• Visual C++ zipping a project

  I have Windows XP and I'm using Visual C++ 2005 Express beta version and I created a Win32Console application project with 2 driver files and a header file. It compiles and runs perfectly. In windows explorer, I right clicked on the project folder and selected send to compressed (zipped folder). When I open the zipped folder and click on the project, it does open but when I click on any of the files in the solution explorer, I get this error: c:\DocumentsandSettings\Temp\wzf7ee\Driver.cpp\Cannot open file Is there anything special I need to do in order to zip projects in such a way that they can be opened and be executable Thank ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sorting unbound column of numerics in datagridview

  Been stuck on this for a while... I have a datagridview on a windows form that is not bound - not bound to a database.  The user is able to click on each column header to sort the rows by that column using SortMode = Automatic.  However, when a column contains right justified numerics, the rows still sorted left-justified.  How can I get the Automatic SortMode to sort the rows right justified in a column contatining simple text boxes with only numbers Or would I have to use other methods like SortCompare Nothing like answering your own question here... Ok, I used SortCompare to indicate how t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Saving My.Settings variables

  This is a two part question. My weather program stores a partner ID and license key for the user in My.Settings, as well as a string collection for their favorite zip codes. The app is set up to check my website for updates to the program and install from there. When you install a newer version of the program when it prompts you to, it makes you lose your My.Settings variables. I'd really like to not have to write these to a text file somewhere and then read them every time. Is there any way to stop this from being lost when you upgrade Also, I was trying to find where the program gets installed so I could look at the config file for it. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Plain Text Return

  Using the return character "\n" or "\r", and saving it to a text file, when opened in notepad, the return does not show, but it shows in rich text editors. Is there a return character in .net that works in notepad Thanks for your answers. I used the Environment::NewLine and it works for me. Splitting the textbox into an array was also a good idea.

• Visual Basic Shadows and Overrides

  Hello! Does anybody know the difference between : a) using Shadows to "override" a member or  the base class not declared as overridable and b) using Overrides to override a member of the base class that is declared as overridable The result in the interface of the derived class seems to be the same. Thanks, Dimitris Another thing to mention here is the following. Actually it's the same thing but just to be alert... If the original class calls the method inside it, it will call the original method, while the derived class will call the method that shadows the original! However, if the method was not shadowed bu ...Show All

• SQL Server Push Merge snapshot fails with Data is Null message.

  Hi, I'm converting a replication script from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005. I am getting an error with push merge with no way to figure out what is wrong. I've configured replication on a single XP server in SQL 2005 RTM version. I have a push merge set up between A and B and between B and C. All 3 databases are 9.0 compatibility. The snapshot and merge jobs for the A to B run fine with no errors, and merge replicates ok.

  Hi, Im in the process of developing a distributed application that has dynamic web menus and other components that are stored in my sql database. the menu is set at load time on the master page, and as you can imagine this will become a big problem having to query the db everytime I load the page.

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to limit the scope of a Field?

  While working with multiple process definition templates we have noticed that all fields are visible accross all projects regardless of which template was used to create the project. For example: We would like to customize the Priority field in the Bug work item definition and change it from an Integer to a String. Original : < FIELD name = " Priority " refname = " Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Priority " type = " Integer " reportable = " dimension " > < HELPTEXT > Priority to the business </ HELPTEXT > < ALLOWEDVALUES > < LISTITEM value = " 1 " /> < LISTITEM value = " 2 " /> < LISTITEM va ...Show All

• Visual Studio compilation for dotnet 1.1 framework

  is possible to use visual studio 2005 to compile applications for the 1.1 framework i haven't found any options that let me choose which runtime target. I have several applications running and i cannot move all of them to 2.0 framework in a day. Luca, Visual Studio 2005 does not support v1.1 of the framework. If you want to write your applications using VS2005 you have to migrate them to v2.0. We are looking at providing a solution that will allow command-line builds of v1.1 applications using MSBuild, but it doesn't sound like that's what your after. Neil ...Show All

• SQL Server Using an ADO recordset destination in a pipeline

  I am able to get data into a Recordset Destination, but now I want to put that data back into a database. Basically I want to use the Recordset as a source. I want to insert the data back into SQL, and hopefully other DBMS's. Can this be done easily   Any code samples, or places to find them.  I am not a programmer, so the better the instructions, the better.         You can not simply use your RecordSet as a source. That is not what it is designed for. You can definitely loop over the rows in the recordset and do something with them. The following ...Show All

• Architecture Adding EntLib 2.0 to a Solution, what would be the best practice?

  I have a few Class Library Projects (e.g. BLL, Components etc.) and a Web Project in one Solution. I would like to utilize the Enterprise Library 2.0 in this Solution as much as possible. The application blocks need to be accessed from the BLL, Components and probably the Web App. My question is what would be the best way to add the Enterprise Library 2.0 to this Solution so that all Projects within this Solution can use it. I could add the application block ddls to each project. Add the application block source code as individual projects to the Solution. Or maybe add the dlls only to the Web project because it i ...Show All
