• Visual J# Error Configuring Web Site

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 - I have completed Soup-to-Nuts 1 thru 9 doing them in Visual J# and have had to create all added code and files that appear from one lab to the next, not to mention the problems with the differences in ADO .Net with datasets and table adapters anyway I have go thru that, now Lab 10 deals with Web applications so I decided to revist the Lab "Creating ASP.NET Web Applications with J# - Part 1" I had already done this virtually with VS 2003 but now want to do it on my machine using VS2005  -  I am running into a problem right away   for create new project it ...Show All

• Windows Forms IssueVision Middle Panel

  Is it possible to "extract" the IssueList control of the IssueVision app, and include it in other apps Thanks Basically you have to write the databinding code so that you object only cares for datasources that implement the following interfaces: IBindingList, IList, ICollection, IEnumerable,  and ITypedList. Then you should be able to visually "bind"&nbs ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies IFilter Preview

  What interface and registry settings do I use to supply the picture for the Preview box in the Windows Desktop Search window   I tried adding an IViewObject2 to my IFilter DLL but it never gets called. Joe, Thanks for answering, however a statement in a 3rd party blog hardly constitutes an answer. I have no way of knowing from whence Tom comes. I have have opened an MSDN support incident through my Certified Partner account, so I suppose I will have to pay the answer, if it ever comes. Making someone wait months for an answer could hardly be taken any other way than "blowing off your questions". Ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to include an MSI to be installed as part of an install? (Or, how to call msiexec )

  I'd like to install the Office2003PIA as part of my VS2005/VSTO app.  If I include the .msi as a file, I cant set a custom action, since .msi files are not supported I know it should be msiexec.exe /i O2003PIA.MSI, but I don't see how to do this... Hi Bob! Thanks for your quick response, I have been out of office a couple of days so I haven't been able to reply. The thing is, I do not get the error message during installation any more, and I do not know why It is some what annoying, but it only led me to a new problem, the add-in would not load. But after a few hours I managed to solve the problem. Some of the link ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MS: Please release an assembly containing Func<> :)

  The Func<> delegates are already useful, and are trivial to create on our own.  However, without some canonical distribution of them, there are going to be problems coordinating the use of them pre-Linq. Would it be possible to release a live MS version of them, not bound into the Linq preview, to eventually be folded into the main framework, so we can all use the exact same namespace/version and not keep recreating things Unless you've hidden them somewhere I haven't seen Valid concern. But we don't have another release vehicle - having just released VS 2005 (and .NET Framework 2.0) short of these previews and forthcoming ...Show All

• Visual C# Can i set Tranparent BackColor For TreeView Control?

  Hi all, it is simple question..How i can set the backColor of TreeView Control as Transparent color. Each time i make transparent color..it show me an error that the control does not support that..how i can it support..that any feedback,,please help.. thanks in advance.. Bassam Basamad I that case you will have to write your own implementation of the treeview. Create a new customcontrol and inherit from treeview. override the OnPaintBackground Now in windows forms there is actually nothing like transparent background color. The framework does a little trick here. If you set the background of a control to transp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changes to the ProjectName from a Wizard is ignored

  Hey GAT team! I have a fairly simple project template that is running a recipe that helps the developer build the ProjectName for the new project. (among other things of course ;-) The recipe contains the ProjectName argument, ie: < Argument Name = " ProjectName " > < ValueProvider Type = " Evaluator " Expression = " $(AppNamePrefix).Entities " > < MonitorArgument Name = " AppNamePrefix " /> </ ValueProvider > </ Argument > And allows the user to view / change it within the Wizard, ie: < Fields > < Field Label = " Project Name " ValueName = " ProjectName " /> &l ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Is SDK download link broken?

  I have been trying to download the January CTP SDK, but looks like the link is broken. The link for WinFx runtime components is fine, it only the SDK link thats giving the problem. Anyone having a similar problem Hi there, not sure which link is the busted one. There are a few up there. We'll find it though. In the interim, you should be able to use the link below for Jan CTP SDK. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx FamilyId=64750EEF-D4A7-4CC8-92F2-9A201268A231&displaylang=en ...Show All

• Architecture Business Logic Question(s)

  Hi, I believe this is the right place to post this query. I'll give you some background first. I have an asp.net application that accesses business objects which in turn accesses a data access layer to read information from a database, pretty standard stuff!  Most of the pages are simple in that the user can either edit the data or they can't so in the business objects there is a base method that returns a bool for whether to disable the controls or not, this works a treat! The problem lies in the pages that have 2 or more sections that can be disabled depending on certain conditions, so one area may be disabled but another a ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies C# Template for IFilters

  Is there a c# template  for building IFilters Hi AIM48.   Actually, it is not recommended to create a C# IFilter since once you get into multiple CLR versions running on the system.  This means the performance of the system will suffer greatly when each IFilter needs to be loaded and unloaded.   It is recommended to use non-managed code for IFilters for the time being until a good solution is found.   Thanks.   ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bug in CurrencyManager.OnPositionChanged - eats exceptions

  I have a problem with exceptions that never shows. Looking (with Reflector) at the code in System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager, you can see that the method OnPositionChanged eats all exceptions. This is a major bug if you ask me. Why does it do this (Same for 1.1 and 2.0) protected virtual void OnPositionChanged(EventArgs e) {       try       {             if ( base .onPositionChangedHandler != null )             {           ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Release - cannot find help files

  I've downloaded and installed (in this order) SQL 2005 std, the VS 2005 release and the Oct 2005 MSDN.  When I installed VS, I pointed the help step to my OCT 2005 directory.  Now, when I run help from VS, it only has SQL 2005 contents.  WHere can I find the contents for VS 2005, and how do I install it   Thanks... Andrewxxxy: This issue is confusing to many people and I wish that we had done a better job of communicating the change to our customers: VS 2005 uses a newer help system that is not compatible with the Oct MSDN library. You must use the VS 2005 MSDN that came with Vis ...Show All
