• Visual Studio Team System How to exclude a Folder from a Webproject

  Hi We are testing here TFS SP3, and have the following question. We have a website project, that uses TFS as source-control. When adding some files to the folder of the webpage, TFS automaticly adds it to the TFS Soruce control. But when doing checking, it always wants also to checking these files, but I don't want to checking that, as this is just test-data created on the local environment. What do I have to do Thanks Patrick You can correct the TeamBuild issue by overriding AfterGet target to add an exec task and remove read-only attribute on these files, something like the following in TfsBuild.pr ...Show All

• Visual C++ New to VC++. How to link object files from one project to another

  Background: * using Visual C++ express * with Platform SDK Have compiled a solution with two projects. 1. The DLL library project 2. The test suite for said library The DLL builds fine. The test suite needs the object files that were used in the build of the DLL. I can't use just the DLL, because some of the test files test non-exported functions. I do not want to specify them manually because the name and number of these files could change. I thought that the correct way to do this was to select "Link Library Dependencies" and/or "Use Library Dependency Inputs", but all four combinations o ...Show All

• Visual Basic Second time I run a process I can't capture output, even though process runs

  I am trying to run an external program via a process. I need to start the process several times and capture the output each time. However, VB.NET will only capture the output of the first run even though the process does actually run the second time. The process is started by the button handler Button1_click() which calls the process initialization function InitComp() then runFemtoI2C() which starts the process. I am capturing the output asynchronously with the event handler ProcessOutputHandler() I distilled my program to the code below for clarity. Myproc_exited() just posts a message to the textbox so I know when the process is done. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to evalute a workflow parameter in a rule based condition?

  Using the PDC bits, I'm trying to assign a rule based condition to an IfElse branch. The rule  wants to references a workflow parameter initialized by the host application when the workflow is started. For instance the host initializes a parameter called Name with the value "Test". The IfElse branch1 condition's rule is trying to evaluate a predicate like Name == "Test". What do I need to do to specify in the rule that Name is a workflow parameter Name cannot be a constant value, and I don't seem to be able to access the workflow parameters using the scoped members.

  I am looking for material on designing a graphics engine. The main purpose of the engine will be tech demo development and function as  shader playground. To start with I have some ideas about decoupling materials and shaders. I would like to have the flexibility that an object can have multiple materials. One part could be a diffuse surface with phong illumination, another part of the same object could be a bump mapped rusty surface with cook-torrance illumination etc. If anyone could point me to some good sources to investigate or have some thought please share.     Thanks ...Show All
