• Visual Studio Team System Identifying attributes applied to fields

  This is similiar to another post I had about identifying attributes at the type level http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=86895 but the answer to that problem doesn't work for this one. How do you get information about the attributes applied to a field The attribute I'm looking for this time is [NonSerialized()]. Member.AttributeList is empty and there is no RuleUtilities.IsSerializable overload for Member. I also tried RuleUtilities.HasCustomAttribute(Member, TypeNode) but it doesn't work. I may be using it wrong though. Here is how I tried it: Type t = SystemTypes.NonSerializedAttribute.GetRuntimeType(); TypeNode t ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project. How do I turn off the background compiler.

  VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project.  How do I turn off the background compiler. I have a fairly large project that I migrated from VB6 to VS2005.  This is the RTM version of VS2005.  There are many issues that I need to fix up in the code, but every time I change one line of code, my system runs 100% CPU for 30 seconds. This is not even close to usable.  You might think I have a slow machine, but I am running this in a P4 3.5 GHZ with 1GB of RAM, and a SATA 150 hard drive. I will be forced to abandon use of VS 2005 for this project unless I can find a work around for this issue. Please help! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Virtual PC images

  I thought I heard some talk about Team Foundation Server Virtual PC images being given used at PDC (or TechEd I forget which). I was wondering if there were any plans to make this available to the public or to MSDN Subscribers. It'd be great if they were as it would save a lot of time, when all many of us really want to do is get it up and running so we can test the functionality. Trying to sell this technology to the check writers is difficult as it is, and anything that helps get it setup and running faster would help that. Thanks We're working to make them available for download to MSDN Subscribers. We're ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I share a class between projects

  This is probably a really silly question, but I'm fairly new to C# and .NET. I have a solution with two projects in it, both windows applications. I have a class that I want to be available to both projects, but I can't work out how to do it. I can't reference one project from the other because they are .EXEs not .DLLs, and I can't add the class to both projects because that creates two separate source files, which obviously defeats the purpose. I'm sure it's quite simple, but I just can't see it. even i was trying to do the same thing. share a vb class between two projects. but when i followed the above step ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem using @@IDENTITY when connecting to Access 2000

  I'm building a small C# application which uses ADO.NET to connect to an Access 2000 database. The problem I have is when I save a new record and try to retrieve the new record to re-display the details on my form. I was under the impression that the following query should give me the required result: SELECT * FROM Users WHERE (ID = @@IDENTITY) however when the code executes I get the following error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression '(ID = @@IDENTITY)'. If I try to save an existing record and reload it using the existing ID value then the code executes fine so I can only assume it's a problem with the @@IDENTITY value. ...Show All

• SQL Server Scheduled Jobs & emails ( Sql 2k)

  Hi All, The name of the Server was changed which in turn gave me the following error when I tried to delete the jobs Error 14274: Cannot add, update, or delete a job (or its steps or schedules) that originated from an MSX server. The job was not saved. Knowing that it has to do with the Originator server in the sysjobs table; I hacked the table ( now I think not a good idea ) and deleted all the jobs that I wanted to delete and performed the same task on sysjobservers. Now although I have accomplished the deletion of the jobs. But I still get emails ( job failure notifications) for the deleted jobs exactly at the time th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help with a network project, I guess?

  Hi, I need one more thing I forgot to ask in my previous post. (BTW, thanks, Dave!) I know there was a difficult way in VB 6 to send messages over a network using net send and messenger services built in to windows. However, I have no clue how to do this in VBE 2005, and I don't remember how to do it in VB 6. In addition, is there any way to set up a peer to peer chat service, (I have done this in C++, but not in VB) Thanks for all your help! hi, you can use System.Net.Sockets to build a socket to be used for remote communication those links have examples on how to do that http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/UDP_Send_R ...Show All
