• Visual Studio Team System MSSCCI + VS 2003 - Choose Folder

    I am trying to open a project in TFS using the VS 2003 MSCCI provider. The project is located here: $/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.sln The issue is when I select the HelloWorld folder in "Choose Folder in Team Foundation Server", the "OK" button is greyed out. On the other hand, during the creation of the project, if I have my folder structure like so: $/HelloWorld/SolutionFiles/HelloWorld.sln, I am able to open the solution in VS 2003 as the ok button is enabled. I am guessing that source code should not be checked into the root of a project, instead, we should create a folder under the project and c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't upload process templates based on CMMI Beta 3

  When trying to upload a process template based on MSF for CMMI I get the following error: Module: Work Item Tracking Exception Type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.Provision.ProvisionValidationException Exception Message: TF26177: The field Microsoft.VSTS.Common.ProposedDate cannot be renamed from 'Proposed Date - MSF for CMMI Process Improvement' to 'Proposed Date'.

• .NET Development Calling a method and getting that method from xml

  I am not sure if this is even possible but here goes... I have a program that uses databases. I have made it so if I need to change the type of database I can go in to my Data Access Layer, make the changes and thats it. My only problem is, within the code for the program, there are calls to methods within that DAL whos names could possibly change. Is it possible for me to store the name for that method in XML them call that method. That way, if I make changes to the DAL, I could just update the XML with the new method names and no need to enter the program code and recompile. Does that make sense Basically I am trying to do this: str ...Show All

  Hello, I have tried Randy Miller's cookbook about customizing MSF for Agile SD in VSTS Beta 2 ( http://blogs.msdn.com/randymiller/archive/2005/03/17/398419.aspx ) but it is working only in the folder with the exported framework templates.

  I'm using VS 2003. With a Dell Axim x51 (with Windows Mobile 2005) I have installed the CF 2.0 on it.  The project was built with VS 03, however I use {application}.exe.config to get it to use the 2.0 CF.  This was necessary to go through an proxy server that uses NTLM.  NETCF 1.0 did not allow this.  This process works until I try to post to a SSL HTTPS page.

• SQL Server Cannot shut down VS after using report designer

  Routinely when I use BIDS to work on a report design, I cannot close BIDS because I get a message box that says: Microsoft Visual Studio cannot shut down because a modal dialog is active. Close the active dialog and try again. Of course, there is no visible dialog open. I actually have to terminate the process from task manager. I do not get this problem when using SSIS or SSAS.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX version needed to run an application

  Man, it's nice being able to hide behind the I'm new to all this excuse. When I wrote a small game using DirectDraw in C++ I requested the specfic interface I needed (DirectX 3), even though DirectX was at version 7. It was then easy for me to say DirectX 3 or better was required to play. Using .NET, C# and managed DirectX (Dec 2005) I do not request the interface directly. I know the answer lies in the references I am including in the project, but there are 6 version of the Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX DLL. I updated my installed version of the SDK and attempted to update the refernece and the code breaks. Commit() on the Light class s ...Show All
