• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I perform the Button1_Click subroutine?

  I coded in a Button1_Click event and it works properly when Button1 is clicked.  Now, I want to also "perform"  this Button1_Click subroutine from my Button2_Click subroutine. My Button2_Click event (labeled "Back") subtracts 1 from a counter.  Then I want to perform the Button1_Click event (labeled "Next"). How do I "perform" the Button1_Click subroutine (without clicking on Button1)     Just double-click on your "Next" button on your form & insert the code to increment your counter. How did you do your "Back" button event ...Show All

• .NET Development Return as String size limitation?

  All, Does anyone know of a size limitation when returning a string from a web service We are returning a string of XML from our data layer and it appears to get cut off at a certain size. Thanks I am executing a SQL query with the 'For XML Auto' statement. I use 'ExecuteXMLReader' into a datareader. The XML is cut off at this point. Seems to be always in the same place. So is it a limitation of the data reader ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing behavior of "Show XSLT Output"

  I want to change the behavior of the "Show XSLT Output" button in Visual Studio. Essentially, I want it to use whatever process it is using to render the transformation, but I want it to display the output in my own custom integrated web browser. Can you give me some pointers as to where to begin this project You only possibility is to override the command and handle it yourself. For example, you could use CommandEvents.BeforeExecute to do this. Craig ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting two cubes

  I am using SSAS 2005 and I have a situation where I have two different cubes that I need to link up so that I can get related data from one cube to the other.  Here's the scenario: I have a customer cube that gives me metrics about how many new customers, inactive customers, etc based on date ranges and other criteria.  What I need to be able to do is once I have a subset of customers I want to be able to look at related measures that belong to a different cube.  I have thought about making a large cube that contains multiple fact tables and allows me to grab both measures as necessary.  The reason I'm trying to avoid ...Show All

  Compiler: Visual Studio.NET 2002 Hi everyone, I am having trouble teaching myself Property Sheets. I thought I grasped the ideas but I get a 'First-chance exception' in the Output window when debugging. I do not think I am doing anything special, my code is: CPropertySheet propsheet(_T("Property Sheet")); MyPage pageFirst; // derived from CPropertyPage MyPage2 pageSecond; // derived from CPropertyPage propsheet.AddPage(&pageFirst); propsheet.AddPage(&pageSecond); if (propsheet.DoModal() == IDOK) { } MyPage and MyPage2 are created in the normal way in the resource editor and the classes are created using ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) sqlmetal clashes

  i use table names as the column names for foreign key references. for example, operator.account refers to account.id the sqlmetal generated code won't compile in this scenario, as it defines Account twice, once for the account column, and a second time as the account reference. In any case, just something to think about, i guess.   sqlmetal has an option to generate a schema xml file.  I haven't used it myself so I can't say for sure but my guess is you could edit the xml file to change the property names and then feed the xml file back into sqlmetal to generate your class library. - Kurt ...Show All

• Visual Studio Custom Editor

  I am currently trying to integrate a custom editor (for an in house scripting language) within visual studio. The editor itself has been build as a seperate windows application. However, i wanted to convert it into a VSPackage. I have read whatever is available in the VSIP sdk, but that's not much! I have also looked into the basic edit sample (provided with the VSIP sdk), but i somehow feel that it might not be the best way of getting things done! Is there any other information available online, if possible, the source code of a well designed package Thanks in advance. For an example of a well designed package have a look at the new ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista While Activity - Loss of status

  Hello, I have a custom activity having its own serializable data. When using it in a SequentialWorkflow together with a following Code activity, I'm able to query from the Code event handler the data in the custom activity. When placing both in a Sequence in a While activity, the data in the custom activity is lost and the code activity sees my custom activity as created by constructor. I've read that the While activity re-initializes its child activities each time it loops (can I somehow prevent this ) but my problem occurs in the sequence inside the loop, in other words, the loop executes the first time... Thanks forward to your respo ...Show All

  Have just installed and registerd VB Express. I received an email with a link to the registrations benefits page ( http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/ LinkId=52054 ).
