• Visual Basic System.DllNotFound Exception

  I'm migrating from VB 6.0 to VB.NET 2003. There is a particular file abc.dll that I'm not able to add reference to, though its a dll file. When I try to reference it, the error is 'This is a not a valid assembly or COM component. Only assemblies with extension 'dll' and COM components can be referenced. Please make sure the file is accesible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component' How can I reference this file If this is not being seen as a COM component you likely need to do a P/Invoke against it. In your old VB6 project, did you have a few ‘define function’ statements that reference ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Call Dispose on each disposable field

  This message is not shown by FxCop for .NET 2.0 if owner class is Windows form. public partial class Form1 : Form { Server server = new Server(); // IDisposable class // other code } If owner class is not Windows Form, message is shown. Is there any reason for this Alex, This is actually by-design. Unfortunately, as controls/forms typically have a number of Control fields that its base class is responsible for disposing, this rule had more noise than valid validations within these classes. Because of this, the decision was made to simply avoid firing in any class derived from Control. ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView: why not remove new row when saving?

  I have a DataGridView bound to a BindingSource which in turn is bound to a collection of objects. In the BindingSource's AddingNew event, I will create a blank object, like this:     private void myBindingSource_AddingNew(object sender,         AddingNewEventArgs e)     {         MyClass obj = new MyClass();         e.NewObject = obj;     } The problem is after I finish editing the current row, and press Tab key, it will go to the next row and a blank object will be inserted in the collection.

• Visual C++ Including resources in EXE?

  First: Nikola Dudar - MSFT , this is a question about COMPILING C++ and resources and if I'm MISSING A STEP, it has NOTHING to do with crystal reports, my reports work FINE..now back to the question... I'm converting an app from VB to C++ that uses the CrystalReportViewer in a winform. The VB App seems to include the *.rpt files in the EXE file. When I compile the C++ program, move the built EXE to the network, it says it can't load the report. if I move the *.rpt files to the same network directory, the program runs fine.(I did not have to copy the .rpt's with the VB App) Am I missing something or is this just how it is when c ...Show All

• Visual C# Inheritence of web forms

  In .net 2005 when defining a web form (.aspx), the partial keyword is added, which as I understood, doesn't allow inheritence. How in this case can I inherit a web form Thanks.   Partial type definitions allow the definition of a class, struct or interface to be split into multiple files. Just that. See: Partial Class Definitions (C#) ,          partial (C#) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Server - Settings - Security is disabled

  Occasionally when I bring up the Team Foundation Server Settings menu, all but the last option will be disabled, presumably implying that I'm not allowed to use those menus (but I'm an admin on everything). Closing and re-launching Visual Studio restores the menu to correct operation. Anyone else seeing this behavior I haven't upgraded to the RC yet.  I guess it's about time to do that - I'm not looking forward to it, but it's got to be done sooner or later :) Update - I've upgraded to the RTM version and haven't see this issue since. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can I build a simple Console application that does not use Sxs.

  Basically I just want to build some simple console programs that I can move from system to system (2000/XP) as a single .exe without having to get into the detail of Isolated Applications or Side-by-Side Assemblies. I currently get an error at execution of 'This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.' if I just bring my SimpleC++program.exe to a Windows XP sp2 system.  They all run like a champ on the system with VS2005 beta2. Any help would be appreciated. If you build an application in C++ that does not requ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem with PDF Export CR10 / VS.NET 2003

  Greetings all, Im wondering if someone could shed some light on a problem im having with exporting to PDF. Im updating a report in an existing system - this report used to work fine until I installed VS 2005 on the system and now its stopped working.  The project is still being deployed from VS2003 and the IIS on the local machine is using ASP 1.1 What is happening is quite strange - if we try to use the ExportToStream() method to populate an iFrame it works fine and Adobe Reader populates the report in the browser - if we are just sending it to HttpContext.Current.Response then it stops working. This is the code we are using: ...Show All
