• Visual Studio Express Editions The resource editor

  I have downloaded Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and it generally appears good but one feature I am missing is the resource editor. Which version of Visual Studio would I need to buy to get the resource editor. Mog0 AFAIK there is no resource editor in the VC++ Express. You need the standard version at least. Maybe its possible to add a exiting resource file into the project and it will compile. AFAIK tis works. ...Show All

• Visual C++ msdia80.dll installed with C++ 2005 Redistributable

  After I ran vcredist_x64.exe on my computer (Windows x64), I have msdia80.dll copied on my C: drive (by the way my Windows is on the D: drive). The equivalent in 32 bits, vcredist_x86.exe, does not have the problem. The installer is version 2.0.50727.42 Anyone has seen this Is there a more recent version available I don't believe msdia80.dll should go directly on the C: drive.

• .NET Development Returning an object from remote server

  Hi all, I have a window service as a remote server. It has a RemotingHelper component registered as a well known service. This component expose a method GetServiceObjec(string serviceObject) which accepts type information and returns the instance of it. The code is some what like this. public object GetServiceObject(string serviceObject) { object serviceInstance = Activator.CreateInstance("MyDataLibrary", serviceObject); return serviceInstance; } My client, an ASP.NET application, requests for the 'RemotingHelper ' component and invokes the GetServiceObject method passing the required type information.

• SQL Server Schema versioning - change schemaLocation, but keep same namespace ?

  Where you have an XSD schema, and want to create a new version of the schema that adds a couple of elements, is changing the schemaLocation hint a sensible way to indicate that an XML document is using a newer version of the schema Or is changing the targetNamespace the way to do this For example: notice the different value for schemaLocation: <mt395 xmlns="urn:incident:mt395" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="urn:incident:mt395 mt395-1.xsd" > <mt395 xmlns="urn:incident:mt395" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" x ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Strange results for Code Coverage for a class using generics

  Hi, I have a very strange result when I run code coverage. The result look like this (as I am not able to post a picture here, please look at http://spaces.msn.com/ralfkret/blog/cns!5AA01457E351459A!116.entry ). As you might notice I have a method "MoveNext" selected in the Code Coverage Result pane. But the class "ObjectConnector" does not have such a method. The code hightlighting in the editor window looks kind of strange to me as well: There are holes punched out of my perfectly good code (;-). Could it be, that there is a problem with code coverage for classes that use generics ralf p.s. I hope you can reach t ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Serial port support

  I am trying to attach the serial port 1 of the emulator to the GPS receiver connected to my desktop. I can either use USB or Bluetooth GPS receivers, and they work fine on the desktop. However I can't seem to get it to work on the emulator USB: setup works (can select port) but no data is transmitted Bluetooth: COMport cannot be opened, setup fails. Are you saying that only plain old serial GPS receivers connected to COM1 on the desktop are supported Didn't they stop producing serial GPS receivers a decade ago FWIW, you may also want to check this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1134808&SiteID= ...Show All

• SQL Server connect to local SQL2000 server from IDE

  Can I connect to a local SQL2000 server from the IDE. I saw the "SQL Server Instance Name" option and tried to change it to both (local) and SQL2K, but it then tries to connect to ./SQL2K etc and fails. I can only seem to (1) connect to a named instance (./namedinstancename), which I do not use. (2) be able to attach a new mdf, rather than connect to an existing db I know that the express edition is restricted to local dbs, but is it also restricted to named instances Thanks If the SQL2k instance is a default instance then you can connect just by using . or (local) or <<machinename>>.

• Visual C# how do i prevent "show desktop" or "windows key+m" from minimizing my program?

  hi, i don't want my program to be on "TopMost" but i also don't want it to minimize. Never. even if i disable the minimize feature, the program can still be minimized by clicking on the "show desktop" icon or pressing Windows Key+M. I'd like to prevent that. Can someone tell me a possible way to do it btw, the "show desktop" button doesn't trigger the 'resize' or 'changesize' event in the form. Thanks, For the heck of it...I tried to to do this with Desawares subclassing ocx. (the best I know of) You can stop the minimize event with this....but WinKey m...will always minimize it.
