• .NET Development new Part2 "map to the same server" error message

  Hi again, Trying to start up Visual.NET for first ASP web application coding (am still a learner....) This is the error message I am being present when I select 'New Project' then ASP Application: Unable to create Web project ‘WebApplication1’. The file path ‘c:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication1’ does not correspond to the URL ‘http://localhost/WebApplication1’. The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 403: Access Forbidden WebApplication1 is the default name given to an application - - I can change that but it doesn't affect this. Given the hint that 'Access Forbidden' - I ...Show All

• SQL Server SS05 : create table from XML ?

  This is probably a stretch ... ... but does SS05 provide ability to describe the DDL for a table in XML   One step further would enable table creation purely based on that XML doc. Of course, I could write custom code to do this, based on my XML design. But perhaps there is some built-in ability  ...  There are two XML ways that are already available in SQL Server 2000's SQLXML 3.0: 1. Use the XML template files and just put the DDL into a sql:query element. Yes, I know that this is cheesy and not what you probably were expecting as an answer, but the question is why you would want to use XM ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting event

  One of the form of client side registers for an event which is exposed by the server object (Singleton). Client can attach and detach to this event. Everything works fine. When the form is disposed the event is detached by the client. But ServerIdentity object keeps the reference of the disposed form and never releases it. This causes the memory leak on client. What could be the problem and how to force ServerIdentity object to release client form Thanks in advance KDV Doesn't the object go away when the default lifetime manager sweeps for unused server identities Thanks ...Show All

• Visual C++ vector container with user-defined class

  Hi all: I want to use the STL vector to store an array of objects which class is user-defined. LMVector is the user defined class and here it's the LMVector.h file. class LMVector { private:     .... public:     .... };   In another class LMRectangle, there is a field needed to store an array of LMVector.

• Visual Basic Context Menu formatting

  I am using vb.net 2003. There does not seem to be any builtin capibility to change the font or background color of a context menu. Is there a way to accomplish basic formatting of a context menu in net 2oo3. Thanks, Fred Hi, Based on my research, the menuitem did not have Font simiar properties. But I think you may try to implement the OwnerDraw of MenuItem as below.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Application Configuration Incorrect

  Hello, This weekend I was programming a game using the Win32 platform SDK (Feb05), Glut and OpenGL.  When I compiled the release edition and tried it on another computer (included all DLLs as per Dependency Walker) it failed with error 14001 "This application failed to start ... application configuration incorrect." I ended up having to dig out my old Visual Studio 6.0 CD and create a project using it to get it to run on any other machine than my own.  I was using Visual C++ 2005 Express Beta 2 CTS. Is there a reason why this would happen   Will it work with the new Beta 2 version that I am currently downloading ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLinq and null values and defaults

  Is there any way to specify how DLinq handles null values - for example: [Table] public class Thing { string name; [Column] public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = value; } } } CREATE TABLE Thing ( Name NVARCHAR(120) NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DF_Thing_Name DEFAULT(N'No Name') ) ... results in an INSERT command that specifies NULL for [Name] when it would be helpful to indicate DEFAULT. Using stored procedures will handle it, but something like [Column(NullValueUpdate = NullValueUpdate.SetDefault)] would be handy... Thanks. Looking a bit further, it appears that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help still broken

  Just installed the release version of VS2005 standard. Alas, F1 help is still broken. If I position the cursor over a word (for example HANDLE) and hit F1, the following happens: 1. If MSDN is set to use local help only, it always displays the topic-not-found page, even though on the left hand side, the topic is not only present, but selected. A single click on the highlighted item displays the correct information. 2. If MSDN is set to use online help first, then pressing F1 takes up to a minute (looks like multiple redirections happening), then either displays the topic-not-found page or displays something only vaguely related to the select ...Show All

• .NET Development Copy DataSet problem

  I'm using the DataSet.Copy method and trying to create a whole new set of records in database based on previous one. However, by using this method, it will copy the identity column as well. As a result, this will update my existing record instead of creating a new set. What should I do to make what I want Thanks! I suppose you could copy the dataset then remove the indentity column using something like: DataSet ds = GetMyDataSet(); // Function to build dataset. ds.Tables["MyTable"].Columns.Remove("MyIdentityColumn"); ...Show All
