• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Management Studio can't be found

  Sorry if someone already covered this, but I can't find anything about it. I just installed (3 hours ago actually) SQL2005 Standard Edition (from the Launch event) on my machine, and i don't seem to have a shortcut to the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio anywhere. I looked for a likely executable, but couldn't find it anywhere.  This wouldn't bother me as much if I could use Enterprise Manager from 2K, but SQL2005 will not allow it to register. How do I get this going   There are people here that want to inspect it's features, etc.  I haven't got anything to show them.   By ...Show All

• .NET Development BackgroundWorker a 'One trick pony'?

  If one uses the ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker and drops it as a component, it gets wired in and one can use it to do non GUI work on your form. All is fine... But what happens if the action it performs is a common occurance and one needs to reuse the object after it has performed its operation There is no reset method that I have found. As far as I can tell, it would be better to programmatically create the worker instead of dropping it as a component. (Unless you are dropping it onto a dynamically generated dialog). That way you can place the common initialization code into a method to be reused. Are my assumptions correct Please prove me ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test projects and private/protected members...

  I watched a Channel 9 video showing some Team System stuff and they included showing off unit testing. When the speaker was asked about private and protected members, he said they had something for him, but he never actually said what it was. How is this possible I don't want to have to make methods public and wrap a property around every field just for testing.

• Visual C# Checking if a specific handler exists

  I was wondering if there was a simple way that I can check to see if a specific handler exists for a control. I know I can simply create and set a boolean variable to true once I create the handler, but I was hoping that there was a simple way, without the use of additional variables, to check whether or not the handler has been created: My control is a TreeView, and is called tvRobot. I create the BeforeSelect handler, tvRobot_AlwaysBeforeSelect, within another event. The problem is, is that I have two handlers for the BeforeSelect event, both of which get created and destroyed throughout the program, so I can't simple check t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is it possible to get the CodeElement of a projectItem, when the item is not the active document?

  Hello, I have some problem with the following code: EnvDTE. Document doc = item.Document; // EnvDTE.CodeElements els = doc.ProjectItem.FileCodeModel.CodeElements; EnvDTE. CodeElements els = item.FileCodeModel.CodeElements; either way my FileCodeModel is null, since my Document is not the active document. Now my question is, if anybody knows, if it would be possible to get the code element even it is not set to active document.

• Windows Forms Adding Child Forms to User Settings

  I'm trying to persist the child forms of an MDI app to the user settings and it doesn't appear to be possible, at least as far as I've found. Is there a way to do this in the desinger, or will it require a custom setting implementation Brad It works for me (in Beta2), and works the same way regardless of whether the form is an mdiChild or not.  In the Properties window for your control, e.g., a textbox, expand the (Application Settings) property. Click the ellipsis (...) button in the (PropertyBinding) field.  This raises the Application Settings for 'textBox1 ' dialog.  Scroll down to the pro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Make a tool window always display on startup.

  How do I force a tool window to display even when in the previous session I had closed the ool window. There must be some point in some interface where I can set the tool window to visible and it will display. However, I would like it to stay closed after it's been closed in the session and then not re-appear unless explicity enabled or visual studio 2005 is restarted. Same way the start page works. Thanks, Darren By default, all tool windows will appear on restart if the window was visible when Visual Studio was closed. The Start Page makes its self the topmost window when it is shown, and you ...Show All
