• Visual Studio Team System Web test failing RequestFailed: The value of the date string in the header is invalid.

  All webtests I run from VS2005 RTM are failing with a response of: RequestFailed: The value of the date string in the header is invalid. The request looks like this: GET /Angel63/sidebar.asp HTTP/1.1 User-Agent : Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Accept : */* Accept-Language : en-US Host : 600m01 Cookie : ASPSESSIONIDSATDSCQA=LMGPKPGDJNEPFDPPJKBKILEP Accept-Encoding : gzip I can successfully run the same test using the beta 2 release of VS2005.  The only thing I can see that is different is that the request is slightly different.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. slow backbuffer lock

  I need to grab all my rendered pixels and pass them to a video card in order to show graphics on a tv. I can do so by locking the backbuffer and moving the pixels, but in my test it is quite slow. My framerate drops to abour 1/10th of the previous speed, and that is just too slow. Is there a faster way of moving my graphics onto my video buffer than lockbackbuffer and lockrectangle There should be faster ways, but arguably none of them are what I'd call fast . Accessing that type of data (and that quantity) over the system bus is just not optimal usage. If your hardware is on a typical AGP setup then t ...Show All

  I am receiving the following message when I try to uninstall VS 2005 Beta 2 Setup is unable to determine a valid ordering for the installation.  See the error log for further details.

• Visual Studio Team System How to install lightweight Team Foundation Client just for bug tracking purposes?

  Is there a very lightweight Win32 UI client that can be installed from VSTS Beta 2   I've seen a reference to a June 2005 CTP release that lets you install what appears to be "just the TFC client".  But with Beta 2 the Team Suite CD only has the option to "Install Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2", which sounds like a lot more than I want to install. Also, is there a web interface that lets you do more than just see the pre-canned SQL reports   I found that going to http://teamserver/reports gets me to the reports page, but I don't quite have permissions on the server to view the bugs yet, so when I click on a bug link I can't t ...Show All

• SQL Server FoxPro Image to SQL Char

  I currently am trying to synchronize a remote FoxPro database with a local SQL Server 2000 database. I am running across a memo (binary) data type in the FoxPro database. Up until today I have been using the SQL command "Convert(varchar(8000),CONVERT(varbinary(8000),frm_data))" and this is fine if the memo field isn't longer than 8000 characters. Well, today I ran across one that was 2,000 characters. My little work around so far has been to bring it into my .NET application and convert each byte into a character and then save those to a string. Is there a better way to do this using an SQL statement ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't reference contained class in XAML

  If I have a contained class, e.g.: public class MainClass { ... public class ContainedClass { ... } } I'm unable to refer to this class within XAML. As I understand it, the "name" of this class (ignoring its namespace) is MainClass+ContainedClass, but I can't use that in XAML since the '+' character is an illegal XML identifier character. This limitation prevents me from instantiating a MainClass+ContainedClass in (e.g.) a .Resources section. Any ideas Yes, XAML cannot refer to nested types. We'd recommend doing the following: 1) unnest the type and use it easily. 2) kee ...Show All

• .NET Development Re-using Model-View-Controller architecture between WinForms and Web Forms

  Hi, I want to create an architecture where the web forms and the winforms can re-use most of the code that is related to databinding (two-way). I was hoping that ObjectDataSource and BindingSource would implement the same interfaces so that my View in the Model-View-Controller pattern could just have an "IDataSource" property that the Controller could work with so update the view and get data from the view. The view classes (i.e. the web form and the win form) can then take care of the actual data binding. Has anyone been able to come up with such an architecture I am aware of the UIProcess application block, but it just seems that that's a ...Show All

  Hi, A message box saying that the "Index was outside the bounds of the array" pops up each time there is a refresh of the Team Explorer panel. Everything still seems to work fine though. Anyone knows what is going on I assume it is a problem at the Team server since all the Visual Studio working on that Team Project have the same message when doing the refresh.

• SQL Server Issue with URL Encoding report's hyperlink value.

• Visual Studio vs 2005 beta 2 setup fails

  When I try to setup vs 2005 beta 2, it says that it failed to setup visual studio itself after it gets to the end screen. The installation seems normal untill then because the vs 2005 even gets a checkmark next to it when on the install screen. The progress bar never moves when it is on vs 2005 though.
