• Visual Studio Team System Can I undo / discard a checkout from source control explorer?

  Hello, This issue may have already been visited, but I haven't had any luck searching for a solution. Here's my problem: I had a contractor working on my project for quite some time in the early phases. When he left he left files checked out in his Workspace on his desktop. The effect of this is that Source Control Explorer listed a pending change for him dispite the fact that he has been gone for months. How can I discard his pending changes How do I delete his workspace Background: - TFS B3R on VMWare Server - Single server install Thanks as always, Graham I don't think you can do those thi ...Show All

• Visual C++ Structure member definition not recognized

  Hi, I have the following structures: struct ObjCol { char szColName[64]; // column name ColType colType; // type of data ulong ulSize; // size }; typedef enum { TYPE_INTEGER, TYPE_STRING, TYPE_BOOL, TYPE_RAW, TYPE_EXT_TIME, TYPE_EXT_DATE, TYPE_EXT_TIMESTAMP, TYPE_CONV_UL_TIME, TYPE_CONV_UL_DATE, TYPE_CONV_UL_TIMESTAMP } ColType; and I call a method which initializes the ObjCol structure. I call it from MC++ project and from a C++ project.

• Visual Studio VSIP/Visual Studio 2005 SDK and open source language services?

  In the near future I would like to attempt a language services plug-in using the Visual Studio 2005 SDK (formerly called VSIP I believe); the free version, to be specific. However, since I may or may not have much time in the future to work on it, I was wondering if a non-viral open source license - something like MIT or BSD that does not propogate up the chain - would be OK. I do not care much about the particulars of whatever licenses are acceptable; anything that lets me share the source so other people can hack on it is fine by me. Any-one know the answer to this C'mon now. There's no need to be afra ...Show All

• Windows Forms Controlling elements in a seperate C# form

  Hi, I'm fairly new to C# and OO stuff, being an embedded C specialist. I'm trying to write an application that can talk serially to several units on a bus. That side of things I can handle, but the windows forms is harder for me! I have the main window form of the application where the user can setup the connection and so on, which will actually do the serial communication, however I need multiple extra windows that not only display information recieved (which one depending upon an ID), but also send data back to the master. IE: there will be one master, and multiple slaves (eg 4) that communicate only with the master. I'm struggling to ge ...Show All

• .NET Development Customize the "error report" send by a crashing application

  When the .Net application crashes, a dialog box appears and proposes to send a report to Microsoft. Is it possible to customize the behavior of this dialog box to send the error report to an other server Thanks in advance, Joannes There is no way within your application to specify a different server for error reports. However, there are a couple of ways to obtain your error reports, depending on your scenario. If you're an ISV, you can obtain error reports for your application via http://winqual.microsoft.com (see the links under "Windows Error Reporting"). Currently that site has only partial support for ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sorting CategoryAttributes for PropertyGrids

  This is my first post, and I just want to say that I am so excited that I found this dev forum.  It will come in very handy for development.  Thanks everyone for being a part of it. I wanted to talk about Sorting Categories in property grids.  I have failed to find anything that tells me how to do it.  I have made a properties sorting class, but not category.  I have come across a way to do it.  Pardon my stupidity if everyone already knows this, but for the new devs, it will help.   Lets take my example: This is property grid data to be shown in a windows form property grid.

• SQL Server min/max of x minutes

  I am trying to develop a sql statement that will create a recordset of the min (or max) values in x minute increments over a period of time. e.g. over a period of 7 days, I have data that was collected in 1 minute intervals. I need to know the min (or max) value in each 10 minute interval over that same period of time.
