• Visual Studio Problem with Class Designer and Pages and Controls

  I'm trying to create a class model for some pages and controls in my website.  However when I drag any of them to the class diagram I get an error "Some of the selected types cannot be added to the class diagram.  From a previous post there was a comment saying you cannot model these types. Is this still true, and if so does anyone know of a work around    I also tried reverse engineering to Visio, but the model only shows the true classes, again  not the pages or controls.  We used the reverse engineering alot in VS 2003 to show class diagrams, and the sequence diagrams for our more complex processes.

• Visual Studio Team System InfoPath projects fail in TFS

  If I add a infopath project to a source controlled solution other teammembers donot get a working infopath project when they get-latest the solution. They get various errors, primarily caused (as it seems) by the missing of the InfoPath files. They are not retrieved from the source control. I stored the InfoPath project in a subfolder under the solutionroot. [EDIT: A work around is to make the files writeable (after a manual get from the source control) and then reopen the solution. The infopath project opens fine then. Compiling became the next problem. The output path of the enclosed c# project shoud be .\ (instead of bin\Debug)] Anyone in ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't get unicode strings using JDBC driver

  Hi; If I call the following to get a Statement, ResultSet.getString() works fine with unicode strings: Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); But If I use the following: Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE); Then all chars > 127 are returned as an from ResultSet.getString(). I think this is a bug. - thanks - dave David -- It looks like this was resolved in the microsoft.public.sqlserver.jdbcdriver forum.  Let us know if you still have issues. -shelby ...Show All

• SQL Server Using an IF statement inside a sum()

  When I try the following code =SUM ( IIf( Fields!UPD_DATE.Value < Parameters!Parameter1.Value, Fields!ONHAND_VALUE.Value, 0) ) It returns an error however if I try =SUM ( IIf( Fields!UPD_DATE.Value < Parameters!Parameter1.Value, 1, 0) ) It returns the proper count. I've checked all the values for ONHAND_VALUE and they are all numeric so I have no clue what the problem could be. I fixed it, used =SUM ( IIf( Fields!UPD_DATE.Value < Parameters!Parameter1.Value, Fields!ONHAND_VALUE.Value, Fields!ONHAND_VALUE.Value * 0) ) Instead. I still don't know why ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Petri net implementation using State machine Workflow

  While digging through workflow docs on the Internet as well as reading a few books one common technology for implementing a workflow comes up, Petri Nets. To my understanding one thing that separates a Petri Net from an ordinary state machine is that it can have multiple states active at the same time (multiple tokens in different places of of the Petri Net). One type of activitiy that is heavily used in Petri Net is an And-Split. Basically you have multiple edges going out from the Activity hence multiple states gets activated. What would the best way be to implement this using the Workflow Foundation framework Having multiple workflo ...Show All

  Hi, Im totally new to C#, but Im thinking about "converting".....I have the following problem: I have created a C# application from which I call a .dll I made in Borland Delphi 5, the call works fine, the dll does what its intended to do, the problem is that when I close the application it continues to "live" in processes.

• .NET Development Config file for DLLs

  Hello All ! I have some test DLLs (5) which all references a common DLL. The common DLL needs a specific value in the config file. So in my 5 test DLLs, I add a config file with the value needed for the common one. Of course it would be simpler if I can add only one config file (for the common DLL) but this doesn't seem to work. Is this possible or not Thanks, Jarod For connection strings, I would use the settings designer to create a settings class in all my assemblies that want to share the settings, and use the SettingsGroupName attribute to make all the settings classes read the same value from the app.config file.

• Visual C++ What equals to C# ref keyword in VC++ 7

  Can somebody tell me what equals to C# ref keyword in VC++ 7 Thanks in advance. It can, but its neater and less prone to mistakes if you use the &. The ** means a double pointer or a pointer to a pointer, so setting this up can be awkward. & on the other hand is just passing the variable by reference. The following demonstrates the difference. void fun1(int** a) {     *a = 1; }   void fun2(int &a) {     a = 2; }   int main() {     int value;     int* value2 = &value;       fun1(& ...Show All

• Visual C++ XML Documentation Comments

  In new development I've selected to use .NET 2005 and of its features the one leveraged most in moving old code is the XML Commenting from which I hope to product documentation. I've found a problem on the C++/CLI side that I hope someone can help with -- whenever I have a method with a parameter such as array<char> ^ the documenting for that method does not display in Object Browser. As an example of this problem add the following declarations then compile a .NET Class Library -- add the Class Library as a reference in a C# project and browse in Object Browser.
