• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dialogs on a 3D cube...

  I'm trying to make 3D animated cube with dialogs on it. I must make different dialogs on different sides of cube. Dialogs must support interactivity with users, such as enabling text inputs in a TextBoxes, clicking on Buttons, etc. Have you got any suggestions about solving this problem I'm using Vista CTP Sep 05.   To clarify, this has been asked on the newsgroups and answered; http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.windows.developer.winfx.avalon&tid=ca97025f-d0f7-480f-9ba0-c9eb6307f963&cat=en_US_2d78eed5-8929-4737-a ...Show All

• SQL Server How to do a SELECT on SP Result

  Hi there, Problem: Having an old webapplication with dynamic build sql queries. Now the database changed completly because of new db model.

• SQL Server Microsoft SQL Server Setup Support Files (English) -- Installation failed

  I'm trying in vain to upgrade sql server 2000 to 2005 with great headache and pain. I (finally) have removed all Beta, and other incompatible version of .NET, Visual Studio and any other offending components, and made it to the first page of the install shield. The .NET 2.0 components installed fine - but I get a fatal error trying to install the SQL Server Set Support Files. I do have a log file - and have tired searching on the various error codes in it, but am coming up blank. Please advise - this is taking forever! sample of error msgs in log file: MSI (s) (B0:E0) [12:33:06:613]: Note: 1: 1935 2: 3: 0x8002802F 4: 5: Crea ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Workitems and Permissions

  Hello, is it possible to prevent a certain kind of user group, e.g. [Project]\developers, from creating workitems of a certain type. The idea is, that only the PM is able to create "Task" workitems, but the developers may create other kinds of workitems e.g. bugs and so on. Thanks  Stephan Hi Stephan,                One way to do this would be to grant your Customers R/W WI permissions to just one Area node in the hierarchy (maybe just create a new one just for this purpose), in which you do not put in anything else (lik ...Show All

• Visual C# Generics and interfaces

  Hi all - let me first say that I personally like generics.  That said, I have a question that is stumping me.  I'm sure there's a logical explanation, but I just can't seem to find it. I have an interface that returns another interface from a method: public interface IReturn { //... } public interface IInterface { IReturn Function(); } I know want to have generic interfaces, like this: public interface IReturn <T> : IReturn { //... } public interface IInterface <T> : IInterface {    new IReturn <T> Function(); } The problem comes when I try to implement a clas ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can Anyone Relate To This???

  Hi There http://www.geocities.com/tablizer/oopbad.htm Cheers Bronco Billy "Beer and Fast Women are Ok... No Cigarettes or Hard Liquor Allowed" "Good grief, that sounds simple but you have to interrogate a DNS to do this in a DLL and return that to Excel. That's hard stuff to do and there's very little info about it on the net." Wahoo.... and I found a complete and very professional DNS.REQUEST class on the net in C#. I built it and vb.net is doing absolutely beautifully with the DLL's classes. This isn't Fortran billy. you could appropiate some like this with a library but this allows me to s ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) drag and drop between list boxes

  Hi, I'm just looking for a simple example of how to drap and drop an item from one listbox to another.

• Visual Basic load complete

  Is there a way to tell if the form load is complete so I can have run when it's done. beacuase when I just put something at the end of the form load it doesn't continue loading until that code is done. Which some times can take a while. The behaviour your describing sounds correct and by design that is the form load doesnt complete until all code within the form load event is run. The following article describes the firing order of the form events and a little bit about there unpredictable firing order and ways around this. http://www.knowdotnet.com/articles/eventfiringorder.html Hopefully this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer right click confusing options under documents folder

  Using VSTF Beta 3. When you right click on the folders under "Documents" in Team Explorer, you get the option to "Add work items with Microsoft Excel" or "Add work items with Microsoft Project". Should these options really be here (I would expect them to be available under the "Work Items" folder, but not here.) I understand that you want to make clear to the user that work items can be added via Excel or Project (WORK ITEMS EVERYWHERE! :) In the name of consistency, why not just use a similar menu as what Windows already has (right click on desktop)      New -> Microsoft Excel Worksheet    New -> ...Show All

• SQL Server Sorting files within a Solution folder

  I'm a newbie to SQL 2005 and am trying to find out how to rearrange files within a Solution/Project in the Solution Explorer. I have created folders within the Solution, but when I add new files to the Solution, they appear to attach at random (within the folder) and then stay in that position. I can drag the files from folder to folder, but can't seem to sort them WITHIN the folder. There doesn't seem to be anything in Help (or maybe it's how I'm phrasing the question... ) Any help on this would be appreciated - the list of files gets longer each day and it's getting harder to relocate a previously used query... ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How is WWF Store Persitant Workflow Information

  Hi ,   I would like to know the storage used to store a workflow in the WWF, is it built on SQL Server 2005, or is it on a file system. well i am asking so since i am planning to provide a windows service to act as the hosting environment, and i need to know do i have to provide my own persitant storage mechanism or is it already provided. Akram - the persistence service in WWF is pluggable.  There is a built-in persistence service implementation that uses SQLServer (SqlStatePersistenceService).  You can either use that or create a derived class from StatePersistenceService and register it with the WorkflowRuntime (Workf ...Show All

• SQL Server packages and data source views do not work?

  Hi, doing my first steps in SSIS I wanted to copy data from 2 different SQL 2000 database servers to a SQL 2005 Data warehouse. For not having to deploy additional views and procedures to the individual systems I chose to create a Data Source View to create an abstract view on the different data sources. I found out that I can have named queries pointing to the two different data sources in the same view. 1 Project, 2 Data Sources, 1 Data Source View with 3 Named Queries When I now add a Data Flow Task to the Control Flow how can I specify my DSV as Source for Transformations I even added both OLEDB Connections to the Connection Man ...Show All

• Visual Studio Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC Install Issues

  I can not unistall or repair the Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC. The msi thinks PPC is intalled but it is not seen by VS 2005. It gives this error when trying to repair the install: A network error occurred while attempting to read form the file: c:\Windows Mobile 5.0 SDK for Pocket PC.msi.

The message does say there is a network error. So I have done the download about 5 times placed the msi in different locations and always get that error. I al ...Show All
