• Visual Studio Team System Wrong task list on checkin

  Here's a strange one for you that I find no reference to in the forums. I have multiple projects each with their own workspace let's call them Project A and Project B. If I have checked out a file for edit in Project B and then go to check it in and select the work items button to associate the check-in with a given task(s). The tasks that are being shown are from Project A not from Project B where I have checked the file out. The title of the check-in window when I select work items is (Project A/Team Queries/My Work Items). Has anyone else run across this In asnwer to my own question! It is an issue (bug or by design) in the de ...Show All

• Visual C# Validation Philosophy

  I am working with a Winform in VS 2005. I have been reading some books lately that say that using the error provider and checking it when you save or exit a form is a better, (less intrusive) way of doing validation than putting up dialog boxes. I see the wisdom to it but I wonder what should happen when you have many records in a form That is, lets say I have a winform with the Standard menu and toolbar on it that VS creates automatically, but lets also say that this form (a detail form) has many rows. With regard to validation, how should it be handled Should I wait until save or exit is selected If so, telling the user that there a ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Compiling with Shared MFC DLL support causes CoCreateInstance() to fail

  Compiling with Shared MFC DLL support under VS2005 causes the following CoCreateInstance() call to fail with E_NOMEMORY. Compiling with static MFC support eliminates this problem. We have tried things such as moving the MFC 8 DLL's to from the application-specific installation folder to \Windows on the offending device, and the error still occurs. This error only seems to occur on certain 2nd edition devices (e.g., a Dell Axim X50). It does not occur on a 1st edition device, even when the MFC 8 DLL's reside in the application-specific installation folder. We are using VS2005 to target PPC 2003 at this point.  hr = CoCreateI ...Show All

• SQL Server Whats the business value of Postbacks in Parameters??!!!

  Dear Anyone, I fail to see the business value of the postbacks that happens on report parameters. Say for example we have a report that has 12 parameters. All parameters uses 3 different data sets to set their respective contents. 3 of those parameters are cascading parameters. It is understandable to have post backs that would involve those 3 parameters. But instead, all of the data sets in the report parameters section refreshes themselves by invoking their data sets to requery the data from the daabase server. This translates to several round trips depending on how may times the user has invoked the cascading parameters. Business ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ? How do you add items to the "Area" list ?

  When you create a bug (using the "Agile Development" template), in the classification group there is a drop-down list item called "Area". The only thing in the list is the name of the root project. How do you add other things to this list Is it through editing "Development Project Plan.mpp" or "Test Development Plan" with Microsoft Project If so, is there any way to add items without using Microsoft Project Thanks for any help! [EDIT] Nevermind - I found the "Team Project Settings|Areas and Iterations" dialog. In the team explorer, right-click on the Team Project in question and choose "areas and i ...Show All

  I need to know when someone changes items from Tasks, Contacts, Appointments. (I want to implement Synchronization Logic) Can this be done with Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook API Please advice. as far as i know not ... one possible way to achieve this is to use a database listener - unfortunately this requires some C/C++ knowledge as this only works with embedded VC++. the function CeOpenDatabaseEx2 takes a CENOTIFYREQUEST structure as last parameter which can be used to setup a change listener to any database on a windows mobile computer. if you setup such a listener for the "Contacs ...Show All

• SQL Server getting data from Sharepoint lists

  Hi, I'm trying to get data from WSS lists by web services. I think there are two ways: - using SSIS standard components (Web Service Task) and - creating a custom source adapter. My problem with the Web Service Task is, that the WSS method GetListItems has some non-standard parameters (see part from wsdl-file below). Thus, after selecting the method in the editor an clicking on "Ok", I get the error message "The selected Web method contains unsupported arguments". I think the problem is the missing type-attribute. <s:element name="GetListItems"> <s:complexType> <s:sequence& ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to control order of transformation steps?

  Hi all, Is it possible to get some more details about how to cascade templates I'm curious about the approach briefly mentioned in this post by Alan Cameron Wills. On a somewhat related note, I'm also interested in how to apply a two-step transformation; the first step uses the template to read the model and transforms it into a logical representation of the target artifact (for example, based on xml), the second transformation converts the logical representation to the final output: In other words: upon "transform all", we should have: template reads model template creates xml xslt reads generated xml xslt generates final artif ...Show All
