• Visual Studio Source Control on database objects...

  Hello, I want to ask what are the possible scenarios on VSS 2005 + VS2005 Team Suite to source control dababase objects (SQL 2000) Is it still limited to stores procedures as VSS 6.0d + VS2003 do SQL 2005 instead Thanks. Hello, VS 2005 does not have support for stored procedure version control through the server explorer. The recommended way is to use database projects to generate scripts for your SQL Server objects, then use a version control system to manage changes to the project. Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How Can I Benefit From LINQ?

  Hi! I'm modest C# programmer. What does LINQ has to offer me people like me. Any guidance would highly appreciated. Thanks Alternatively (not that Miha's suggestion isn't good -- it's recommended), here's a short answer: To date, there's been no good, unified, low-maintainance way of searching querying graphs of data -- whether objects, lists, or trees. Linq is a pattern which attempts (rather successfully, I think) to do so, and to do so in a manner that is extensible. For example, with DLinq in particular, features are available to the user (or other 3rd party) to implement new DataContexts for their particular needs -- p ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Cancel Button Does not work--A known bug?

  I have no idea if it is a known bug. The important fact for me is that it is a bug. It occurs in _VFP.StartMode = 4 as well as in interactive session (_VFP.StartMode = 0). It caused me to lose numerous error records before I realized what was going on. In exe environment when one error follows another there is no way to quit because the Cancel button does not do what it is supposed to be doing. You crush the system and no records are saved of course. Anyway, this is a stamp of one of the session errors: An error has occured "feature is not available" (1001) ADDPROPTOFORM 2998 ....

• Visual Studio Babel Icons

  I notice that the intellisense icons in 2005 are true color instead of 16 color icons. I tried changing the completionset.bmp image to use true color icons in the babel language service but VS.Net is showing the icons in 16 color format. I assume that when you create the imagelist, it knows the color depth of the bitmap. I also assume that you can store a true color bitmap as a resource just like any other bitmap. Unless any of the above assumptions is wrong, I don't know what else could be the problem. Thanks. When creating an image list with ImageList_Create, there is a flags parameter. you can pass values ...Show All
