• Visual Studio Express Editions Two templates missing

  I submitted a question in the Visual Basic General area that I should have been here. In case it has not been seen I am resubmitting it here.

According to a magazine screen shot there should be five icons in the New Project dialogue under the heading Templates: Visual Studio installed templates I have three icons at this location & they are: Class Library, My Movie Collection Starter Kit & Screen Saver Starter Kit. There are two missing icons namely: Windows Application & Consolw Application. I have Repaired the installation without any change taking place. H ...Show All

• Smart Device Development DirectDrawCreate returns DDERR_NODIRECTDRAWHW

  Hi Using eVC4 and CE5 MIPS When I call DirectDrawCreate, i get the error DDERR_NODIRECTDRAWHW back, indicating that my hardware does not support any hardware. Does that mean, that I can use NO DirectDraw functionality at all, or can I still query ex pixel formats, get a pointer to screen buffer etc  I have previously used GAPI on PocketPC 2003 devices, but GAPI doesnt seem to be available for MIPS under CE5, anyone knows if that is correct TIA Lars Hi Lars, If DirectDrawCreate returns DDERR_NODIRECTDRAWHW, no DirectDraw functionality may be used. GAPI is only available when using the&n ...Show All

• .NET Development Creating a new ASP.NET membership provider

  Hi, I have recently installed MS SQL Server 2005 Beta and am now trying to use this to store my membership/profiles information instead of the MS SQL Express. But I can't see how I'm suppose to add the Provider.  All the documentation that I have seen has said that it can be done via the "Web Site Administration Tool" under the provider tab.  By selecting add new provider.  But it isn't there Anybody else got any ideas Thanks I have the same problem. I have generated App Service Database with the name "Butikk" (did not use the default name aspnetdb), on my server OPS01\FULLSQL. My connection st ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Child Menu Stays on Child Form

  I'm creating a MDI form and I have a child form already created with a menu strip on it. When I load the child form, the contents of the menu strip go to the MDI menu strip. Is there anyway possible to keep the child menu strip with the child form I don't see why the child menu doesn't just stay with the child form anyways. I have been watching people view this post and nobody has responded to it. Is it because there is no solution, and that the child menues just appear where they are, or is the question unclear at best Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Basic include DLL widthout make reference....

  Hi everyone. I use an external DLL and I want inlay the DLL into my exe program. (I don't want copy the exe program and the dll file, just 1 file!) How can I do that and I can call the dll file in the code Hello! I would recommend embedding the external dll into your assembly and then using reflection to locate and load it. That would allow you to compile it all as one file. There are some fancy linkers on the market that allow you to do this but your scenario is pretty straightforward. I hope this points you in the right direction. Christopher ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual Studio 2005 Conversion Problem

  We recently moved over to VS2005, and need to use some of the custom serial port libraries built in .NET1.1. The problem is that we now get an error for some of the handlers, which worked perfectly in 1.1 In the sub below, the procedure is trying to handle errors produced by an instance of the serial io dll, _SerialIOPort. The problem is that it no longer seems possible to handle the errors from the io dll (Error: "Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated" ). Am I right in thinking it is all to do with the new cross-threa ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Sept CTP - Failed Installation - It Wants Disk 2????

  I have a brand new Dell server with a clean installation of Windows Server 2003 on it.  This server has never had SQL Server, Visual Studio, etc. installed on it.  So, this is the first attempt at installing SQL Server 2005 (in this case it is the Sept CTP). Everything appears to be working fine for the installation.  Then approx. half way through a message box pops up with a very generic message.  The message simply says to please insert disk 2.  What is this   There is no disk 2.  I downloaded the image file en_SQL2005_DEV_Servers_Sept2005.iso from MSDN Subscriptions.  And, this error doesn't allow m ...Show All

Ever since I havent been able to connect to the database and am very worried about it as I have spent a week tearing my hair out to no avail.

• .NET Development What about ODBMS systems?

  I came across this new website: ODBMS.org and it got me thinking how nice it would be if my data objects were stored natively instead of being mapped to SQL tables. Luckily, they had a link to a database called db4o . I highly suggest people downloading their free SDK and giving it a try. It's amazing how fast it is, and it's Soooooo easy to use. ... It's not a code-generator, or an O/R mapper. It stores your objects natively without any extra help. You don't even have to implement special interfaces on your objects, or derive from any common base types. yes an OODBMS will help in "independence mismatch". bu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Toolbar button on all mail items in Outlook 2003 using VSTO

  I'm new to VSTO and Outlook programming. I'm having difficulty creating a toolbar button that will appear on all mail items (both new mail and received mail.) When I use the code in the Outlook programming labs for VSTO, it seems like the button only appears on the first window I open, and not on any other window. Does anyone have a quick snippet of code that can show me how to do this Thanks, Ike Hello Ike, well when programming Outlook there are some pitfalls. Maybe you can look on my VSTO Sample "X4UTools" that deals with multiple Explorers and Inspectors and also when you use Wo ...Show All
