• Visual Studio Subversion SVN with Visual Studio 2005

  Anyone know how I can use Subversion SVN source control in combination with VS .NET 2005 to have source control for a website served on IIS with Frontpage extension 2002 Thanks in advance guys! We did not specifically test VS 2005 with Subversion, so I would not be able to comment whether this is possible or not. You might need to talk to Subversion developers to resolve this.

• Visual C# How do I pass a class as 'parent' to a form? (using VS2005 Beta 2)

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to get screen metrics on user's PC?

  There has to be some way to do this -- In fact, this is already in my "bag of tricks" for HTML/Javascript development -- but I don't know how to do it in Visual Basic .Net (2005) yet. It's gotta be pretty simple -- I just want to know how big the user's screen is. Say I have a 500 X 500 window. If they're in 1024X768, I want to place this window at (524, 0). But if they are using 1280 X 1024, I'll place it further to the right -- for instance, (780, 0) But to do this, I need to know the user's screen resolution. Thanks in advance, Matthew Dim intX As Integer = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Wi ...Show All

• SQL Server Raw files - create once

  Hi, I try to add multiple files to a raw files. I use a loop for it and set the write option to "create once", so that the file should be created when the package is started and files are appended as they flow to the destination... However I always get an error when I try to add the second file that the raw file already exists... Well, I expect that it exists but I don't expect this error because that's not the intended behaviour! Is there anything I also have to do to use the raw file as it's described in BOL Thanks, All answered here Thomas: http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/archive/2005/12/01/2443.aspx &n ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS will not start after SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade

  Hi guys, I have experienced a problem with a SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade, where hotfix.exe reported an error during the SSIS component upgrade, and then the SSIS service would not start back up. I have since attempted an additional SP1 upgrade on the server, which completed successfully, however the SSIS service still will not start. The server is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1 with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (x86), which had been a clean RTM install prior to the SP1 upgrade attempt. The following information was located in the C:\Windows\Hotfix\DTS9\Logs\DTS9_Hotfix_KB913090_0.log file (the servers name has bee ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "late binding" communication and more questions

  I have several more basic questions concerning indigo: 1. Does the WCF provide a way to communicate to a slick way to communicate to a web service which is discovered during runtime. As an example: somebody provides a WSDL and an operation he wants to call from this service as well as a XML message he sends to the service and a XSL that he wants to apply to the response message. Currently I do something like that with a manual HttpWebRequest. Is something like that possible with WCF in a better way or is the contract/a known interface a requirement for WCF communications 2. Is WCF supported on the Compact Framework or will it be 3. ...Show All

• .NET Development Changes to stored procedures do not reflect in associated table adapter

  Hi, I created a new SP in SQL Server Express 2005. This procedure select 4 values in a table based on a value that is passed to it. Then, I created a new DataSet file in Visual Studio 2005 Pro. and configured a TableAdapter to connect to the database and bind the 'select' command to the SP. I can see the 4 data columns in the right-side window when I choose the SP. So far, so good. Afterward, when I try to make a change directly on the SP and add a new column to be returned, these changes are not reflected in the TableAdapter. Even if I create a new dataSet file, configure a new tableAdapter, it seems that the program persist to use th ...Show All
