• Visual Studio Team System Web Deployment Project -> Team Build

  Hi, We are having issues converting Web Deployment Project file as team build type. 1. We created a W.D.P file and successfully built using this in local machine. 2. In order to create a build type for web app, we created the W.D.P file and added to source control along with Team Build Types. 3. But in team explorer, we are not able to see the W.D.P file as a team build type, thus unable to build it. How can I do this Is there any changes to make manually in W.D.P file Even, any links to existing information would be helpful. Thanks, Praveen Praveen - you just have to treat wdp as any othe ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get the application main form

   Hi All, I am developing a Windows application using C# - VS2005.  Is there a way to get a reference to the main application form ( the one that was started by the application.run()) from any user controls, any objects within the Windows application Thanks in advance The Application class has an OpenForms property that should give you a list of the currently open forms.  You should then be able to iterate that and look for one that's of the same type as your main window. -Shawn ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Copy Files (and use them) on Smartphone Emulator

  It seems as though I can create a share on my dev machine and the Smartphone Emulator accepts them via File - Configure - General - Shared folder (although there's no way of telling). However, because the Smartphone emulator does not have a built-in File Manager there is no way to copy around the files on the device (emulator). For example, say your Smartphone app relies on some .xml files for storing app-related information. I cannot figure out how to move those files into the app folder so my app can use them...or anywhere else on the device for that matter. Are there any tools out there that I can deploy to the device (emulator), such as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Hey! this is surprising..!

  I have got a small AddBok sample written in VB6 and using DAO for accessing data in an MDB file. I opened that project in VB.NET 2005 Exp. and the wizard took over and converted the project to VB.NET. I just pressed F5 and Viola the project ran without a hitch at the first go...! and surprising thing is that it was using DAO and not ADO.NET so to say! Of course I had used pure code in the VB6 sample for accessing data. has any one experienced such a thing. Am I dreaming on ....! ...Show All

• Visual Basic Overriding form exit in VB.

  Right, Lets see. I am trying to design my own simple IE-based Web Browser. I am using the usual WebBrowser control, and I use commands like .navigate ..etc.. to browse. One of the sites I browse to has a VoiceChat ActiveX controller that is designed in C++ , The administrators there can click on a command called "Exit Browser", and this would turn off IE or my Browser suddenly, The only way i can go back is by re-running IE or my browser and browsing back to the site and then logging in again. How Can I Override this command, ie: make my Form unresponsive to Exiting. I tried to load some code in Form_Unload, Form_Terminate, Form_QueryUnload& ...Show All

• Visual Studio Check in web service that are already under source control for VS2003

  At this moment we are upgrading web services, that are already under source control, from VS2003 to VS2005. The upgrade is successful, but when we want to check these web services in VS2005 is complaining that the *.asmx is already under source control and stops with check in of the other files. For a web service we checked the other files in with our source control manager and reopened the project. VS2005 do not notice that these files (app_code\*.cs) are under source control. Does anybody know what the problem is thanx in advance How did you migrated your VS2003 web project To a (folder-based) website o ...Show All

• SQL Server Thank Microsoft for many and nothing

    Sql server has some very good features but some possibilities are forgotten.   For instance in DTS2000 there was a possibility to make data transfer packages from  a AS400 ODBC connection (With parameters )  to Sql server tables. Those parameters were set in a dynamic properties task. In Sql server I can get variables out of sql tasks and even pass a parameter to an ODBC Sql task. This all works find. However when we try to use the obtained parameters in a dataflow transformation we are left in the cold. The dataflow function in 2005 has indeed great looks but that is all. Everything I could do in DTS2000 se ...Show All

• Windows Forms a datagridview and combobox problem

  I am using VS 2005 Professional.   I have a master-detail form on which I have a datagridview(detail) that is bound to a table. Within that grid, one of the columns displays values from another table using a combobox. Under normal circumstances this all works quite well. However, if you go to the new record at the bottom of the grid and click the down arrow of the combobox the autonumber field populates, as it should, and the master key value is also automatically entered in it's field, as it should be. The problem is that if the user decides not to select a value from the combobox at this point, and they try to delete t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Tracking Work Items Using a Web Interface

  The following article from 2004 states: Tracking Work Items Using a Web Interface And, finally, without installing all of Visual Studio, you can track work items using a Web interface shell of the work item tracking toolset.

• Visual Studio Team System TF54000: Cannot update data because the server clock may have been set incorrectly

  I am getting the following error from the API when i try to save a work item. So I added a break-point in the catch block and if I just retry the WorkItem.Save(), it works without throwing the exception. Other than retrying, is there a way to prevent this exception TF54000: Cannot update data because the server clock may have been set incorrectly. Contact your Team Foundation Server Administrator.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Changing Dependency Properties from Code

  Hi guys, as I'm getting always the right answers here - I have another "simple" one. When I change a dependency property of an activity in code the WorkflowDesigner is not persisting it because it does not "realise" that the prop has changed. No matter if I do it directly like activityinstance.Property = "string"; or through activityinstance.SetValue(Activity.PropertyProperty, "string"); This is different if I change the settings through the UI using the Properties pane. Question is - what function or property will cause the WorkflowDesigner to persist the workflow definitions ...Show All
