• Visual Basic Class Reflection Problem

  I am trying to make my application save its data files as XML. The problem is this: Part of the data to be saved is a collection. Collections, apparently, can not be reflected in the System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.Serialize() method. So I tried List(Of...), and that doesn't give me the index functionality that I need. I reference the collection by key, which is a randomized number converted to hexadecimal. List(Of...) doesn't give me ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System h status oddity

  This seems like a bug to me.  Let's say I have two users (John and Jane) and John has a file checked out in a subdir C:\Proj\Foo\Bar\baz.cs.  Jane then tries to see if any of the files in C:\Proj\Foo\Bar are checked out by other users so she executes: h status . /user:* Hmm it says there are no changes.  However, if she executes: h status /user:* It shows that John is editing the file.  The bummer is if this is ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I total a sub group like in Crystal

  I'm converting some crystal reports and can't seem to find a function in SRS that does totals by group. Here is the crystal function:          Sum ({rdo.TimeWorked},{rdo.JobID} ) It takes the sum of time worked for each job id. I tried using RunningValue with a scope but that didn't work because I'm not grouping by Job ID in my report. If it helps here is what I'm trying to do. Snapshot of data: Weekday ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFSVC API - Workspace.Get and GetOptions Enum

  I'm working with the Workspace.Get() method and I see that it takes a parameter of type GetOptions. I also noticed that the values for this Int32 enumeration seem to be bitmasks. Would I be safe in assuming that I can add these together and pass them to Workspace.Get() I would like to get a set of file, force download even if I already have them, and overwrite any files found in the local folder. Would the code snippet below work Example ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to update AssemblyInfo only on Release builds?

  I've installed the AssemblyInfoTask and I am able to automatically update my assembly versions using the major.minor.YYMMDD.revision versioning scheme. This is great - exactly what we want. I also understand that my assemblyinfo.cs file needs to be read/write for this to happen, and if I am executing my build from a command line (we use nmake), this is no problem.  I just have the makefile check out the file from source control befo ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista StateMachine / Tracking Service / Not Logging Final State Change

  Hi, Using WWF Beta 2 (Jan CTP). In reviewing tracking history for a statemachine workflow, the final statechange doesn't seem to be logged or it's not being returned via SqlTrackingWorkflowInstance.UserEvents with UserDataKey of "StateActivity.StateChange". I'm using the default tracking profile and have tested against a few different workflows. The workflow status itself is completed. One note is that the final workflow does not have ...Show All

• SQL Server Fail Execute Process Task based on batch file ERRORLEVEL?

  I am new to this, but have scoured the web and not found an answer to my question... I have an execute process task that runs a simple batch file. When this batch file completes with an ERRORLEVEL greater than 0, I would like the task to fail. I thought this simply meant setting the "FailTaskIfReturnCodeIsNotSuccessValue" property to true, and setting the SuccessValue to 0. However, this does not appear to work. Even with a simp ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I splt a string into a StringCollection in 2005

  I am working on an EDI project where I have read a number of files into a string. I know each segment is terminated with "~". In vb 2003 I just did a a split on the string and it created an array of rows. This was all done in one line of code. Is there a way do do this in 2005 using the Collections.Specialized.StringCollection. I have read where this collection should speed up the process. If it is an insignificant amount then I'll stick with an ...Show All
