• Software Development for Windows Vista Delay/Persistence/MaxThreads

  Hello, I'm having a delay activity setted to 1 minute and the persistence service when it gets idle write the instance and download it from memory.

• Visual Studio Getting versions of files with a specific label

  I am trying to get an older version of project based on a specific label. The command line I used is vss get -v <LABEL> $/<project> but it does not seem to be getting the correct versions.

The syntax for ss get -v was not clear in the online help pages. The version of VSS we are using is VSS Version 6.0c (Build 9447).

• Visual Studio Long running reports hanging

  Hello, I have a report that hangs whenever I specify filter criteria that makes the stored procedure take a long time to run. When I run the report, the page goes blank and stays that way until I eventually get a "Page cannot be displayed error". If I filter more specifically, the report returns properly. The stored procedure can take about 10 minutes to run and returns about 100,000 rows. I could probably re-write the stored procedure so that it runs more efficiently, but I would still like to know why the report is not returning. Here is my configuration: Crystal Reports 11 .Net Server (service pack 2) Windows S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Manual Test Authoring through Microsoft Office Infopath 2003

  If I wanted to use a Microsoft Office Infopath form instead of a Word or Excel document to author my manual test cases, what would be the best way to implement that I'm assuming that I would probably have to create a custom test type of some kind. Should I try to launch Infopath as an editor or something when the test is edited, or would it be easier to use the object model since there is already support for creating tests in Word and Excel formats Just looking for opinions at this point. Rob Ok, I think I have that working now...at least in the Experimental Hive. What do I need to do to deploy it Jus ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Unable to bind to Dependency property from within a DataTemplate?

• Visual Studio Team System Max 260 characters in path + projectfolder-hierarchi + programname?

  I have just had a strange error saying that there is a limit to the total length of the source control path + project internal path + program name that may not exceed 260 characters. That is obvously too little if you want a minimum of structure in both your team foundation server structure and your projects and you want to stict to describing names for your files. How to I change this setting regards Jens Chr You can't. It's a hard limit in the DB schema. You can't use >260char paths in the Windows shell anyway, so it wouldn't be much help. (Yes, there's the \\ \ syntax, but that's not practical for daily use.) Are you ...Show All

  With WebBrowserShortcutsEnabled = false I can prevent the user from doing Alt - Left Arrow to go back, but they can still use the Backspace key. How can I grab the backspace keypress in a webbrowser control and cancel it Thanks Hi, To do that all you need is to create a cache of previouse URLs and cancel navigation to them in the naviagating event like that: Private backURLs As New Collections.ArrayList Private Sub WebBrowser1_Navigating( ByVal sender As System.Object, _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs) _ Handles WebBrowser1.Navigating I ...Show All

• Visual C++ Visual Studio 2005 Compilation problem

  Hi, we have some compilation problems with VS2005. It seems that sometimes it doesn't recompile some files ( when we have h files with template or anything else ) and we have to perform a full rebuild to make it work. Sometimes it's worst, because it outputs it recompiles the related cpp but no change is made ! Does anyone encountered a problem like this one Thanks in advance, We will need to reproduce the issue to figure out what might be happening.

• Visual Basic Console textbox

  What is the best way to make a textbox behave like a console (command prompt) I have a System.IO.StringWriter that gets text appended to it. I can display the output of this in a textbox but the string grows bigger and bigger (i don't care about old stuff just a couple screens of the recent stuff) and anytime the textbox changes it is scrolled to the top, not at the bottom where the new text is located. This is what I have now but it's terrible: Private Sub ConsoleRefreshTimer_Tick( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ConsoleRefreshTimer.Tick If ab.ToString.Length > 6000 Then 'i ...Show All
