• Visual Studio Team System Unit Test Wizard doesn't let me select certain projects.

  When adding a new unit test to my test project, the Unit Test Wizard jumps back to the "Add New Test" dialog when I select certain projects.  If I try to click either the '+' sign for the tree structure of the project or try to click on the project's CheckBox, the dialog returns to "Add New Test".  Is this because test units cannot be auto-generated for this project, and if so why do I not see some form of message dialog --Edit-- I also attempted to create a test unit directly from the class that is to be tested.  I received the error: "The source code cannot be sufficiently parsed for Code Generation.  Please ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO & MS Access

  I'm just trying to get up to speed on the new Visual Studio 2005 and the new Tools for Office.  We do a lot of work with MS Access (and Excel) and what I find odd is that in all the articles I've read there is not mention of MS Access w.r.t. the VSTO.  Do the VSTO not work with MS Access   What am I supposed to use if I am doing development with Access 2003 Can someone please clarify how VSTO works with MS Access   We've already been burned by buying Visual Studio 2003 "Special Edition".  It includes the Office Tools that I believe work with Excel and Word.  Too bad we bought the upgrade to work with Access 200 ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 2.0 Error Reporting, Can it be disabled?

  I'm not looking for a system setting, I'm not looking for workarounds... I want a way to disable it on an application basis, programmtically, in code, the way it should be. To require all developers to workaround, write perfect code (who does this anymore anyways ), or make huge try...catch blocks is ludicrous. The fact that we got by just fine with .NET 1.x and the way that all exceptions were handled, and without it calling for a WER. I know that some Microsoft personel read this, and I refuse to believe (or at least won't take it nicely) that there's no VIABLE fix. I can't request of my clients to _not_ click the send error repor ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server <-> Terminal Server

  Hi, Is it possible to setup terminal server on the box running SQL Server 2005 already. And vice versa I have windows server 2003 standard edition. Thanks Peter, I found this article that states as following: "SQL Server 2005 is not supported on Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server". It sounds suspicious for me and misleading... Does "not supported" mean "will not run" Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Basic DataAdapter & query

  kind of a 2 part question: I need to query on 3 parameters: i.e. Name AND <X AND >Y at one Table in the DataAdapter. In using the DataAdapter.SelectCommand approach I find that one can pass only 1 parameter. So I simply put 3 separate commands - - and this seems to work (when there is a match) though I haven't rigorously checked it. so part 1 - is this approach ok In this DB there can only result in 1 match or no match. part 2 where I'm stuck is that finding no match is a good thing for the user - but I get a ServerError message of Not non-Zero index....... I was hoping that by having a bound textbox/label to one fi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System workitem sub folders

  Is there any means by which to add additional folders under the workitem folder and/or team queries such as to have queries specific to a given area divided out into their own folder.   I suspect I can do this via wtiexport and wtiimport Is this true     I'd recommend posting the question to the "Visual Studio Team Foundation" forum. If you already have done so and not get a reply, let me know and i will make sure it gets answered. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=22&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Single or Double for vector floats?

  as i'm new to this. i was wondering if your only allowed single floats for vectors etc in directx. most of the code i've seen only has single float values. as i wanted to use the following unit scale 1.000 = 1 meter, 0.100 = 10cm, 0.001 = 1mm. with a max value of 99999.999 i think i'll need double floats for using this. so would i get away with this Since all of the overloads and functions take singles you only have one choice to pass into there, but you can do all your intermediate cacluations in doubles and only round at the last minute.
