• Visual Studio Team System Team projects on a separate server?

  I have set up our Team Foundation server so that it we can use SSL to access it from the internet.  However, we can only use standard ports, such as 443 and 80 to access it.  Even 8081 is blocked.  So, it is currently set up so that the Team Foundation Server web site is accessible using 443, and the project portal is not accessible at all.  We have another server that has WSS on it, so it was proposed that we use that server to the sharepoint portal.  Does this seem like something that is possible   By udpating the registration entries using tfsreg.exe (similar to this post, updating only the entries for wss), ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Three problems with Team Build: read-only paths, missing include paths and huge checkouts

  Hi, I hope you can help me with this problem: I set up a Team Build-Server. Basically, it works, my small test-project is building fine. But with our real C++-application there are some problems: - Some of our projects are generating libs as output-files and have a common folder set as the folder where the final .lib should be stored. This folder is not under source-control, because it is empty. Now, when one of these projects is built, it tries to create this folder but it fails, because its parent-folder is read-only. I created a work-around and checked this empty folder in. But I think that's not very nice. - Our projects requ ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why should I care about WS-ReliableMessaging?

  I've been trying to understand exactly why I should care about reliable service calls via MSMQ. Now I understand that TCP/IP and HTTP are not 100% reliable methods for transport but would it be safe to say that when considering an intranet solution that ReliableMessaging is almost never really worth the effort I will admit to being somewhat ignorant to the drop rates of typical web service / http calls so if someone could either quickly educate me or point me to some good reading materials I would be very appreciative. Another factor in this discussion is the idea that simply building in re-try logic for your web service call might handle ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TeamBuild fails with <assembly>.xml in SCC

  I have a project which generates XML documentation during all compile-flavours. This project is included as a reference of a web-project. This causes all related files (including the XML file) to be copied to the /bin dir of that web - and as a result, also to be checked into SCC. during TeamBuild, MSBuild is not able to copy over the newly generated .XML file of that DLL-Project, which causes TB to fail. I consider this a bug. A possible workaround is to not generate XML documentation in the VS-IDE so it is not checked into SCC. Here the error message: c:\Projekte\Build\WZ.BL.SingleSignOn\SingleSignOn-DEV\Sources\WZ.BL.Sin ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Degraded performance when debugging MDX1.1 applications in VS2005 compared to VS2003

  Hello, I've noticed that when I'm debugging MDX1.1 applications in VS2005, they achieve a significantly lower framerate than when debugging them in VS2003. The performance decrease differs per application and seems to be somehow linked to the use of HLSL effects, as applications that use the Fixed Function Pipeline do not suffer this decrease. This morning I witnessed an extreme case of this problem with a little game that renders multiple meshes using HLSL effects. It achieved a lowly 60fps when I ran it in debug from VS2005, whereas it achieves a 550fps framerate when I just run the debug exe from Windows Explorer ...Show All

• SQL Server Iterating Data Movement

  Hi all I am wanting to continuously monitor a source table throughout the day and as data becomes available, process it and insert it into one of a number of tables. I have tried achieving this using a FOR LOOP and setting the halt condition such that it is not stisfiable. However, this has a couple of problems: 1) It runs in a tight loop and consequently degrades system performance enormously. 2) I can't get transactions to work. I would like each iteration of the loop to spawn a new transaction under which the tasks in the loop can run. Therefore, if one of the tasks fails during such an iteration, only the updates affected by ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dragging an UserControl

  Hello, I have a bit of a situation. I have a UserControl which I will want to drag around a panel, I've found many tutorials on dragging things into controls, but I actually wish to change the X,Y location of the control. I've tried using this: ...    customControl. MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler (DragIt); } public void DragIt( object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {    customControl. Location = new Point (e.X, e.Y); }   But it would only drag when its clicked, and wouldn't simulate a real drag across the screen. If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it. :) ...Show All

• Visual C# Accessing properties dynamically

  Hi folks Newbie question - please be kind! I want to access properties dynamically. I have the property name as a string "MyProp", and I want to  get the value myClass.<MyProp> . My background is in dynamic languages where you would simply eval() a string to do this kind of thing. How is it done in C# I don't have a lot of time to spend on this, so I'd appreciate any pointers... You need to use reflection to do that. Let's say you have an instance of your class, myClass: Type type = myClass.GetType(); PropertyInfo info = type.GetProperty("MyProp"); object value = info.GetValue(myClass, ...Show All
