• Visual Studio Team System Feature request: Class name filters

  It would be very useful if we could create regexp-based filters that would tell whether a particular class should be analyzed. Here's an example: I don't want FxCop to analyze third-party code that is a part of my assembly (PowerCollections), nor do I want to analyze auto-generated xml serializers code that also resides in that assembly. If only I could set up couple of filters like "skip classes whose full name starts with "Wintellect.PowerCollection" and "skip classes whose full name ends with "Serializer"... Andrew, We have discussed this quite extensively before internall ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista custom activities property values

  If I have a custom activity with a public property that is set during the execution of the activity, how can I access the value of this property after the activity has completed Anyone I have actually looked into tracking already and right now I am using the default tracking service and default profile. So what I can gather from your response is that using user track points is a better way from the WF architecture to record these kinds of things As for the other option, the host would probably just end up writing the data to a database anyway, which tracking is already doing. thanx again -- ...Show All

• .NET Development remoting problem - client hosted in IIS

  Hi! I have really big problem with remoting. I wrote remoting server which runs on XP Pro machine and client which is hosted in IIS (a part of Web Services tier) under Win 2003 Server. Everything works fine when remoting server runs on the same machine where IIS exists, but when is starded on XP box I can't connect to it from IIS client.

Because authentication and authorization is a key, I decided to use knowledge from '.NET Remoting Authentication and Authorization Sample' articles (ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQT ...Show All

• Windows Forms Component/Control différences

  I don't really understand the difference between a component and a control, as it seems that both can be used to create a user control, for example. Can somebody explain that to me Thanks Emphyrio If you want to create an object that the user can interact with, then you need to create a control, if you want provide custom behaviour to a form that doesn't necessarily have a user interface, then use a component. To create a ComboBox with images, you wouldn't go and create a new control, you would derive from the existing ComboBox class and override functionality to provide custom drawing. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP9 Multiple Detail Bands and Page Overflow

  I have a complex report that has one parent table and 5 child tables. All children have multiple records for each parent. In testing I found two problems for which I have found no reported bugs/work arounds: 1) If a detail band (say band 4) is at the end of the page, and there is not enough room for band 5, it will push band 5 to the next page, but only one record will print. Just one record. Records 2- never print. I can adjust the page footer height and start detail set on new page when to 3", same result. If there is enough room on the page for at least one record for band 5, it will print that one record at the b ...Show All
