• Visual C# classes best practices

  Hey guys, I am still new at this and was wondering what the best practices for creating and handling classes were. Is it better to build my classes inside one major C# file or do I need to create an individual file for each individual class or is it just better to have my classes embedded in the particular form I am working on Which is the best approach and best practice for classes Thanks, ~zero In my opinion it does not really m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error loading Event Web Services

  We are getting this at the very end of the TF Server Beta 3 install.  From reading various posts, it seems that you have to name the special account TFSSETUP exactly that "TFSSETUP" even though the docs indicate that you can pick an arbitrary name.  Can someone from the TF team confirm that this is indeed a bug   We will most likely have different TF servers running in different divisions and I can see problems if everyone ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop 1.35 and VS 2005

  Hi all, I've got a couple of custom rule libraries here that I need support usage with both FxCop and VS 2005. I understand that I need to compile my rules against the specific FxCop assemblies for each of the two (FxCop assemblies for FxCop GUI, and VS\FxCop to VS 2005 IDE). What's the best way to do that Having to remove and add references so to compile my libraries seems like a big hassle to me (along with having to maintain separate ve ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to use Refactor.Rename in an Addin?

  Is there any way to use the Refactor.Rename functionality in an Addin or Macro   I can't find anything in the DTE model, and I can't seem to find any parameters documented to use it in an DTE.ExecuteCommand("Refactor.Rename").  The command IS in Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard commands.  Using the global Find/Replace or the TextSelection find and replace just won't cut it. I'm using VS 2005. Sean ...Show All

• Smart Device Development .net CF v1.0 Development in VS2005

  Reading the required SDKS for developing in certain platforms, this page ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms135100 ) states that VS2005 can compile for the compact framework 1.0 and 2.0. I know Smartphone 2003 has v1.0, I know vs2005 can develope for that, and that that application (written for the smartphone 2003) can likewise be executed on my Pocket PC 2002 device (with the CF 1.0 sp3 installed), but is there a way to ...Show All

• Windows Forms WinForms Application that disappears

  Hi, I'm developping a MDI application, after few hours of running it disappears with no exception thrown nor any kind of message. Any idea No, it cannot be an Application.Exit() call each MDIChild form in application consumes an activeX control. This control can fire several events per second (about 200), at the event handler method of these a Form.BeginInvoke call is needed (InvokeRequired is true). I don't know what happens when th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using resources in a static library

  Is it OK to use a dialog resource in a static library I've never had the need to do this and now when I try to add a CDialog class from the dialog context menu (Add Class...) I get the following error. Failed to return new Code Element. Possibly syntax error. New Element Name: <afxwin.h> I figured this might have something to do with the fact that my project is a static library. I'm using VS 2005. No res ...Show All

• Visual Studio ReportViewer Drillthrough Problems

  Using VS 2005 B2 and C#. I'm attempting to create a UserControl that includes the ReportViewer.  The UserControl is in a dll. From what I can tell, if you use a dll, the viewer can't find the embedded report resource.  I've overcome this by loading the report resource manually. My problem is that I can't seem to configure a drillthrough to another report embedded in the same dll project.  (I've tried the report name ("Report. ...Show All
