• Windows Forms designer can't load form. Where is 'more information'?

  after going from beta2 to rc1, the designer all of a sudden cannot load my forms anymore. instead, i get the infamous window with the red top that says some errors may go away building the project, while other need code changes. needles to say: the file compiles fine, the form could be opened with the beta2 and vs2003 designers and obviously doing a rebuild doesn't help at all. now what the additional error message says; Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information. ok - great. now how do i retrieve the loader exception property. how can i fix this where can i find more info ...Show All

• Visual C# How to define arrays in C# Struct

  Hello, I've searched through forum using search for my problem and finally I got to make new one. Here we go. I'm trying to make a structure in C# which converted from this Delphi code. When it comes to "Array [0..3] of String[128]", I don't know how to make a C# structure to match this type of structure. I'd like to know if there is any method available to declare arrays like this in C# or not. So far I've tried, I cannot declare and cannot even marshal the C# array too.

• Visual C++ Debug in Windows NT

  Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005, How do I debug my MFC application in Windows NT Regards Manoj Jangid VS2005 doesn't run under NT I guess that means you can't, unless you can connect to debug remotely. For debugging on anything apart from my dev environment, I would use error logging rather than install VS on lots of machines. For starters, I'm not legally entitled to, I don't believe. Also, it's better to test on a virgin machine and work out machine specific issues through a mechanism that also gives you a way to gather information when a crash on happens on specific *client* machines. And believe me, this DOES ...Show All

• Visual Studio Deploying Crystal Reports via Prerequisites + Windows 2000 test failed.

  G'day, I'm upgrading a VS2003 Crystal Reports solution to VS2005 and Crystal Reports (10 I assume) and my MSI needed to be migrated. Following some research http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms225227(VS.80).aspx I've determined that creating a new MSI Project in the VS2005 IDE seems to be the best way forward. I've elected to use the MSI Property pages "Prerequisites", "Download prerequisites from the same location as my application." I selected the following:- Microsoft Data Access Component 2.8 .net Framework 2.0 Crystal Reports for .net framework 2.0 Windows installer 3.1 So the MSI build an ...Show All

• Smart Device Development using bit values in VS 2005 database manager

  Hi, Here's my problem : I'm using the server explorer to manage my sdf database, some collumns are in bit format, when I put some data in it (using the manager), I got checkboxes (to put the value to 1 or 0 I figure). But if I don't edit the checkbox (meaning : if i don't put the checkbox to "check" value) the manager let the collumn value do DBNull. I guess I can check then uncheck the cell... but doing so on more than 10 collumns in 5 separate tables with at least 20 rows in each... I think you can figure out how long it takes. Are you planning on updating this part thanks! Seta, I understand what you' ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to prevent an Workflowinstance from terminating

  Hi there I'm currently working on a (runtime-)service that should start a workflow for errorhandling if an instance faults. The service works fine as long as I trigger it by the instance's terminate event (Runtime -> WorkflowTerminated), but I want to prevent  the instance from terminating and instead suspend it so it could be resumed and starts at the State that caused an error previously. Is anyone there who could give me a hint how to stop the instances termination By the way: I can't use the Sequence Workflow's Fault view to handle errors 'cause I've got to implement my Errorhandling in base classes from which our w ...Show All
