• Visual Studio Team System Source control for non.NET environment

  We have several COBOL programmers that store their source code in a home-grown source control system. Their filenames are a max of 8 characters; no file extensions are recognized, and it's not COBOL.NET so many of the features in TFS would be wasted on this code. Still, I'm trying to integrate their code with TFS so we have a company-wide source code control system Here's how I integrated their source code: 1. I created a .NET project ...Show All

• .NET Development Connection to Sybase

  Hi, I'm having problems creating a connection string to connect to a Sybase db. I have tried both of these methods...

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. colorvalue in progressive mesh sample

  Hi, new to DirectX in C#, not in C++. In the August 2005 DirectX sdk update, there is a sample in C# called "Progressive Mesh".  When I compile this sample, I get 36 errors, all of which are type or namespace missing errors.  Here's an example.  'ColorValue', which is supposed to be of the Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D namespace simple does not appear to be there.  MSDN says it's part of the namespace, auto-complete does not.&nb ...Show All

• Visual Basic Unterminating strings returned from DPAPI decryption

  I've just copied an implementation of the DPAPI based on MSDN article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/SecNetHT07.asp However, when I run DataProtector.Decrypt, the byte array comes back with an extra byte with the value of 0 (the null memory value). For example, if I encrypt a connection string (96 characters): User Id=testid;Password=passwd;Data Source=dbase;Connection Timeout=30;validat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions You are not alone

  I would like to install .net beta 2. However I had previously installed beta 1, and worse, vbexpress beta 1. Then I must have really messed up and uninstalled those products in the wrong order. So now I cannot install beta 2.  I found and ran the Beta 2 Cleanup Tool, and it successfully cleaned MSDN for me. I had already hand-cleaned the registry as best I could.  However, the tool errors out when trying to clean vbexpress - the error ...Show All

• Windows Forms Webbrowser Control Memory Management Question

  I have a C# application that uses the webbrowser control. I've noticed that as I load more web pages through the webbrowser control my program continues to consume more and more memory. (It starts at 9MB and quickly climbs to 40MB by simply loading web pages.) My question is really two part: Q1: What is the reason for this compounding memory comsumption Web cache, memory leak, ... Q2: Is there some sort of garbage collection I should be ma ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Two different ID's seems to see the same set of workspaces

  I have 2 different ID's (one is my TFS admin account, say id1, another is my regular user ID, say id2). For some reasons, I got the following: (1) Under id2, all the workspaces show up in vs.net are those in id1. Why (2) Under id2, when I try to add a new workspace, the "add workspace" panel defaults the owner to id1, but the account I currently log in is id2. What happens (3) I override the owner with id2 in the "add wor ...Show All

  I saw that you could get around the absens of the C++ typedef feature by using: namespace NameSpaceCS {   using Handle = System. Int64 ; or using Handle = System. Int64 ;   namespace NameSpace CS {   But this is only visible in one file. How do you make it visible in other projects. I have added the reference and the  using NameSpace CS ; in my other project but it still seems to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Help about incrementation and iteration

  I don't understand if once i have all the use cases i should split them and in each iteration i add more use cases, or i should consider all the use cases on each iteration. The msf talks about versionning but i can`t clearly see how to make this versionning. Versionning means splitting the use cases There are a few strategies - hence your confusion. The goal is to deliver value incrementally. As such, you typically first address the ...Show All
