• Visual Studio Team System How can I force a rebuild?

  I'm wondering if there is some setting to force Visual Studio to rebuild before re-running a test, and then to use the latest built DLL. If I'm working on a small problem that is exposed by a failing test, I make a small code change and then right click my test in Test View and select Run. This used to (in Beta 2) cause a (re)build and the test would run the latest built DLL. As it is, I have to manually press Ctrl+Shift+B to build my projects, then run the test from Test View. When you run a test in this way it takes a few seconds to build. Why does it build if it isn't going to use what it just built And why does manually initiating ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. drawing a colored, transformed quad not working as expected

  So I just switched over to Managed DirectX For .Net 2.0, and since I can no longer draw an array of verticies, I've been playing with Generic.GraphicsBuffer(Of CustomVertex.TransformedColored). It gave me this odd shape with only 4 verticies specified: Screen Shot. The white is not part of my app, the quad should have been at location 100,100 with size 100,100... which looks right.  Any ideas on why the one face is reaching up to 0,0 It looks like your 2 triangles are being drawn correctly, but an additional one is being drawn as well.  I'd check your draw call to make sure you're only dra ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO 2005, .NET 2.0 Custom Smart Tags

  Hi, I am working on a project to create a custom smart tag and make it accessible to all Excel documents. I have created a class library and implemented the ISmartTagAction, ISmartTagAction2, ISmartTagRecognizer, and ISmartTagRecognizer2 interfaces. I have no problem deploying the class library by making the necessary registry entries and using the .NET version 1.1 of CASPOL to set the security policy for the dll. When I try to deploy the solution using version 2.0 of CASPOL, the Excel application does not recognize the dll as a valid smart tag. I have downloaded the Office update to fix the problem with the Otkloadr.dll ( http ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder - is this a bug or is it by design?

  After playing with report builder for some time I have stumbled upon a most annoying restriction in Report Builder: it does not allow including data from entities which are related to each other via a third entity in the following way: [table_A] many-to-one [table_B] one-to-many [table_C]. So if I want to show fields from both [table_A] and [table_C] Report Builder does not allow me to do so (unless I use an aggregate function on the fields in [table_C]). Here is an example of the actual schema: [Claims] many-to-one [Firm] many-to-one [Policy] or in other words a firm can have many policies associated with it as well as many claims. S ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Ghost projects

  2 weeks ago I had some problems creating projects from a remote location. The problem never really got solved but I can live with that for now. The problem is that the few times that I tried creating a project, the process halted with an error saying that it might not have been able to roll back all changes. Now my question is. The projects that I created doens't show up in the Team explorer but Source Control has entries for the projects and I'm not able to remove them. Likewise if I look in security settings new users was created for the projects. As with the Source control project I'm not able to delete them as well. Does anyone hav ...Show All

• Visual Studio Documenter

  I would like to construct a documenter for vs 2005. As I asked in another post MSFT didnt put this functionality in vs 2005. Where should I start     You have two different paths you can take. You could create a tool that runs when build has completed, or you could build a tool that works like a project inside of VS. If you just want to hook into build, then you could create an Add-in to do it, and it would be a lot easier. If you want to create a project based help creation tool, then you will need the VSIP SDK and create a project system. BTW, the latest versions of the VSIP SDK now contains Innovasys HelpStudio Lite ...Show All
