• Visual Studio Team System How to get name, value environment variables from GenericTest programmatically

  Hi, How to get Name, value pair of Environment Variables of GenericTest programmatically I can see from the UI, but I can not query from the sql express database. How can I access it from a program is there any API to get it Thanks! Hi, Could you explain a little more about your scenario here like what are you trying to achieve The user defined environment variables can be used on the program name, the working directory and the summary result file path from the Generic Test editor. And also the data is stored in the Generic Test storage file (for example, GenericTest1.GenericTest) Thanks, James VSTS ...Show All

• Visual C++ Class Type Redefinition (C2011) OR Unresolved Token (LNK2020)

  I'm sure there's a simple solution to my problem, I just can't see it right now. I'm breaking up a managed code wrapper DLL into smaller pieces because I'm running up against a memory limit when I try to link the whole thing at once. I've created a BaseDLL with some common classes, and I've created an UpperDLL that has some more classes and also references some classes in the BaseDLL. In the UpperDLL project, if I add a reference to BaseDLL, then I get redefinition errors when the compiler opens an include file for a class in the BaseDLL: SomeUpperClass.cpp ..\SomeBaseClass.h(11) : error C2011: 'CommonNamespace::SomeBaseCla ...Show All

• SQL Server Freeze Panes?

  Is there functionality within the Table or Matrix objects to freeze columns or row headers when you scroll thru a wide or long report Similay to the freeze panes functionality in Excel. Thanks Hi, I got the same problem when I select 'group header should remain visible while scrolling' (for either row or column), I got the error [rsFixedHeadersInInnerDataRegion] The matrix ‘matrix1’ includes a table header or column with FixedHeader set to true. This is not allowed on data regions inside other data regions. I have matrix inside a table which I set FixedHeader to False but still ...Show All

• .NET Development Unable to import namespace; the notorious bug - is it not fixed in .Net 2.0

  The problem discussed in the below link'd article still seems to persist in .Net Framework 2.0. Has anybody else encountered this as well Any practical suggestions Apart from "you can modify all the .xsd and .wsdl files just to get them reverted in the next accidental "update web references" right-click. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx scid=kb;en-us;820122 With 1.1, you had to obtain a patch from support (not downloadable).

• Visual C# Win32 Heaps keeps on Growing

  Hi Guys, We've written a Service Application for importing data into our system. It appears that we have a memory leak since the applications grows and grows and grows until it crashes ( OutOfMemoryException ). Using .NET Memory Profiler 2.6 I found that the Win32 heaps seems to be the culprit. Does any one have any Idea what could be causing this issue Hundreds of things could cause this. Most likely (IMHO) * Calling Windows API functions that directly or indirectly allocate memory, and not cleaning up. * Creating objects and never disposing of them (and keeping references to them in, for ...Show All

• Visual C++ scanf_s debug problem

  Hi, I have just installed Visual Studio 2005 and am upgrading some W32 console programs developed under VS2003. When I compiled them, I got the warning about "scanf" being deprecated. Accordingly, I modified the function calls to "scanf_s" and continued. When compilingg for Release, all works well, but if I compile for Debug, characters from stdin (apart from terminators) are not passed into the program. I knocked up the following to test this - #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> void main( void ) { char Text[16] ; printf( "Text " ) ; scanf_s( "%s" ,Te ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Loading images as embedded resource: How to optimize

  Hi!!! I have a pda application that uses a dll that I made. That dll has some images that i load as an embedded resource, when i run the application, it takes some time t load all images and i can see in the emulator the images loading... What can I do to make the images load at the same time Thanks in advance A useful method of determining the full name of all embedded resources in your assembly is to use GetManifestResourceNames which returns an array of strings containing each resource filename e.g. string[] resourceNames = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames() ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How could I add a Setup or a TearDown procedure in the xxx.webtest?

  How can I add a Setup or a Teardown procedure in the xxx.webtest, not in the xxxCoded.cs I want to prepare some test data for xxx.webtest before it is run and cleanup this test data after the test is done. But I don't want to do it in the xxxCoded.cs because it will be overwritten once the xxx.webtest is modified.
