• Visual C# Write to C# Immediate window in 2005

  How do we write to the immediate window from the code window. Similar to "Debug.Print" in VB. Thank you, Paul In my case: Console.WriteLine( "Name:{0}, Address:{1}", my_dataReader["FirstName"], my_dataReader["Title"]); Debug.Write ("AAA"); both print the string to Output window I think the trick is to use Output window instead of immediate window Cheers ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions reference and importing

  What is the difference between adding REFERENCE and IMPORT statement in our project Can someone explain me. hi, what i know about this , you cant use(using) without adding reference to the name space , there are some references will be added by default to your project the IDE will add those references as soon as you create your project you can use those namespaces. ok example system.Drawing reference is added by default to your windows application but not added to your console applications . so you can use System.Drawing in windows application but you can't in console application unless you add reference to that name ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office KB 907417 & 908002

  Hi; Asking new because I think this got lost in the message it was a reply to... Just to confirm, if I have run the latest windows update and it shows no updates for Word, then the fixes in KB907417 should be on my machine - correct I have never run the fix in KB907417 and on my dev machine it has version 7.10.5077.0 but my test system, which shows no pending office updates, has 7.10.3191.0. So it looks like I do have to install it. Do we run this same update for Word 2002 and Word 2000 Or is there a different update in their cases And for our customers, I assume we have to point them at this fix Or will it be included ...Show All

• Windows Forms Modal dialog turning into modeless

  This is the issue: When a parent window is disabled while a modal dialog is being shown, the shown dialog ends up behaving like a modeless dialog on re-enabling the parent window again. Any ideas why this behaviour Sounds like a MS .NET framework bug! The summary is like this: 1. A main form spawns a thread. 2. The thread method displays a modal dialog (by calling ShowDialog() on a Form object (let us call this the "second dialog") 3. This displayed dialog has a button which in turn displays another modal dialog. (Let us call this the "third dialog") Everything works ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Mapped Folders

  Our project is using TFS for both source code and all project requirements, design and management documents.  We have set up numerous TFS groups to control read/write access for our various project roles.  We have been having a lot of problems with novice business analyst users attempting to add documents from outside the local folder areas for which they have write access priveledges in the corresponding server folder areas.  TFS responds to these attempts with varying cryptic error messages that has led us to spend time verifying and changing our TFS group setup and folder permissions only to find out later it was "oper ...Show All

The first page is a list of the reports on the reportserver, when I clicked on the link of the one of the reports, it pop up a window to show the report, which behave exactly like http://reportserver/Reports . Is there a way to stop it from poping up a new window, and just show the report on the same page where the link was clicked Thanks, Cheng While rendering the report you could use the rc:TargetLink=_self paramter, which willopen all links in the same window.

• Windows Forms String representation of Keys enum

  Why Keys.PageDown.ToString() returns "Next" Keys.PageUp.ToString() returns "PageUp" all right. Maybe this is a bug, or I have to change some option of my project Thx for all I think this is a backward compatibility of Prior (PageUp) and Next (PageDown) key mapping in Keys enum. "Next" has the same value as "PageDown", and "Prior" has the same value as "PageUp". The ToString() method will try to search the first matching numerical value to display the string, and it happens that "Next" appears on top of "PageDown", while "PageUp" appears on top of "Prior".

• Visual Basic Add New Data Source for My SQL doesn't work

  I have tried also installing and using the ODBC driver version 3.51 and the My SQL driver 3.1.8.  None of these work. What do I have to do to add a new MY SQL data source Michael I was told by two different Microsoft employees that Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition was the right version of Visual Studio 2005 for me to use for all of my needs including access to ODBC and MySQL data. They emailed me a link with a comparison of all of the different variations and features of the different versions of Visual Studio 2005.  I am trying to remember now, but I think it included a chart with bullets or check marks and comment ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Missing VCOverrides.vsprops

  I've migrated to RC from B3R - no problems. In B3R, when I created a build type, the following files would get created under source control in the TeamBuildTypes folder: TFSBuild.proj, TFSBuild.rsp, VCOverrides.vsprops, and WorkspaceMapping.xml. However when I try to create a new build type (after migrating to RC), I only get the following files: TFSBuild.proj, TFSBuild.rsp, and WorkspaceMapping.xml. VCOverrides.vsprops is missing. Is this a bug in RC or in a new change that I don't know about Another thing, I can no longer run my build types (created in B3R) because I use the VCOverrides.vsprops for those builds. When those build ...Show All
