• Visual Studio Team System Work Items, Documents, and Reports folders show RED X's in Team Explorer -- WHY?

  I can connect to my Team Foundation Server just fine from Team Explorer, but the Work Items, Documents, Reports, and --intermittently -- the Version Control folders under my Team Project all have RED X's in the corner of them and are inaccessible.  The tooltip and toolbar buttons seem to suggest that it is "refreshing" (for example, the "Stop Refresh" toolbar button lights up), but the unknown activity rarely completes, and when it does, the RED X's remain. I read another post suggesting that it may be a permissions issue, but it happens even when I'm logged on as Administrator, so I'm discounting that theory. Am I doing something ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Custom stack pointer

  Hello, I'm trying to port an application that implements its own thread scheduling. It calls malloc to allocate a block of memory then it changes sp to point to the end of the block. The Pocket PC 2003 emulator stops on the instruction that changes the sp register. A message box is displayed "No symbols loaded for any stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed" then the program stops. Is it a restriction of the OS or the debugger Can any pointer be used as a stack pointer under Windows CE  Thanks for your help. It's for a sort of virtual machine. Actually I'm only using the v ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding files to a project during compile

  I have a prebuild action that occurs in my project that generates a class. this class needs to be added to the project for compile. This only occurs have the project has been reloaded. Is there a way to add the files to my build without going through three steps - compile, reload project, compile Thanks let's assume I wanted to do something similar, but in a project sub-type (within a package). What is the best way to accomplish this I can latch onto the same event, however I'd prefer to filter my handling of the event only for events triggered by projects of my specific sub-type. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Package 'Visual Studio Source Control Integration Package' failed to load

  When I build our source code using DevEnv I get an error message saying "Package 'Visual Studio Source Control Integration Package' failed to load" in the log file. I am just test-building a copy of our source code with VS2005 so no source control should be involved. How can I get rid of this message When I build the very same solutions interactively I do not get any messages concerning source control. Dan, Thanks for the response, however, this is a new install of VS 2005. This hasn't been a real problem for me since the project actually builds in spite of the error messages. I'm just not real sure wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB app memory usage

  I noticed that my VBE apps were consuming a lot of memory so I wrote a test app that consists of nothing more than a form with a single button. When I run the compiled .exe file, Windows Task Manager reports the the process is using over 8 meg of memory. If I minimize the app, memory usage drops to 372K. If I un-minimize the app, memory usage then jumps to approximately 2 meg & stays there with each successive minimize/un-minimize. Can somebody explain to me what is going on here Why does it initially have such a high memory usage for such a small app And why does it settle at 2 meg after minimizing once Thanks... ...Show All
