• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Release on MSDN Subscriber Downloads (Universal)

  Hello everybody, Today Visual Studio 2005 Professional was released on MSDN Subscriber Downloads. We were unable to find the Team Suite Release. Any help Best regards Ralf Rottmann If you are an MSDN Universal subscriber, you should see a Visual Studio Team Edition download. That's the one you need. You also need to install the Team Foundation Client Beta 3 that has been out for a while. However, I would lay off doing that for a while until we know the status of the "Team Foundation Beta 3 Refresh" that was supposed to be coming out at the same time as VS2005 RTM. Also see this thread for further discussi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Difference between SmartPhone and the PocketPC

  What is the difference between the smartphone and the pocketPC Adapterboy wrote: A quick question then, since there are 2 different SDKs, does that mean that a software developed for Pocket PC will not work on a Smart Phone (Assuming that we use all the controls that the Smart Phone supports) and vice versa How hard would it be to port from one platform to another a majority of the differences I've experienced are in styling/appearance, and of course user input. the code itself is pretty portable, but your implementation of the GUI may not be. ...Show All

• Visual C++ MFC Application and stdout

  If possible, what is the best way to write to standard output (or standard error) from a VS C++ MFC Windows Application I want to be able to print a a few lines of text to standard output when the application is exiting. This would be useful when the application is invoked from the DOS Command prompt and the application outputs a few lines of text that could be viewed in the command prompt window (or redirected to a text log file). As far as I know, all /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE does is initialize the CRT to use a console; it is a different code path from the kernel to your executable's entry point.&n ...Show All

You read the Cursor.Position. If you want you can use DirectInput to get the same information. However s ...Show All

• Visual C# ClipBoard is not returning desired object

  Hi guys. I created a simple object that I then implant into the ClipBoard Clipboard.SetDataObject(new MemoryData(image, Text)); Then when I am going to read it, I use this code (taken from MSDN): IDataObject data = Clipboard.GetDataObject(); if (data.GetDataPresent("SLib_Creator.MemoryData")) { MemoryData m = (MemoryData)data.GetData("SLib_Creator.MemoryData"); MessageBox.Show(m.Text); } However the 'm' is always null, it always fails and gives me the message saying the the 'm' is null...

• Visual Studio Team System Custom Checkin policy error

  Hello, I made a custom checkin policy which just asks if you are sure to checkin (its a demo), i then place it in C:\test\ and register the policy under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Checkin Policies (With its path and dll name!).

Well so far so good... But... When i try to checkin or open the source control properties i get an Error message (Policy name is " ...Show All

• Visual Studio Understanding Check Out Behavior

  VS.NET 2003 and VSS 6.0d build 31222 Occasionally if I try to simply view the designer for some of my VSS protected ASP.NET pages, I am prompted for checkout. I am not explicitly selecting checkout, however - just "View Designer" from the context sensitive menu in my project pane. When the checkout window comes up, I have options to either Check Out, or Edit, the file. I also have an alert symbol that reads "Editing items in memory without checking them out can cause loss of data". So I'll check it out, despite the fact that I do not intend to make any changes to the page. This is an annoyance than anything since ...Show All

• .NET Development Socket.EndReceive question - in which scenarios does it return 0 (zero)?

  Hi, I have an application that works just fine. I am puzzled by the following issue though - in certain scenarios, Socket.EndReceive returns 0 bytes. According to the documentation, this happens when the remote host calls Socket.Shutdown or closes the Socket in another manner. Generally, I observe this to be correct . However, there are several types of apps (remote hosts) for which this does not hold (the code is not mine so I cannot see what these apps are doing). Even though EndReceive returns 0 (zero) bytes, the remote host is still connected (Connected property of the Socket is true). Not only that, but if I call BeginReceive agai ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS, Web sites, Bin folder and the RTM version

  So, I guess we are all familiar with the problem - Web sites in VS 2005 are not well managed in VSS, causing the BIN folder to be checked-in. This existed in the versions up to BETA 2 (including), and was supposed to be fixed on the july CTP version - and so it appeared to be when I tested it. When we started using the RTM version, I ensured my programmers that the problem they had in the BETA 2 version is gone, and so it seemed - for about 3 days. We've deleted the BIN folder from the vss, and removed the "read only" from our bin files, and everything seemed ok, until for some reason, the "pending check-ins" ...Show All
