• Visual Studio VS 2005 unable to start debugging because MSVSMON.EXE failed to start.

  Sometimes I am getting an error when I try to start debugging using VS 2005. A message box comes up saying: "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugging Monitor (MSVSMON.EXE) failed to start. Verify that the remote debugger is properly installed." If I retry starting a debug session, it usally starts up. Why is this happening And since, I assume, Visual Studio 2005 installed the remote debugger, how in the heck am I supposed to verify that the remote debugger is properly installed Am I supposed to know what registry settings, services, or other software need to be present Just what am I supposed to "verify" ...Show All

• Visual C++ How can I sign ActiveX controls/references in VS2005?

  In VS2003 C++, I can configure strong names for ActiveX control references so I can sign and build my main assembly. This is done from the Project Managed Wrapper Properties. But I cannot find an equivalent for this in VS2005 C++. I see properties for references in Project References, but they are grayed out. Is there a way to sign ActiveX controls/references in VS2005 Thanks Hi, I am not sure what dialogs you are looking for. Strong name signing is described in this topics, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xc31ft41(VS.80).aspx . However I am not sure what you mean abou ActiveX control signing ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView Problem

  Hi All, I recently uninstalled VS2005 BETA 1 and installed VS2005 beta 2.  The new beta 2 seems a little more stable, but I ran into the following problems: 1.)   I have a base user control "A", which contains a datagridview.  This user control is inherited by user control "B".  With beta 1 , I can visually add, edit, remove any column in the datagridview using VS2005 IDE designer.  With beta 2, I can't no longer edit the columns interactively using the designer.  Beta 2 only allows us to edit the column on the base level. 2.)  With beta 1, I set the AutoGenerateColumn to false, when my code bind ...Show All

• Visual C# .NET cryptography

  hi there, if i had to use an encryption algorithm such as RijndaelManaged to encrypt my data, what stops other people from just using it again to decrypt my data A full discussion of encryption is beyond the scope of this forum. Besides a quick search on the NET will give you reams of information. However in quick answer to your question there are two types of algorithms: Symmetric and asymmetric. With symmetric algorithms a key and initialization vector (IV) are used to encrypt the data. The key must be kept secret in order to prevent others from decrypting the data. This is actually not easy to do because even if you use some com ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++ 8 Show-Stopper?

  Hi, I'm seeing a speed hit of around 2X when switching to VC++ 2005. It's so serious and effects even the most  basic programs that I can only think I must be missing something. Please help! Building the same (trivial) program onVS 2003 and VS 2005 I'm seeing around a 2x decrease in speed. I'm building for release and in 2005 also setting D_SECURE_SCL=0.

• Visual C# How to detect a row add in a DataTable

  I have the following problem. I have a control which uses a DataTable as data source. However, when a row is added to the DataTable I cannot detect it since there is no event built in. Does anybody know how to know when a row is added. -- Angel Check out the "DataRow" "RowState" member that after adding the row must be "Added", and after being modified "Modified" and so on.  Be clear that if the "AccepteChanges" method is called then the state will change and you will not know if it is was added. Hope that this helps... If not just drop the next issue and we will see what can be done. Eduardo Sobrino, MVP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Recursively files that aren't latest?

  Hi, I am wondering how someone can click on the root of a source tree and be able to recursively generate a list of files that are either checked out to me, or another person, or if they are not the latest. I would like this feature so that I can quickly see what is out of date on my machine compared to what is on the server. Cheers, Clint Print all out of date files, except those checked out to you: tf get /preview Print all files checked out to you: tf status (When you don't give them a filespec, both commands iterate over your entire workspace.)

• SQL Server How to query the date whose value is in text format

  Hello, I get a problem in developing the company report. The column of "BATCH" in Oracle view is shared by all departments that need the different entries, so we have to use "Text" data type for this column in order meet all departments needs. One department uses it as a sample date column. The text entry value is in the format of mm/dd/yyyy. If I do not do the data converting, when I set the query: Where SampleDate between '01/01/2005' and '01/31/2005', the outcome not only include the January data of 2005 but also include the January data from all privious years, because system evaluates the data in text format ...Show All
