Visual Studio Team System From RUP to MSF???
Hey. I currently work as a Process Engineer at an oragnization where we have teams comprising from 5 to 10 people, from a Project Manager, System Architect, Analyst, Programmers, SQA Engineers and Release Manager. I think after hearing all these roles you have gotten an idea that we follow a rather formall process, in our current environment we have project sites at WSS which is connected with company's SharePoint Portal, and for project management we use Project Server, we have devised a bug tracking solution using SharePoint lists, for requirements management we follow Rationale's model, so this is rather a dis-conected environment, an ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Win32/MFC: Ownerdraw MenuItem - Never receives ODS_SELECTED
Hi, I've run into a serious problem here with Vista Beta 2 build 5308: When using an ownerdraw menu the menuitem never receives the ODS_SELECTED state. All other states work fine though. Neither my own Win32 code nor any MFC sample code ("OfficeXP Style Menu" and so on) from sites like codeproject.com do work on Vista. But all do work on 2K, XP. Now, Is this a (known ) bug in Vista A driver problem What can i do Thanks in advance, I'm seeing the exact same problem with BCMenu (Brent Corkum) used in commercial apps. I consider this to be a serious bug that they'll have to address in future build ...Show All
Visual Studio Help (other things too) broken? Team Suite
I've installed (and reinstalled and uninstalled and reinstalled) Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite from our MSDN subscription. The reason for all the installs/uninstalls/reinstalls is because apparently getting rid of all the remnants of beta testing is more problematic than it appears. At any rate, if I try to do a "search" from the help menu I get: The Visual Studio Common IDE Package ({6E87CFAD-6C05-4ADF-9CD7-3B7943875B7C}) did not load because of previous errors. For assistance, contact the package vendor. To attempt to load this package again, type 'devenv /resetskippkgs' at the command prompt. in the output window (w ...Show All
Visual Basic VS 2005 IDE Unresponsive
We had originally installed Beta 2 of the product which ran better than expected. After using the tool from MS to uninstall the beta software we then installed VS2005 Final which we downloaded through our msdn subscription. The IDE becomes just about unusable. Not only that but it pretty much renders the computer useless while it eats up CPU cycles. This occurs during the following conditions: 1.) We make a small change in code and the editor hangs, the hour glass pops up and the cpu usage for the devenv.exe process is usually at 99%. The icon at the top of the VS IDE switches to the default exe icon. This unresponsive behavior usually ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Global list issues
I created a Global list of our customers. Many of the names include an apostrophe (') example "Joe's" Whenever one of these items are selected, the Work Item <Group> the list is in no longer displays correctly. Items earlier in the Group display correctly, Items in the subsequent Groups display correctly. Examples below... I have temporarily substituted (_) for (') in all customer names. GLimport.exe should screen for outlawed chars and give error message or correct the list on the way in. Notes: 32 bit machine, Beta 3 refresh Sample List: <GLOBALLIST name="Clients"> <LISTITEM value="Joe's" ...Show All

Visual Basic Where can I download Visual Basic 6.0 ?
Really dumb question, but I couldn't find any download link for Visual Basic 6.0. And I don't want to use Visual Basic 2005, because I got a lot of learning material for Visual Basic 6.0. VB6 was not a free product. Also, VB6 will be seeing decreasing utilization and demand. It would be a great idea todownload VB express and use that. I understand that it is free now. I do not know if it is time limited. ...Show All
Visual Studio Tools for Office Trust Warning
I had already posted this in my Trust Load Customization post. I've tried so many things my head is spinning. I need more help and wasn't sure exactly where to post this follow up in my original post. I'm getting a warning that says "The assembly must be granted full trust before the solution will run. For more information see Help." It seems that the trust issue relates to the spreadsheet and not to my vb.net code (I think). The application runs in debug mode from within VS. It also runs if I run the Excel file that lives in the Debug folder. Since I've barely started it, I haven't tried to make a deployable application. ...Show All

Visual Studio Team System LoginView postback error
We have been using the LoginView with no problems in the beta version of .net 2, when the final release came out we started to get an issue on the postback of the page our user control is in. We have a loginView and DataGridView as two seperate user controls on the same page. When the DataGrid posts back the login view reverts to the anonymous template even though we are still logged in. It does not hit the init or load events for the loginView and so we are left with a login prompt template. Has anyone got any suggestions that could help resolve this issue Thanks in advance, Anna Please post ...Show All

SQL Server RS 2005 - Evaluation Version
Our RS 2005 - Evaluation Version has expired .... does anyone know if it is possible to copy existing RS reports from an evaluation server to another server How is this done Thanks. RS 2005 is already installed on the new server. You can use the reporting services configuration tool to configure the new report server to use the existing report server database. Connect the configuration tool to the report server, then use the database setup tab to use the existing report server database. If you have a back up of the symmertric key for the existing database, you'll need to restore the key on the Encryption Key tab. ...Show All
Windows Forms Click Event
Can someone tell me what the code for opening a link is. Like Process.Start(" www.microsoft.com ") for Visual Basic .net. Also could someone tell me where to put the code. I don't understand - if you mean a URL link, that is the code. Put the code where-ever you want to open a URL. I suspect you're asking something else, but it's not clear to me. Do you mean a link button It's like any button, you can add the code for a click event in the designer, it will put the right code where it needs to be. ...Show All
.NET Development Setting the debug symbol path to an internet source
How would I go about setting the debug symbol path for a .NET application to an internet location e.g. http://www.merrioncomputing.com/Download When I set this in the Solution options -> debug files location dialog box it says the location is invalid. I'm not quite sure what you're asking. If you're using Visual Studio 2005 as your debugger, the symbol server feature can use an http url for the symbol path. To do this, use Tools/Options.../Debuggin/Symbols to add the url to the symbol file location. In this situation, I would certainly recommend using a local cache directory for downloaded symbols. For example, you can use: h ...Show All
