• Visual Studio Express Editions Express .img [Image] files cannot be burned to disk with Nero as stated !

  The webpage where you download Visual Express Beta 2 image files states that you can use Nero Ultra Edition 6 to burn these .img files to disk. This is incorrect. When I attempted to open any of these .img files Nero responded with an error message stating that the file format was incorrect. I haven't bothered downloading and trying Roxio as I really don't want to have to purchase two cd rom writing programs. Has anybody else come across this problem and what workarounds are there Note: these files open correctly in IsoBuster so there is no file corruption. Have ...Show All

• Visual Studio SourceSafe Integration without SourceSafe CD

  Hi, I have a desktop with Visual Studio 2003 that needs to connect to our SourceSafe Server, but I don't have the SourceSafe CD to install the integration files. Is there a place on the Visual Studio 2003 discs that the files are located Or, can I copy the required files from a desktop that alreday has the integration installed to the one that does not Can I download an "Integration Setup" anywhere Thanks, FD Hi Dave, It seems that your VS2003 version doesn't include a VSS 6.0d CD (it should be a separate CD, only with VSS on it). Since you say you have a VSS 6.0a, it seems to me you didn't have VSS coming ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Root Namespace for VB Project

  It seems that I am required to have a Root Namespace specified in the project options for my Workflow Assembly. If I do not have a root namespace specified I receive the following error: option 'rootnamespace' requires ':<string>' I have currently only tried this in VB.NET and not C#, so I don't know if this happens in both languages. Is this some sort of a bug I like to expicitly declare my namespace for each class and remove the root namespace. This used to be a bug in beta1, but should have been fixed in the latest beta2 release. Shelly ...Show All

• Visual Basic Close code window causes screen "earthquake"

  I'm having a very annyoing and frequent problem with the VS2005 IDE when I close a child window. When I close the window, the whole IDE screen starts shaking in convulsions. It's like VS can't figure out what to do when the window closes, so everthing jumps around -- toolbars, etc. Finally, it will stop. Once it's stopped, the caption bar for the main IDE will be completely missing. The menu bar will be at the very top of the screen (I'm working maximized). Once I close the open window, everything gets back into shape and the caption bar reappears. We work in both C# and VB.Net, and at this time I'm not sure if the behavior described is l ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple workflow/more complex examples.

  Hi, I gone through the labs, examples etc for WWF and whilst they all demonstrate different aspects of WWF, they are all rather simplistic, implementing only a single workflow. What happens where there is more than one For example, in ASP.NET there can only be one instance of the workflow engine per app domain. On page1.aspx, I need to execute some workflow and take action based on the result so I add an event handler, eg: workflowRuntime.WorkflowCompleted += new EventHandler < WorkflowCompletedEventArgs >(WorkflowRuntime_Workflow1Completed); Another page, page2.aspx also executes workflow, so again it seems I have to h ...Show All

• .NET Development How to programmatically release logical port ?

  Hi All I am developing an application host (Remoting listener) from C# v1.1 for windows clients. I am using logical port ( say 9000 ) for my server to listen for the client’s request, I need to release/close the logical port when ever I restart my listener, so, how can I programatically release/close any logical port used by my application Thanks!

• Visual C# issues w/ standarizing client side/server side includes...

  I have been searching for a way to standardized my include files in C# -- both server side and client side. ---------Client Side Issues----------- Adding a javascript file with a few reusable functions is easy.  However, when adding it into a VS .NET project causes me issues.  The complier attempts to compile it -- and naturally it FAILS.  It doesn't know what the word 'function' means (among many other terms).  So i'm stuck with either removing the file from the project, but leaving it within the project file structure.  I don't like this approach because it causes isses with updating and source safe.  I could ...Show All
