• Ravinder Singh Breakpoint will not be hit. No executable code......

  I have seen some very odd behaviour with the debugger in a large native C++ application we are developing in .net studio 2003. We added a new GUI which is an instance of an ILOG charts GUI and suddenly we could not set breakpoints anywhere in our code. On further investigation, if we maintain all the same project settings (linker/debugger etc) but comment out the instantiation of this new class the breakpoints work fine. If we put the new class ...Show All

• LondonSte Lost Data in VS.Net Crystal Report

  I am new at CR. I have a Crystal report with one detail section. Within it is one subreport, data fields and labels for all of the fields. The report worked fine until I made one change. Because some of the fields can grow, I decided to put the subreport and the flexible fields in their own sections. I created the sections by right clicking on the section header bar and choosing "Insert section below", then moved the fields and trie ...Show All

• Johan Olsson Addins/VSIP?

  Hi,   Here is what I have to achieve. I want my custom menu item in Visual Studio to show up when a particular project type is opened. e.g. The menu item should show up only when I am working with a C# project.

This is not strictly an extensibility problem though; the same error occurs when using the Publish Web Site wizard in the IDE or trying to use the aspnet_compiler.exe directly. Is there a workaround for this issue Si ...Show All

• ImBroken Really Frustrated With VS 2005

  I posted earlier about the fact you cannot get a copy of VS 2005 Pro even though the "launch" was 11/7. I have a Windows app I built using the VS 2005 Beta 2 that I need to update but since I downloaded the new Express editions (thinking they would work - wrong!) all the Beta 2 stuff is gone. OK, I went to my other system (Win XP SP2) and figured I'd install the VS 2005 Beta 2 there and use that until someone decides to "really" relea ...Show All
