• Visual Studio How to debug with VS on Compute Cluster Systems.

  How do you get past the job scheduler on the (new) compute clusters I've been trying to debug an application which is launched on CCS, but can't get the debugger to cooperate. I've seen the parallel debugger white papers but these concentrate on MS MPI. What if my app isn't an mpi app (Which BTW, I can get MSMPI apps to launch w/ the debugger just fine.) I've also extended the job time and checked the box to not stop the job. Still no lu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Remote Access Question - Web Server on different Server than TFS

  Hi, Is it possible to install Team Foundation Server all on one box, and then have a publically facing web server on another box to accept remote access requests to TFS We don't want to put all TFS applications on a publically facing box, but do want to enable remote access as we don't have a VPN. We are currently using the VSS 2005 internet plugin which required us putting our source on the publically facing web server, which is not ideal. ...Show All

  SQL server 2005 express I installed this software and the seperate management tool and really liked its interface compared to SQL server 2000 developer.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) fast bitmap image processing

  Hi, We have an app that updates the pixel contents of its bitmaps (all bgra) and displays the results as fast as display update allows. Currently speed is dependant upon updating only the "changed" portion of the bitmap where possible. Now, the documentation is, for obvious reasons a little sketchy at this point but from what I can understand in WPF once a bitmapimage has been created from a unsafe memory block (using the sta ...Show All

The assumed situation is having an enterprise project with > 20 developers, internal and external, who built the application, and a completely different team of developers maintaining the system later on. Also, the assumption is that none of the developers who originally created the sys ...Show All

• Visual Basic Programming Challenge since u re great guy

  For this challenge, you'll need to write an algorithm to find your way from one corner of a field to another as fast as possible. You will be given a starting point and an ending point, and you'll need to tell us how long it will take you to get from start to finish. The field is a grid, and you can only move up, down, left and right. Each move of one grid square takes 1 second. Unfortunately, there's also walls in the way.....the rest is her ...Show All

(e.g. File/SourceControl menu, SourceControl tab in File/Open/WebSite dialog,etc) If you'll look in the "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\VS SCC" folder for the Express SKUs yo ...Show All
