• Manni Use Visual Studio 2005 or use VBA in Access or Excel?

  I am looking for some direction as to how to begin a new project. I am wondering if it would be better to try and use Access or Excel along with VBA to do this project of if I should use VS.NET 2005. What I would like to do is make a proggy similar to QuickBooks. When I downloaded QuickBooks and ran it on trial, I noticed it looked like someone took Access and created a custom form for it. I want the program to be able to keep track of ...Show All

• FocusedWolf Web Form Reset Method

  I'm trying to find the equivilant of the reset method on the Web forms report viewer.  The problem that I run into is that I attempt to change the data and then refresh the local report but the reports contents don't refresh.  On the window forms side I simply call the reset method. Well, you can do what I do and have it pop up in a new window each time.  Other then that apparently this problem " ...Show All

• SIDVIRGOSTER Usercontrol Nightmare

  I do not know what I am doing wrong but I am starting to pull my hair out. I am using VS and EID to create a quite complex UI, and I am trying to use usercontrols to encapsulate as much as I can. However... Any user control I create and put on a window or page either never renders and just shows up with the classname of the usercontrol in the top left corner, OR when you place it on the page in EID it says "Cannot instantiate <ClassN ...Show All

• R Lind Debug with external program extremely slow in VS2005

  Running in debug mode via an external program is incredibly slow. This is true wether I use the debug property "Start External Program" or try to attatch to a running process. Using a bare-bones basic test dll designed to be loaded and run by NUnit I find that "Run without debugging" (or running the program from outside VS2005) runs in seconds, whereas "Start debugging" takes 5-6 minutes. And thats not even to get s ...Show All

• Jonathan Green Strongly-typed member references

  A major objective of C# and perhaps .NET in general is the reduction of weakly-typed constructs.  Delegates are a prime example of this trend. I would like to discuss the possibility of strongly-typed references to non-method members (method references are made possible thru delegates).  It is not a LINQ issue per say but this appears to be the primary C# 3.0 forum. Consider the [Association] attribute proposed for DLINQ: [ Table (Na ...Show All

• Allen Feris regpkg & wix

  Hello, just simple suggestion: add /wxsfile (or simmilar) into regpkg tool for generating registry lines into something, wix could include (via <include>). reg file is handy, but not directly loadable by wix (afaik). Thanks! BTW: I really begin to like VSIP. Mine second day with it, and slowly falling in love :) I'm sorry, that site have some problems with direct links. Try this one instead (no direct link either... :-\ ...Show All

• igloo iguana Why is interacting with Visual Studio so clumsy?

  I recently downloaded the VS2005 SDK (formerly VSIP), and I was extremely disappointed by the whole thing. Why is it so difficult to build an add-in Why do I have to know about the different interfaces, and why can't I access strongly-typed property classes You guys should really take a look at Jamie Cansdale's ManagedAddin framework. It's so easy to use. You specify the menu navigation commands in a hierarchial XML format. You create stand-alo ...Show All

  So an idea I might test later tonight:  can an object define implicit casts to IEnumerable<specific type> such that the following is resolvable: datastore = Some Datastore with Customers, Orders, Products, etc foreach (Customer c in datastore) { .. } foreach (Order o in datastore) { .. } foreach (Product p  in datastore) { .. }   or must it be explicit Of course, in the above example, each source within the da ...Show All

• Brett Riley WsDualHttpBinding fails if subscriber forgets to unsubscribe

  OK, I have a WsDualHttpBinding... all is right with the world... However, if a subscriber forgets to unsubscribe the service does what you expect and tries to callback a non existent subscriber... The service is hosed at that point though because it seems the exception happens in the channel and does not recover. I tried trapping on my side so that I get do the unsubscribe myself, but it never gets to that code... As a result no subscr ...Show All
