• Visual Studio Help crashes Visual Studio 2003

  I am a computer science major at a university that has Visual Studio 2003 available through the MSDN academic alliance. I installed VS without the MSDN library for an assignment and everything was great, then when I later tried to install the library it won't work. If I try to directly open the library, a message comes up saying "updating help..." then Document Explorer crashes. If I open VS the same message comes up and the whole program crashes. I can get to VS by clicking on a file that is normally opened by it, but as soon as I do anything that changes settings or causes the help update message to come up, it crashes. I downloa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Redo a build?

  Hi, I have a very stupid question, but certainly very important and usefull :-) How can you redo a specific build with team foundation server It is possible to get a specific version based on label on the client side or on the TF server, but I don't see how to say "Get that version and build again it!" :-) Thanks in advance, Steeve PS: Well in fact I can see a "non easy and manual way": 1. Create a specific build type specifcally for that where Sources are never retreived from TF (using some skip properties), Labelling is not performed, Work items should not be updated. 2.

• Windows Forms BindingSource.ResetBindings()

  I am developing an app with one function being tracking student attendance to classes my company teaches. I want to be able to add new students in a child-form, and then select the student in a combo-box column of the datagridview on the parent-form. On save of the child form I am using: ActivityForm.AttendeeBindingSource.ResetBindings() But it is not successfully updating the parent form with new attendees added. Any advice on how I can refresh the control on the parent-form would be much appreciated. If anybody could help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. If my description is unclear p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ListView sorting question

  Hi I have a ListView control called HSlist on a form which has 3 columns. The adding data seems to work OK, but the sorting is weird to say the least. Initially, I thought that the list would be sorted on the contents in the first column, so I added to the ListView with the Item containing the data that I wanted the list to be sorted on (numerical). Then I found that the list was being sorted on the second column (strings), so I swapped the adding routine so that the numerical data was now in the second column - the list now was being sorted on the first column (strings). What I want, is either to be able to dictate which column the ...Show All

• Visual C# Print Solution

  Is there a way to print an entire C# solution or do you have to select one file at a time and print Thanks Steve 1)  C# doesn't have optional parameters, only VB.NET does.  This is why you'll often see far more methods in a C# project than a VB.NET project. 2)  You are correct, you could not have 2 methods of the same name both with a String as a parameter.  Each method would need a different set of parameters. ...Show All

• SQL Server Developer Edition & Express Edition

  Can you install both of these on the same Windows XP Pro computer If I don't want to install the Express Edition what is the best way to make an application developed with Express Edition work with Developer Edition If someone could point to some articles or documents that explains this in detail I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Express and Developer can install side-by-side. Application should be developed Edition agnostic. However, there is a feature in Express (User Instances) that is not available in other Editions. Keep an eye on MSDN for new content. Dan http://blogs.msdn.com/dtjones ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Office Accelerator

  I have been asked to implement Office Accelerator for Recruiting - which is like a ton of bricks to me because I am not sure where to start. After combing through MS web sites and stuff it seems to me that the Accelerator is a framework that implements (as far as UI) a Sharepoint or Portal solution. The solution is "not an out of the box" and uses templates, guidelines, fragments... ... from exposed MS code developed in C# using XML (taking advantage of the .NET framework). So, although my semantics may be a bit off, if I am correct in the above then I suppose the next steps would be a) Learn how to program with the Sha ...Show All
