• Visual Studio Build is being skipped

  So I got my copy of VS 2005 Standard at the rollout event and installed it.  I took a compact framework project produced in VS 2003 and copied it to a new directory and converted it to VS 2005.  When I attempt to "Clean", "Build", or "Rebuild" the project I keep getting the message " ========== Build: 0 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 1 skipped ========== ".  I tried deleting the exe's and the object files manually to no avail.  I tried turning off edit and continue assuming that it could be making decisions about when to build and when to skip but it still just keeps skipping.  Any ideas Bill Yes.. This was ...Show All

• Windows Forms IssueVision v.s. JavaScript

  I honestly think if we use Javascript and CGI to write a Bugzilla-like HP, the total lines of code will be less than what is in IssueVision, to achieve the same level of functionality. What is the point in the SmartClient With a web app there is no way it could be used without a perm connection to the internet network. ...Show All

• Visual Basic creating a vb code file to hold all functions

  Hi, I want to create a visual basic code file that I can place all my functions in so that all my programs can use this one file instead of including the function in each webpage, etc...similar to a #include file for C++.  How do you do that in Visual Basic .NET You cannot do that and you don't really need to. You need to make a class library project, put your code in there and add a reference to that class library into your web projects.   ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums And the winner is...

  Within a few weeks, the winner of the Worlds best app contest will be anounced, so I think it's an interesting question to ask: Who (or which app) will win   My guess:   In the Games section I think somebody from the netherlands will win... There are a few good games (actualy a lot of good games, but these are the best in my opinion): - Hangman (very basic and simple, doesn't require a fast pc, everybody knows how to play it - Tankwars (the one with the most launches, I like it, but it get's kind of boring after a few times... But it's still a good 2 player game! - Pool (nice graphics, very smart use of MSN Ear ...Show All

• Windows Forms datagridview with combobox column

  I have a datagridview with the first column as a combobox. Sometimes when I enter data into all the columns of a row and continue to tab to the next row, the data that I entered disappears. The datasource for the datagridview is a dataset and normally this works correctly. But I shouldn't get intermittent wrong behaviour. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, /jerry I found the problem... the row of information depended on a 'click' in any column to assign a value to a variable... I was occassionally entering data by just tabbing from one column to the next. I have since changed the code to a ...Show All

• SQL Server Script Task vs. Script Component

  Under "Control Flow Items" appears the Script Task. Under "Data Flow Sources" appears the Script Component. The Script Task also supports .NET scripting so why is it intended to be used with control flow and not data flow TIA, barkingdog The Script Task executes in isolation. It has no reliance on any other task nor vice versa. Components however work in unison with other components in the same data-flow. That is why the script task works in the control-flow and script component works in the data-flow. What requirement do you have that caused you to ask ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using Win32 API to get mouse click

• Smart Device Development Debugging without ActiveSync?

  Is it possible to debug a native application from Whidbey Beta 2 on a Windows CE 5.0 device that doesn't include activesync   In the device settings the only choice seems to be ActiveSync. What is happenning is that the emulator is not recognizing the idle loop in the BSP and is trying to execute it at maximum speed. The workaround is to change the idle loop in the SMDK2410 so that the emulator sees it and goes idle. The key sequence of ARM instructions that the emulator is looking for is generated by:  do {} while (!fInterruptFlag); So here is a sample implementation of OEMIdle that will cause the ...Show All
