• Visual Studio Team System distributed development environment

  Background: We have a distributed development environment and some development is outsourced. We have all the code in team foundation source control. The offshore team does not have access to the server due to firewalls. They ship us the code and we need to merge it into our source control. Question: What is the best way of merging their code into source control We tried the following but did not work: 1) Do a global checkout to my workspace 2) From windows explorer, overwrite all the files(source files as well as project files) 3) Do a checkin. I was hoping that I would be prompted for resolving the changes at s ...Show All

• Windows Forms dataGridView; selecting cells

  When the user presses the enter key, I want the next cell (in the same row) to be selected. How can I achieve this in a dataGridViewControl   Instead of determining the next cell by hand, I found it more convenient to simply reuse the TAB-Key behaviour (basically I wanted to behave the Enter-Key the same as the Tab key): public class HorizontalDataGridView : DataGridView { protected override bool ProcessDataGridViewKey(KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter && moveHorizontally) return ProcessTabKey(Keys.Tab); else return base.ProcessDataGridViewKey(e); } protected override bool Process ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Suite not working -- Beta 2

  I have the foxed VS 2005 Beta 2 with 3 DVDs.  I installed 2 DVDs: VS2005 Team Suite, and SQL Server 2004 CTP.  (The third, Team Foundation Server, required a W2K3 server that I do not have.)   The Team Suite functionality, such as the Logical Designer, does not seem to be present.  I even tried a fixup installation.  This may be ignorance on my part.  What does it take to access or activate the Logical Designer   I don't believe that Team Foundation Server is required.  Or is it I want to use the plain vanilla Visual Source Safe for source control, rather than Change Management from TFS.  Ye ...Show All

• Visual C# CS0184 should be a compile error

  C# "is" operator may return inconsistet result with CLR specifications. So I think warning CS0184 should be a compile error. CLR allows to cast a DayOfWeek[] object to int[] because the undertlying type of DayOfWeek is Int32.   2 4.3 castclass – cast an object to a class Description: The castclass instruction attempts to cast obj (an O) to the class. Class is a metadata token (a typeref or typedef), indicating the desired class. If the class of the object on the top of the stack does not implement class (if class is an interface), and is not a subclass of class (if class is a regular class), then an InvalidCastExce ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to grant access to remote HKLM values without giving away the farm

  What besides hive file permissions and key/value permissions limit a domain user from seeing values in a remote HKLM I am storing configuration information for a complex networked solution in values under Software under HKLM on one computer in the network. Microsoft.Win32 provides nice routines for remote registry access. Until recently everyone using the system has been a domain administrator. But now I have a few folks who are not domain admins and can not read the remote HKLM registry settings. I have tried going in with REGEDT32 to grant this one user various kinds of access to the keys, but still they can not read the r ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I skip a column using tab key in a datagridview

  I have a entry system. If a user enter a itemcode in column1, then the description for that item is displayed in column2. So my next entry is in column3, but I have to press tab twice to get to column3, from column1. How can I move directly to column3 using the tab key Hi, Desperate, You can set the column for “read only” to keep people from typing into it (do this from the “columns” property on the datagridview), but AFAIK there’s no intrinsic way to skip over a column when tabbing. To do this programmatically, you’d really need to do something like track the KeyDown event on the datagrid view, see if th ...Show All
