• Visual Studio persistent names.dat may be corrupt msg on VSS Startup

  I have run analyze along and with -C -D -F flags a few times to get rid of a persistent names.dat may be corrupt error msg shown on VSS start up, so far no success.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO Outlook Addin Install Problems

  I created a VSTO 2005 Outlook AddIn.  I use the setup project that is created for me to create the MSI file for installs.  When I run the install on a machine with the install for all users option selected it works great for the user I run the install with.  If I sign on as another user the addin does not load and there is no errors and no disabled addins.  CASPOL is in order for the machine level so I ruled that out.  When I then run the install as that user and choose the Repair option it works fine. I did several registry compares before and after and noticed that the HKCU\Software\Micr ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 can't be added Active Directory, but the documentation says it can.

  Hi, I've installed SQL Server 2005 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 Standard Edition. Before I install SQL Server 2005, I've configured Windows to be an domain controller with Active Directory. As the documentation said that using Object Explorer and then selecting Properties, I have the property page of Server Properties. But I still can't find the Active Directory page. When I try to run the system stored procedure sp_ActiveDirectory_SCP, I can't either register or update. Is this an error or bug Using SQL Server 2000, I can easily add it to Active Directory. Now I can't do it in 2005 version. Please help! Eriawan ...Show All

• .NET Development Serial problems

  Hi there, I'd like to make a simple program that takes an AT Command (those command for modems and cell phones) from a textbox and then tell it to my mobile. The cellphone I'm using is connected with bluetooth. If i use HyperTerminal, when i type ATDxxxxxxxx the phone makes a call to the number xxxxxxxx. This doesn't work with my code, that i write here: SerialPort myPort = new SerialPort ("COM6", 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One); myPort.Open(); // at this point my cellphone asks for a connection and I accept myPort.WriteLine(textbox.Text); // after this line (if the command is ATDxx) the phone should make a call to xx, why does ...Show All

• Visual Studio Grouping on fields which have a space in the table name

  I am attempting to run a 8.5 report in VS2005.  There seems to be a problem with grouping on a field when it's table name has a space in it.  The actual table name is {ccArea Types} in crystal and my dataset.  I get the following message: Error in formula <G_netsf>. 'Sum({ccArea_Types.SM_N_AREA},{ccArea_Types.SORTORDER)' There must be a group that matches this field Notice that an underbar has replaced the space in the tablename.  I have run simular reports without a problem when the tablename does not contain a space. Any ideas Thanks Keith, I tried to verify.  no help.  ...Show All

  Does anyone know when or if the Windows Mobile 5 images included in the Pocket PC or Smartphone SDKs will be updated I suspect the versions in the SDKs are not the same as the versions included with WM5 devices. Thanks, Frank The SDK has Magneto AKU0.0 version and the most recent AKU is 2.1. Is there something in particular that you need out of a later AKU There are currently no plans to release 2.1 (the volume of changes is not high between the two versions), but that can change if there is customer demand.

• Visual Studio Team System DoNotCastUnnecessarily: Release vs Debug

  When I compare the outputs of FxCop for my assemblies in Debug and Release build modes, the results are very different. The Debug report shows 233 more issues that are all related to "DoNotCastUnnecessarily" messages. Is the compiler optimizing things for a release build and that's why I don't see the messages in my Release report That's interesting (and worrying) that the optimizations are disabled if you enable the pdbs. In all my 3 years of using .NET/Visual Studio .NET I never realized that. It's going to have to be something I look at when I get into work today and will probably mean that I w ...Show All
