• Visual C++ Question(s) about msvcr80.dll and other VS2005 dll's end users need to run compiled applications

  I know if I link against the DLL runtime( msvcr80.dll) then it must be avaliable on my end users computers. I can just compile a static copy of the CRT into my application, or I can just distribute the DLL with my app and everything should be fine. Lastly perhaps a MSI package that has the DLL packaged. My main concern is -should I be doing this- Is there some update method (Windows Update) that carries the new VS2005 dll's to end users or shou ...Show All

• Windows Forms Needed: tutorial with VS2005/MSBuild, Dotfuscator CE and satellite assemblies

  ClickOnce has great potential, but it turns out to be poorly documented when like me... - you want to obfuscate your application (a sensible requirement for a commercial application), for instance with Dotfuscator CE - you want to localize your application (again, a sensible requirement) - you prefer VS2005 settings and MSBuild over Mage command lines (a sensible requirement if MSBuild is to become our unique build tool) What would b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System acceptance test in VSTS

  Hi, I'm trying to do acceptance tests to an ASP application using the test tool of VS Team System, but I don't know what kind of test I should use. I have tried using WEb tests but they don't offer enough resources to implement the acceptance tests. I want to check that the value of a Datagrid's field is right. In addition, I have worked on the available validation rules and their range of possibilities is very reduced and they don't f ...Show All

I think that, maybe, I need to override some method but I can't figure it out what method. Thanks in advance. Can this custom activity designer also be set up to be a drop ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System True or Not? ("Team System like trying to take a 747 jet to McDonalds")

  "Personally, I think Microsoft made a mistake in setting expectations when they originally said Team System was designed for teams of 5 or more people.  I suppose Microsoft will eventually refine this product to the point where it is more appropriate for smaller teams.  But right now and for the indefinite future, it is inconceivable to me that a 5 person team would want to install and use this thing.  I envision 5 people try ...Show All
