• Visual Studio Team System How to customize ManualTest.mht for our organization

  We need to customize the ManualTest.mht file to our standard test case format. I found the thread about modifying the file in ItemTemplatesCache or ItemTemplates, but this did not do anything. Anyway, if this had worked, it would have only applied to my local machine and not for the entire organization. So, how does one modify ManualTest.mht and add it to team system on the server so that when testers create new manual tests, they will get the modified template without having to update their local machines Thanks, Steve Hi Steve We do not support the scenario that you are looking for, where VSTS would try to grab the templa ...Show All

• Visual C# richtextbox not keeping font when form is minimized

  I have a form with a richtextbox in it. I have a thread that is running seperate from the main thread. This thread invokes a method in the main thread, sending it a string and a color. This method takes the string, changes the selection font color to the color that was passed in and appends the string to the text box. Here is the code: delegate void printToTextBox(String data, Color color); private void setText(String data, Color color) { richTextBoxLogs.SelectionColor = color; richTextBoxLogs.SelectionFont = new Font(richTextBoxLogs.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold); richTextBoxLogs.AppendText(data); } private void myThread() { //C ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. render to menual allocated buffer ??

  It may be my crazy thought, but am I able to let DirectX render images to the system buffer i created I do not know if you can, but I can tell you why it could be bad. Getting data from the card to the system memory is slow (i learned) and on most scenes you will have a fair amount of overdraw, unless you manually sort the objects and only render faces which are the closest in a particular direction. If you for example have on average four overdraws for every pixel in the display, then you will transfer four times the visible data to system memory. If you let the card render locally and do its overdrawing there, then you can ...Show All

I would like to be able to make all of the buttons on a form the same colour, without having to manually change the background in each button's properties box. I realise I could copy and paste the buttons. I have tried a search for format painter and read throughmany pages of these threads. Cheers, Phil Format painter makes perfect sense. You would copy all attributes from the source control along with their attribute names as the keys. Then when painting on a new control, you use refle ...Show All

• Windows Forms Binding Comboboxes to custom lists

  I am running .NET Framework 2.0 B2 I am missing something when it comes to implementing databinding in custom classes. I have a view class that acts as my main data source. The view class basically just loads up the data and returns via properties and BindingLists of NameValuePairs (which is just a replacement for KeyValuePair so that databinding will work) The view class also maintains current properties that tell me what the current selected id is for my state, city and street. However when I run the form the databinding seems to get behind. If I choose a new state, the cities refresh, but the text in the state box stays the same. Then whe ...Show All

  Hi! Is anybody aware of any drawbacks when using shared (static) members inside classes. Apart from design issues and braking some of OOP rules, are there any performance issues, like bad memory usage or increased overhead when calling them ps 1.
