• Visual Studio Express Editions Getting files with specific extensions using FolderBrowserDialog

  Hi everyone. I'm making a media player using the BASS API Library and Direct-X. My problem is, I'm using the FolderBrowserDialog component and I know it can't filter files but I need only files with specific extensions to be added to the Listbox I have on the form. So far the code looks like this: Public Sub foldertoplaylist() Dim plug As Integer = 2 Dim playlistid3 As String Dim chosen As String Dim filInfo As IO.FileInfo AddFolder.Description = "Choose the folder you would like to add to Tray-Play" If addfolder.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then ...Show All

• SQL Server @@servername returns NULL value

  I have a SQL 2005 clustered server which is returning a Null value for @@servername. I find the server entry in sysservers. I have replication configured on this so i am not able to do a Sp_dropserver & sp_addserver as this acts as a publisher. The configured merge repication stopped working because of this issue and I am not able to delete replication as the the delete option uses @@servername which returns a null value. So I am struck in a loop. Any advice is appreciated. thanks Hi, Have you rename the virtual server name or the participating node name Peng ...Show All

When I'm running this website in VS2005 IDE (press F5 or Ctrl-F5), everything is OK. I publiced this site.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) avoiding right arrow presses after entering a quoted property

  As I'm going through the FebCTP examples, I'm entering the xaml in manually to explore and better remember the available properties. When entering a property like VerticalAlignment that has in-built options (Stretch, Top, Etc.), pressing tab results in the cursor moving to the right of the quote. This is helpful and allows entering further properties without moving to the arrow keys. When entering a property value that isn't appearing in intellisense (like a Heading or Click that is done manually), pressing tab or enter just insert whitespace inside the quotes. Pressing shift+enter results in a newline being created above and the cursor ...Show All

• Visual Basic Context Menus

  There must be an easy way to do this but I sure can't figure it out.  I have three listboxes on a form and one context menu that has "Select All" and "Select None" in it as options. If I assign this one context menu to all three listboxes, how in the .Click event may I determine in which listbox to select all or no items I'd make a small listbox class. It will have declared a new listbox with Friend WithEvents You will create a click event, that is common to all events that uses the sender argument to determine who has called you. Your main class will want to get these objects. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS6 with VS.NET 2005 RTM

  We have been using the VS2005 Beta2 in conjunction with VSS 6.0d for about 6 weeks now, without problem. Everything was working very well, checking in/out, etc from the VS interface. I just installed the VS2005 RTM and when I start VS2005, it no longer recognizes that I have any Source Control. Furthermore, when I attempt to open the project we have been working on, it gives this message: "The project X:\NETPROJECTS\ProjectName appears to be under source control, but the associated source control plug-in is not installed on this computer. Source control will be disabled for this project." Before anyone suggests going to Tools --> ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Requests...

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All
