• Visual Studio Team System Source control in a remote environment

  How can team foundation client (team explorer) recognize that the same project is coming from the same server in a remote environment For example : I set up a TFS server named "tfs" in the intranet of our company, and it could be accessed from internet via "tfs.mycompany.com". Then I add two tfs server in my team explorer, one is named "tfs", the other "tfs.mycompany.com". When I work in my company, I work with the server "tfs"; when I work at home, I use the server "tfs.mycompany.com". However, how can the team explorer recognize that the source code is coming from the same server I check out the source code in our company, and continue my ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions A nifty but NOT working image slideshow (from resources)

  Hi there people. Of all things I'm having problems making a lousy slideshow type program. First off, I've deleted the code I've made in frustration so don't ask for any :) I imported my pictures into the resx file and know how to access them individually but what I'm trying to do is to simply make back and next buttons. I can't seem to figure out how to get the pictures from the resource file to a string array so I can call it with an int (Picarray ). I've tried many things, now I'm just looking for a link or project that has one already built so I can learn by example, anyone got a link like that I have Google'd for it ( ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System HTTPS or VPN to access TFS

  Hi, we have a couple of developers that work remotely a few days of the week. Currently we have a firebox router in the office and use MuVPN clients to connect to it. I was wondering whether we would be better off (would it be faster) to expose the TFS through HTTPS rather than use a VPN Does anyone do this, or not Why did you choose the solutions you have Thanks for your help Graham It is possible to setup the TFS AppTier to support HTTPS connections in addition to (or even exclusively in favor of) HTTP connections. It's not the easiest thing in the world - establishing and configuring a certificate server ...Show All

• Windows Forms bind to indexer

  Hi, It's possible to bind to a indexer (ex: a["name"]) in VS 2005 beta2 (specially for datagridview) OK - you may be looking for something like the sample below - it takes virtual properties from a "model" and presents them to the DataGridView as "real" properties.  It involves implementing ICustomTypeDescriptor - and although a bit complex this is extremely powerful (and how ADO.NET does a similar thing).  It should be fairly simple to adapt your Entity type to this: class EntitySample : ICustomTypeDescriptor {     Dictionary< string , object >  ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to view XML in WebBrowser control using the DocumentText property?

  Hi, (This is on .NET 2.0)  The only way I managed to show XML in the webbrowser control was to write the xml contents to a file and then use "Navigate(...)" to open the file. This is a bit awkward for me because I have the XML in a string variable, and the most straightforward way to do it would be to simply assign it to the "DocumentText" property. But that did not work... (nothing is displayed, although using the context menu to view the page source shows that my xml content is there). Any tips on how to do this Thanks Rubens Hi .. i have implemented the same bit. ie. showing PDF/ HTML/ TEXT file in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Shipping VSTA Application

  Hi, I have one application and I want to ship that to another machine , how do I ship runtime VSTA engine with my application to that machine so that I donot require to install VS 2005 or VSTA explicitly on that machine. Thanks in advance. VSTA contains both the IDE (which contains the IDE and Runtime) and a Runtime only MSI, plus languange packs for both. Normally you only need to chain the IDE MSI into your host application. But if you want a Runtime only install that is also an option. Paul Stubbs Program Manager ...Show All

• Visual C# Working with database data in textbox controls instead of datagrid?

  I've learned how to display/update data from a database in a datagridview control. But when working with one row at a time, i would prefer to make a nicer GUI, with textboxes/checkboxes etc. Are there any easy way i can achieve that Reading and displaying is one thing, but what about updating Does anyone know where i can find any tutorials that demonstrates working with data in other controls than the datagridview Example: A GUI with a button that fills the textboxes with data from a data source, a button that updates any changes to the db, and buttons that lets me select previous/next records.

• Visual Basic Window size?!?!

  I work on a 17" Widescreen LCD monitor with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. How will I know if the Windows application I develop will fit on a 15" screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 In VB6 there used to be the "Form Layout Window", is there anything similar in .NET 2003 Thanks Screen real estate typically refers to the number of pixels you have (e.g. a 1024x768 resolution has more 'screen real estate' than 800x600 or, two 17" monitors running 1280x1024 has 36% more screen real estate than a 22" monitor at 1600x1200, although they have physically different sizes).
