• Visual Studio Team System TF30272: Template not found on the server

  Hi guys! A former colleague of mine used the 'Process Template Editor' for altering Bug.xml & Task.xml, and uploaded this to one of our team projects. Some days later, when we where about to create a new team project, the following exception occured: 2006-06-14 13:04:50Z | Module: Engine | Task "VersionControlTask" from Group "VersionControl" completed with success | Completion time: 3,421875 seconds 2006-06-14 13:04:50Z | Module: Engine | Thread: 10 | Running Task "" from Group "" 2006-06-14 13:04:50Z | Module: Engine | Thread: 10 | Running Task "SharePointPortal" from Group " ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX Application deployment

  Hi There, I am working on a Direct3D application with C# 2005 Beta. It runs fine within and outside the 2005 IDE on my computer, but It won't run on somebody else's comp. (I can deploy non-directX applications though) The other person has the same version of DirectX (9.0c), and the .Net framework (2.0 Beta) as I do. On the other computer, the program crashes right away and it says " myProg has encountered an error and needs to close... " Is it enough to just copy and launch the "myprog.exe" file Do i need to forward the 3 DirectX DLL files that my program references. If so, is it OK to just copy them next to the exe file, ...Show All

• Windows Forms MDAC Prerequisite

  I've installed C# Express Edition 2005 to build a demo in c# using clickonce deployment. This demo connects to a database, so I need MDAC 2.8+ installed. I am reading everywhere that MDAC should be in the prerequisite list in the deployment screen but it's not there. I only have .NET Framework 2.0, Windows Installer 3.1 and SQL Server Express Edition 2005. I guess Crystal Report is not there because I don't have the Professional Edition but what about MDAC Thanks for your help. MDAC was included with the non Express SKU's, such as Standard and Professional, and Team Suite. We have plans to put these on MSD ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to scroll a TreeView when dragging

  I figured out how to scroll a treeview control vertically when dragging an item but I can't figure out how to make it scroll horizontal. In my treeview control when the mouse hovers over a node while dragging, the node automatically expands. The problem is, when the text in the node is wider than the control, the scrollbars show up but they don't scroll - it would be great if it would scroll horizontally when the mouse is moved to left or right side of the control any ideas thanks amit Hi I have a TreeView that scrolls downwards fine when I drag an item down but steadfastly refuses to scroll up when I try ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Bug report: Debugging Flag not always set

  Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 When I test my application and it does not run properly, oftentimes Shift-F5, which should end the debugging session, does not work. The menu then shows that the debugging flag is not set and no option 'stop debugging' is available. I can solve this by pressing 'debug' from the menu first, after which the option 'stop debugging' becomes available - provided that I can access the menu. If my application hangs instead of producing a runtime error, I can't, and if it doesn't have a close handle I have to resort to CtrAltDel. Regards,   Guido Guido - ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Setting the Version Information in the exe file

  I am currently using the express edition of Visual C++ 2005. Is there any way of setting the version number, description, company, etc. that appear in the Version tab of the properties dialog of the exe There doesn't appear to be a resource editor in the express edition. Is there an alternative or would I need to upgrade to the full Visual Studio to do this Mog0 Yes,That is the correct way. I did it but was not getting the group name. I found the following sol.

• Visual Basic VB6 > .Net Conversion Error: Character Device names?

  Hi At my wits end... I am experiencing a problem when trying to convert a rather large VB6 application into a .Net 2005 application. Everytime I try to convert the project I get the following error: "Upgrade Failed: Exception occurred: Can't use character device names in file names" The weird thing is i have tried to convert the project using .Net 2003 and I do not get the error, it does convert. Can someone point me in the right direction... Many thanks Brad Look for a file in your VB6 project that has a name like the old DOS device names (CON, COMx, LPTx, KBD, NUL, AUX, PRN). R ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sharing classes between solution projects

  I have created a VB.NET project (Project1) in a solution and I would like to share some of its classes with a new project (Project2) I am adding to that solution. If I right click on the target project, Project2, and add existing items, and then use 'link file', I am able to add a link to the desired class files residing in Project1. However when building the solution I find that I get errors because Project1 refers to the classes with "Imports Project1.MyClass", and Project2 when reading the linked file does not understand what Project1 is. I want to keep the code for each project encapsulated in one exe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Bug fix request

  Hi; There is one bug I hope gets fixed in Office 12. (Fixing it in a service pack for Office 9 - 11 would be really nice too.) Sometimes the menus I add to Word stop calling my event handlers. A very easy way to see this happen is open two instances of Word, close the first instance of Word, then close the document (but not Word itself) of the second instance. The menu objects will now fault if you access the enabled property and they will no longer call the event handlers for the menus. thanks - dave Hi; I'm not disagreeing with you. I was already doing what you suggested . I just want to make sure MS fixes it so there are no exception ...Show All

• Visual Basic AsyncCallback in a different thread?

  Is there a way to handle an AsyncCallBack procedure/delegate in a specific thread Here is why I am asking: I am using the Sockets.BeginConnect function and specifying a callback procedure but when I try to do anything (like writing to a text box on my form) in the callback procedure I am getting warnings that I think are telling me I have threading issues. I think what it is trying to tell me is that the AsyncCallback procedure is not executing under the thread of my form but is executing in the thread that was created to handle the BeginConnect function. Do I have this right so far If so, how can I do anything meaningfull with my form o ...Show All

• SQL Server Get "Do you want to save this file?" when trying to launch Report Builder

  This may be a simple setup issue on my XP client, but whenever I click "Report Builder" I get a "Do you want to save this file " dialog box and nothing happens. I believe Reporting Services is installed correctly on my Win Server 2003 because when I click "Report Builder" on the server itself it does the proper click-once stuff (checks to see if the app is there and downloads it if isn't) and launched Report Builder.  Also, all other Reporting Services functions are working fine on both the server and XP clients - its just launching "Report Builder" on the client that is wierd. So is there anything special I ha ...Show All
