• Visual Studio Team System Team Build - Build Directory?

  I'm a little confused as to why the new build type wizard asks for a build directory.  You have to specify a workspace and since that specifies a local directory I would have thought that the build would just occur in that directory.  Why not just build in place Thanks Marcel for explaining our design and for the feedback. We could have asked users to define a dedicated workspace for build ma ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source Code Control - Share

  In VSTS, is there an equivalent to Share available   We have applications which are developed across multiple platforms (web, desktop, mobile) which many of the class files are just shared accross the different project types to allow code reuse.

• Smart Device Development Problem launching a debugging session on VS.NET 2005 Standard

  I'm trying to create a simple test app to begin development on a SmartDevice app in VS.NET 2005 Standard. I have WinXP SP2. I chose a "Device Application (1.0)" project from the C# projects (I wanted .NET CF 1.0 rather than requiring 2.0). Did nothing else, just decided to launch it in the emulator to make sure everything worked - and it didn't. When I try to deploy to any of the emulators, I get a dialog box which says: "Fai ...Show All

• Windows Forms Checked Items in DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn

  Hi all, I have a DataGridView control binding with a DataSet, and a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn is placed at the last column. Now, I want to get the checked items from this DataGridView and do other processes.

• Visual Studio Express Editions TextBox (multiple line) & Databinding

  In an attempt to do a project recently, I've bumped into a problem with textbox and databinding. I have a multiple line textbox and wish to display the address of a company. However the full address of the company is stored in multiple columns inside my database. When implemented, I can only display the street address onto my textbox. I'm currently databinding the textbox to the address field in my customer table. Is there a way to display more ...Show All

• Visual Basic Add connection wizard fails with Access database

  I have the RTM version installed. I am quite puzzled at this wizard. It works fine with SqlClient. But for Access databases, this wizard completely fails. In this wizard, I only have one option to do - setting the ConnectionString. I set it to Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\path\abc.mdb, which works fine in my code. But when I click OK, it complains: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio --------------------------- ...Show All

• Windows Forms Inheriting the contextmenustrip problem

  I searched through the contextmenustrip questions and didn't see this one: We have a base form that has a context menu strip on it where we put a few common features (we made the menu and the menu items protected friend).  Then we have a form that inherits the base form and we are extending the menu.  It shows a few problems: 1.  When you try to set properties on the menu itself they are all disabled as if it was scoped wrong to b ...Show All

• Visual C# Disappearing threads in this NG?

  When threads disappear from a NG, are the OPs notified in any way Other than by the disappearance, I mean. I'm not aware of any threads disappearing, but they are on occasion moved to more appropriate forums. When you log in, you should have a link to "My Threads" in the upper right corner of the page. This will take you to a list of all the threads you have participated in, regardless of the forum. Does that help -Tom Meschter Softwa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source Control Explorer with no Team Project?

  I have a lot of sample code that I'd like to store in TFS Source Control. Is it possible to use the TFS Source Control Explorer when there is no Team Project If so, how to do it If not, why Thanks in advance.
