• Visual Studio Team System Code Analysis Settings

  Hello, Does anyone know if there is an easy/simple way of applying Code Analysis settings across multiple projects within a single solution   For example, I have a solution with seven projects.  I would like all seven projects to have the same code analysis settings.  However, going through each project is a little time consuming and I'm likely to miss a few settings here and there. I guess what I'm really asking is... is there a way to apply the Code Analysis settings globally for ALL solutions or for a SINGLE solution so that all projects "inherit" their initial settings from the solution   --- Thanks, Jeff ...Show All

• Visual J# Windows Media Player Full Controls

  I am looking to do a complete customization of a Windows Media Player that is integrated into a webpage but cannot locate any resources to get the complete list of properties and functions.

• Visual Basic serial port ir decoder

  I have an application that I am working based around the LIRC principle to receive infrared signals from Sony remote controls and saving them in an MS Access database also converting to Pronto CCF format. The program will also transmit the code to any learning remote control. I’m using the CTS pin of the RS232 port for the input signal and im based my hardware from an elector article, which can be found here. http://www.bairesrobotics.com.ar/elektor/01-2002%20Infrared%20Transceiver%20for%20the%20PC%20(1).pdf http://www.bairesrobotics.com.ar/elektor/02-2002%20Infrared%20Transceiver%20for%20the%20PC%20(2).pdf Storing the data into access is no ...Show All

• Windows Forms Clickonce vs. Updater Application Block

  We have a rather large ERP system in .NET that we are writing.  After considerable performance tuning, we have our main forms loading in 4 to 5 seconds on first load and and .5 seconds on second load.  Obviously we are taking a big hit on the jit compiling and began looking at the new 2.0 ngen to see if that will increase performance.  Ok, here is our problem.  After adding clickonce to our application we learn that you can not use ngen and clickonce together.  This now has us looking at the Updater Application Block.  Can anyone here give us any advise on the pro's and cons of the Updater Application Block as ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Access 2003 Printer Settings

  I'm trying to set the printer, paper size and source tray via vba code. I can set the Printer using the following code Dim p As Printer For Each p In Application.Printers If (StrComp(sPrinter, p.DeviceName, vbTextCompare) = 0) Then Application.Printer = p SetPrinter = True Exit For End If Next p Though, when I set the PaperBin to anything, no matter which printer I have, it sets it to the first tray only. Should the command "application.Printer.PaperBin = acPRBNManual" actually work I've also used the Windows API's to get the printers trays and tray ID's, but apparently Access 2003 SP1 can't set a tray ID to anythin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Common Settings for all the projects in a Solution

  Hi, I have an issue, if you could find time then can you please suggest some opinion Issue: I have a dotnet solution and under that a no. of projects are existing. I want to control project settings(like buid type, Enable/Disable Framepointer etc..) for each project from one common place (may be xml file or anything else). When ask to build solution it should read settings from that file and apply to each project and then it should build. One way is that writing perl script and change each and every project's settings before building after check-in and check-outs that is very time taking. I want to know is there any facility in vs.net by us ...Show All

• SQL Server Using source control in SSMS

  Hi, Does anyone of any tutorial type stuff that explains how to use source control within SSMS Whitepapers/webcasts etc...anything would be useful. Is there are any guidelines/best practices or anything like that Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Jamie Thanks Steven. I've started using this and am doing all the things you suggest. Traditionally we have always used SourceSafe and have always seperated our "stuff" by using a SourceSafe project for each database and then below that a sub-project for tables, another for views etc... This involved a manual process to script out all the items and add them to SourceSafe. Unfortunat ...Show All

Where are they Are they going to come back I quite liked that sample stuff! -Jamie Jamie, This sample, and possibly another one or two, were temporarily removed from CTP 15 due to insufficient resources for thorough re-testing. They are back since then and you will see them in the next CTP and at RTM.   -Doug ...Show All
