• Smart Device Development My Device Emulator stopped working.

  Hi! My Device Emulator stopped working suddenly (Maybe because I installed ActiveSync 3.8 then reinstalled 4.1 and I installed a VPC, but I removed it then). I'm using VS.NET 2005, and when I try to connect to any of the emulators, the connecting dialog shows up, but then nothing happens. In "Windows CE Remote Process Viewer" the "Failed to get connection object. Check your bootstrap/transport settings" error shows up, wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Manual test in Excel template?

  Would it be possible to have an Excel template instead of a Word template If so, what would to be edited to make this possible Our current plan for VS 2005 does not support manual test as Excel documents.

• .NET Development Beginner: Q on using XSL to convert from XML to XML

  My first time dealing with XML/XSLT I have to take a XML file(that is HUGE), and convert it into another XML format (the purpose being to get rid of most of the unwanted information and retaining just the ones our program needs) I was told that I can do this easily using XSL.

  Hiya! I'd very much like to take advantage of .NET's way of automatically persisting application settings, checked radio buttons in this particular case, through the "(ApplicationSettings)" property. Thing is, after I've assigned a setting to the "Checked" property of a radio button and run the app, I have to click twice on the radio button for it to get checked. Wtf If one button is checked and I click on another, the che ...Show All
