• Visual Studio Team System TestContext.AddResultFile

  Hi, What is the intent of TextContext.AddResultFile() do The help file just lists out the method at this point. I thought it would let me override the result file location, but that wasn't the case. Is this a result file that I can add and then populate with additional log information by calling TestContext.WriteLine Thanks. Lets say my test generates 3 files. I add them to the TestContext and the test fails for some reason. Now I want to see the contents of those 3 files, but there is no list, and no link to these files anywhere within the test-details page, nor anywhere else in the VS-UI. It would ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions TreeView question #2

  Hi Is there any way to get a TreeView which is being populated with Files to read the appropriate file icons for each of the files I do have a useful program (Audacity) which can rip icons from files, but I suspect that would be a rather long and laborious procedure. Is there any inbuilt function or method to do this kind of thing Even just the system file icons would do most of the job for me. It is a bit boring when I just have one folder icon and one file icon to display in the TreeView. ReneeC Sometimes the best surprises come in small boxes! From within your KnowledgeNavigator, I found a topic labelled 'Extract ...Show All

• SQL Server Decrypting Password of SysxLogins Table - SQL Database.

  Hi,     Is there any way of decrypting password value stored in sysxlogins table of SQL database Thx in Adv     This is a SQL Server 2000 table that is no longer available in SQL Server 2005. The password value normally contains a SHA1 hash of the password (unless the password is for a login created in a previous version and maintained through upgrade to SQL Server 2000). If the value is NULL and the login is a SQL login, it means that the password is empty. Otherwise, to determine the password, you would have to do a brute force attack on the hash. If the password is weak, a brute force attack will ...Show All

• Visual Studio Generate many files from one template?

  I have a DSL now taking shape, including generating code that executes properly, and I must say I am pleased with how quickly it has come together. Now I have a secondary goal to fill: producing static documentation from the diagram. I'd like to produce a set of HTML files (one for each instance of the primary classes in the DSL). I don't see how I can do that with the current structure, which allows me to generate exactly one file from each template. Do I need to create a new DirectiveProcessor or TextTransformation class Can you offer any pointers on how to create many files from one template Thanks, Brian. ...Show All

• Visual C# Define Name in Excel through C# code

  Hello,       I have a code to import Excel Sheet into an .NET application through OLEDB connectivity provided if my excel sheet is defined as a table with a name by going through Insert-->Define-->Name. But I want to automate this option through code by simply selecting the excel sheet and it  would define the range and then import the data. Has any one ever done this before       The reason I want this to be automatted is, we have hundreds of excel sheets to import and it is really hard for an end user to define the name and then import them.

• Visual C# C# Needs a Property keyword like MC++ has now

  I've said this before, even directly to Anders, and I'll say it again: C# needs a simpler way to declare properties. Don't believe me Check out this video of a John Lam talk about the future of programming languages that espouses dynamic programming langauges like Ruby: http://www.ftponline.com/channels/net/reports/vsliveto/2006/multimedia/lam.aspx About 1/5 of the way into the presentation he gives this example of a piece of code everybody has to write and should be sick of doing by now: private string _data; public string Data { get { return _data; } set { _data = value; } } He's right. There isn't a good reason to have ...Show All

• .NET Development Erroneously empty DataReader

  A method that has successfully returned a Datareader for many queries has started returning a DataReader with no rows. No error is generated as a true DataReader object is present, just empty (I can force an error by submitting an incorrect SQLquery).  The same query run in Access works. It makes no difference whether I submit the query as SQL or call a stored procedure in Access with the same SQL. If I reduce the query to a simple SELECT (e.g. SELECT * FROM db_ac_ip) the datareader is filled correctly. Adding WHERE or GROUP BY clauses results (wrongly) in the empty DataReader. Using a Dataset in place of a DataReader also results in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions GetPixel from a WebBrowser control?

  Hello, once again Microsoft. I need help with my WebBrowser control. You see, I would like to be able to grab a specific pixel from it. I've tried to declare the GetPixel lib (GDI32) as I did in Visual Basic 6, which I got pretty used to. That didn't work, so now I need some swifty code to do it. Maybe capture the WebBrowser to an image an use the .GetPixel property I just don't know. Please tell me what you know, and help me!  - Mathy     I don't think so. My guess is that you have the API call wrong.
