• Visual Studio Team System Add Header - Cookie does NOT work?

  In WebTest, there is an option to add headers, but it does not seem to be working. After I "Add Header", and choose "Cookie" as the name of the header and specify some value, when I replay the sequence back and look at the Request tab, the cookie shown does not match what I specified, but rather what the value that was set by a "Set-Cookie" call in one of the previous requests. Has anybody got set Cookie header to work Hi John, What you'll need to do for Beta2 is create a WebRequestPlugin that changes the value of the cookie coming back from the server in a PostRequest callout.  The proceedure is outlined below: 1.  ...Show All

• Visual Basic How would I restrict input for a textbox.

  I have some textboxes that I only want numbers in and only want a range of numbers to be valid. Also I do not want to use NUDs. I already have the textboxes connected to functons and subs so I do not really want to change them. How would I do this I used following code to be sure that the input values in textboxes were a number between 0,1 to 25. The stored array values are ten times as high as the input because and data type is "byte". The result will be that the stored values always are between 1 and 250. I think you can place this code in a button with the function "check if input is legal" without changin ...Show All

• Smart Device Development genasm.exe(1) : Initializing error

  I have built a simple NetCF 2.0 control that displays an image generated at runtime. It has 12 properties, all of them are public and their types are only string, float, Color, Font and 3 enums.

This class library provides the DynImage class used in the control above. Everything compiles and works fine. At the end I started adding design time attributes to my control.
