• Visual Studio Team System excludegroups filteritem does not filter local groups.

  Hi, I have a custom Process Template generated using MSF Agile 4.0. The problem is it does not exclude the groups in "Assigned To" field. We want to see only the people names rather than groups. Below is the definition of "Assigned To" field in the Task work item. <FIELD name="Assigned To" refname="System.AssignedTo" type="String"> <HELPTEXT>Assigned person</HELPTEXT> <ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true" filteritems="excludegroups"> <LISTITEM value="[Project]\Contributors" /> </ALLOWEDVALUES> &l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Get pinned version of VSS through automation

  I have a script that searches through a release branch of our software, and detects the difference from the branch to the common dev dir (diff on all files) so i get the file... try to figure out the pinned version to diff it with the one in the other directory. There the problem starts. I cant figure out the pinned version. There is a MSDN KB article, but they say that the Action of the version starts with "Pinned" or "Unpinned".. this does not fit to our situation here. Those texts never appear in the Version.Action . Can someone help VSS 6.0d (Build 31222) I ran into the same problem. Still don't know how to "fix" it but there is a ...Show All

• .NET Development Fail to load .NET 2.0 COM registered dll from Word with both .NET 1.1/2.0 installed.

  Hi, I'm having troubles convincing my Word macro that the COM component that I reference, should be loaded using .NET 2.0. I have registered the dll with regasm /tlb /codebase, which used to work fine in .NET 1.1. But now I have both .NET 1.1 and 2.0 installed and on executing the macro it's using .NET 1.1 to load the assembly, which fails. Word reports a very uninformative "Can't find file or assembly name bla" (HR 80070002). But checking with the 1.1 FUSLOGVW.exe I get a hint of what's going on: *** Assembly Binder Log Entry (18-6-2006 @ 20:21:16) *** The operation failed. Bind result: hr = 0x80131107.

• .NET Development Can't Delete Row From Table.

  Hi! I've a table in typed dataset to which if I add a row I can add it and save it as well. But when I delete a row from that table, count of rows go down by the number of rows I delete from that table. But when I try to save them nothing happens as expected it should return the number of rows updated. Before updation I'm cloning this table and storing changes in a clone and then updating the clone, merging it back to the orginal and accepting the changes. It works fine for addition but doesn't seem to work with deletion. Any idea what going wrong Sohail. What are you using to clone the table Have you checked the clone to make su ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP9 printing issue with multiple detail bands and group subtotals and/or summary totals

  I have a report with one group and a summary total. Adding a new detail band, a big new feature added by VFP9, lead to incorrect totals/subtotals.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to set a date field to null

  I have a bound text box showing a date field and I can enter a date into this no problem and save the changes. I have spent the past two days trying to find a way to allow the user to delete the date i.e. set the field back to null! I have found several articles on the net but nothing that provides an answer or explains why something that should be simple should be so hard!! DateTime is not a nullable type. If it's nullable in your db, you need to allow it to be set that way in your UI, and use DBNull.Value as what you pass into the DB if that condition exists, instead of a datetime. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Trying to learn C++ - but some things just dont make sense....

  Hi Folks, I am trying to learn C++ but some things just dont make sense. For example I am looking at a tutorial on OpenGL at http://nehe.gamedev.net/data/lessons/lesson.asp lesson=13 Now he calls a function with: glPrint("Active OpenGL Text With NeHe - %7.2f", cnt1); // Print GL Text To The Screen It passes two arguments to glPrint - the string and whatever cnt1 is. What I find weird is that glPrint doesnt actually do anything as far as I can see with cnt1 Also I find I have looked up on MSDN vsprintf which is used in the glPrint function. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vclib/html ...Show All

• Windows Forms Applying Visual Styles to form When Theme Service is not enabled.

  Hi. I am developing a winform application at my company, and there is one thing that I want to do, but have not found the answer to it. The IT people have setup the Group policy to disable the Theme Service in Windows XP, that is responsible for applying the styles that a Theme has in windows. I hate the way my application looks with square buttons and no mouseover color change. And this is my question: Is there any way to apply XP Visual Styles to controls even if the system itself has the theme service turned off Thanks in advance for your response.

• Windows Forms DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn Default Value

  Hi, I'd created a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn and add to a DataGridView dynamically, but I want to Check all the CheckBox once it's loaded by default. I tried the DataGridViewCheckBoxColumnAAA.Selected = true;  after databinding without luck. Thanks, You'll have to wait until the grid fully loads the actual rows of data. The DatabindingComplete event fires with the list change type of reset when it has fully loaded the data. Is your data in the database null and you want to show a check for null data or you just want to change all false to true (0/1)   -mark DataGridView Pro ...Show All
