Also I wanted to know something.

Well thanks Mates ;) I would get a good book on C++: my favorites are "Accelerated C++" and "The C++ Primer". If you write plain ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Failing a test step

  I have a load test which contains various web tests along with many remote servers which perform tasks based on the responses received.  The webtest performs several actions which use validation rules to check the pages are displayed correctly etc. However data contained in one of the response is passed to a custom TCP connection and transmitted to a waiting server to process. The server then does some 'stuff' with the response and sends back a pass fail status. Ideally if a fail is received I would like to mark the previous web request also as failed. Or at minimum mark the current itteration  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to test Smart Client Windows Forms using VS 2005 Tester

Hi Jobby - Could you give me more information with the kind of compiler error you are seeing here   One reason you would get an error with the code you have here is the uppercase "If" statement.  Try using a lowercase if. if (number < 80) {     // do stuff }   Thanks!

• Visual Studio Test-driven dev of add-ins

  Hi I'm currently writing an add-in for vs2005 for a couple of reasons: 1) to take care of some of the common tasks I do inside the ide 2) to learn about the new extensibility/automation model I'm trying to do The Right Thing and TDD everything, but I'm starting to get really bogged down in mocking everything within the FileCodeModel structure because none of it is instantiatable. In the process of mocking CodeClass, CodeNamespace etc, I'm having to make assumptions on the actual behaviour of the implementation of those interfaces - but this is the information I really want to be deriving from my tests. It has occurred to me that I'm testing ...Show All

• Visual Basic Debugger is extremely slow

  Has anyone else experiance really slow debugging in VB.Net Beta 2 Yesterday was the first time I used it to step through code line by line and I was shocked. It's a simple project with one form using a datagridview and it was horrible. We are talking a 3 - 5 second delay every time I hit the F10 key to step over...

• SQL Server Suggest Column Types

   Is there a parameter/ registry setting I could use to change "Number of rows" in "Suggest Column Types". Number of rows to scan is defaulted to 100. I believe the maximum rows you can set to 1000. If you try to set anything more than 1000, system will change from what ever you set it back to 1000. I came across this problem during testing. I was wondering anyone else came across this and how they resolved it! Thanks Sutha I have raised a suggestion for this. And also to have it allow for just strings to be suggested, to allow for data not be converted when it doesn't need to be http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/P ...Show All
