• Visual Studio Team System Can not Connect to TFS

  I've been staring at this and I've narrowed it down to a machine-level issue...but I can't figure out what that issue is. When I try to connect to TFS, I get the following error: TF31002 - Unable to connect to team foundation server This is pretty much a generic message. Strange thing is that everyone else on my team can connect. Also, I can connect if I log onto one of their machines, so I know that the security is configured co ...Show All

• Visual Basic Menu Item Checked Property Application Setting

  I'm trying to bind the Checked property of a menu item to an application setting. But it just doesn't work. The item always has the checked state that I give it at design time. This works OK when I try it for a checkbox but not for a menu item. Here's the autogenerated code I have: Me .mnuasd.Checked = Global .WindowsApplication1.My.MySettings.Default.MenuChecked Me .mnuasd.CheckOnClick = True Me .mnuasd.Name = "mnuasd&qu ...Show All

• Windows Forms Need help permanently maintaining the rectangle after a button click

However, I am having a problem that this Rectangle gets disappeared after it's covered by some other windows form(I hope you understand what I mean by this ). I know that if I want to permanently maintain it I have to draw it in the paint method but I want to draw this rectangle only when the button is cl ...Show All

• .NET Development RemotingConfiguration.Configure ensureSecurity parameter

  The old .NET 1.1 Configure method is marked as obsolete, and recommends using a new override with a parameter ensureSecurity. The MSDN documentation on the ensureSecurity parameter is a bit laconic: " true to enable security; otherwise, false ." I want to maintain backwards compatibility, i.e. don't want to require security. But I may want to use the new security features at some time in the future. What should I set this paramet ...Show All

• Visual C++ 2005 Resource Editor trashes non-English languages when you edit any dialog

  I have an application that has resources in 11 languages, including Chinese (CHS), Hungarian and Polish. These three are especially challenging because they use a non-English code page - Chinese uses 936 and Hungarian and Polish use 1250 (English and western-European languages use 1252). I am not using Unicode but rather just single byte characters sets for all languages except Chinese which requires MBCS (two byte characters). MFC an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Error: No Symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed.

  Hi, I am a student working on a DirectX 3D game. I usually work with Visual Studio .Net 2003 but thought I'd try to switch to C++ Express 2005 for the improved compiler - and that the IDE seems to run faster on my PC.. However when I try to step through the code as soon as I hit the 'Break All' button I receive an error message - "No Symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed."
