• Visual Studio Team System Question about changesets gathered for Team Build.

  I just noticed a behavior which I had hoped wasnt the case. I have a TeamProject with two branches. I have two Team Builds - one to build Branch1, the other to build Branch2. I make a change in Branch1, fill out the comments and check it in. Then make a change in Branch2, fill in the comments and check it in. Then I start the Team Build which builds Branch1. When the build happens it gathers up both changesets and associated them this build (which is supposed to be specific to Branch1, but now included changesets and comments for Branch2). Is this intended Am i doing something incorrectly Can I change some setting so that the chan ...Show All

• Visual Basic Any way to trim all these IF statements?

  Hi, I'm a VB6 hobby programmer and I'm just getting in to VB2005. I installed the VB Express ed. last night. I'm writing a simple game and have run into a coding issue. I have 15 buttons on a form. As part of the game, you click the buttons to essentially move them around. After each click, I run a subroutine to check if the user has "won" the game. In order to check for a win condition, I check to make sure each of the 15 buttons are in the right location on the form. This has caused me to have an "if statement" mess of code. The way I wrote it is like this: Private Sub CheckWin() If ESX = 114 And ESY = 139 Then   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is there any client to access Source Safe in VSTS similar to the one that we had in VSS

  Hi I wanted to know if there is any way where a person can view a source control explorer for a team project without actually opening the IDE Is there any client available which lets us view the TFVC The Team Foundation Client (found on the installation media in the TFC directory) is the stand allone version of Visual studio with only the team explorer.

• SQL Server Grouped Totals

  I have a report with grouping that shows very odd behaviour. The report is set up basically like: Group1: Sum(x);Sum(y);Percent=Sum(x)/Sum(y) Group2: Sum(x);Sum(y);Percent=Sum(x)/Sum(y) Group3: Sum(x);Sum(y);Percent=Sum(x)/Sum(y) Detail: ...,x;y,... On the Group3 level, if I use the formula ReportItems('Group3SumX').value/ReportItems('Group3SumY').value the value of the Group3SumX text box is altered! I tested this by putting the aggregate =Sum(Fields!AppCount.Value) into two different textboxes. One I referenced in the Percent calculation and the other not: both values were different.

• Visual C++ How do you define windows version for compiling? & run from VS?

  How do I say what version of Windows I want to use when I make a build Is it possible to have it work for multiple versions (98SE, 2000, ME, xp) Secondly, how do I launch an executable from within the VS IDE Thanks! Code built with VS2005 should work on all the versions of windows you mentioned unless you are using a specific Windows API (in your code) that exists in one version but not the other. As for launching an executable through the IDE, just press F5. Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All
