• Visual Studio Why not tighter integration with things like MSBee????

  As a huge fan of Visual Studio 2005 it has been very demoralizing lately to look at the passive adoption I know my employer will have because of the amount of risk associated with running parallel versions of the IDE.  That combined with the obvious requirement to start upgrading our shared enterprise framework to start taking advantage of .NET 2.0 features and all of the regression testing associated with that has me feeling like this will not be a very good Holiday season for me or my fellow developers. Wait a second ... I just heard the pitter patter of tiny hooves on the roof.  Was that the .... could it be .... it is ... it ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB2005 Express - Sub Main in Windows application

  hi, Is it possible to use a custom Sub Main on a VB2005 Windows Application project It was possible to set the entry point to Sub Main manually in VS2003, however in 2005 I can only set it to start a form. Thanks,     Hi Ryan, Well, in the full version of VS2005, you can. If you go into the project properties, you can uncheck the box labeled 'Enable Application Framework'. Once that's done, the 'Startup Form:' dropdown becomes a 'Startup Object:' dropdown, and you pick your sub mains and stuff. In VBExpress I'm not sure if it's the same deal - give it a try, and if not, then I guess you can't :) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Inheriting Form Issue in VB2005

  Hello All, As usual, I think I'm doing something that's not "Kosher" in trying to inherit a form to a new Item. I get a ton of errors including data connection, etc. The solution works and builds, publishes and all that, but there seems to be settins somewhere that are pointing the inherit function somewhere else. Please Help...I don't want to redo all of those controls and buttons again on the new pages. Thanks, Elgee...

• Visual Studio Express Editions cant create windows applications

  I did what was told about the comment lines in appSettings.htm like downunder. Step 5: Generate and build a Win32 application to test your paths. In Visual C++ Express, the Win32 Windows Application type is disabled in the Win32 Application Wizard. To enable that type, you need to edit the file AppSettings.htm file located in the folder “%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCWizards\AppWiz\Generic\Application\html\1033\".

• Visual Basic VB Express - Debugging is very slow.

  I just installed the new release of Visual Basic Express.  Before installing, I removed all the Beta products and verified using the removal tool.  I then ran a registry cleaner to get rid of left over references.  I have turned on "terminal services" which got rid of the "binding error" some have mentioned.  Unfortunately, now when running my application under debug, it just hangs with a half drawn form.  It seems to compile and I can run the exe outside of the IDE.  I have searched the forum and seen similar problems, but none of the suggested fixes have helped.  Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom Stored Procs: Determining source table name

  Hello all ... I'm looking at writing some customized insert, update and delete stored procs for a replication target. For various reasons I would like to write a "one size fits all" custom stored proc for each of these tasks. It looks like I can get the data values passed as parameters just fine. I was wondering if there's a way to also pass the source schema and table name as parameters, or to determine these on the fly in my all purpose stored procs. Some replication products refer to these types of values as "tokens" that can be included in the replication data stream sent to the target. I can adjust the s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System OverflowException when analyzing performance data

  I'm running the RTM version of VSTS on a dual-core AMD64 processor and XP SP2. I'm attempting to profile an application I'm working on, and I've made great strides in improving performance using the VSTS SD profiler. However, lately, I've been seeing a message box that says, "Value is either too large or too small for an Int64" whenever I attempt to open the results of an instrumented run. The problem goes away if I reduce my scenario enough, but that also means a lot less data to work with. Even the full scenario I'm trying to profile only generates about 130K of data. I've done a bunch of Googling, but can't find any reference ...Show All
