• Visual C++ System::Console::WriteLine in Windows Forms Application

  When I try to use the System::Console::WriteLine( ) function in my Windows Forms application to display debugging information the output never seems to display. As per the advice of another forum thread I tried adding: #include <windows.h> to stdafx.h and AllocConsole(); before calling WriteLine() This solution works, but it's not ideal. Ideally I would like to see the output displayed in the "Output - Debug&q ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Let's go to work on an FAQ for this Forum

    The concerted work that goes on here in really impressive. I'm also thinking about a mass mailed note I received from S. Somesegar, corporate VP of Microsoft development. He said that MS Engineers were not alone in building VS2005. Customers had a lot  to do with it to make it as neat as it is.

• SQL Server Materialized View Doesn't Materialize. (and queries on MVs ignore index hints)

  I am creating and indexing a view. The index does materialize physically (i think -- since sp_spaceused now returns values -- not nulls) But any query searching the view does NOT use the materialized index. Here's an example: -- Create/Populate test table create table test ( i int constraint PK primary key ) insert test select 1 union select 2   -- Create View set ansi_nulls , ansi_padding ...Show All

However, when I tried to get this done, I could not manage it. The problem I have to deal with is that my colleagues and I work together on the same source (I think that is what has to be done with SourceSafe/TS ). Whenever we change something and check in our source, the new source has to be used. When I che ...Show All
