• Kevin S Won Visual C++.net standard 2003, installer hang

  Not sure where to go to get help with this. The installer spends an hour copying files and updating keys (step 2 of 4), then its window goes blank and it goes totally dead. Only way out of it is to reboot the system. It does this repeatedly. I thought it might be due to reusing the product key (this is a replacement system for one that had a hard-drive crash, and Dell's replacement hard-drives would not boot), but the EULA says I ...Show All

Since I need the users to update the same table and I didn't want to go through the overhead of setting up a table in Oracle, I decided to use an Access database on a server and have the Access application update the table on the server via a webservice by using the Office Webservices Toolkit. The user enters the data on an Access form in the app mdb. When they click "Submit", ...Show All

  I have a request for future versions of MSBuild. A Pause Task that I can use to make MSBuild wait while I attach a debugger. This would help immensly with debugging.

  Hi, I have asked around ASP.NET with no luck, so I am at my wits end with this! Installed VS.NET 2005, really impressed with it. Except that often ( though not always) breakpoints are simply ignored. This makes it next to impossible to debug, as you can imagine! Yes, I am configured for debugging, I am producing the pdb files, I am hitting "some" breakpoints (though there really is no real pattern to identify why I hit some but not al ...Show All

I'd like to get to the CodePath within $(ConfigOptions). I played around with a few variations, but none seemed to work. Are free form XML properties only intended for logging and tasks that actually know how to par ...Show All
