Using Help&Manual with ClearCase - clearcase

I’m trying to connect a Help&Manual project to ClearCase. Clicking the “Check Version Control System” button reveals
The Version Control Provider DLL connection was successful. The internal version of "ClearCase" is 1.1.
(Written in a reassuringly green color.) However, I tried several ways, and none succeeded: New project, existing project, in dynamic and in snapshot view, checked in and not, checked out and not.
I guess the answer is “does not work”. Could somebody please confirm? Or any other experiences?

That could be heavely dependent on the version of the ClearCase you are using.
A document like "About SCC compliance and Rational ClearCase" only mentions ClearCase 7.0 and 7.0.1, for instance.
If it works with Visual Studio but not with HelpAndManual, the workaround would be to manage the files in a snapshot view through the ClearCase interface directly, instead of through this SCCAPI integration.

Publish Windows form application how change the installation path

I have built one windows forms application and I published for client installation. While installing the setup file, it should ask the user to select the installation directory path; instead, it's installing in default path as below :
C:\Users\Mysys_t\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\434YBBVC.Z2H\TNYPR09N.1JZ
Is there any settings to do this, so that, while installing, user is able to select the installation directory?
In general, the answer is no. See a related MSDN forums discussion among other online references that explains why: ClickOnce was designed to automatically manage installation directories to prevent deployment collisions.
Now...the referenced MSDN forums discussion also links to one way to possibly work around this. Certainly anything is possible with some ingenuity and work (e.g. publishing a setup wrapper with ClickOnce to leverage ClickOnce's auto updates but use indirection to control where your actual app ultimately gets installed); but this is not possible using ClickOnce "straightforwardly".
this can be achieved by

I am getting "myApp stopped working" after installig my WPF(+telerik) application

I created a WPF application using telerik control suite (WPF telerik controls and ORM access control) and SQL Express R2 2008 in VS 2012.
Then I created its setup files (using install shield LE and also Advanced Installer) which works on my win7 system, properly () .but when I install the setup file on any other win7 system, it doesn’t work( I am getting this error: “MyAPP has stopped working”).
I installed .NET framework and SQL Express R2 2008(the service’s status is running) and I also copied the mdf and ldf files related to the database in right path that specified in app.xaml.
When I install my setup files, it just copy my project’s debug folder (contains the telerik control dll files, the dll file related to my ORM access control project, built exe file and etc.). I think that’s enough. Isn’t it?
Edit:
The project's Solution's Explorer:
\bin\Debug
I have no idea what to do.
I would really really appreciate any hint or comment.
Regards,
Hiva
I know this is a very general answer although without knowing the details of your project it's the best I can do. I remember when I was creating an app using telerik controls, when I went to publish it I was getting errors in the with the assembly which was a result of including the obj / Debug / Release folders in my project. I tried everything that people listed to get rid of the errors but the only thing that helped was creating a new project, copying in the code and NEVER including(Never right clicking and hitting include in project) those folders in my project.
Is it working when you debug it?
Could you please let me know what steps you are taking to publish the app ?

Selenium2 WebDriver release notes

I've been looking around to find the release notes for the latest releases but I couldn't find it. Anyone have a link?
Different parts of the project have different logs of the changes between versions. The most comprehensive changelog for the project is the one for the Java language bindings, and it can be found here. Other portions of the project may have their own changelogs, but they are usually limited to changes only within that part of the project. Examples include the changelogs for the .NET language bindings and for the IE driver standalone server.

.NET 4.0 XBAP security issues with GAC

We have a problem since converting our products to .NET 4.0 and using the updated code access security model. Basically we have component libraries that may or may not be installed to the GAC on a machine.
If someone makes an XBAP with default partial trust settings that uses these libraries and an end user installs the XBAP (which deploys the libraries during its install), it works fine if our libraries weren't already in the GAC.
If they were in the GAC, the XBAP will fail at run-time with security exceptions. I believe the problem is due to this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970906.aspx
When managed assemblies are installed into the global assembly cache (GAC), they become fully trusted because the user must provide explicit permission to install them. Because they are fully trusted, only fully trusted managed client applications can use them.
It seems that since they get pulled from the GAC, their security is elevated more even though they are the exact same .dlls deployed with the XBAP. But in that case, everything breaks.
Is there any way to work around this issue short of adding the AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute to all the libraries?
Or is there a way to prevent an XBAP from looking in the GAC for an assembly and just using the exact copy of the reference it is deployed with?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
In visual studio, solution explorer, click on the reference and try setting the property "SpecificVersion" to true. It should just look in the path specified and the version specified when referencing and not go hunting for the latest in the GAC.
See .net reference specificversion true or false?
Note that if you add a new version of your reference, you'll have to remove your current reference, it won't automatically replace it.

VS 2008 WinForms with SourceSafe

We are using Visual Studio 2008 to develop a winforms application stored in Visual Source Safe 2005.
If one of our team members changes a *.Designer.cs file without changing the form's source file the change doesn't appear during a "Get" operation. However, if in Visual Studio you run a compare on the *.Designer.cs file the differences are displayed in the difference viewer.
FYI: We are using the default Microsoft Visual SourceSafe plug in for Visual Studio.
Any ideas why the "Get" operation will not detect changes in the *.Designer.cs files and suggest we pull down the latest version?
Thanks for your help!
Designer files are not intended for manual manipulation. One of the chief incentives for adding partial classes to the popular .Net languages was to segregate the designer-generated code from manual user code, in fact. Manual manipulation of repeatedly-generated code (in pretty much any environment, not just visual studio) is asking for headaches.
What changes are you making to the designer file, and why is it not possible to make those changes to the non-designer source file?
Edit:
Is the project in the IDE properly bound and connected to the source control database (via File->Source Control->Change Source Control)? It should automatically be checking out the designer files when changes are made in the designer view.
I would try doing a Get manually through VSS Explorer (i.e. not through Visual Studio) and see if it works. If not, check to see if the file is pinned to a previous version.
Woe unto you for having to use SourceSafe. At my last job, we used SourceSafe and had a myriad of problems with it. We switched over to Surround SCM and were really happy with it. I'd never heard of it before that job.
To answer your question, any time I ran into a problem like this with SS, I'd do a "forced get": in the options dialog when you get latest, tell SourceSafe to get the latest version from the server regardless of whether it thinks the file is up to date.
Edit: I think the issue is the VS200X plugin for VSS. If you have the VSS standalone application you should be able to do a forced get from there. I now remember having to do this so often that I stopped using the VS200X plugin.
