• Visual Studio Team System ?!

  I have just installed the Team Suite. Now, should I be able to use it without the server Under File->New, I only see 'Team Project'. Is that how it is supposed to be If that is the case, I assume I now have to install the server part too. That wouldn`t be good... Thanks Rob.

I think the problem was caused by installing Team Foundation Server before installing Team Suite. Off the topic but... Is there a good tutorial on usi ...Show All

• .NET Development XML Comments

  On the new XML comment features (which is really cool by the way) you can add remarks (comments, remarks) to your classes and methods. But how do you add this to a root namespace Because the root namespace is not visible on the Vb form. John   I was just curious because if you go to Object Browser you will see XML comments on the namespaces (which can be done if I was to declare a namespace in my form). I was just wondering if it could be done at the root namespace level, so i am guessing it cannot. Thanks, John ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System DisposeMethodsShouldCallBaseClassDispose and Windows service projects

  Hi all, I have a project that is a Windows Service. The code that's generated by the designer overrides the Dispose method of its base class. It does this in the following manner: Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose( ByVal disposing As Boolean ) If disposing Then If Not (components Is Nothing ) Then components.Dispose() End If End If MyBase .Dispose(disposing) End Sub FxCop correctly indicates that if an exception occurs in any of this code before the call to MyBase.Dispose, the base class resources won't be disposed of. Is this a problem then in the designers that generate this code Has t ...Show All

• Windows Forms controlling behavior of combo box in a datagridview

  I am using both text boxes and combo boxes in a datagridview. The combo boxes have different item lists. All is wonderful except  on the very first pull down of a combobox the selection does not stick. On all subsequent pull downs of that or any other box things work perfectly: the value "sticks", the edit is ended, and the program responds to the new value.

• Windows Forms Handling identity columns in a data bound GridDataView
