• Visual Studio Team System Question about binding and executing once per record in the data source

  Hi, all. I have a question about how binding to a database works in web tests. I have a set of SQL Server tables that I use to bind my web tests to a data source. If I set my web test to execute once per record in the data source and I bind my web test to several tables, will it execute once per number of records in the first table or will it actually execute once per combination of each record. Here's an example. Let's say, my web test has two steps: Step1 and Step2. Step1 has some post parameters bound to fields in Table1. Step2 has some post parameters bound to fields in Table2. If both tables (Table1 and Table2) have two rows each, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Any way to print a rich text content (like htm stored in database)?

  Hi Rajeev, what I am trying to do is put into  a database something like a html page (with no external file like images of course) and render it on a report. This works well with gridview thanks to the property "htmlencode" set to false in the right cell. But when I print the same field in local printing with a rdlc file, no way to render rich text for printer. It's Html encoded. Have you any idea It's so limiting to render only plain text... Thanks a lot Hi Guys, Is a feature like this STILL not available I want to just put a text box control onto my page like I can in Crystal reports, a ...Show All

• Visual C# Signing an assembly with a key container

  The AssemblyKeyName attribute I've been using to sign my assemblies with a key from a container is now deprecated in VS 2005 (I'm using the Standard released version). I get this warning message: AssemblyInfo.cs(59,12): warning CS1699: Use command line option '/keycontainer' or appropriate project settings instead of 'AssemblyKeyName' But as far as I can tell, there's no way to specify a key container in the project settings, only a key file. I also can't find a way to specify command line options to the compiler. I can do both for managed C++ projects, but not for C#. The only workarounds I've found are (1) use a key file instead of a key c ...Show All

• Visual Studio extending c# editor

  Hi, I want to make a vs package for am AOP tool. Wat I'm interested in is in displaying in a tool window what aspects apply to the file it's being edited. I would like it to be something like the "class view" in visual studio but displaying something else. I don't know how to connect the editor with the toolbox, to catch events as editing or saving. I don't want to make a custom editor, because it's intended tu use with the c# editor, maybe extending this editor   Thanks, Diego DTE is a service provider, so you will QS for SID_DTE with an interface of IID_DTE2, then call the E ...Show All

• Visual C++ failed assertions leave code running behind the message box?

  Is there a way to get other threads and timer callbacks to halt while the assertion message box is on the screen We don't want the program state to change between when the assertion happens and when we click Retry to break the debugger. You haven't specified whether you've created threads with a Win32 API or in .NET. If it's Win32, then you might want to create your own assertion macro that wraps the normal assert plus call a function of your own called SuspendAllThreads(). Assuming you've kept a list of thread handles, you can call the Win32 API SuspendThread on each of them. See http://msdn.microsoft.co ...Show All

• SQL Server Cannot shut down VS after using report designer

  Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS.
