• Windows Forms Combining VB6 forms with VB.Net forms

  Hi all,,, I have a project developed using VB6, and I want to add many other functionalites and forms to that project. Im thinking of developing the new forms and functionalities using VB.Net. The question is: can I combine the two environments for developing a single project, and if yes what is the side effects and the drawbacks Thank you Hi, I would recommend consuming the VB6 DLLs from a VB.NET application. That way. you have a .NET application which is talking to older COM dlls rather than having a COM based application that is talking to .NET DLLs. Here are some good articles to read for both approaches: Using .NET Assemblies Fro ...Show All

• SQL Server Strange cube processing error

  We have a bit of automation that creates a relational star-schema database and deploys and processes an SSAS2005 database (using an XML/A deployment script). Sometimes (but not always) during this process an error is thrown: Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbCommand interface was being used: A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: Shared Memory Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.).

• SQL Server multiple datatables passed to one report?

  Is it possible to pass multiple datatables to one report (within one dataset) My stored procedure would have two or more select statements. Only one resultset is supported. You could add a parameter to the stored procedure (or write a wrapper). The parameter determines which resultset is returned. You would then define multiple datasets in the RS report and call the stored procedure with different parameter values. -- Robert ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Device Install problem - previous version of Windows Mobile software

  I know I have seen the fix for this before, but I'm not sure where. I created a nice app for the PocketPC and decided to make a cab file for installing it on a few different PocketPC's (all had PocketPC Second Edition and where Dell Axiom). When I put the cab file on the device and click it, the installation works, but I get the classic pop-up: The program you have installled may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile Software. I thought that VS2005 was going to fix this (and it probably has), but I can't seem to find out what the trick is do make the cab deployment not display this message. Tha ...Show All

• Windows Forms Application.exe.config file disappears on compile

  I have added my application.exe.config file to the bin/debug folder for the application in which I am building. The problem is everytime I compile it deletes from the folder. I am runnig VS 2003. Instead of adding to your bin/debug folder, add it to the root of your project and name it 'App.Config'. Visual Studio will automatically rename and deploy it to the bin/debug when you compile. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Specifying Window icon via string isn't working

  Using Feb. CTP: I have a WinFX control library which contains various Window objects. The project layout looks like this: - DefaultUI.csproj - LoginScreen - LoginScreen.xaml (Window) - Images - icon.ico (Resource) Unfortunatly, I can't figure out how to specify the Window's Icon property in XAML. In other control libraries I was able to use Icon="/Images/icon.ico" and it would work; however, in this particular project that fails with a BamlParseException in InitializeComponent: "Error at element 'LoginScreen' in markup file 'DefaultUI;component/loginscreen/loginscreen.xaml' : '/Images/icon.ico' string is not a valid ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work item assigned to multiple members of the team

  How to assign more than one people to a work item Especially in the case of pair programming, where two people on a task is more a rule than an exception, would a solution for this problem be useful. I suppose, that one could change wit definition and remove the VALIDUSER constraint on the field, but that is not all. Even if you are able to enter the names of two devs that work together, that pair would be used as a opaque piece of info and the rest of the system (e.g. warehouse) wouldn’t account for two owners of the task when processing reports etc. Even more, I don’t know how such a solution would work in view of recent change ...Show All

• Visual Basic Changing application settings from within the program?

  I've looked through numerous past postings about this, but none really address the issue of updating an application setting (ie, a connection string) from a running VB program.  Assume all the required stuff is in place (admin user...)  This seems like something that lots of applications would need to do during install or first run, or while creating/initializing additional databases. First, it's clear that My.Settings. can't do this.  The connection strings (application settings) are read-only for My.Settings. I'm using ConfigurationManager to make the changes, and it does make the required change in the prog.exe.config file. ...Show All
