• Visual Studio Team System Strange behavior from IDE while running tests

  I am following the "How to record and run a Web Test" walkthrough. If I go to the Test View panel and select "Run Selection" on my coded web test, everything goes as expected. However, if I hit F5, as is my habit, it starts by running a manual test (and I tell it to pass this test) and I stop debugging at some point. But then the IDE seems to get stuck in a state between debugging and not-debugging. I cannot edit files without getting a warning dialog about being in debug mode, but the Debug menu shows that I am not debugging. If I try to run just my coded web test (which will normally run fine), it throws an exception. I have to close the I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TestManagement: creating workItems for test lists (manual tests)

  I'm evaluating testmanagement capabilities of the Team Suite now. I liked tests, testlists, test->workItem links... but what I'm really lucking now is the ability to assign the run of some tests (test lists) to a particular test engineer. Originally I was expecting that it would be quite easy to do using work items but still I don't know how to do it. Moreover, I have met the following phrase in msdn: "The manual test cases they develop would be checked into source control and can be associated with work items in the same fashion as developer code" . Is this the only way Francly speaking the usability of such approach is ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is anyone updating http://www.windowsforms.com/

  There doesn't seem to be any recent content, has the site been retired I wouldn't think so, as the forums are reasonably active. It has been a while since the main content was changed (since the whidbey info went up), but I'm guessing with the recent MS reorg that means the windows forms and vb.net teams work closely together, some resources may become available to update it Cathal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. I really like the product and have convinced my manager we should move to it but I can't really do that in good faith if the team is going to lock up frequently. Cheers, Clint Well I w ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem with Socket?

  It is possible to create a client/server system with sockets without having that to define an IP to connect itself to the server I have a system in vb6 but I am not obtaining to translate into net 2005 Thanks Bottom line is no. You could rephrase the question: Is it possible to send an e-mail to someone without knowing their address Having said that, you can 'broadcast' messages to everyone: this is really only useful to send out an 'is anyone out there ' message, and the server respond with an 'i'm here at xyz address '; the conversation will then continue through a connection established to that address. ...Show All

• Visual C# IDE Deletes my code

  Hi, While using the Visual C# IDE to build a somewhat complex form (about 60-65 controls), I added a SplitContainer control to manage the layout of some of my controls.  After a couple of minutes of playing around with the properties of the SplitContainer, the IDE deleted all of my code from the form - ALL of it !  Fortunately, I was able to pull a copy off a backup drive.  I restarted the IDE and started making some more changes to the form, but the second time around I stayed far away from the SplitContainer control, and the IDE deleted all my code again !  Ive lost almost 2 days worth of work.
