• Visual Basic Lrg Timer Delay

  Hi, does anyone know if there is some way to set a timer to fire with a large delay, ie up to 1 hour. I have looked at vb 2005's new timer classes but it does not seem to be able to handle my requirements Any ideas appreciated. .NET Framework Time Class http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/xdh6857z.aspx Interval on this class appears to be an integer http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/system.windows.forms.timer.interval.aspx which would imply a number of ms up to 2,147,483,647 as this is integer range in .Net which equates to around 596 minutes.

• Smart Device Development Missing assembly information in converted project

  This is a rather weird 'bug'. We upgraded a VS2003 Pocket PC project to VS2005. The conversion process didn't change AssemblyInfo.cs and when we go into the new Assembly Information screen in the project properties we see the settings as we set it. When we change it in that property screen, it does change in AssemblyInfo and vice versa. But when we build the project and have a look at the properties of the executable there is no version info at all. Within the same solution we have a normal desktop application and a pocket pc class library project. Both those projects were converted as well, but on the executable and DLL it builds ther ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2003 source control gone

  I have an aging machine which has VS6, .NET 2002, ,NET 2003 and .NET 2005 on. Since installing VS 2005, my VS2003 installation no longer supports source control. It claims to be using SourceSafe in the tools / options settings, but I cannot change any details. WHen I try and open a project which is under source control I get the famous 'The solution appears to be under source control...' message. There is no source control option in the files menu and in general it seems disabled. HOWEVER, source control works fine in VS2005 and VC6.0. and VSS 6.0 is installed and working. (btw, I claim it's since installing VS2005, but I'm no ...Show All

• SQL Server How to get the Columns list to the end user?

  Hello Nilay here, How to display the coulumn list of the reports to the end user Thanks, In SQL Server 2005, you can use a multi-value parameter to prompt the user.  Then you can write an expression/custom function to parse the output of the parameter.  Call that expression/custom function in the visibility expression for the column in your table/matrix. You'll need to make sure the choices in your parameter list are are kept in sync with your fields list, that's something that we don't provide by default. -Lukasz --- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ...Show All

• .NET Development Application updating itself

  Does anyone know what technique(s) programs like EverQuest, Norton AntiVirus, etc. utilizes to update themselves They certainly are not using ClickOnce, and unless you are an administrator or power user, programs don't normally have write permission to the Program Files path. Richard Rosenheim EQ and NAV indeed do not use ClickOnce. Basically, the applications poll the server to see if an update is necessary. If so they download the patch and apply it. In the case of NAV, when you install the application, the auto-update service gets installed to run as System so it has the rights to write to any f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Question about using VSS database as a testing website

  Hi, We are developing our ASP.NET web projects locally and then checking them into our VSS 2005 database on our development server. We unit test locally but I would like to test the website on the development server (as we check in files compile and view the website on that box). Logically, I would create a website on the dev box and point it to the project. But VSS stores all the files in alphabetized folders so I'm not sure how to go about this. What is the best way to accomplish what I'm trying to do Thanks, Craig It sounds like you‘d like your developers to work on their own computers until ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005b2 hangs while checking out

  There is VERY annoying behavior in one of my solutions with VB.NET code (no any problems in solutions with C#). I use SourceOffSite to connect to source control storage, but it seems that it isn't SoS problem. When I try to edit .vb file, VS automaticaly checks out this file, then appears a message: "Source Control: Your action caused a check out of the file(s) <path>, and a new version from source control has been loaded in the development environment." and VS hangs with 100% CPU usage. When I do the same with .cs file in the second solution, everything working correctly. In any case, is there a way to disable this annoying message T ...Show All
