• Software Development for Windows Vista What is the correct forum to ask about a Vista copy that can't be installed?

  When i try to install the "Windows 'Longhorn' Professional x64 Edition Beta 1" on my PC I get an "setup.exe is not a valid Win32" error. When I try to boot from the CD, it wont! Just some specs on my PC which may/may not be relevent: Athlon 64, SATA Raid array, Asus K8V-X motherboard. Most probably you are running setup.exe from x86 OS (I received the same error when I run setup.exe of x64 XP on a x86 XP). On booting from the DVD, did you burn the DVD yourself Can you check if you have boot priority set to DVD as 1st priority I suggest that you try reburning the DVD from the ISO image on a different med ...Show All

• .NET Development Problems bring the MEM USAGE down on my program...

  Hi I'm using VB.NET, and I think that some of my objects have to many open references, and instances, but I don't know which one holds a reference to the other one. Is there a way that I can dynamically program it to show me which connection is still open, whick datareader is still open, which StreamReader, or StreamWriter is still open. My program was running at almost 450MB MEM USAGE, and while the program are open, the memory usages start chunking away all available RAM. Anyone with any suggestions I already dispose some, or all of my connections, and the forms that are not in use, but it still runs at about 170MB RAM. P ...Show All

• Visual C# proper way to close a form using toolStripButton

  this is an embarrasing question: what is the proper way to close a form when using toolStripButton I'm currently using: Form1.ActiveForm.Close(); for my toolStripButton6_Click method. however, that call is somehow causing the index to change on a comboBox on my form. The index change is then causes master/detail datagridview to change, which then causes commit errors. Nasty side-effects. Any comments appreciated. Regards, Ayat108 If the tool strip button is part of the form class that you are attempting to close, can't you just call this.Close() ...Show All

• Visual C# Blocking ALT+CTRL+DEL in your application!

  Hello all How to block ALT+CTRL+DEL or ALT+F4 in your c# application. Thanks for your help. I assume that you work on the windows form. If so, there is a way to prevent ALT+F4 from happening. In the properties window, double click on the KeyDown Event and it will take you right into the source code. Then, you want to type the following highlighted code down below. private void (name of KeyDown)_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F4 && e.Modifiers == Keys.Alt) e.Handled = true; base.OnKeyDown(e); } PS let me know how it works out for you. ...Show All

• SQL Server Should this be an error rather than a warning?

  If you have a package that uses an environment variable for an indirect configuration and the environment variable is not present when the package runs you get the following warning: The configuration environment variable was not found.  The environment variable was: "Seer.ConnectionManager.CUECommonReference". This occurs when a package specifies an environment variable for a configuration setting but it cannot be found. Check the configurations collection in the package and verify that the specified environment variable is available and valid.   IMO, if the package is expecting to find something and cannot find it then ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System error 28943 on install of TFS RTM

  I have followed the exact steps in your installation instructions, including installing the patches, and I can't get past this error message on the TFS install (the text in the message says it can't connect to the Analysis Service). I have done a clean install using the standard edition of SQL Server. I see that a recommendation has been made to use the answer file on the SQL Server install in other threads, but I get an invalid file error when I try to use your answer file. I blew everything away and started over and the error no longer appears. I think the problem lies in the install of the Hotfix for SQL S ...Show All
