• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Possible bug with Buttons and EditingCommands?

  I found what seems to be a bug with buttons when setting the command to one of the EditingCommands. If the button is inside a toolbar the button becomes enabled/disabled as appropriate, but if the button is NOT in a toolbar it doesn't, and always stays disabled (you can verify this by running the example below). This behavior was also present in the Feb CTP, but I held off posting hoping that it might get fixed. Is this a bug, or is there a logi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build server and test projects

  I've got a solution with 3 projects, a windows app, a class library, and a test project. When I create a new build type to build this solution, the build seems to fail building the test project.

Target "Test" in project "TeamBuild.proj" Using "TestToolsTask" task from assembly " ...Show All

• Visual C# VS2005 randomly unable to find classes

  Hi I have a problem with Visual Studio 2005, in that it suddenly decides, quite randomly, that it can't find classes that exist within a particular namespace, even if the solution previously compiled ok. I can be quite happily fiddling with one completely unrelated file, but when I try and run the ASP.NET 2.0 C# application, it suddenly decides it can't find the class; even if the file in which it is defined is in the same solution, and e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Areas on Scenario

  I would like to set a list of areas for scenarios or do anything else that would let me categorize the scenarios. If I try to set an area I get a message TF20034: The area does not exist or you do not have permission to save work items in the area 'e'. Change the value for 'Area Path' to an area you have write permissions. I have no idea what to do with this. Any help Thank you. That worked well. One follow up question. I am not seeing ...Show All

• Visual C++ Justification for forcing 'virtual' for overridden virtual functions

  Since C++ does not force a programmer to specify the 'virtual' keyword when overriding a virtual function in a base class, what was the justification for forcing not only 'virtual' but also an after the parameter list 'override' when overriding virtual functions of a base ref class or interface class. For normal C++ programmers this bifurcation from C++ seems both a PITA and absolutely unnecessary. There must have been some practical reason for ...Show All
