• Visual Studio Team System Logon with the object model in RC

  In beta 3 I used a NetworkCreditials object to create a conenction to a TFS server.   NetworkCredential objNetworkCredential = new NetworkCredential (strUserName, strUserPassword, strDomain); TeamFoundationServer objTFS = TeamFoundationServerFactory .GetServer(strVstsURL, objNetworkCredential); But in the RC version the factory uses a Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.ICredentialsProvider in the GetServer method. In Client applications I can used the UICredentialsProvider, but what about Server applications Is the only way to logon to a TFS server in server application to use the current users credentials &n ...Show All

• Smart Device Development WZCSetInterface under XP: setting the 8021.x authentication

  Our application runs both on PDAs and tablet PCs. It uses a wireless connection to connect to the network and that sometimes needs to be set to a different SSID. On the Windows Mobile platform this is no problem, because we can use the WZC functions which are quite well documented ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wceddk5/html/wce50grfAutomaticConfigurationsFunctions.asp frame=true ). Now, the same functions should work as well under Windows XP on the tablet, but it seems a bit more tricky. Because when we add a new SSID manually through the WZC UI it will by default enable 802.1x authentication. To set the WLAN adapter to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error editing report definitions in Report Builder

  I have been configuring a Team System install and playing around with the features and so far everything is working fine, however when I go to the report builder: Right-clicking on the project 'report' folder. Select 'Show Report Site...' Select 'Report Builder' from the button menu I cannot add a new report (it does nothing, no error) and I cannot edit an existing report (I get this error 'Server data sources do not match RDL') which i believe has something to do with the Report Definition Xml. Has anyone experienced this or know how I can resolve this Have I missed some part of the configuration to get this working ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions LPCWSTR doesn't work with reg commands

  I am making some functions that use regcreatekeyex, regsetvalueex, ect. So I made them and tested them by making a command prompt program and had no problems. Then I tried using the in the form designer and the compiler keeps telling me it can't convert my parameters that are strings into LPCWSTR. So I add the (LPCWSTR) in front of the parameter to convert it. Well my project compiles but recreatekeyex and stuff never succeed. How can I fix this To be able to answer this one properly, we need to know what you are doing. So could you post the code that uses the RegCreateKeyEx function. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Troubleshooting name mangling issues

  Has a name decoration spec been published for VC2005 I have an undefined external __imp_ _S_next_size@ $_Stl_prime@_N@priv@std@@SGII@Z which nearly matches __imp_ _S_next_size@ $_Stl_prime@_N@priv@std@@SAII@Z in an import lib. Presumably a major compiler or linker option is out of sync, but without a definition of SGII vs. SAII it's a guessing game. Thanks for any help, Gary Personally I prefer to use extern "C" for exports since C doesn't use name mangling. Compiler inspecific and much simpler. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Regeneration of the private accessor drops project references in the test project.

  Hi, All. May be this is a well-known situation, but I did not find any helpfull information. I have a work project (custom MSBuild task) and trying to use unit testing (TDD). Any time when I'm regenerating private accessors for my main (task) project, test project losts reference on it. Is it possible to fix such behaviour WBR /Sergey aka Grey Ghost When you say you are losing 'it', I believe you mean the reference to the main project from inside the test project. This is a bug in VS where occasionally when a 'project' reference is added, it gets lost if you try to re-add it. What you can do to work ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why do I get OutOfMemoryException?

  Why do I get OutOfMemoryException running the following code m_lst = gcnew System::Collections::Generic::List<array<double>^>; for(int i=0; i<10; i++) { m_lst->Add( gcnew array<double>(512*512*100) ); } (Create a WinForm app and insert this code at the end of InitializeComponents) I got the exception when i=5.

  Hi all, I get a: Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.NotAvailableException from the following line of code: device = new Device (0, DeviceType .Hardware, this , CreateFlags .SoftwareVertexProcessing, presentParams); I guessing that its because the HW video is saying it isn't available or is not compatible with DX9 Am i doing something fundamentally wrong or is this the case Cheers very much for your time Felix You can't use a feature in hardware that's not available on your graphics card.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Serialization Problem

  Hi to all, I have been using beta 2 bits for a couple of days and trying to upgrade my project with the new stuff. I've change a lot of things ( as you guys did in beta 2 :), but one problem still cannot be solved. I'm using the workflow designer control to change workflow definition. I have also a state machine workflow. If I load the workflow from file (xoml) no problem. But if I want to get a workflow definition from running workflow the serialize it and pass it to the workflow designer control I cannot edit the workflow. After debugging it seems that serializing state machine workflow it only serialize the root activity. Stefan, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Workspace is already mapped problem

  I just installed TFS (beta 2) and I get the following error message when opening a solution from source control using VS 2005 beta 2 : The path 'd:\temp\xxx' is already mapped in workspace PCMRE\Disney\JMP. PCMRE is the workstation having this problem, Disney is the domain where TFS is installed and JMP is my own user account. The guy using this workstation has the MRE account. Due to security misconfigurations on the TFS server (my fault), MRE could not use TFS, so we used my user account on this machine to test TFS. Now that the TFS server is configured well, MRE can use TFS but something's wrong with the workspace configuration. Getting ...Show All

• Windows Forms Menu keyboard shortcut works sometimes

  My main menu is build with ToolStripMenuItems.  I enable and disable keyboard shortcuts with: m_miHideSelected->ShortcutKeys = Keys::Control | Keys::H; m_miHideSelected->ShortcutKeys = Keys::None; This example is a sub menu eg 'Display' -> 'Hide Selected'. I find that this shortcut often does not work, dispite the correct code to enable it being executed.  I have verified the code path by logging. If I click on the parent menu, the short cut will work always, after that point.  The application may have been running for a long time, with other menus used, but this shortcut may not work until the parent menu i ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista FileWatcher Activity - Event Time

  Hi, When file watcher detects the creation of a file, at what point in the creation is the event raised. We want to use the filewatcher to trigger a move from the triggering directory to another directory. However, if the file is being copied from another source to the triggereing directory, will the event be raised as soon as the file directory entry is created or will it be raised when the file is completely copied ... this is important particularly if the files are large and take a long time to get completely created. If it is not on completion, what is the best way to test for completion Regards R. ...Show All
