• Visual Studio Macro, DTE Events for file moved

  In Macros, is it possible to get an event when a file is moved from one project folder to another For example, I have the class1.cs file in my project main folder, I create a new folder in my project and move the class1.cs file thru the IDE in that new folder. I tried the ProjectItems (added/renamed/removed) events and about any other events in the EnvDTE namespace, but haven't found any that detects this. Using VS2005 of course. Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Registering progress of a workitem

  Hi group I know I can register the progress of a workitem (task) on the details tab in TeamExplorer in VS2005. As far as I can see I can register the completed work and remaining work. Say, i have a task that initially is set to 20 hours. When I register for my first day working on the task, say 5 hours, I would set completed work to 5 and remaining work to 15. Is this correct The second day working on the task, say 7 hours, I would set completed work to 12 and remaining work to 8. I have several questions regading this scenario: 1) Is it possible to set only the work done on the particular day and have completed and ...Show All

• Visual J# Any possibility of supporting newer JDK features?

  I like J#, and find it a great development environment, and the language support is pretty good. But the JDK is ancient...  It drives me nuts, every time I go to use a standard Java class, I find out that the methods I'm used to using aren't implemented, or the whole class doesn't exist.  This is true for everything from basic classes (like BigInteger and Date) all the way through to complex stuff (the security & Crypto stuff is really lame). Now that Sun and Microsoft are supposedly making nice, would it be possible to update the class libraries to be a bit more complient with modern JDKs Or is J# really a dead-end, just here ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Performance issues - Direct 3D Mobile

  Over the last couple of days I've been looking at Direct 3D Mobile but I must say that I am a bit disappointed on the performance. I've been running some of the samples located on msdn2.microsoft.com and the frame rate is real low. When running the Fixed Point Math Lightning example (having removed both walls AND the animated mesh) I get a framerate at about 0.32 both in the emulator and on the real device. I get about the same framerate when I run the sample on the PPC WM5 Emu. Does anyone know if it's supposed to be this way Is it a bug in the framework A bad setting in the device If I run a project which ONLY clears t ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it possible to use variables to specify assembly reference paths?

  I'm in a position where I can't add a particular project to my solution and use a project reference, but I would like to use an assembly reference that refers to the debug version of the assmembly when building the Debug configuration, and the release version of the assembly when... you get the idea. This sort of thing is trivial if you are explicitly invoking csc, and is easy with the C++ complier/IDE with the use of macros such as $(ConfigurationName). The closest I've been able to come with the C# IDE is to use a hack and manually copy all of the assemblys I want to reference in an explicit prebuild step. Unfortunately, that's not a maint ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there a way to customize Test Case Forms just like work Item forms?

  Hi there,       Can Test Case forms be customized just like Work Item Forms in Test explorer Thanks, Anu If you want to start authoring tests -- just start writing the code, but use mock objects or place holder implementations. You can then swap over to the "live" code when it exists -- this could be considered a form of Test Driven Development. If you mean to be able to merely describe, plan and author the test cases without actually writing code, then you can create workitems to assign to your testers. You, if you so choose, createa a Work Item type that allowed the tester to specify all their test cases in a ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS tasks execution order problem

  Hi, I'm facing a problem with my SSIS package regarding the execution order of tasks. I am using my package for the purpose of loading data from XML to staging tables in the database, and have a loop to process all XML files. As a precondition to the loading action itself, I am running a stored procedure against the database (using the ExecuteSQL task) to check whether all staging tables are empty. The output parameter of that stored procedure is mapped to a variable I have defined in the SSIS package, so I can use it as a basis for the decision whether to run the loading action or not. In order to test my package I added a script t ...Show All
