• Visual Studio Merging auto-generated code with custom code?

  Let’s say you have a DSL combined with a set of wizard and recipes to generate code for a custom framework on which a customer would like to build all future .NET applications. As a developer I start the first iteration of the application development and generate supported implementation artifacts. Then I continue adding my business logic (e.g. code behind “click” events in a form or code in C# classes which skeletons were generated through recipes). In iteration #2 I figure that I messed up the framework code that was initially generated. For instance, I modified the caching mechanism of the framework which in consequence led to viol ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Craziness in my Upgrade to RC0

  All was going along swimmingly in my upgrade from Beta 3 Refresh to RC until.... I was actually running the install for RC. I had followed all the steps as directed. The tfsupgradeat.exe had run successfully and dropped the two databases as expected. One being TFSActivityLogging. During the setup run for a single server if the RC the following error appears: Received Error 32000 The command line "C:\program files\Microsoft visual studio 2005 team foundation server\tools\tfsadminutil.exe setup "joc\TFSSERVICE" "vsts-dev1" "TfsWorkItemTracking;TfsWorkItemTrackingAttachment;TfsVersionControl;TfsActivityLo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Next WCF CTP?

  My project is currently using the January CTP bits, and we refrained from moving to the February drop because we want to avoid the overhead of switching to every new build that comes out. March and April, however, proved to be CTP-less months, and the more work we do with the January code, the more we feel we might have to rewrite bits. We already have things we know will require reworking for February, but the more time passes, the more we're afraid of switching to the Feb build just before a newer, better version comes out. So is there any idea when the next usable build will be released Hi Avn ...Show All

• .NET Development Possible bug? FileIOPermission failed

  I think the following code should throw an SecurityException if I run the code from a network path. But it does not. try {     FileIOPermission perm = new FileIOPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted);     perm.Demand(); } catch (SecurityException ex) {     MessageBox.Show("Sorry, you can only run this application from your local disk.", "Security Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);     return ; }   And another problem I found is that I do not need to call Demand() to let SecurityException be thrown. Look at the following code: FileIOPermission p ...Show All

• Visual C# simulating domain users file operations

  Hi guys, I want to simulate in code that some domain user is copying file from location to another. This user is not the current logged in user. I'm designing a testing tool that simulates domain users file operations to test access right on a certain folder.

• SQL Server MCTS Exam 70-431 Database Administration Study Documementation and Samples ?

  Hi, I am looking for good documentation and examples to use to 'study' for Microsoft exam 70-431. This has everything to do with nuts-and-bolts Database Administration of SQL Server 2005. The December BOL examples, do not cover enough topics. The topics that are covered are not in enough detail. The 70-431 exam requirements are very detailed. This seems to be a nuts-and-bolts test. I am looking for nuts-and-bolts study material. No books are published yet. Does anyone have any good ideas on where to find 'good' samples and tutorials meant for a person who is studying for the new Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Database Administrator ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectSound capture in MDX2 where is the CaptureBuffer.Read function

  (MDX = Managed Direct X) I am trying to convert my MDX1 sound recorder library to MDX2. I am nearly there but for this issue with the CaptureBuffer class. In MDX1 I read from the buffer like so.. l_CaptureData = DirectCast(m_CaptureBuffer.Read(m_CaptureOffset, GetType(Byte), Microsoft.DirectX.DirectSound.LockFlag.None, l_LockSize), Byte()) In MDX2 there doesn't appear to be a way to get at the bytes in the CaptureBuffer class. There is no Read function or an equivalent. As the next steps I want to take are to save the bytes to a wav file and update a graph (a pretty common operation I would think) so I am assuming that there must be a wa ...Show All
