• Visual Studio Team System Changing the logged in user

  Hi, I am using team foundation server for workgoups. The server is windows 2003 in a workgroup, we are not using active directories. The initial login to TFS was with the admin account to set up the users. I added all the users but cannot get a login screen. TFS always logs me in as admin. If I change the admin password on the server it gave me a login screen, but when I reset the admin password back to the original, TFS stopped asking for username/password and started logining me in as admin again. Is there any way to get the login screen to reappear short of changing my server admin password Thanks Rebecca ...Show All

• SQL Server Scripting in C#?

• Windows Forms Capture Property not working as expected

  I have created a class that acts as an in-place editor. It is basically a form that contains a textbox. The user passes in the size and then calls ShowDialog. What I want to do is capture all mouse input once the Editor has been displayed so that if the user clicks anywhere outside the textbox the editor will close. To do this I have tried overriding the OnControlCreate method, as well as handling the VisibleChanged event, and setting the Capture Property on both the Form and the Textbox to true. Nothing I have tried delivers the desired effect that the MouseDown event is triggered for the textbox (of form) when clicked outside the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problems loading package

  While probing the DSL tools and figuring out how to use them I came accross an issue that I need to get resolved. The issue has to do with loading the package (and is something I most likely caused by using the same combination of CompanyName.ProjectName on all my samples). Problem is that when I try to debug my DSL the debugger prompts me with the message 'Package Load Failure'. Inside the message are some details regarding my packagename (CompanyName.ProjectName.Designer.MyPackage, CompanyName.ProjectName.Designer) and the GUID. The package names with different GUIDS pop up (as stated I used the same combination on multiple sample proje ...Show All

• .NET Development Slow load of projects in VS.net and how to make StringBuilder analog for arrays marshalling

  1.I want to make a faster load of projects in VS.net. I do remember that this question was discussed on dev forums years ago, but forget solution and can't fonf anything in KB.Though this problem is not critical(it's taking around half a min),but annoing. 2.I am using a 3 party OLE Automation object API2 and using this object in a C# windows form. Some of the functions of this object have output parameters of type out float[] or  out int[]. When I am calling those functions those objects marshalled in a standard wrapper with new arrays on every call,so on every call so they discarded on every call and allocated a new.

• Visual Basic Program Run on Windows Startup

  Is there an easy (well I guess it doesn't even have to be easy) way to allow your program to run on system startup I realize that this can be accomplished by dropping a shortcut into the Startup folder, but are there other ways to do this I want the user to have the option of allowing the program to run at startup so this method of doing this would have to be one that can constantly be changed. Thanks! You'll need to modify some registry entries: Look under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ...Show All

  A while back I installed Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2 Version on my laptop and used it. I now have the latest Visual Studio 2005 Professional and I want to install it but I can't.

I read through most of the messages here to try to find a clue and I've tried several many good suggestions but still with no success. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Single Instance app, Activate

  Using this in Main to enforce a single instance of the app: Dim firstInstance As Boolean Dim safeName As String = Application.UserAppDataPath.Replace("\", "_") Dim mtx As Mutex = New Mutex(True, safeName, firstInstance) If Not firstInstance Then Return End If Application.Run(New Form1) ... But instead of just returning if its not the first instance, I would like to Activate the existing instance's window.

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to Create a New Data File?

  I have an application that uses an Access database to store program data. If I want the user to be able to create a new data file, how would I implement this If I deploy a blank database with the app, is there some way to allow the user to create a named copy of it in any location he chooses Would this situation be better served if I stored the data in an XML file Thanks in advance. Hi, Yes you could include a blank database. You can let the user specify the location, then use the basic file functions to copy the file to a specified location. Then you could connect ther by your OleDbConnection.... &nbs ...Show All

The sp just needs to add a new row or update an existing row with this data. I tried to accomplish this with code somethign like this.

• .NET Development Marshal class in Interop is catching memory errors better

  Since Beta2 came out, I have been trying to do my new development there to test the C# IDE, but not using any 2.0 features so I can still compile on another PC using VS .NET 2003 for production. I was recently testing some interop code that uses P/Invoke calls.  I was allocating a block of memory to represent an array of handles.  I erroneously specified the size of this block as "IntPtr.Size" instead of "nRows * IntPtr.Size".  Running the program under .NET 2.0 caused it to fail on a call to Marshal.FreeHGlobal with the pointer every time, as opposed to compiling and running it under .NET 1.1, where it only failed sporadical ...Show All
