• Visual Studio Team System Field name issue after B3R to RC upgrade

  When I upgraded the server from B3R to RC, I met following error: found field name in custom methodlogies that will clash with new CMMI methodlogy. So I renamed the field name of "Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Severity" from "Severity" to "Exposure". After upgrade, I wanted to import customized work item "bug.xml" to one project. In this xml, the field "Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Severity" has the name "Severity". Then error TF26177 happened: the field "Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Severity" can not be renamed from "Exposure" to "Severity". I am a little confused. In ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition

  Is Visual Source Safe 2005 included in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition I haven't been able to find information on this anywhere.  We are worried that we may have to purchase Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition and also purchase Visual Source Safe 2005.  Previously, we only had to purchase Visual Studio .NET 2003 Enterprise Architect which included Visual Source Safe 6. Any information will help. Thanks.     Thanks.  That page is what made me look into this further. So it looks like we either have to purchase MSDN Premium or Visual Sourse Safe 20 ...Show All

  While researching no touch deployment, one of the documented features was the ability to work offline.  Since dlls are cached on the client, if that library is not available online, the app should fall-back on the cached version.

• Windows Forms OpenFileDialog Working directory?

  In my VB2005 programs, I like to have an "Last Used Folder" setting so the next time the program is used, the OpenFileDialog boxes will show the last folder used. I can do everything but figure out how to get the Folder Path out of the OpenFileDialog once the user has selected a file. I have pulled it out of the "Filename" member in which I would have to write code to manually remove the filename from the string. Is there an easier way to do this     One way to do it is to have a single OpenFileDialog object during all your application's lifetime (make it a field in your MainForm c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System mstest with custom test type and metadata(vsmdi) file?

  I'm trying to use mstest.exe to run a test from the commandline. The test was created as a custom test type that I have created via the extensibility SDK. I've done a lot of investigation and here's the results: 1) inside VS I can run the custom test fine. 2) I can run the custom test fine using the /testcontainer: option of mstest.exe. 3) I can run a generic test using the same vsmdi file with mstest.exe. 4) trying to run the custom test type with the vsmdi fails with an "Test <foo> cannot be found" error. I ran scenarios 3 and 4 (only difference being generic test vs. my custom test) under cordbg. Here's t ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView issue

  Hi folks. I need help, how to work with data via DataGridView in VB 2005. In VB 6.0 I used a Data and DBGrid component, where DBGrid was bound to Data control and Data control was bound to database (ODBC or Access). When I edit, add or delete data in DBGrid, it was automatically saved to the database. Also when I bound e.g. TextBox to Data control, changes in TextBox were automaticaly updated in database. In VB2005 I created a dataset, bound to access database (.mdb). I added a DataGridView control to a form and bound it to Table1DataBindingSource. When I run this application, all the data from database.mdb - Table1 are showed in Da ...Show All
