• Visual Studio Team System vsmdi relationship to TestCase/TestMethods

  I am trying to determine how an entry inside the vsmdi file relates to a test case method. Each test case item in a test list appears to have a unique Guid and the relative path to the assembly that the test case belongs in. However it does not list the test class that the test case belongs to. This information is visible when viewed from the test manager, but does to appear to be stored on the filesystem. Does anyone know how this relationship is maintained Yep, thats' it cracked. To summarise what is required, here's a bit of C#: SHA1Managed crypto = new SHA1Managed (); byte [] bytes = ne ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Install Issues - "a disk read error occurred"

  When the Vista install reboots the machine I get the following error. a disk read error occurred. I have tried several different drives and still get the same result. Any ideas I'm going to assume that you have figured this out, since this post was on 9/28, but for everyone else... I had this same problem one time when installing WinXP This problem for me occured when i was using a 200gb hd. i had the first 20 gb dedicated for windows home (which was already installed), and i wanted to play with pro, so i dedicated the next 20 gb to xp pro, and the rest for file storage.

• Windows Forms DataGrid new row event

  Hi! Is it possible to "catch" a new row event in a data grid  A user enters some data, and then adds a new row to enter some more data. I want to "catch" that event. Is that possible My problem is that I only show two columns in the datagrid (that is, I have two column styles connected to the table style of the data grid) out of five which are in the data table to which the grid is bound to. So, when the user enters those two values, I have to enter some default values for the other three columns - I want to do that through the code. My idea is to catch the new row event (if that exists) and do the adding values then. May ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Scaling StrokeThickness problem

  In a previous thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=211255&SiteID=1 I was asking about the problem of the StrokeThickness scaling for engineering drawings, etc. I have tried several workarounds and all require each child of the canvas to have its StrokeThickness value altered to 1/Zoomfactor. This takes too long for the number of elements in a drawing leading to noticable delays when, for example, changing the zoom with the mouse wheel. Does anyone know if MS is going to have a modifier to disable scaling or e.g. a StrokeThickness of 0 to force a one pixel stroke, or similar Does anyone know of a ...Show All
