• Visual C# VC# Express: How to make an icon appear for your EXE instead of the default

  Well, I feel kinda dumb. I have been programming C# for years, but after switching over to C# Express 2005 I can not for the life of me figure out this simple problem: When making a Winform app, how can I make my own icon appear for the EXE instead of the default one Just to clarify, I can of course associate the an icon of my choice with each form in my app. That works OK. BUT when I go to explorer to look at my executable file it has that ugle default. I want to replace that ugly default. Its so easy to do in VS 2003, and I am sure it has an easy answer in Express 2005 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TextStream - reading special characters

  I am trying to get TextStream to read a log file (text) with a special character in it.  The special character is the hex null (00).  A typical textreader (wordpad) represents it as a square.  This character is randomly placed throughout the log file.  The problem is whenever TextStream reads this characters it interprets it as a "endofstream" and stops reading.  I am not concerned about the character it can me replaced with a space.  I have tried both the ReadAll and the ReadLine but all fails.  Is there anyway around this   Is there some other way besides the "textstream" to read a text fil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Manual Test Case Management??

  Does Team System have a mechanism for Manual Test Case management   In other words, can I store test cases, and then track and manage test case execution history - Test Case management inside VS (instead of editing them in Word 2003). Use the Text Based manual tests instead of word based ones if you dont wish to have a dependancy on word. - Ability to specify pass/fail by the step instead of by the whole test; and then mark the whole test as failed. I will add this as a suggestion for V2. However, you can get some milage out of using the comments to state which step failed. - Automatically open the Manual Test Execution windo ...Show All
