• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Convert SQL to DLINQ

  Currently I write my sql in Query Analyzer and once I am happy, I paste it into the code. With DLINQ, it is different enough that I cannot do this easily. If you can write a tool or special copy/paste action that converts SQL into DLINQ code, it would help a lot. Not only would it make me more productive, it would be useful in teaching people how to write DLINQ code. I know it probably cannot account for all SQL, but if you cover the basic select statements it would be enough. Jonathan Strangely enough, we have someone attempting to do just that. I can't yet claim that it will end up as ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Will DLinq fully support objects-first development?

  Microsoft: 1. Will DLINQ be able to a parent-child relationship without having to write a ParentId property in the child class 2. Will DLINQ be able to map dictionaries (not just sets) 3. Will DLINQ be able to map nested classes properties in the same table as the class 4. Will DLINQ support all inheritance mapping strategies (class table, single table, concrete table) and be able to mix strategies at different levels 5. Will DLINQ eventually be able to do all things that (N)Hibernate does well (with the added benefit of LINQ's type safety and intellisense) in a objects-first style development Or will DLINQ be another table ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Possible to unmap a file in a workspace?

  Can you unmap a file in a workspace so the server does not think the latest version has been retrieved I need to basically be able to do a "Force get" type operation on an MS Access database using the MSSCCI provider with the MS Access Source Control plugin. However, I don't see a way to do this using the MSSCCI provider, and you cannot simply just "Force get" the file using Source Control Explorer because Access has to do this for it to understand the database. Can you simply unmap the file Unmapping the folder does not work. The only thing I've found that works is deleting and recreating the workspace. BTW I'm ...Show All

• Visual Basic visual basic Label number as a variable

  Is there a way to assign a variable to a label number for i = 1 to 10 label(i).Text = Name next i or something like that Bruce You can build an array of labels, or use the Controls collection already on your form to look for labels ( you can identify them by name or the Tag property, if you set it ). If label was a list into which you'd passed the 10 labels you want to set, and Name was the text you wanted to put on all the labels, the code you posted would work. ...Show All

• .NET Development Combine Visual Studio with Access

  Hi All, I have an app developed in Visual Basic 2005 connected to an SQL Server 2005 database (both Express editions). What I would like to do is create an Access .adp connected to the same SQL Server 2005 database. It seems however that Access (I have 2002) does not support developing against SQL Server 2005. Never mind, I can use Visual Studio or SQL Server management studio 2005 to make changes to the database, and I can connect the .adp file to the database and make data changes. However when i open the .adp file i get a connection error when trying to run the VB app and I need to run both simultaniously. Is this due to some ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF with "raw TCP" clients?

  Hi All, I have been working on a custom Encoder to work in conjunction with the TcpTransportBindingElement (i.e. tcp transport) to communicate with "raw tcp" clients (i.e. the byte stream to/from the client is neither soap nor xml). The current obstacle is that the ReadMessage method in my encoder is not "firing". I presume it is because the transport is not receiving something it recognizes as a message terminator. I would appreciate if someone would point me to material on the internal workings of the WCF Tcp transport. Also, it is important for me to know if I cannot use the tcp transport that ships with WC ...Show All
