• Visual Studio Team System VSTestHost.exe crashing after executing test(s)

  Some members of our team, including myself, are experiencing this problem and have not been able to find a workaround for it. After executing some unit test/tests, VSTestHost.exe process hogs the CPU for few minutes before it crashes. I tried re-installing VS without success. This is under a virtual machine, by the way. (Needed to access DEV domain) Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Sang Do your tests have any finally clauses that may take time to clean up, or do you invoke other threads that may be throwing exceptions ...Show All

• Visual C# "The operation could not be completed" error when running from IDE

  I now often get this error "The operation could not be completed" when trying to run the application from the IDE. It occurs after the "Build Succeeded" message in the status bar. Sometimes I also get the message saying that application.vhost.exe could not be overwritten. I can get around that error by going to the task manager and terminatnig the vhost process, but I still get the operation could not be completed error all the time. In order to run the program in debugging I would typically need to click run about 5 times before that error doesn't occur. hi, I guess you windows scripting host is corrupted. you c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Finding out what a textbox contains

  Hi there. I am currently developing a small application to tell users what grade of security their password has. Now, to do this, i need to check what the textbox contains, like signs, numbers, how many lines they are and so on. I can understand the basic syntax for it: If Textbox1 = contains !"# %&/()= then metervalue = metervalue + 5 Well, that is what i have figured out, but i don't know the proper command to see if a textbox contains something. I know how to check if the content matches a word or a number, but i don't know how to check if the textbox contains letters, how many they are and so on. If anyone can help me ...Show All

• Visual C# Custom Control Error Message Hell!

  Hey howzit I am trying to implement a new user control...all that it allows is for the user to assign each control to a group.  One group of OurRadioButton's consist of 2 or more radio buttons and if they have the same checkgroup then you can only check one of them in the group.

• SQL Server Export table from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005

  Hi, I have just installed SQL 2005 and I started moving my tables from one server (SQL 2000) to the new one (SQL 2005). I noticed when I use the import option (SQL 2005) it does not create indexes, pk, and do not create columns as identity. In this case I decided to script all objects and create them in 2005 what should be fine. After that I use the same import to move data from 2000 to 2005 when it show the data mapping screen if I do not click on edit and check the option "Enable Identity Insert" it will fail for tables where I have identity columns. Is there a fast way to move tables from 2000 to 2005 with data ...Show All

• Visual C# Why can't I save my Visual C# .exe project to another directory

  When I select the project and try to perform a "save as", it won't let me specify another directory.  You mean to tell me we are forced to save all our executable projects in C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\MyDocuments\Visual Studio 2005\...   This just can't be! It's actually that you can't copy a project, which appears to be what you want to do. There is an option as part of a Setup project that lets you move source code as part of the installation. But, in the vast majority of cases, that is way overkill. So go with what Guido said...move the directory structure by hand and change any necessa ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't instrument project targets for ASP.NET performance session?

  I create a new ASP.NET performance session and point it at my web application directory (i.e. not using IIS). Now, I can sucessfully get performance data for the web site itself, but I cannot seem to get performance data for any other project assemblies I've configured for instrumentation. At first I noticed that it was instrumenting the project assemblies in their respective project \bin directory as opposed to my web site's \bin directory. Then I tried using target binaries and selected my assemblies directly from the web site's \bin dir, but that didn't help either (and also doesn't seem like the right thing to do). So... any clues ...Show All

• Visual Studio Class Designer with a Web Site project

  Hi, I'm using VS 2005 Team Suite Beta 2, and can't seem to get Class Designer to visualize anything in a web site project.  I can't even see my namespaces/classes in the Class View window. I found a thread here that stated there were problems with the class designer in beta 1 and some CTPs, but that it was resolved in Beta 2. Any tips on what I may be doing wrong   I'm just starting with a blank solution, and making a new web site project in it, then adding a web form.  No code, no nothing, I just wanted to see that web form's class in class designer to begin playing around, and can't seem to get it.

• SQL Server After moving to SQL2005, disconnected recordsets are ready-only

  We're using ADO disconnected recordsets. On SQL 2000, we could update these on the client (without propagating the changes to the server) even if the underlying view or table was non-updatable. When running our apps against SQL 2005 (using the same client-side environment), we can no longer change any attributes of those disconnected recordsets, that connect to a non-updatable database object (the rest of the app runs fine, we can update all updatable database objects through disconnected recordsets) . Does SQL 2005 respond to such calls differently from SQL 2000, so that ADO recordsets are built in a new way (which makes them read-only i ...Show All
