• Visual C# Customizing VS.NET IDE

  Hi, I would like to achieve the following, I would be glad if anyone can give me directions: Add custom file types in VS.NET project say *.rld Add when I open this file type in VS.NET IDE I would like to have custom Intellisense to work on this rld file. Could anyone tell me how do I go about adding custom custom file types to a VS.NET project and also how to add intellisense support to these file types. Mahesh Hi Mahesh, You should be looking at the Visual Studio 2005 SDK for building such extensions. The link to the SDK is as follows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/ Regards, Saurabh Nandu www.Aks ...Show All

• SQL Server Can a SSIS package join an external transaction?

  Hi there, I'm trying to come up with the best way to build some C# Unit tests for an SSIS package I've built. My C# code does the following 1. Creates a Transaction Scope using System.Transactions 2. Puts some source data for my package into a table that the package will read 3. Kicks off the Package using System.Diagnostics. ProcessStartInfo Im getting a Transaction TimeOut execption which I beleive is caused because the Package can't read the source data I've inserted becuase the package has not joined the transaction. So the question is - can you call a run a package and make it participate in a transaction that y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Help Integration Wizard - How does that really works ?

  Hi When we build a setup project using HIW, I can see by checking the source of the vdproj file, what the setup is making, and I don’t see nothing special, apart from adding some merge modules and the HxS file. I also checked the need for the “CollectionFiles” folder, and specially the “IntegrationWizard” file. So, if we build a setup from scratch, everything works as expected. But if we change it, the setup stops registering the help in VS. We tried everything, but none of our efforts worked.   It would be great to know, what does this setup has in special to register the hxs file, so I can proceed with any debug. txs in advan ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotating TransformedTextured Vertices around a specific point? (MDX, C#)

  Hello everyone! What I am trying to do, is to draw a textured 2d square using on-screen coordinates (therefore using TransformedTextured, and not PositionTextured), using vertices, and rotating the square around a specific point in the z axis, however after a good hour of googling, I can only seem to find examples of doing this with PositionTextured vertices, I am beginning to wonder if I am actually looking in the wrong direction. Is there any way I can convert on-screen coordinates to world matrix coordinates I would appreciate any help, hints or examples on how this could be done. Thanks in advance! //Avi I see. But as far as I can ...Show All

• SQL Server Automatic client redirect in SQL Server 2005

  Will this work with replication too. I see it with a mirror database, but could it work if I was keeping two copies of the database and wanted to transparently reroute the connection to a surviving server * If the publication DB is mirrored, client can do automatic redirection between the database on principal server and database on mirror server. BOL has a topic called "Replication and Database Mirroring" on this. As Li said, it will be supported once DB mirroring becomes supported feature. * If you question is to do automatic redirection between publication DB and subscription DB, the answer ...Show All

• Visual Basic Splash Screen... Delay?

  Hello, I made this splash screen and since I just started working on my project, the app takes less than two seconds to load and the time for splash screen... .....is not enough....

I am very lost... Thank You for any reply! Keehun Nam If you want to change the default splash screen display time, then in the project property's Applicat ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSHOST Strong Name Validation Failed

  I converted a .NET 1.1 application to the new VS2005 .NET 2.0 framework.  Whenever I load the solution, I get a "Strong name validation failed" as it tries to load the "myapp.vshost.exe".  I would like to take advanteage of the vshost but it is saying the the strong name validation failed because it the key was tampered with.  Anybody know why it would do this or how to fix it Thank you, John R We've seen this problem as well. In our case, it was caused by the requiredRuntime/supportedRuntime settings in the relevant .exe.config file specifying the .NET Framework 1.1 instead of 2.0. We cha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Change requests in MSF Agile

  In our company we have a lot of projects with fixed price contracts. We handle changes in the requirements with change requests which generate additional costs for our customers. In MSF CMMI there is a work item type for this issue but in MSF Agile not. I think there is a good reason for the absence of this work item type in the agile process. Can anyone give me some guidance how the process of a change request should be implemented in MSF Agile Thanks Marco In agile development you typically exclude changes from the iteration backlog.

• Visual Studio Express Editions convert .net project to native

  OK, I am new to the VS. I created a Windows Form Designer application the other day, but apparently had it set up for the .NET framework. I want this to be native, so I don't have to distribute anything along with my *.exe Is there a way I can convert it Or if I create a new project set as native can I add in  the cpp and h files already created or will I have to roll through the whole creation process all over again Obviously there is something fundamental that I am just not "getting." ...but I'm getting there.

• .NET Development Converting streams

  I have a Stream which is Stream stream = httpWebResponse.GetResponseStream(); I need to convert this System.IO.Stream into System.IO.MemoryStream. How can I do that with C# 2003 The data that a server returns is an image. I would do byte [] data = webClient.DownloadData(uri); but for certain reasons I have to use HttpWebRequest/Response. Thank you. You can't convert it from one to the other .. you would read data from that stream into a memory stream. Although I am curious why you need to read it into a memory stream as opposed to using the response stream directly I can write code such as .. public void DoSomething(Stream s) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS install - problem setting up and connecting with new user

  I have a new installation of TFS (RC), installed on a single server in workgroup mode. I am now at the point of creating local machine users and adding them to TFS. Since there are other system permissions (sharepoint, reporting svcs) associated with TFS admins, i created a local group for this and added it to the appropriate roles in sharepoint, reporting services, and in TFS (when logged in as TFSSETUP of course). However, i did not make this group a local admin (is this necessary ). I am now wanting to create a new user 'userxxx', add the user to my local 'TFS Admins' group, connect to my TFS Server in Visual studio, and create a new t ...Show All
