• Visual Studio Team System Team Build - VS Solution Centric

  From the New Build Type wizard it appears to me that Team Build can only sequence VS solutions into a build   Which, BTW, is my number 1 fear with Team Foundation in general - too VS centric.  VS is an important piece of our product development and build but it is only a piece.  I am encouraged when I see the nice command line interface to the version control system.  However, then I discouraged when I see that Team Build appears to only know how to deal with VS solutions.  If this is the case then this tool is too narrowly focused to meet our needs.  We have a mish-mash of VS solutions, old makef ...Show All

• Visual C# Accept/receive all from localhost:any port - to - any ip:25

   I have written a mail proxy that allows the addition of signatures, and other information, to emails at a packet level so it works with any email client. The application is working as originally designed. Currently I configure the smtp server in my mail client to localhost and define the true smtp server in the programs UI. I would like to be able to leave my mail clients smtp configuration set to the true smtp server. And have my proxy catch all traffic with destination port = 25 and destination ip = ANY. I have looked into one option thus far.   1) Setting scoket options to receive all as follows:     socket.Set ...Show All

• Visual Studio using VSS with other development sw

  Hi, I am new to VSS and I am evaluating the use of VSS (2005 beta2) as unique source control system for several development platforms. I see that Vss is well integrated with visual studio and some other tools, I haven't found informations about its use combined with other sw such as microprocessors cross compilers, CAD and CAE tools, ASIC and FPGA development tools and so on. What I am searching for now is which method to use to handle projects' folders such as the ones regarding constraints, source files (possibly nested), makefiles, simulation stimuli, libraries, and so on. Conceptually these folders are not subprojects also if they can ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to add Visual studio data source wizard in GAT

  How to add existing visual studio wizards on my GAT application, like "data source configuration assistant" wizard What do you mean by existing VS wizards Those built-in VS Existing wizards from other recipes If it's the former, you have to find out if any of those wizards are exposed for direct invoking through an API. It's possible that they expose a VS command, although not necessarily. You should ask the VS extensibility and VSIP forums about that. If it's the latter, there's no built-in mechanism in GAX to include existing wizards provided by other guidance packages. If you have access to ...Show All

• .NET Development Run a method in another thread

  Hi, I'm currently working on a network library that offers an XMPP stream to a server, written in C# (.NET 2.0). After the stream has been initialised, the client can send elements to the server and the server can send elements to the client independently. Now I thought I run a separate thread listening on the stream and put all incoming elements in a queue, member of the XMPP.Stream class, a client could then read from the queue when needed. Additionally I have added events in the stream that are fired when an element comes in and when the stream is remotely closed. Now when I call the event function, it will be run inside the stream reader ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I detect a connection is present to an URL or not?

  Hi, I have an application in VB.NET which has feature of determining whether a network connection is present or not.The application has certain links to other applications (in form of icons) that are present in other intranets. If network is detected it will enable the icons.  Now, I have an extra feature to add. The icons will be enabled only when network connection is present as well as I am connected to the Intranet. If I logout of the Intranet, the Icons relevant to the particular Intranet will be disabled even though I have a connection present(determined from Network Adapter) So, is there a way to determine whether ...Show All

• .NET Development Connect to Oracle Database programmatically using .NET 2.0

  I am a little confused about this.

• Visual Studio Problem setting breakpoints in Web Service

  Hi I've struck a strange problem debugging a Web Service written in VB.NET VS 2005 Beta 2. Before I run the project in debug mode, I can set breakpoints fine, however once I have run the project in debug mode I am unable to set new breakpoints, in either run mode, debug mode or strangely even when I have stopped running the project all together.  I have even tried killing the ASP.Net Development Web Server to no effect. I can remove existing breakpoints at any time. The only workaround I have found is to close VS and restart it. This does not appear to effect my WinForms app connecting to the web service. ...Show All
