• Windows Forms Any 3rd Party 'Compile As win32"

  Does anyone know if any products exist that let you compile as "windows forms" application as a "Win 32" application. I've heard this is somewhat possible by compiling the .NET libraries (or atleast the ones used in the application) into your application, and creating a Win 32 app from all of it.   I still don't like the fact that s ...Show All

• SQL Server AdventureWorks db for 101 Samples

  I'm not sure if this should be asked here.  If it's the wrong place, let me know and I'll correct. I've just downloaded 101 Samples for Visual Studio 2005 .  But the data access samples require AdventureWorks database which is not included in the C# sample.  Who know where I can get this database   It is a SQL 2005 database, I think. Thanks! gaile- Thanks for your quick response. Specifically, from CreatingMasterDetails sample: SELECT EmployeeID, NationalIDNumber, ContactID, LoginID, DepartmentID, ManagerID, ShiftID, Title, EmergencyContactID, AddressID, BirthDate, MaritalStatus, Gender, HireDate, Salaried ...Show All

• Visual C++ Set VC++ Directories in Options dialog (Visual C++ Express)

  Is this bug going to be fixed anytime soon Using VC++ Express 2005 v8.0.50215.44 (beta2.050215-4400) and .NET Framework v2.0.50215 on a Win2K SP4 test box. I've tried the solutions from both Boris and Chaos to workaround the problem and neither appear to work. I've been charged with evaluating VC++ for our enterprise, ( I'm principally a gcc user), and a rudimentary bug like this ought to get squashed pretty quick IMO. [EDIT] OOPS! Sorry to start this as a new thread. Meant to reply to the existing one. I've tried the solutions from both Boris and Chaos to workaround the problem and neither appear to work. That is ...Show All

• Visual C# "unable to load dll" in IDE but fine to run

  I have a UserControl which references a managed C++ assembly M, and M has PInvoke functions from unmanaged Dll U. All work fine in VS .Net 2003. In VS 2005, it can still run well, but when I open the Form Designer for a form containing that UserControl, it shows "Unable to load DLL U: The specified module could not be found." Those dlls are in the same directory, and the project can run without a problem. Just the form designer cannot find the Dll U. Any clue Hello qrli!

  I've enabled the Fulltextsearch in some Tables of my DB. In SQL Server Management Studio the querys are all have results and running free of errors. If i will use the same querys in VWD, they're running in a SqlException. Translated from german: The Fulltextsearch cant be used in the Userinstance.

• Visual Basic Calling a click event

  In VB6 it was easy to call a controls click event ie (call textbox1_click). this however does not seem to work in Vb.Net 2005, any ideas Cheers Kev I found the best way was to put code in the gotfocus event of the combobox and call setfocus to initiate. After coding it was obvious that this is what I should have done in the first place, but trying to get my head around around OOP has made me loose sight of the easier stuff.  Cheers for all the replies guys.

• Visual Studio Team System SDM: Flow and Extends questions

  Hi,   While working with SDM S DK , I’ve encountered two problems that I cannot resolve.   I am trying to use inheritance in the following manner: I defined application-layer system A with property P1 , and then I defined system B that inherits from system A ( < SystemDefinition Name =" B " Layer =" Application " Extends =" A " Abstract =" true "> ).   When I add system B to my AD model I don’t see property P1 in “Setting & Constraints” tab, but when I add system A I am able to see its property. Interestingly enough when I’m defining the same property within system B boundaries, compiler compla ...Show All
