• Visual Studio Microsoft.VisualStudio.dll distro questions

  Hi, I wish to use the IDesigner for the MainMenu class that apparently lives in Microsoft.VisualStudio.dll. Does anyone know if I can distribute that assembly with my application   It is not listed in REDIST.txt. Does anyone know where I can send an inquiry to Microsoft about distributing that assembly For some reason, the MainMenu designer lives in that assembly, and most of the other designers live in the System... assemblies.  Does anyone know why Thanks, Greg Shaffer Hi Aaron Will there be another Designer for MainMenu for VS2005 Or will the Microsoft.VisualStudio.dll be brought forward We st ...Show All

• Visual Basic Loading Notepad as a Process

  Hi, The code below is for a service that fires every 10 seconds. If it doesn't find an instance of Notepad running, it loads it up. Please note that Notepad is only for a test, the final version of the software will run a program once at 22:00. The problem I have is that Notepad isn't loading fully. I get a Notepad.exe in the task-manager, but despite setting the properties, the actual Notepad application doesn't load for user-interaction! Can someone explain to me what I'm doing wrong please TIA Imports System.ServiceProcess Public Class Service1 Inherits System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase Private _ProcessRunning As Boolean = False #Re ...Show All

• Visual Basic DirectX Samples complaining

  A few days ago I've installed the directx9.0b sdk. I looked through the vb tutorials, and the first 4 seemed to work well. But the rest didn't work, the compiler complained alot about the directx library not containing stuff. Any idea what's going on here I hope I get some answers quickly, Michel EDIT Sorry, the tutorials work, but all the Samples don't. I would hazard a good guess that 1. You havent referenced the DirectX dll - which you need to do by going to the project and Add References 2. Havent specified a imports statement with the correct namespace and are not fully qualifying the ...Show All

• Visual C++ crash problem with release build (vc7.1)

  hi, i have a curious crash problem in release build of my application. it is kind of game platform which integrates several software packages for rendering, physics, in-game gui, etc. the crash happens only sometimes and is not completely reproducable. i have built the app and all dependent libs with multi-threaded option and program data base ( /Zi, and the linker is also instrumented to generate debug info). so when the crash happens i can observe that in most cases two or three of my application threads are trying to either allocate or free memory. the debugger breaks on line : malloc.c, line 211 when threads were trying to allocate ...Show All

• Visual Basic Base Class Events

  Is there going to be support in 2005 for a MustOverride Event in VB.NET or maybe RaiseEvent MyBase.EventName As it is now, you cannot raise a base class event in the form of MyBase.EventName. I know the workaround is maybe to add a method in the base class that raises the event but that doesnt make too much sense to me. Especially when you have an abstract base class but you also have these non virtual/virtual methods thrown in there to raise events in the base class. Maybe I am being picky but I like to keep my abstract base classes abstract and not have these workarounds thrown in to the mix.   Joe Smugeresky wrote: ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I simultaneously display a container and its child controls?

  How do I simultaneously display a container and its child controls I have seen similar posts as this throughout the web and the community, but cannot seem to locate an answer. It seems the regions where controls are laid out are not invalidated by the container and show the window beneath. I see this with switching between forms, but in my case I also see it when switching between tab pages. I have tried setting double-buffering through SetStyle and overriding OnPaintBackground for the controls, the parent container, the tab page... but nothing works. It doesn't matter how many controls are on the form, its just that its a little mo ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Deployment

  Hi, I would like to deploy my VS 2005 CF2.0 Pocket PC application but I don't know how. I found a good article called "Developing and Deploying Pocket PC Setup Applications" at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/netcfdeployment.asp  which decribes how to deploy VS2003 Pocket PC applications but I'm struggling to apply it to VS2005.  One issue is VS2005 seems to be missing "Build Cab File" on the Build menu. Please could someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. Craig Harrison To get a shortcut: 1. In the left pane of the install UI ...Show All

• SQL Server Adding many templates at once

  I can’t find out how to put SQL 2000 templates that I’ve already created into SQL 2005, en masse. I don’t want to put them in one at a time. I’ve got 40 or 50 of them. Can you please direct me to the location I can paste them in and have them show up. I’ve tried this location, where the ones built-in exist: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlworkbenchprojectitems\Sql When I put my own folder in there with my custom templates, they don’t show up and there is no REFRESH button on the Template View.

• SQL Server Measures that depends on other measures

  I want to have a measure that depends on other measures so have I understood it correctly if I sum up my options like this: A) I can make a calculation where I can basically do anything but it gets evaluated every time at querytime. This calculation can either be per query (using with member), per session (create member) or intrinsic to the cube (under calculations) but in each case it's still evaluated at querytime. B) I can create my dependent measure and set it's measureexpression. This way the answer is permanently stored in the cube but I can only use simple binary exps like MeasureA*MeasureB C) I can create my measure with som ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Embed baseline alignment information into a custom control

  Hello, I have designed some custom controls for displaying math equations and now I want to be able to display math equations in Paragraphs. First I was thinking to embed the control in a Figure, but the problem is that I need to align the control with the surrounding text. The alignment should be at baseline if my custom control has one, or if the control doesn't have a baseline (for example a fraction) the alignment should be at center. How can I embed baseline alignment information into my custom control I have read about TextEmbeddedObject but I am not sure if this is the way to do it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
