  Hello,  I am looking for suggestions on books specifically for TS Architects. Are there any good publications out there yet, that are not based upon beta releases of TS Thanks in advance. John Hi John, You've probably already seen the list of books on MSDN, but just in case you haven't it's at : http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/reference/books/ I've read Richard Hundhausen's book which provides a good overview but not too much in-depth hands-on stuff.

• .NET Development I figued it out!

  I currently have a project that I am working on where I have a web form built that a user enters their information into, clicks submit, the values are then entered into an XML file and saved.  The values from the XML file are then imported into an Excel 2003 worksheet that is on the server.  The worksheet calculates the results, and the response is returned back to the user's web page.  I was using another method in where I was submitting each value to the excel worksheet individually (instead of creating and importing the XML file), which worked, but took about 5 minutes to execute.  I am trying to create the XM ...Show All

• Visual C++ About the extension of properties file

  Hi All, I am a beginner in VC++ and I would like to ask a question here. As I had migrated a VC++ project from VC6 to VC7. The program can be built successfully but the program fails to execute. The logic of the program requires to load a properties file and perform some library initialization. (e.g. abc.properties). The program fails to run because the program has some memory allocation problem when I execute it in debug mode. However, when I modified the source code to read the properties with different extension (e.g. abc.propertiess). The program runs without problem. Although this problem is somehow strange, do everyone have any i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) A more complexed usage

  Hi, At work, we use mapping engine that uses GDI+ as renderer. Map is combined of several small bitmaps. At the background we build a "BIG" bitmap from 9x9 tiles of bitmaps. The viewed area is clipped from the "BIG" bitmap. We used to refresh the map every 300mSec in order to see location changes of icons/shapes which we managed as layers. I'm evaluating how to do it/ is it the purpose of WPF There is no OnPaint event (which is fine by me) so every icon/shape is an object and all i have to do is update it location.... GREAT !!!! I have few problems: 1. How can i load several bitmaps, combine them to one big map and cli ...Show All
