• Windows Forms Some labels cut off at 2/3 height on some computers

  Hi there, We're developing a windows app.  Amongst other things, we're displaying two labels on a form.  Another dev created these, and set the height of the labels to 13px.  The forms display fine on his computer, but on my laptop only the top two thirds of the text is shown, and the bottom third is invisible.  When I set the label height to 19px, I can see the entire label. My question is why would this be different on his computer and mine   It's very frustrating. My laptop is also reasonably new (Acer Ferrari 4005 if it makes any difference) and I have experience this problem in another couple of apps I use, that ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is the VS 2005 CRTL compatible with Win95?

  We have received reports that the latest version of our application (compiled using VS 2005) crashes on Windows 95.  We have made some changes in our app, but nothing that we would expect to cause incompatibilites with Win95.  We installed a test PC with Win95, and sure enough the app crashes on startup.  Unfortunately, dbghelp.dll can't be loaded on Win95, so there's no possibility to make a minidump.  What to do   We asked the customer to upgrade their PCs to something more recent, but they said it's not possible in the near-future. Could it be the VS 2005 C/C++ runtime library that is causing the problem ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions SQL 2005 .NET 2.0 and C# 2005 Express

  Does anyone here know how to get V C# 2005 Express b2 and .net Framework 2.0.50727.26 to play together I've been trying for the past few days to get these all working together.  I've installed C#; which installs SQL 2005 Express (April), and .NET Framwork 2.0 Beta 2 .  When I try to upgrade to SQL 2005 (Sept), it requires the .NET Framework 2.0.50727.26 (See URL for instructions-- http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=6E4AAC3A-9D85-4734-B1FD-318FB83B0D29&displaylang=en). So, when I install that version of the .NET Framework (new version of SQL won't work with the version that comes with C#), C# can't run my ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder Error When Running Report

  Hello everyone, I've come across an unusual error on some of our machines. I'm trying to track down why only certain ones will give an error. I thought it might have something to do with .NET 2.0 not being installed, but I assume that they wouldn't even be able to launch Report Builder if this is the case. I'm at the point now where I've been told these machines have .NET 2.0. I plan on trying to verify soon, but I thought I'd get everyone's opinion on what it could be. With even the simplist report (just 1 field dragged onto the report) the following error appears: "Report execution error The report might not be valid or the serv ...Show All

• Visual C# Deploying C# App. Using a Third-Party Installer

  What/where do I check to see that my .NET prerequisites are installed I'll be using a 3rd party installation program, as clickonce is too limiting for what I need in this particular project. But, I will be distributing the prerequisites on the install CD so my users won't have to d/l it. The prerequisites that I need to check are: .NET Framework 2.0 Windows Installer 3.1 SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Thanks for the help!

• Visual Studio Microsoft.Common.targets should provide means of diverting final .pdb location

  We've long had the practice that we always produce full symbols for all of our builds. For developer builds we let the .pdb files sit next to the executable that they're for, but for production builds we shunt them all off to a "symbols" directory and from there they may be archived and copied off to various useful places. One of those places would be our own symbol server in order to faciliate both live and postmortem debugging of our commercial builds. The practice of always producing full symbols is endorsed by the "Framework Design Guidelines" as I recall. At any rate, we craft our projects to set "OutputP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Forcing a break on __debugbreak()?

  I call __debugbreak() in Visual C code in Visual Studio 2005 to force a break in certain instances.  However, when I hit the call to __debugbreak() while running under the debugger, Visual Studio always displays a dialog that says: MyApp.exe has triggered a breakpoint. with Break , Continue , and Ignore buttons (the Ignore button is disabled).  I always have to press the Break button to break into the debugger, which is kind of annoying. Is there anyway to tell Visual Studio that it should always break into the debugger in this case   I couldn't find an option anywhere for this. I beli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Linker error

  Hi all! I'm using Visual C++ Express Edition. When I try to compile a Windows Form Application, I obtain an error saying that the linker is unable to find the file "MSVCURT.lib". I've searched in my hard disk, but I haven't found this file. What is the problem Thanks in advance. Marco Minerva, marco.minerva@tiscali.it You probably had an installation problem. I believe the file should be at Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\lib\msvcurt.lib. Try re-installing and see if this installs the file on your machine. Thanks,   Ayman Shoukry   VC++ Team ...Show All

• .NET Development From vb express beta 1 to beta 2 "my.settings" disapeared....

  Hi, I updated VB express 2005 to the Beta 2 version and have a problem with an application I built with the beta 1 version. The program is unable to use or save "my.settings". Under my project properties, when I click on "settings" the program tells me that no current default file exists... Has anybody an idea regarding this problem Thank you... John The name of the default settings file was changed from "MySettings.settings" between beta1 and beta2. I don't have a VB Express installation in front of me, but this will hopefully fix up things for you: 1) Make sure you have a backup of your project (copy the whole folder to somewhere ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions IIS not Cassini

  Hi I'm used to using VS2k3 and was developing an ASP 1.1 site that I decided to turn it over to web developer express, however, the whole setup is completely different than what I'm used to - I really need to get right up against my trad XP Pro IIS 5.0. Is there anyway to de/recouple them, i.e., cassini from web developer express   I'm sure you guys considered the risk of even frivolous 'at' actions and devised some means of accomplishing this since this app is probably destined for some nominal fee assignment. And yes... I am (im)patiently waiting for my shipping of VS2k5 Pro. Best Regards ant ...Show All

• Windows Forms Add an Image into a DataGrid Column which is bound to a SQL 2000 Table

  Hi All, I have created a table in SQL 2000 in which are all text columns.  In one of these columns I am storing a path (e.g. "c:\images\image.jpg") to an image file. I have inherited the System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid control, and created my own column styles. As I have bound data from the SQL 2000 table onto the datagrid when I display the column, which stores the image path, it just displays the text "C:\images\image.jpg" to the column. How can I get my datagrid to display the image in my datagrid Thanks in advance. Kind Regards. . Hi, I have the same problem. I knew how to save graphic file such as gi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MS: Please release an assembly containing Func<> :)

  The Func<> delegates are already useful, and are trivial to create on our own.  However, without some canonical distribution of them, there are going to be problems coordinating the use of them pre-Linq. Would it be possible to release a live MS version of them, not bound into the Linq preview, to eventually be folded into the main framework, so we can all use the exact same namespace/version and not keep recreating things Unless you've hidden them somewhere I haven't seen Valid concern. But we don't have another release vehicle - having just released VS 2005 (and .NET Framework 2.0) short of these previews and forthcoming ...Show All
