• Visual C# Limit Amount of Compile Errors before abandoning the Build

  Hello All, I've got a project I am working on that has a very large amount of errors. I'm running into an issue as I am taking care of errors and rebuilding it is taking too long to show me the remaining errors. I'm looking for an option in Visual Studio that will allow me to limit the amount of errors shown before the build is abandoned. I have so far been unsuccessful and was wondering if anyone here knew of this option or where it is located Thanks, Jeff I'm not aware of anyway to do this (this doesn't mean there isn't a way), however, you could try excluding all your classes/code files and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Testing Question

  Hi All, Just wondering if anyone has come across this and can explain if this is the correct behaviour. I have a solution setup as follows. 3 Assemblies called BL, DL, and BL.Test DL references a 3rd party assembly which it copies local BL references DL BL.Test references BL (normal kind of setup). When i build the solution and check the bin folders the assemblies are all in the locations i expect. (ie. The bon folder for BL.Test contains the following assemblies: BL.Test.dll BL.dll DL.dll 3rdParty.dll So far so good! When i run the unit tests using the VS.net IDE i always get the error that the 3rd ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions read a remote file in a char * variable

  People, how do I read a remote file in a variable Respectively, I need some function like char *file_get_contents ( char *url ) so that i can remote_file = file_get_contents ( "http://192.168.0.10/somefile.html" );  Is there some straightforward way Before trying to do this through HTTP, are you able to do this by going through the LAN filename = " \\ \\192.168.0.10\\www\\somefile.html " // this will open somefile.html using NetBIOS and the Windows Network, // like how a mapped network drive works. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Single Server Deployment

  Hi, Is single server deployment gone forever Dean Ahh - the Proxy...  Certainly a good reason to consider looking into the July CTP.  If it's really important to you and you only have one box, the Virtual PC/Virtual Server technology is probably the way to go. If you can afford to wait, I am encouraged by Michael's reply.  Since single server will be supported again, the question is when and can you afford to wait that long.  If you're actively using Beta 2 I think you should hold off.  Any migration between VSTS pre-release versions could be painful.  If you're just playing wi ...Show All

• SQL Server Watermark Generation is Invalid Error

  We are currently doing a proof of concept using SQL 2005 merge replication.  However we are currently encountering the following errors: "The common generation watermark is invalid at this replica since it does not exist or metadata for changes not yet propagated may have been cleaned up." " The merge process failed because it detected a mismatch between the replication metadata of the two replicas, such that some changes could be lost leading to non-convergence. This could be due to the subscriber not having synchronized within the retention period, or because of one of the replicas being restored to a backup older than retention ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Iterations's Scope

  I understood that, in MSF 4.0, each iteration should be composed by activities of all tracks, well, at least, the majority of them (plan, build, stabilize and deploy). These days a friend of mine asked me about that governance picture (MSF for CMMI). It shows a lot of successive iterations, but none of them covering the four tracks at once. It looks very similar to the RUP approach, when the iteration scope varies depending of the current development phase. I thought that in MSF we didn’t have the cycle divided into phases There is a passage in “Cycles and Iterations” that says: “Each iteration should result in a stable portion of the overa ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) catching routedevent from usercontrol

  HI all, i'm creating a usercontrol, and in it i have a slider.  of course, before making the usercontrol everything exist in the top-level window1.xaml code.  No problem setting a method to respond to "valuechanged" on the slider. now that the slider resides in the usercontrol, i'm at a loss on how to still get the 'valuechanged' event to the top-level.  any thoughts on a way to do this   do i need to implement a valuechanged method in the code-behind for the usercontrol and then trigger some custom routed event. Hoping there will be an easier way. any help would be appreciate, with some samp ...Show All

• .NET Development DataGrid & Multi Table Issue...

  Good Day All... Using VS 2005 (VB) & MS SQL 2005 - (targeting .NET 2.0) I have a parent and child data tables, with a PK field QuoteNumber (INT) Identity PK field on the Parent, and a QuoteNumber (INT) FK which is not Identity. There are common fields such as CustomerID and Date fields that are bound to edit fields on the top of the form. There is also a DataGrid on the form that is connected to the child table. Common fields between the two tables such as the CustomerID and the QuoteNumber are not updating, and I can't seem to get the datagrid to create a second row in the grid while entering data. How do I get the QuoteNumber ...Show All

• SQL Server Updates to SQLServer 2000 DLL's when 2005 client tools installed

  Hi, I have many sql 2000 DTS packages that I support from my development workstation  running v2000 sp4. Packages are altered on the development machine and then go through a normal release mechanisms to production via testing servers etc. I have recently installed the client tools for SQL Server 2005 on my desktop to evaluate the product.  The 2005 DB instance is running on a seperate server. So, I have dev edition of sql 2000 and 2005 client tools (including BI Dev studio etc) on my workstation.

• Visual FoxPro can't reindex 82,000 kb file

  Let me begin by thanking you for the help.  I am not a avid foxpro programmer.  I have a table in my database that has been acting up the past few weeks, but usually a reindex would fix the problem.  Today It won't let me reindex.  I type reindex and press enter and instead of getting the counter on the bottom right hand corner.  It does absolutely nothing.  If I delete the .cdx file and try -- still nothing.  If i move a .cdx file in from a backup -- still nothing. I am at a loss!  Hi Matt, You must have used the old syntax for Index On. Use Index On MyField Tag My ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Serial ports, Bytes, Hex reading and writing, ASCII control characters.

  Hopefully the subject line will help other people doing a search to find some answers! I've been struggling for a bit to write simple bytes to a serial device which then returns an acknowledgement of 7 bytes. My aim was to run a program under windows which when I clicked a button would send some bytes of data, the serial device would then send an acknowledgement back to the user. For some reason after a while I selected VB Express. As it turns out sending the bytes is easy: In your main form design, drag in a button and a serial port object from the toolbox. Set the SerialPort1 properties to what you need 9600 8 n1 or whatever. ...Show All
