• Windows Forms Marquee progress bar not working in VS 2005

  Howdy all, In VS 2005 I put a progress bar on a form.  I set the style to Marquee, but can't figure out how to make it run.  The progress bar is always blank.  I want it to just scroll continuously because the time it takes for the background operation cannot be determined.  I'm running Windows XP Pro w/ SP2 and .NET 2.0 (I already read the thread about the Marquee style not working in Windows 2000, that's not the problem he ...Show All

• Visual Studio FPSE Version Number question

  All: Having recently installed W2K3Server SP1 (32-bit), I've have noticed that our FrontPage Extended Webs now report that they are running version 5.0.2.6738.

Now, this tells me that my 32-bit version of Windows Server 2003 SP1 is runnin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project creation problem

  OK I'm probably being dense here. Installation is a single server with reporting services, sharepoint, SQL all running. I can get to the relevant pages. The client can see the server and ping it over the network. Both are in a W2K3 domain and the DC is running SP1 as is the VSTF Server. tfssetup and tfsservice are both local admins and domain admins so should have all the necessary permissions. I'm logged in using the tfssetup account (tried als ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Debugging a test doesn't recognize changed code

  I'm wondering if anybody else is seeing this behavior.  I have a test project consisting of 50+ unit tests for a class I wrote contained in a separate project in the same solution (for now).  If I run my tests and one fails I normally end up selecting the option to rerun the failed tests with debug so I can step through the test and ultimately through the underlying class code.  Here is how I normally work: 1) Run all tests 2) Pi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions reconstructing variables into memeory

  Greetings, I finally have figured out how to send 8 bit chars over my serial port. Thanks to all who helped. Next battle: I am communicating with an 8bit microcontroller. My compiler for the microcontroller allows me to generate integers larger than 8 bits. ie 16, 32, float ect. Lets say I have a 16bit variable in the microcontroller. It resides in two adjacent 8bit memory locations. I can send this variable out of the microcontroller over ...Show All

• SQL Server Real Time ROLAP different then ROLAP

  What is the benefit of setting the proactive cache to Real Time ROLAP. Wouldn't this be the same as ROLAP. Confused on why there is such an option. Books online doesn't seem to answer it clearly. Proactive caching adds the ability to automatically detect changes in source data and update Analysis Services objects appropriately. In the case of Real-Time ROLAP (which was also an option in AS 2000), ...Show All

• Visual Studio How can I catch "Add a breakpoint" event?

  My add-in need to do something with the breakpoints, but I can not get the event when a user add a breakpoint to the program, both in design mode and running mode. any suggestion is welcome! Unfortunately there's no event that will tell you when a breakpoint has been added. However, it may be a workable solution for you to create a handler for OnEnterBreak and/or OnEnterRun mode. At this point you can enumerate through all the breakpoin ...Show All
