• Windows Forms Treeview Issues

  I have an "afterSelect" event as so: private void activeMalfunctions_treeView_AfterSelect( object sender, System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs e) Within this event I have: if (activeMalfunctions_treeView.SelectedNode.IsSelected == true ) Essentially what I need is this; I need a set of buttons to become Enabled ONLY when the user selects on a node within the treeview.  The method I have used doesn't seem to care if there is a node selected or not.  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System My one-penny opinion about this edition, and of course I'd like yours

  Hello everybody, I just finished and review for Database Professionals. Very interesting features are "inherited" from Visual Studio Team System: change control and work item tracking, unit testing (very good!), refactoring, and also parallel execution of T-SQL queries. About specifing features, well, it's a nice thing have them out-of-the-box, but I think a medium-experienced developer shoudn't have difficult and write a VSTS plug-in to emulate Schema Objects management, Schema Compare, Data Compare and Data Generator using SMO. It doesn't suprise me this edition would be practically "gifted" to all Visual Studio Team Suite customers :) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Subfolder overwrite issue in Team System RTM

  Hello, We've run into a frustrating problem with the Team System RTM involving drag and drop operations in the IDE that overwrite files in subfolders. The issue is illustrated here with an animated GIF movie: http://blogs.vertigosoftware.com/teamsystem/archive/2006/03/31/Subfolder_overwrite_issue_in_Team_System_RTM.aspx James Manning confirmed this as well, so I think it's a bug in the RTM. I need to figure out a few things now: 1) Can anyone can think of a good workaround for this bug In other words, how do we overwrite existing files in the IDE with new versions 2) Is there any ETA for a hotfix on this bug How long will we have to wai ...Show All
