• Visual Studio Error Message "Could not load file or assembly, 'VSlangProj, Version 7.0.3300.0 ...

  I have copied a VS.Net 2005 C# Solution from a windows 2000 machine, to an XP machine, and worked on it on the XP machine.  When I tried to work on the project when it was copied back to the 2000 machine, I got the error message shown above when I tried to open any Form in the Solution. It's ok after all, the problem was that Visual Studio crashed and trashed a directory structure.  After a scan disk, everything was working again. ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I get Local help after installing VS 2005

  I have just installed VS 2005 from 2 discs. I am not sure MSDN library files come with VS 2005 or not. My IT person gave me only 2 discs and he thinsk MSDN library comes only with MSDN subscription. Now question is how do I get local help Am I suppose to get MSDN for VS 2005 with VS 2005 professional discs Can I download local help If yes from where Thanks.

• Visual Basic VS 2005 RTM Weird Editor Behavior

  I'm using the VB Editor in VS 2005 RTM version and every so often it starts misbehaving and I have to close all editor windows to get working properly again. What happens is that as soon as I type a single letter at the beginning of a line it immediately appends open and close parens. So for example if I want to type an If statement, as soon as I type 'i' it changes it to i(). If I backspace to delete the parens it puts them back in. Zisha, I moved your thread to the VB IDE forums.  They should be able to assist you better here. Thanks, Dylan ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Class Diagrammer - Disappointed

  I will start by saying that maybe I should wait a bit before making my first post on beta 2, until I have explored some features more fully, but I must say, that at first blush, the class diagrammer seems a bit amateurish.   I eagerly awaited the integrated class modeling in Vs.Net 2005. While I do like the fact that the code is updated dynamically as you modify you model I find some features, that I am used to in 3rd pary UML tools seem to be sorely lacking, unless I just missed them. Also is there any other UML capabilties other then just class diagrams   Surely there must be. If not, I don't see how this can be targete ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can vb express be used wiht a datbase created in access 2002 and does it interface with odbc?

  I'm not sure If I phrased my question right yesterday. I want to use vb express with a database created in access. I don't need my forms, etc from ms access. Also is there an odbc interface so that I can use other databases other than MS SQL server 2005 I was a little surprised when I saw MS SQL 2005 advertised with vb express because for over 10 years vb was associated with ms access. Is this because of .net ( I know nothing about .net.) I'm a former unix/c programmer just trying to update some skills. Thanks. .Net and the MDAC allow you the programmer to connect to any ODBC compliant databa ...Show All

• Smart Device Development NetworkStream with WriteTimeout not supported in WM 5?

  .NET CF 2.0, Windows Mobile 5 Hi, I would like make a write timeout function for tcp connection. I use TCPClient at which the attribute SendTimeout is not supported by CF 2.0/ Windows mobile 5 yet. On the other hand, networkstream - WriteTimeout shall be supported on synchronous write operations. However, it throws an InvalidOperationException, if I want set/get the attribute. This is what I found in the documentation: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.networkstream.writetimeout.aspx Isn't the Networkstream of a TCPClient a "normal" NetworkStream Or how can a make a TimeOut-Function Thank ...Show All

• .NET Development Saving configuration settings in .NET 2.0

  I am playing a bit with the new Configuration classes in .NET 2.0. I want to change something in my configuration-file, and save these changes back to disk. For instance, I have this code: Configuration c = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration (ConfigurationUserLevel.None); KeyValueConfigurationElement el = new KeyValueConfigurationElement ("test", "testvalue"); c.AppSettings.Add (el); c.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Minimal), false); At runtime, I can then access this new element 'test' from my configuration.

• Visual Studio Team System Reports node in Team Explorer sticks at Working...

  I'm running TFS beta 3 refresh in a dual-server installation. I had a lot of problems getting Sharepoint working again (see my other threads) - that may have something to with what I'm seeing now. Per the migration instructions, I went into the report server and manually created all of the reports for my projects.  I made all of the necessary configuration changes and tested every report. In my project portal sites, reports do appear in the report placeholders (although they're all showing no results, but that's probably something else). The thing that's not working is the Reports node in the team explorer.  It sticks a ...Show All
