• Visual Studio Problem with Conditional Import inside VS

  Hello I have a .targets file that supports multiple platforms, and has 3 elements like this: <Import Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '...' " Project="..."> When I build using msbuild.exe and specify /p:Platform=... it works ok for all platforms. When inside VS, it always imports the first one, regardless what Platform I choose. I also have a dummy Platform called "BuildAllPlatforms" that invokes the msbuild task for all platforms, and that works ok in VS. If instead of the import, I literally replace the import, and add the condition to every target, propertygroup and itemgroup, it all works ok. Is this a bug in VS I'm using RC1. Regards, ...Show All

  Hello, I am trying to create a dll that internally uses managed types but exposes a plain unmanaged interface. (vs2005 beta 2 - c++/CLI) All the managed stuff shall be "wrapped out of sight".

I heared something called ManWarp tried that approach. If it is possible, how can I do that. Maybe there is a small litttle sample project around Use #pragma unmanaged.

• SQL Server Change the order of columns

  By mistake I misplaced the order of my primary keys in some tables and I just dont find the way to move them to the top of each table.  This must be something easy. and its ugly to see primary keys on the foot.

• SQL Server Solution Explorer in SQL Server Management Studio

  Am I just out of my mind or does the solution explorer only list files in the order they were created Is there any way to sort the list   I'm trying to manage a database as a "solution".  It has over a hundred or so procs. If I can't alphabetize the list it is of no use to me since it's impossible to find a specific proc when they are not sorting in any logical way.  (Please keep in mind there are multiple developers working on this "solution" so the list if effected by all of them.) I am trying to maintain some version control over the procs using VSS but it looks like I have to use a "solution" and "projects" to do that ...Show All

  Hi, all! I've just downloaded and installed Visual C# Express 2005 Beta 2. I can't find "Add Inherited Form" menu which existed in Beta 1. Is it gone now or is it just only my problem Thanks. Sam Anson, I'm using the C# Express Beta 2 and use form inheritance quite a lot. If you intend to build an application framework that is usefull and reusable, form and control inheritance is a must. IMO, it is very annoying to miss the inherited form and inherited control templates. Best regards, Benny Tordrup ...Show All
