• Visual Studio Text Objects and dynamic font properties?

  In my application, I have a panel where the user can set things like font and size of the text in the report. This works fine for all database fields and formula fields, where I just create a condition formula on each property. However, for some odd reason, you cannot  create condition formulas for these thing on simple Text Objects. The only way around it that I have found is to create all text objects as unbound fields and enter their text as a formula, but it seems like a very odd way of doing things. Is there a simpler way Hello, Unfortunately in .NET there isn't an easier way to accomplish this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Run SQL statements from .sql file

  I know, the title is not good enough, but... Anyway, here's what I want to do: 1. I have an add-in exposed as menus under the tool menu. 2. Eventually I'll have a *.sql file with some sql statements (however this file will not be in a database project). 3.

• Visual Studio Team System How to make tests run directly from build output directory (instead of a copy) ?

  Hi, I've recently started using the testing tools available in Whidbey. Having used tools like JUnit and NUnit in the past, I have to say, test integration within the IDE is pretty nice. However, I'm not sure I like how everything is copied to a separate directory in VSEqtDeploymentRoot each time a test run is kicked off, because I am actually trying to test my VsPackages, and those make use of a number of hardcoded paths in the registry. Is there some way to have the tests run directly from the output directory, which is where all the hardcoded paths point to The only other option I see is to modify the registry keys to point to some consta ...Show All
