• SQL Server BI Dev Studio won't install with June CTP reinstallation

  I am attempting to install the BI Development Studio, from the SQL Server 2005 June CTP, on an XP machine.   It installed successfully the first time I installed it, along with all other Workstation Components and BOL.     Subsequently I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Workstation Components, but the installation process does not fully install BI Development Studio.   It creates the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE directory (where devenv.exe should be located), but this directory is empty other than the PrivateAssemblies and profiles subdirectories.   After an installation , the Sta ...Show All

• .NET Development Create virtual com port in C#?

  I'm working on a project where I am reading from a com port to receive data from a GPS receiver. I can do this without any problems except for one. There is also another application that wants to read from the com port at the same time. I know there are com port splitters that I could use but I'd rather not have to use any 3rd party software. Is anyone aware of any way of emulating a com port so that I can point the other application to this port and have it read the data that I am spitting it Thanks, Brady I don’t believe that this is possible to emulate a com port through the SerialPort class. The only op ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie - How to port application from VB Express to Web Developer

  Good morning, I have surprised myself by creating a wonderful little app in VB Express Edition 2005 that reads SQL data, allows the user to use various filters, calculates fields, updates the datavaiew/dataset, and exports data to Excel. Between each of the three pages the app creates a xml file of the data. I have now downloaded Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition as I would like the application to be available on the web. Am I right in thinking that effectively I have to re-write everything within VWB, or can I just put a VWB 'front end' on my existing code etc Is there a resource simple enough to take me through what's nee ...Show All

• Visual C++ Batch Build Broken

  Re Visual Studio 2005 Standard: I'm testing with a large project (240 components), and I found that parallel builds don't work from the Batch Build box, no matter what setting I use (1-32) for the number of builds. Oddly enough, parallel builds worked fine in Beta 2, and they still work if I choose to build a "solution." When I do a batch build, however, I'm back to one CL process at a time. This same project took 3 minutes to build in Beta 2. It takes over 20 minutes to build in the release version. My build machine has two Opteron dual-core processors, and my project has a large number of subprograms, each with an x86 and an x64 target. Un ...Show All
