• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Error - hyperlink in a WBA in an IFrame

  I have a hyperlink in a WBA which is hosted in an IFrame. The hyperlink is pointing to an HTML page. When I click on it, an error is raised right before the WBA exists and the browser is redirected to the HTML page. The error is here: http://www.valil.com/AmazonBookInfo/error.jpg I have created a sample project to recreate the error: http://www.valil.com/AmazonBookInfo/TestHyperlinkIFrame.zip (double-click on index.html from bin\Debug and then click on the hyperlink) The error shows up only if the WBA is in the IFrame - if it is loaded by itself it works OK.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help with databases

  Hi I have a database with about 20 columns one of which is vehicleNumber and one of which is temperature. I have many different vehicleNumbers. When the user types a vehicleNumber into a text box I need to collect all the temperatures for that vehicle and find the average temperature.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Triggers vs. Event Handler

  What advantage do I get by using triggers rather than standard event handlers, given that I deal with by UIElements from the code only Thanks Triggers allow declaritive changes to occur when an event fires, or a property changes value, etc. You can do that in code with events as well. The main advantage I would say is that with Triggers you do not need to know the event signature, or deal with some of the subtile differences between event types. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF42056: The build service could not connect .... TF30063: You are not authorized....

  This message is displayed on a client box (running VS 2005 architect) when we attempt to execute a build type. The build type is referenceing the build service on a different server. TFS is running great and check in / check out, etc works fine. However, I do not have a domain in place since this is all installed on virtual instances. All logins are local and everything works great except for this. My problem is that since the build service account is running on a standalone machine I'm assuming it is responsible for providing this message back to the client.

• Visual Studio Team System Testing Policy completion

  What does Visual Studio use to determine if the test run has been completed successfully in order to allow check-in The reason for the question: why doesn't running these test external to Visual Studio via MSBuild satisfy this policy I'd like to set a check-in policy that not only requires tests to be run prior to check-in, but also requires the build and tests are using latest code checked-in by others since my check-out. I can do this with a MSBuild script, but running the tests this way does not satisfy the check-in policy. If I cannot satisfy the test from an external MSBuild script to enable check-in, is there a way to require test ...Show All

It's a property on the label control. Of course, you need to make your label the size of the form when the form resizes, in order for centreing to work. ...Show All
