• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to catch a failed request in PostRequest plugin?

  I have a WebTestRequestPlugin, and have a method that overrides the PostRequest method. The problem I encounter is that if the request fails (say the target server is down), this method is not called, but Visual Studio seems to internally handle it - thus preventing this method from recording failed results properly. Is there a way to have Visual Studio properly call the PostRequest method even if the request fails (and take advantage of APIs like "e.ResponseExists") John,    I just tried this out and was able to handle responses the way you would like.  I specified an invalid server, and checked for a response in t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Not getting Application Path of my word template application

  Hello All, There is a folder named MyFolder in my word template application. I am accessing some (my own customized) XML files from this folder. For this i tried following options : (1) dataPath = IO.Path.Combine(Globals.ThisDocument.Path, MyFolder); (2) @ ".\MyFolder\" (3) ".\\MyFolder\\" but while running the application it is taking "C:\Documents and Settings\Kausar\My Documents\" path instead of the application path. This behaviour is different on different machines. On some machine it is taking my folder path properly but on some machine it is taking "C:\ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Index was outside the bounds of the array.

  I am trying to display to role my user is in a label and it works just fine as long as a user is in a role. If the user is not in a role then I get this error message: Index was outside the bounds of the array. on this line labelRole.Text = strRoles(0) I am new to programming, but I am getting the error because the string is empty <code> Dim strRoles As String () strRoles = Roles.GetRolesForUser(UserName) If Not strRoles Is Nothing Then labelRole.Text = strRoles(0) Else labelRole.Text = "User is not in a role" End If </code>   Josh Lindenmuth wrote: Chan ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS debugging

  I've added some breakpoints to a script task. When I right click and execute the task the breakpoints are honored but there's nothing in the call stack, autos, or locals windows and I'm not able to add variables to the watch list. Is there something that I need to enable thanks Peter They are just not visible by default. After you hit the breakpoint you can go to the menu "Debug>>>Windows>>Locals" for example. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Doing a "Get" in Team Foundation Version Control

  Folks, Just looking for information on the different ways that TFVC supports doing Gets. I'm assuming it supports the usual get latest, get by label. Is there a way to specify a date range, and say "get me everything that was checked in between these two dates" What other ways can we do gets with TFVC Thanks, Brian Scarboro Get is simpler than you make it out to be. Whatever filename + versionspec you give it, it computes the equivalent filename + changeset # and downloads that file. It doesn't try to aggregate changes between points in time -- that's a lot trickier than it sounds, and ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WebException when running NETCF1.1 SP3 vs. Older version of .NETCF1.1

  Why am I getting a WebException when running .NET CF1.1 SP3 vs .NET CF1.1 I'm using JBOSS as the App server... but... I'm truly puzzled as to why this version of the framework would cause this issue. Appreciate any advise... Thanks! Connect failure. Please not I don't get this when running under plain bog standard 1.1. I've heard that this has something to do with POST HEADER SIZE being to large. Any way I can adjust this POST HEADER SIZE in .NET CF Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual C++ Advantages to Using C++.Net 2005?

  Hi: Just looking for some opinions as to the advantages of using the new C++.NET 2005 over C++.NET 2003. I have some managed code in VS 2003 and I have just loaeded VS 2005. Are there any real advantages to transfering my code to the new syntax or can I combine the two without hassles It is not a lot of code. What are your opinions on using C#. It seems like a cleaner approach to managed code Thanks Thanks. Like I said to Nish I will use C++ because I am used to it but I will give C# a chance. At first blush C# does seem a bit cleaner like Java. I can say Java without getting throwen into a black hole I hope. Personally I find ...Show All

• Visual C++ Browse Information bugs

• Visual Studio Express Editions CreateUserWizard - how to get missing field error message to show?

  Hi all, I am configuring the CreateUserWizard and although there is default text in place (such as for UserNameRequiredErrorMessage), if the user hits "create" and leaves that field empty, all the wizard does is put a red star to the right of that field. It never shows the default text ("User name is required"). I've been all over this thing and don't see a way to change this behavior. Am I missing something obvious Thanks in advance for the help Have you managed to figure this out You will need to provide more information, what tool are you using What CreateUserWizard, is it i ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2003 +IE7 Beta2 crashes...

  With IE7 Beta2 installed on my machine, the help system crashes VS2003 frequently when the internal help option is used. DocExplorer crashes sometimes when used as an external viewer. Also, some entries lose all formatting and display as black text on a white background. Is anyone else having these problems I haven't tested this with VS2005. I could uninstall the IE7 beta but I'm hoping there is some way to force DocExplorer to use a different version of the WebBrowser control. Is there such a customization Thanks, Jeremy Boschen While I have not seen any crashes, I have definitely seen all the entr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source control reports

  Hi, There are a lot of built-in reports available in Team Project. Surprisingly, none of them provides reporting for source control. For instance, I will need to see what files have been checked-in during specific day, who made the check-ins, what files are still checked out and who made it, and so on. How can I get those reports Regards, James. RobertV - Thanks for the extra posts. I tryed to use your fix in the cube but couldn't find the checkboxes you reffered to.

• Windows Forms listview autoscrolling problem in dotnet

  I have another problem with the listview: The view is set to largeicon and when I fill up the list dynamically with items it scrolls always to the last clicked item. I can drag the scrollbar down but after releasing it jumps right back to the item I clicked and puts it on top. The wierd thing is this only happens while adding items to the view. After completion it behaves normal and I can scroll up and down regardless of the item I clicked. Any Ideas Greetz Sven. Thanks for your advice- but maybe I should have added more details to make my reason for this process clearer: ...Show All
