• Visual Studio Team System Get Custom Check-in Policy in the Add List

  Hello, I have a custom check-in policy that requires that the comment is filled in.  I added the assembly to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Checkin Policies registry key.  The key is the assembly name, the value is the full path to the assembly. But the policy does not show up in the list   How can you get your custom check-in policies to show up in the list For reference, I used the folllowing post for guidance.  I derived from PolicyBase to create the custom code policy class. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=139563&SiteID=1   Thanks!

• Visual Studio Team System Testing generics

  Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place - please let me know where would be more appropriate. I am still trying to come to terms with the way the unit testing in VS2005 Beta 2 works - it's a slghtly tortuous process, but that probably says more about me than anything! I am stuck with generics. I have a class as follows: public class Example {     public Example() {       mList = new System.Collections.Generic. List < Example >();    }     public System.Collections.Generic. List < Example > mList;     public System. ...Show All

• SQL Server Date problem

  Hi, I enter a date in my parameter in the browser like '30/01/2001'. When I press on 'view report' then I get an error. 'An error occurred during local report processing. The value provided for the report parameter 'datum' is not valid for its type. I think he sees the '30' as a month, so it gives an error. BUT in my SQL-statement i write this : CONVERT(DateTime, @datum, 103). What's the problem Thx We do validation on parameter values. If you specify the type of this parameter is datetime, it needs to be valid datetime value based on the current culture. You can try changing the parameter type to b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 2005 Express and game programming

  Is VB 2005 a capable language for use in game programming I'm a complete novice at programming at this time, and would eventually like to try to program some simple games for foreign language review and acquisition, and maybe even some 2D or 3D action games. Would the action games be beyond what VB 2005 could easily handle I've heard that most game developers learn C++ or C# instead of VB, but isn't VB a capable language for game development as well Would appreciate any comments or opinions on this. Thanks in advance. David F. Yea VB .NET is as capable as C# on doing game development with .NET, I ...Show All

• SQL Server Financial Accounting Cube

  Hi, I'm designing a cube for analyzing financial data from an accounting application. Basically, the facts table looks like: (idAccount, idTime, nValue) that shows every financial operation for any account, and it's very easy to build a cube for analysing the accounting movements. But there is another important measure, that's the balance of every account in any time. A tipical report would be, for a whole year, the sum of movements of any account and the balance at the end of the period. I think adding a new column to the facts table like: (idAccount, idTime, nValue, nBalance) wouldn't work, because any account ha ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WorkflowCompleted event fires twice.

  Tom, When I use your ASP.NET XOML only State Workflow example, the WorkflowCompleted event executes twice (WWF Beta 2.2). Why does that happen Sincerely, John Portnov It will fire the number of times that you have run the sample. To resolve that problem you need to remove the handler before redirecting to the OrderCompleted page, something like the following: void WorkflowRuntime_WorkflowCompleted( object sender, WorkflowCompletedEventArgs e) { if (e.WorkflowInstance.InstanceId.ToString().Equals(lblWorkflowInstanceId.Text)) { (sender as WorkflowRuntime ).WorkflowCompleted -= new EventHan ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Two backbuffers

  If i have a device with two backbuffers, then which buffers is rendered into As I understand it, but am unsure about, buffer1 is rendered into. A call to Present will copy from buffer0 to frontbuffer and from buffer1 to buffer0. If the present method is copy, then the front buffer is copied into buffer1. Else it might be discarded. Is this correct Does two backbuffers demand two calls to Present before displaying the first frame Will graphics always be rendered into backbuffer 1 and always be copied from backbuffer1 to backbuffer0, and from backbuffer0 to frontbuffer You can’t have more than one ba ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) FrameworkElement.Parent is null for Pages shown in Frame

  I have been creating an application where a Frame is hosted in a Window, and then Pages are navigate to in the Frame. The problem was that inheritable DependencyProperties set on the Parent Window weren't being inherited by Pages shown in the Frame; and when I looked at Page.Parent property that was null. Is this behaviour by design, or is it a bug I have got around this for now by hosting my pages in a a NavigationWindow. ...Show All
