• Smart Device Development BroadcastSystemMessage

  I need to reset an SDIO port using only software to get the host controller and bus driver to reinitialize the port. I was hoping I could send a system message for insertion and removal of the SDIO (0x219) and get it to reset that way. However the BroadcastSystemMessage call seems to be unsupported in WM 5.0. Is there another way to do this pls check the following link for info on more appropriate newsgroups/forums for questions of this type. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=286724&SiteID=1 Srikanth Bogadapati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom task: assembly could not be found

  Hi, I am using the final version of Framework 2.0. I have created a custom task called SimpleTask (modelled after the Hands-On-Lab document).

• SQL Server Dynamic loading of a file

  I've been told by Kirk that it is possible to load a file whose metadata is unknown at design-time by using bulk insert along with a file (not a flat file) connection. He didn't elaborate though. Can anyone explain -Jamie Hi Kirk. Any guidance then on how to use SSIS to export a dynamic collection of tables as flat files. I used a foreach loop and a user variable to set the file name, the first table works fine but then it fails on the second because the column mappings are not being dynamically set in the dataflow task.

• Visual Studio Crystal reports XI R2 and Visual Studio 2005 issues

  Has anyone got this error after updating (fresh install) to Crystal Reports XI R2 with reports in Visual Studio 2005 I am posting here because I am not sure if it is a Crystal reports XI R2 bug or a Visual Studios 2005 problem. I thought it might be that my programming was wrong so I tried the samples that come with R2. If anything these should work since the people who developed the software wrote the examples. Even the examples gave me these same errors. Custom Tool is CrystalDecisions.VSDesigner.CodeGen.ReportCodeGenerator I have these refernces: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine - v2.0.50526 CrystalDecisions.Enterpris ...Show All

• Windows Forms Thread question

• Visual Studio Team System Solved that one, still want to know how to remove think time from within transaction.

  Maybe this is just showing my ignorance of the VS UI but I perform a LoadTest and in the Load Test Monitor I can see a graph of the counters for the test but on the left hand side I only get a summary pane. I used to have a list of counters that I could view and add to the graph but I cannot find that view any longer. How can I get the list of active counters to display in the Load Test Monitor so that I can add counters to the displayed graphs Also, I noticed that when I create a transaction in a web test, and then view the generated code, the think time associated with that request is within the transaction. That would mean that the respo ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 add-ins on Windows 64-bit

  Hi, Given these circumstances: 1) VS 2005 is a native Win32 application that runs on WOW64 when the machine is Windows XP 64-bit. 2) By default .NET managed add-ins are compiled to "Any CPU" Is the .NET Framework that VS 2005 uses to host such add-ins 32-bit or 64-bit I think that the answer will be 32-bit, but anyway I want to confirm. I have found a quite complicated problem and after writing a whole paragraph explaining it I have deleted it because I think that I have figured out the cause. It's great to write the things to think carefully about them :-) Best regards, Carlos Quintero Microsoft MVP Visual ...Show All

• Architecture Layered Architecture across Boundaries

  Hi, I would like to know, how separating layered architecture across boundaries can increase performance and scalability. We have a scenario where client insists on the Presentation Layer on a separate machine and the application server on a separate machine and the interaction between them is going to be using Web Services. Web Services are arguably slow and how can the performance improve against having the UI Layer and Business Layer in the same box. Thanks. When it comes to distribution, performance is seldom the top reason for why you would want to distribute. In many cases perfo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Set my application to be on top!?

  I'm developing a windows application using VS2005 and C#. My application is composed of various modules/projects: 1 is a WIndows Forms executable that contains the main form. All the others are c# class libraries. However, all the class libraries contain windows forms that are instantiated from the main form. Right now I'm having an issue when opening my login form. The process is more or less like this: The Windows Application Executable runs, opens the Main Form and, on the MainForm_Load event I create an instance object of our Security Class Library, which contains the Login Form. After that I basically show the Login Form in a modal way. ...Show All
