• Smart Device Development Emulator softkeys

  I recently upgraded to VS 2005 FC1 and now I have a problem. For some reason, the Windows Mobile 5 Emulator's softkeys are mapped to numeric keys. For example, pressing the left softkey while in the home view will result in a '1' being entered instead of display the start menu. Pressing the right softkey will result in a '2'. Pressing the home and back buttons work. Pressing the Green phone button will result in a '3' and the red phone button in ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Indexing Keeps Indexing and Indexing and Indexing (3 weeks straight). Google Desktop works fine

  Windows desktop search has been indexing for close to 3 weeks straight. It gets up to about 400,000 files indexed with only 3 files remaining, and then it drops back down to about 360,000 with about 40,000 remaining. This happens over and over and over and over and over again and again and again and again. I installed the Google desktop search and it completed indexing in about a day and a half. I prefer to use MS desktop search, but need ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Data Paging in DLinq

  Hello, colleagues. I'm not sure that my quesiton is new for you, but I could not find anything appropriate in the forum. AFAIK, DLink (and likely because of Linq syntax) doesn't provide capability for developer to specify which subset of object list to return - which page. This is the typical scenario for web applications. It would seem to be sensible to add necessary changes to syntax especially because even SQL 2005 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to programmatically access code coverage data?

  Hi, I am working with the unit testing system in Team System for Dev. So far it's been great except for one small issue: programmatic access to results. Our build process (a custom solution that has evolved over the years and is unlikely to be swapped out in the near future) runs our unit tests using mstest.exe. The resulting build email would ideally show both test results (pass/fail, failure details) and code coverage details. At this po ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Find() and Autofit() issues

  I have 2 questions related to the Find() and Autofit() methods: I have a VSTO application that opens an Excel.Workbook wb, goes through all the worksheets via "wsCurrent = wb.Sheets as Excel.Worksheet", and then uses the Find() method on a specific column ("rngFoo = wsCurrent.Columns["A",missing] as Excel.Range") to find a value. I have applied the same logic to different type of columns successfully, except with one because the Find() fun ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems with report fitting to a page when exporting and then printing from Excel

  I have various reports in both portrait and landscape and when I export to Excel although the page orientation works correctly the report does not print correctly in that the right hand side of the report gets chopped. In the report definition I have all the margins set to 0.5cm and the page height set to 29.7cm and the width to 21cm for portrait and the other way around for landscape. In designing my report I have a report width 1cm less to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Extending VS 2005 - Solution Explorer

  I have a solution that builds 150+ dll's.  Is there anyway to extend VS2005 so as the solution is being built each project will get a Green check-mark next to it if it built successfully. Thanks. I guess that it is not possible but as alternative you can create your own toolwindow and suscribe it to build events so that you can for example show the current status of the build adding items to some listvi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Extending the Project Creation Wizard without a new UI screen

  So I've read through the sample code for extending the PCW. I have the code I want to add (Sharepoint code to set NT_AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users to Reader role), but I really don't need a UI screen for it. From what I see, a UI screen seems to be required.
