• Windows Forms Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.

  after going from beta2 to rc1, the designer all of a sudden cannot load my forms anymore. instead, i get the infamous window with the red top that says some errors may go away building the project, while other need code changes. needles to say: the file compiles fine, the form could be opened with the beta2 and vs2003 designers and obviously doing a rebuild doesn't help at all. now what the additional error message says; Unable to load one or more of the requested types.

• Visual Studio Express Editions SP2?

  Is there any way I can install Visual Basic Express 2005 on my XP SP1 computer or do I have to upgrade to SP2 Could I just use an earlier version of Visual Basic Express. there is nothing wrong with the way the SP2 PC was setup - for a start thats the only manufacturered PC in my household. and i've checked everything I possibly could. what if people don't want every update included in SP2 they should have the choice. they bought the right to use the software in the first place.

The statement is as follows: INSERT INTO pantscolor_t (procode,color,pic) VALUES ('74251', 'Black', '511black.jpg'), ('74251', 'Charcoal', '511charcoal.jpg'), ('74251', 'Khaki', '511khaki.jpg'), ('74251', 'Navy', '511navy.jpg'), ('74251', 'OD Green', '511odgreen.jpg'); However, when I attempt to execute this statement with Management Studio Express I get the following error: Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2 Incorrect syntax near ','.

• Visual Studio Team System VSSConverter Failures/Flaws

  I am having no luck using VSSConvert to migrate a large VSS database into VSTF.  I could not convert the database in beta 2 and I still cannot convert it in beta 3.  I'm trying to convert a single root project and VSSConverter runs for a few hours then crashes with a Send Error type exception.  Neither VSS Analyze nor VSSConverter analyze reports any errors on the database.  VSS analyze does report several warnings associated with loss of Share/Branch, files still checked out in VSS, and a single "TF60067: Data loss due to folder move warning".  I don't really care about the checked out files right now.&nbs ...Show All
