• Visual Studio how to delete cancel build task item

  Hi,   Does anyone succeed in deleting all the "Task List" items after cancelling a build I cancel a build in the "OnBuildBegin" handler. The code I'm using to delete the task list items : Window taskListWindow = ApplicationObject.Windows.Item( Constants.vsWindowKindTaskList ); TaskList taskList = (TaskList)taskListWindow.Object; try { foreach(TaskItem item in taskList.TaskItems) { item.Delete(); } This code is called in the "OnBuildDone" event handler. When item.Delete() is executed, I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". The item reference, however, does exist. It contains the "Compilation cancelled by user" ...Show All

• Windows Forms Looking for a Drop Down Button (aka Genghis ThemedArrowButton)

  In the 1.1 version of our application we use a “drop down button” (an button with an arrow on the right hand edge that indicates to the user that button has drop down menu). The existing code comes from the Genghis project[1] and makes direct use of the unmanaged XP theming code.   Now that 2.0 supports Theming via managed I want to drop our dependency on unmanaged code (one less permission to demand).   Is there support for a drop down button baked into WinForms The closest I’ve found is the DropBar in the toolstrip – but of course that doesn’t look like a button in our dialog – the goal here. Am I condemned to rewriting the G ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Simple isn't it ? Returning a scalar data value...

  Hello all ^_^ Some kind of noob question, but... I'm using : Microsoft Visual Studio Express Web Developpement and a local MS Access database (TJA.mdb). I'm trying to create a simple web page with a FormView. When I validate an insert command the page crash because the primary key of my table is not populated. This is a "Autonumberd" field called "ID". Ok since the FormView does not handle the the AutoNumberd field automaticaly, I've added some code to call a SQL query which returns a single value (scalar query). This query is not a stored procedure. Here is the code I use : Protected Sub FormView1_ItemInse ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005, multiple instances - what about ports?

  When multiple instances of SQL 2005 are installed on a cluster or standalone server, is it best to have each instance configured to listen on a different port or will one port for all do We don't use port 1433 and the port we do use is blocked at the firewall. I'd like to standardize on one port for all instances but I'm not sure of the ramifications. Any thoughts Thanks. You have to use one port per instance.

• .NET Development Porting C++ pointer code to C#

  Hi, I have a piece of C++ code that does a lot with pointer arithmetic in order to parse a char[] array into many different fields. The data is a block from a tape, so for example the first block of data contains such information as tape id, number of files on the tape etc. Most, but not all, of the individual fields in the data are null terminated. I'm looking for the best way to accomplish the same thing in C#. I'm used to pointer arithmetic in C++, but I'm not that familiar with C#. The C# code that I have (in an unsafe method) looks like: char[] tapeHeader = new char[1024 * 256]; UInt32 count = (uint) tapeHeader.L ...Show All
