• Visual Studio Team System TFS Workgroup

  I have received an update to our MSDN subscription (Disc 3073 December 2005) that claims to have the Developer version of VS 2005 Team Edition along with TFS Workgroup Edition. I popped in the disc and went through the install (Full) and what was installed appears to be the VS2005 product. This indeed seems to have the Team Edition for Developer tools but I am unable to find and install the TFS Workgroup Edition bits to get the task lists, sourc ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Instrument and Native CPP

  Greetings: I am running into a problem that profile fails to instrument my native cpp projects. The nature of the project is that there are many 3rd party libs. I noticed sometimes we received some error prompts like "link all the lib with /profile" or so. Does this mean we need to rebuild all the libs with /profile link switch Jerry, Since those are libs you will have to have them complied ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to save a part of dialogbox (for example Rect(10,10,40,40) ) in to a Image?

  Hi. I want to save a part of dialogbox (for example Rect(10,10,40,40) ) in to a Image. what should I do thank for your help.

• .NET Development Database engine not keepig up

  I am doing a "copy" operation in my application and I've noticed a strange behavior that I hope someone can help out with. I am using Access to store my data (and the associated OLEDB data provider). I'm noticing that I right after I insert a record I cannot locate that record again to properly use it another piece of logic. If I set breakpoints, it is enough of a delay that the engine "catches up", so it only happens when ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Scaling arrays

  I would like to know if there is a more rapid way to multiply an array with a number in Visual Basic than the one presented below. I haven't found much on vectors in the help and seems that the only possible way would be to use the matrix class.   e.g.  {1,3,4}*2 = {2,6,8} I know this way to do that looping through the array: Dim a() As Integer = {1, 2, 3, 4} Dim b As Integer = 2 Dim c As I ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to create a DropDownList/ContextMenu style window?

  I need a popup window(no border) to input some text. But it should be something like the drop down list of a combobox which doesn't make the owner form inactive. Making it a child window does that but it will be clipped by the owner form, while drop down list won't be clipped. I've tried changing the CreateParams to use different set of flags, but not successful. And I've been googling the whole afternoon... I saw someone says not to make ...Show All
