• Visual Studio Team System Prepopulate the title?

  Hi, Could we pre-populate the title field like say <Some constant string>_<Team Project Name>_<Area Path>_<Created Date>. Thanks, Saurabh You could write an Add-In for Visual Studio that populated the Title field right before saving. Unfortunately the Rules in the Work Item Type definition do not support calculating a field like you describe. You could copy one field, but you ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. WOW...strange problem with deleting meshed "DYNAMIC"ly flagged

  Hello, recently I transformed my "game"(just at early stages) into DXUT framework, so I dont have to spend time with many windows related stuff. Anyway, when I was switching between WINDOWED/FULLSCREEN I was getting error that there are some resources that are not freed. I corrected memory leaks and this error message was still showing up. I couldn't find more unfreed resources...but then I just tried deleting D3DXMESH_DYNAMIC fr ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Use ADIR to get specific files from a folder

  Chdir (SOURCE_FILE_DIR) numfiles= Adir (filearry) I know you get files that have a specific extension like this: Adir( filearry , '*.TXT') BUT can you use a negative condition with Adir Example: get files from a folder where the extension is not .txt or .dat Before I made the post I was thinking along the same lines as Craig B about removing items from the array. What I ended up doing: Loop through the ...Show All

• .NET Development Retrieve windows-service account info

  Hi all, I'm trying to retrieve the account-info for an installed windows-service (the specific service is usually configured to run with a domain-user account) I thought this could be done wit the ServiceController-class, but that doesn't seem to work (no access to acount -info) The ServiceProcessInstaller does have an Account-member, but the constructor doesn't allow passing a service-name ... does anybody know how to do this Th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Workspaces are broken

  I created a team project, created a distributed app in that project and checked it in. I then created another team project, created a native C++ app in that project and checked it in. Doing the above broke Team Build since both projects were associated with a single source control workspace.  So I created a second workspace for the second project, and created a mapping in that workspace between the source control branch and working folder ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project fails to update project plan for tasks started early.

  We are using Team Foundation Server (MSF for Agile template) and Microsoft Project to manage software development and have encountered a problem severe enough to render Project nearly useless. Project fails to properly record work effort (actual work) for work done outside the timeframe for which it was scheduled. Step to reproduce the problem: 1. Use Project to schedule a task for some time in the future and assign it to a developer. 2. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop not reporting naming errors

  I am trying FxCop for the first time on a test project. I don’t think it is seeing naming errors. I have intentionally put in violations but the tool is not flagging them. For instance: private void junk (int ThiIsNotCAmelCase ) { int a = ThiIsNotCAmelCase; } int thisisalongvar = 1; are not flagged. What am I doing wrong jcp Jcp ...Show All

• .NET Development Mails that are being sent from smtpmail sometimes disappear...

  Hey all, I've been trying to look for similar problems all around the net, but I didn't succeed... Anyway, my problem is like that: I wrote a little command line mailer that tries to send a mail to a given address (a parameter to the command line) when certain events happen (if a batch file execution fails for example). The mail program works wonderfullu most of the times. But in some specific cases where it sends mail 3 times in a row (3 dif ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dynamic mesh creation with multiple textures

  Hi... you may remember me from prior threads like "How do I turn on my computer" and "Eek!  There's a mouse on my desk!" I am attempting to create a mesh that is two sub meshes - one for each side of a playing card - because each side uses a different texture.  That is, I have a deck texture with the various possible backs, and a face texture. It seems like this is something very doable using the SetAttri ...Show All

• Windows Forms binding to a combobox

  beta2 seems to be a step backwards from the feb ctp I was using before.  When I configre a table in the dataset to the controls I want, sometimes I choose a combobox. When I drag it to the form, beta2 sets the databinding to the text, rather than the selected value.  Of course, it displays all wrong.  So each time I have to change the databinding to the selected value.  Is this a bug dennist ...Show All

• Visual C# Adding Reference to older Word Object Library

  To allow users to access different version of Word in c#, you can either use late binding, which is very hard to implement in c#, or make use of the earliest Word Object Library, ie. OLB 9.0 for Word 2000.  The following article seem to imply that if you have a later version of Word, eg. Word XP, you can remove the reference and use browse to look for the older OLB, eg. MSWORD9.OLB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244167/ I've tried ...Show All

• Visual Basic Setting form time out to exit if idle for xx minutes?

  Hi, Does someone have a code snippet or reference page that illustrates the use of a form timer or variable to be set that allows one to set a limit on an open form to close after a period of time if no activity has been done.  I want to close/exit a form if the user has not entered or clicked a field for, lets say 15 minutes.  If there has not been any activity then close the form and return back to the main form.   Than ...Show All
