• Visual Studio Express Editions Manually move VC++ 2k5 Express installation files

  Good evening... Admiittedly I'm being somewhat anal, but I'd like to move a few of the directories around that VC++ 2005 Express created when I installed it. Generally, I'd like to split the IDE & Help files from the library and compiler. I previously installed the VC2k3 Toolkit in my C:\Cpp\VCToolkit2003 directory.  So I wanted to move the bin, lib, and include sub directories of the VC directory that VC++2k5 Express installed in C:\P ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabControl / TabPages and control events when edit via PropertyGrid

  Hi, I'm writing an app that has a limited designer mechanism... I ran into a small problem.  When you add TabPages to a TabControl via the property grid, the ControlAdded / ControlRemoved events fire many times.  This is a problem for me because I have an event-based Undo / Redo system, and I'm recording extra events.  I understand why the events are firing extra times:  so that the TabControl can repaint while the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System UIApp Revisited

  Back to the UIApp hidden field. Apparently, the real issue is that it needs to be grabbed in real time. A user fills out a form and submits it to create a new application. After submission, UIApp is created by the server, supplied with a value and is sent client-side with the next web page. That page is created client-side referencing UIApp. So far during web testing, I have to supply a static value into the test for the first appearance o ...Show All

  The only machine I've got available to install TFS is a machine that already has a SQL Server 2000 instance. I installed SQL Server 2005 CTP (as instance SQL2005Beta), but TFS doesn't want to install because it says that Analysis Services and Reporting Services are disabled or missing.
