• Visual Studio Introducing HelpStudio Lite

  The VS 2005 SDK contains a new tool for authoring Help and integrating it with VS 2005. The tool is called HelpStudio Lite. It is lightweight version of the full HelpStudio product, developed by Innovasys . HelpStudio Lite is recommended for anyone extending VS 2005 - for example, by creating add-ins, controls, or packages. You will likely also want to author and include Help content with your extensions to VS. You can use HelpStudio Lite to author your content and compile it to the Help 2.5 (hxs) format, so it can be integrated with VS 2005. The HelpStudio Lite documentation includes details on how to create deployment projects for y ...Show All

• SQL Server Win CE 4.2 and Smart Dev Application question

  I'm a bit stuck with this one... hope someone can help. I'm trying to develop an application that will run on a pocket PC with Windows CE 4.2 I'm using .Net 2003 and the application is in VB.Net. I can run the application on the pocket pc fine (ie. form paints, buttons work) , until I need to connect to Sql DB on the server.

"This application (test.exe) requires a newer version of .Net Compact Framework than the one installed on the device" .... "could not load System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnecti ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is the 2.0 Framework required on the deployment server?

  I'm in the process of deploying a Smart Client application via our Windows 2003 servers.  Are we required to install the 2.0 Framework on the servers from which the application will be installed   I believe the answer is "yes", but I just want to make sure. TIA Having the .NET Framework 2.0 installed on the server is *not* a requirement for hosting ClickOnce apps. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228998.aspx  for more info on server configuration for ClickOnce apps.

• Visual C++ vector problems

  Hello! I'm trying to use vector class in VS 2005 Express. I have #include <vector> and using namespace std; and i still need to do this: std::vector<int> vek; Like this works fine. Why do I std is needed again Using namespace std should be enough. All is in *.h header file. And more important problem. I need to have a lots of 0-1 data(milions, up to 10). I decided to use bit_vector(http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/bit_vector.html) instead of vector<bool> - size matters for me. It should be included in vector class but its not or I'm doing sth wrong. How to use it/link it/include it Maybe you can recommend other solution for th ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Extending DataContext?

  Is it or will it be possible to override the internals of the DataContext I want to alter the object creation implementation in the datacontext to create subclass proxies instead of just instancing the entity types directly. However DataContext seems very black boxish. Im well aware of the claims that non virtuals execute faster than virtual methods etc.. but in this kind of scenario where big chunks of data is fetched from some sort of datasource , those few nano seconds will be impossible to notice.. so that will hardly be a valid argument. Ive seen that there is a "services" collection inside the datacontext , but that also seems ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bug in .NET 2.0 DataGrid?

  Hi! When I move down with the "down arrow key". Two rows get selected each time.. Anyone else experienced this   Thank you David I have not experienced that particular problem. Only thing that comes close was pressing the tab key once tabbed over two cells. Finally figured out that the "UP" message of the tab key was causing an extra tab, but never figured out if it was a .NET bug or something I was doing wrong. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Can't have more then 32 links in LinkLabel

  I hope you know already that LinkLabel throws Overflow error if you put more then 32 links in it. The error occurs when painting the LinkLabel (stack trace below) in the SetMeasurableCharacterRanges function. This happens to be known limitation of GDI+ and the potential solution is to chunk the CharacterRange into smaller chunks. I can't understand how it was allowed to publish this control with such obvious bug. Please advise if there is any workaround for this.

• Visual Studio Team System Deployment folder won't get copied.

  In my test project I have a folder with a few xml files which I set the properties to be content/copy always. I added this folder to the additional files and directories to deploy window in my .testrunconfig file. When I run my test, all xml files are copied to the out directory but not the folder. So it basically flattens the directory structure on deployment. How do I tell it to preserve the directory structure Thanks. Great! This is apparently the only option to solve the same problem with generic tests. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office EventHandlers not firing inside ThisDocument class in Word

  I have a strange problem.  I have a Word Document project in which I have wired up an event handler called MedicalDocumentNode_ContextEnter for a node called MedicalDocument.  This normally works great. However, if I access the XML of the word document within my ThisDocument class, by doing the following (as an example): MessageBox .Show(Application.Selection.get_XML( false )); It seems to cause the environment to go out of sync with the event handling and the event handler above does not get called. Any input on this strange behaviour Okay, I managed to solve this one quite shortly after po ...Show All
