• Visual Studio Team System Wrong files are checked in after a restore

  We somehow manage in messing up the files in the source code control. 1. We create a workspace and makes some changes to source files. 2. We check everything in 3. We follow the backup/restore procedures 4. After the completed restore we get a latest version in the workspace 5. We change a file for example AssemblyInfo.cs 6. We check in the pending changes 7. Then when we reopen the AssemblyInfo.cs we see that it has been replaced by another file (an xml file) that was also in our project We see this behaviour with different files, it seems that somehow the files are mixed making our project unusable. Is there some ...Show All

• Visual Basic Basestream.seek

  Hi, I need to read lines backwards in a TXT file with a fixed length for every line. I'm using Dim linetxt As String Dim counter as Integer = -56 'Which is the length of the lines Dim data_r As New StreamReader(data_path) 'data_path contains full path and name for the file data_r.BaseStream.Seek(counter, SeekOrigin.End) linetxt = data_r.ReadLine And this produces good results for a first reading. But last two lines are inside a loop where the counter is decreased everytime to get the previous line. Once the first reading is done, subsequents readings are wrong as Seek is moving the pointer in the Bas ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I create a copy of a record in a table? ( identity is used on PK )

  Hi. I have a problem. I am trying to copy a record in a stored procedure. There is a primary key ( id, indentity ) and the copy should be an exact copy of the row except for the PK, a field called SerialNo and a field called createtime having a default time of (getdate()) I would like to avoid copying the entire row manually since the table contains a lot of fields ( test parameters and limits of these ) and is not completely defined ( design phase ).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Font.DrawText() bug

  I'm not sure if this has been fixed in the latest sdk (downloading it now) but there seems to be a bug in the direct3dx Font.DrawText() method. When you use the DrawTextFormat.WordBreak format the lines get broken at punctuation marks as well as whitespace so that fullstops (periods), commas, apostrophes etc. at the end of words can get split to the next line which is really undesirable behaviour. I currently have the oct 2005 sdk so I'll see if the latest makes a difference. The new directx v2.0 DrawString() method still has this bug. To replicate simply run the text3d sample (any version). There is som ...Show All

• Visual Studio IVsProject3->OpenItem is called for each document having a breakpoint before the debugging starts

  Hi, I have implemented my own debug engine, we are creating a virtual project to enable debugging. All my docs are non file based docs. My problem is that when I start a debugging session I see that OpenItem in IVsProject3 is called for each document that has a breakpoint in it. Iam not sure why it is happening but I observed the same behavior with the MY C sample provided with the sdk. The call comes from the Vsdebug.dll, Is there any way by which I can stop these calls coming as these calls are unnecessarily trying to open documents that may or may not be required, I would still like my breakpoints to be available as otherwise I wou ...Show All
