• Visual Studio Express Editions Updating the database

  I am asking a pretty common question it seems. Yes, I did look and do see the existing posts/responses. My problem is that I am not seeing the database actually get updated with new data. It seems fine at runtime, but if I shutdown the app and check the Db it is not getting back to the table. I also added some code from one of those VB for dummies books to help check that the update worked and it claims it is. I must be a different kind ...Show All

• Windows Forms Registry Keys are removed during uninstall

  During an uninstall, the registry-keys created by the installation are removed even when the property "DeleteAtUninstall" are set to false on all Keys. I found out (it is written in MSDN, but i didn't read properly ), that if there are values defined in the key, the key is always deleted at uninstall, even if the property "deleteAtUninstall" is set to false for the key.

• Visual C# XML Auto Code Documentation

  What happened to the code commenting generation that was in VS 2003 under the tools menu All I have found in the documentation is reference to a command line to create an XML document! That feature's gone. Microsoft no longer provides a way to generate documentation from XML comment files. You need a third-party solution, like NDoc (version 2.0 currently in alpha). Please check the Documentation & Help foru ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do I exclude unit test code from code coverage for a C++ static library?

  I'm doing unit test on native C++ projects with VSTS 2005. To get the code coverage of a DLL, I can select the DLL project for instrumentation so the code coverage is purely product code. However, for code coverage data of a static library, I must select the test project which calls the static library. The code coverage data of test project files are also included. Is there a way that I can exclud ...Show All
