• Visual Studio Express Editions BalloonTipText on NotifyIcon1 Hover over?

  I've been looking at how to use BalloonTipText, and I found this small section of code: NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipTitle = "Balloon Tip Title" NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipText = "Balloon Tip Text." NotifyIcon1.BalloonTipIcon = ToolTipIcon.Error That isn't working for me though, in the test app I made to try it out. I put it in the NotifyIcon1_Click event and nothing showed up. I'd really like to be able to display something when the user hovers over the notify icon too, and I couldn't find a hover over event. Also, can I use a variable for the text in the balloon tip Any help would be appreciated. ...Show All

• .NET Development Error: Columns being marked Read Only and/or Unique during SqlDataAdapter.Fill()

  Columns marked Read Only and Unique during Fill -- why   My concern is described in the subject of this post and I have posted the related code snippets at the bottom of this post.   In short, my classes handle tables for which they have little schema knowledge -- nothing except a set of column names which may not include all columns in the table.   My classes read data from these tables, process data in named columns based on user-supplied rules, and store the data back to the source table or insert the data into one or more additional tables.   In cases where the rules dictate that my classes read fr ...Show All

• Visual Basic Webbrowser Control - Handling pop-ups

  Hello there everyone. I've been dabbling with the WebBrowser control in VB6 and I am trying to control the popups.

• SQL Server Strings, Splitting, and Numerics

  I am having problems splitting numeric values in Reporting Services 2005. I have a string such as “2, 3, 4, A”. When I run the following statement I receive an error: IIF(IsNumeric(Split(Fields!Numbers.Value, ", " )(3))= false , Int( Split(Fields!Numbers.Value, ", " )(2)) , Int(Split(Fields!Numers.Value, ", " )(3))) Structurally it looks sound, but the error handling behind the scenes flags it as an error. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it Thanks for your help. Oops. Yeah that is just a typo. My bad, but the problem is the same e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Repair

  Hi Gang, I'm having issues with my Team Foundation Server Workgroup Edition install. It seems I must have entered in the Reporting Services domain account password in wrong, because I get logon failures when ever TFS tries to show me a report, and eventually the account becomes locked out. I went to Add/Remove Programs and attempted to run the repar/reinstall option for TFS, where I could re-enter the username and password. However, after I enter the new credentials and TFS tries to run the repair process, an error is thrown: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Setup Error 1309.Error reading from file: C ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to: Customize the build reports

  Hey there, I already know how to add lines in the build log file. But now I need to add information to the report that ends up on the project portal. I have read the SDK part about extending the Team Foundation Reporting Warehouse but I'm not sure this is what I'm looking for... Any pointers Thanks!!! If you want to add information that's already in the warehouse to the report, then you can just edit the report to include that. For example, if you want to add the number of bugs found in a build (and your Bug work item type uses the Found In Build field), then add the Cumulative Count measure, sliced by Found In.Build.

• SQL Server Shared Datasources that use dynamic DB connection strings

  Is it possible to create a shared datasource that uses a dynamic DB connection string I can't seem to get it to work. The db connection string is as such (server and DB names changed): ="Data Source=" & IIF(Hour(TimeValue(Today)) Mod 2, "FirstServer;Initial Catalog=exampleDB", "SecondServer;Initial Catalog=exampleDB") I can see why this wouldn't work as a shared datasource if I was using a report-specific parameter, but I'm just switching the server/DB based on the time. Anything special that I need to do to get this to work That's too bad... I have ~ 50 reports that need to switch between two serv ...Show All

  Hello! At the moment we are trying to get rid of all the fxcop warnings in our project, but have three issues we can't resolve. 1. Is there any ways to specify all the message suppressions in one place (file) We need it because suppression attributes like this: [System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.

  When no light ,we can't see the texture.have a point light ,we can see the texture .So the material how to set I am assuming you are using C# and Managed DirectX. You can set the Material as follows. First you need to actually setup a material... This example shows a white material. private Material material; material = new Material(); material.Diffuse = Color.White; And then finally setting the material to the device which means that all the objects being rendered will have the material applied to them unless you change it.
