 forum, but was told that it was not reproducible (VbCity and VBug, and your UK Launch team were also unable to reproduce the problem). I think I now have a lead on the issue! It also looks similar to a problem reported yesterday on the VB Express forum - 'I keep getting the out of range exception'. I have condensed the problem to two lines of code:       Dim myDate as DateTime       myDate = CDate("01/01/2005") The above error is reported on execution of the second line. This has now occurred on 6 different ...Show All

  Hi; If I call ResourceBundle.getBundle("resources", locale) where locale is for a locale I don't have a resource for (I used "zz_XX") - it throws the ArgumentOutOfRange exception.
