• Windows Forms FileSystemWatcher

  Is there a way to use on FileSystemWatcher object to watch both a certain type of file and all folders or do you have to use two FileSystemWatcher objects to do that Also, if two are necessary, how would you go about having both of those work on different threads (I'm pretty new to threading) Many Thanx!  :)  FWIW, I think  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Refresh on the TeamFoundationServer object?

  Is there a way to refresh TeamFoundationServer objects Basically, if I store a TeamFoundationServer object in my class, and the state of the server changes in another application, how can I force the object to update and be consistent with the server I am seeing behavior between applications that if I add a query in one application, it will not refresh in the second application until I get a new TFS object in the second application. As soon as I do: TeamFoundationServer m_tfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(name, new UICredentialsProvider()); It will get the new information. How can I get around this Thanks, ~Joe ...Show All

• SQL Server File System Task - relative location ?

  hi, I am using "File System Task" to copy files from one pre-defined location to another. Is there a way to provide a "relative path" for the corresponding connections If yes, how to set it up for deployment If not, I guess the option will be to update the "connection string" property for the file connections using package configurations. thanks, Nitesh Another option is to store the "root" location in a folder (it can be populated from a configuration) and you can then use property expressions on your file connection manager connection strings to use that variable. -Jamie ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to override QueryStatus ()

  Hi All, I am using C# to write a VS Package with SDK 2005. I need to override the function Microsoft.VisualStudio.OLE.Interop.IOleCommandTarget.QueryStatus (). The Package class implements the interface IOleCommandTarget but does not have QueryStatus() as virtual. Would anyone know if there is an alternate way to achieve what QueryStatus() function does The IDE calls this method and gives the package a chance to disable/enable any UI components. Thanks Hi Surya, You can find the QueryStatus(...) method in teh ProjectNode class. Just inherit this class and override the QueryStatus. Regards Kajal ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista UI Testing via accessibility

  I'm tasked with building a UI testing library for our application.  It will allow testers to write simple programs (using VB or C#) to test our application.  Instead of referencing controls via pixel position or resource ID, it will use GUIDs or names so that tests don't break everytime a minor change is made to the GUI. 1) Should I use Active Accessibility 2.0 or Vista UI Automation 2) Is UI Automation available yet If so, how do I access it 3) Will it ever be supported on XP Thanks in advance, John Check out session FUN307 from the 2005 PDC.

• Windows Forms When is the Win32 Window created?

  In MFC there was a two phased creation process for a CWin type of window.  You created the object and then called Create to get the real "Window" created. Winforms tries to hide all that, but where in the creation of a Control can we be assured that the window handle is valid   When we are in the constructor of the Control  &nb ...Show All
