• Visual Studio Team System More on my question...Resolve Bugs automatically.

  Hi, How are Bugs added   I can run a test and add them manually by right-clicking on the test result and adding or associating the result with a Bug Work Item.  However, I would like to know whether Bugs are ever automatically added, and if so, how one can configure this process.  E.g. I see that MSF Agile comes with a few pre-added bugs - I suppose they were automatically added by the Build process. Bugs won't be added during ad hoc builds by the developer while s/he is developing, I suppose. Are they added automatically during a Team Build Are bugs ever automatically added, and if so, how Kind Regards ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Has anyone already styled a scroolbar using Expression designer?

  Hi, If you do, can you please help me I tried it, but doesn't work. I want it to change al the scrollbars in my window (textbox scrollbar, general scrollbar,...) tnx in advance This isnt very easy right now but I was able to do it with a combination of editing directly in Expression and hand manipulating the XAML. I added a Scrollbar (not ScrollViewer) to the stage from the library. Then I edited a copy of the style (easily accessed through right click on the ScrollBar itself). Note, I did not edit a copy of the template. At this point you have to exit the "style" editing mode so you are bac ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Text / MS Word in .net and printing - any suggestions?

  I love the .net framework and what it has to offer. But it seems it is lacking a bit on text and graphic manipulation. I have a situation where I need to throw fairly simple variables into a MS Word template and simply print the template.  The template has images and text. The user will need to preview the printable version in a .net windows form. Unfortunately, I'm not even sure how to host a windows word document inside a windows form - let alone print it. I heard you can use activex container to host a windows document - I may try this if nobody has a better solution. I think .Net needs a better text editor control... ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Expression<Func<A,R>> to Func<A,R> conversion

  Since the compiler is able to generate both Expression<Func< int , string >> e = i => i.ToString()   and Func< int , string > f = i => i.ToString()   I think it would be very helpful to have a way to get the Func<,> delegate for a given Expression<Func<,>> Easiest way would be by an implicit conversion f = e;   I understand it is the job of the compiler to generate either the Expression or the Func and I saw the Espresso sample in the LINQ preview where a pretty elaborated parser has been created in order to do so. As the sample shows, there is obviously  ...Show All
