• Visual Studio Team System [BUG: 1.32RTM] Error when opening file with 'Save Rules By' set to 'Message Level'

  Guys, I came across this when I tried to open a file that I had saved in a pre-release version of 1.32 and tried to open it in the RTM of 1.32. The funny thing is that I don't ever remember changing the 'Save Rules By' option. FxCop displays the following error when opening a file that has 'Save Rules By' changed to 'Message Level'. An error occurred while loading '[FileName]'. 'Value cannot be null.  Parameter name: defaultCategory' Stack Trace: at Microsoft.FxCop.Common.NamedRuleTable.Load(XmlNode node, NamedRuleTable defaultCategory, Boolean isDefinition, Boolean isSelectedAndInNewProject, Boolean isSystem, String groupName, H ...Show All

• Visual Basic Trouble reading bits.

  I am trying to read a byte from a certain address in a file. But, I am trying to read the byte in bit format (bits 0-7). I have tried to use the BitConverter and the BitArray classes but I cannot figure it out. I am pretty sure that BitArray is the one I need but there are no methods that look like they would do anything I want. Maybe I am just missing it. I checked the help section but the examples there were not what I am trying to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Remember I was saying were going to demonstrate how to set bit 3. in binary, setting bit 3 would look like 00001000   = 8. ...Show All

• .NET Development (.Net 2.0) HttpListener and Keep-Alive (Http 1.1)

  Hey everybody. I'm playing around with the HttpListener class, which i think is absolutely cool, it just seems to have a few quirks. I want to service multiple requests over a persistent http connection, which the API seems to support (it' has KeepAlive property), but for some reason, it always closes the connection after each response, forcing the client to create a new connection for each request. Here is some sample code. HttpListener listener = new HttpListener (); listener.Prefixes.Add( "http: //*:81/" ); listener.Start(); while ( true ){    HttpListenerContext context = listener.GetContext();  &nbs ...Show All

• Visual Basic Microsoft.Office.Interop Error

• Windows Forms Creating a currency text box using Masked Text Box

  Is it possible to create a masked text box that will automatically convert the user-entered value to a currency I tried it with the masked text box, but I could not figure out how to make the length of the string between the "$" and the ".".  I had the mask set up as: $000,000.00 But I want the user to be able to enter as little as $50.00, but it is a little bit awkward for them using that mask.

• .NET Development TableAdapters.....

  Is there a way to expose the SqlDataAdapter within a TableAdapter as a Public property even after re-generating the TableAdapter I can't use TableAdapters, because they don't expose the SqlDataAdapter as a Public property since I need to pass down the DataAdapter to a separate DB I/O method. Not a generated DB I/O method within the TableAdapter. I'm forced to use the Component Designer and create a SqlDataAdapter like I have been doing in VS.Net 2003. The following code is generated when creating a TableAdapter: <code> <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()> _ Private ReadOnly Property Adapter() As System ...Show All

• SQL Server ENDPOINTs in SQL Server 2005 April CTP

  Hi I've been happily using VS2005 Beta 1 to access ENDPOINTs on SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 for a while now with no problems.  Having just upgraded to VS2005 Beta 2 and SQL Server 2005 April CTP I now get this when I make a call to the ENDPOINT web service: "The request failed with HTTP status 505: HTTP Version not supported."
