• .NET Development access permission probelms. HELP ME!!!

  I have two computers, a desktop and a laptop, both running win xp home. Both are wirlessly enabled and connect wirelessly to the internet through a belkin router. The desktop will happily see the laptop and share files, and everything seems to work just fine. The laptop, however, refuses to see the desktop. I have shared all folders properly, both are part of the same workgroup, and I have run the network set up wizard, and tried to connect using RUN and the IP address. Whenever I try to connect the laptop to the desktop I get the same message; \\... is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Cont ...Show All

• .NET Development Managing connection strings across projects

  I may not be able to ask this very well, but please bear with me.  We have a Windows solution that we have written, so far, in one big project.  We are begining to see the benefit of have things seperated into individual projects.  A problem we are running into, however, has to do with connection strings.  We have a test database, and a real database.  Up to now it has been relatively simple to switch between the two because we have had only one project to worry about; one place to write the code.  However, if we split things up into multiple projects, we do not see a convenient or easy way of doing ...Show All

• SQL Server Licensing question, and other report building tools

  When you buy CALs for Sql 2005, are you getting license to use developer tools with each CAL In other words, is SSBIDS part of the package. Not everyone in our organization would use it, but I don't want to buy Visual Studio 2005 licenses just because we want to have a few more developing reports. Report Builder is fine for adhoc but we want a team of designers working with BIDS. Is anyone using other builders like Cizer Does not seem to be a very big selection out there. tia Also, keep in mind, unlike RS 2000 you do not have to purchase VS. If you have VS 2005 then the designer will integrate with it ...Show All

• SQL Server Error by converting string to decimal

  Hi, I'm trying to import a text-file into SQL2005 by using SSIS. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work in the way I thought. Because I'm using the german version of SQL2005 I need to translate the items of my toolbox, so dont wonder if their names are not exactly the same as in the english versions. Try number1: a) My datasource is a flatfile, in the connection manager I changed the DataType for the input column to DT_DECIMAL. In my destination table the data type of ths column is decimal(20,4). Name of the column is "NXT_PUT_PX". b) Running this package results in this error: "Fehler bei der Datenkonvertierung. ...Show All

• Visual Studio c# Project template with linked file

  I exported a Project template from a working class library project, which has the following linked file element:     <Compile Include="..\DalBase.cs">       <Link>DalBase.cs</Link>     </Compile> This works fine in the original project, but when I create a project from my template the include path ends up pointing to some temp folder, such as: C:\Documents and Settings\bradk\Local Settings\Temp\5oohnkvn.04c\DalBase.cs The linked file is obviously broken then, and the project won't compile. Is there any way around this I tried a custom parameter wi ...Show All

• Visual Basic how to change path for saving excel

I think the only way I can think of is to change the directory option in the excel itself. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS and One-way Domain Trusts

  TFS is not operating as I would have expected with regards to authenticating against a trusted domain. As best as I can tell from the User Education site, our configuration should be supported, yet I'm in a situation where the user accounts from the trusted domain cannot authenticate to TFS, and TFS group management will not allow me to add users or groups from the trusted domain either from the UI or using TFSSecurity.exe. The User Education article I'm referring to is: http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/articles/546436.aspx Our configuration: Two domains, "Production" and "Development".

• Visual C++ OpenMP support?

  VC++2005 Beta 2: As it seems the following files for OpenMP support are missing (at least for my installation): vcomp.lib and omp.h.

My intermediate manifest includes references that seem correct to the dll. And still it does not wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Analysis

  Is it possible to magage the code analysis rules that are excluded through the Process Template Manager For example, we'd like to disable a consistent set of code analysis rules across all our projects. How can this be done Thanks in advance.

• Visual Basic Formatting the msgbox

  I am creating a simple payroll calculator. It crunches some numbers and spitts out an report-like messagebox. For now I've thrown together msgbox ("Ouput here") but the box that results is small. Is there a way to format the size of the message box Is there a better type of output (ie a report similar to one you'd find in access ) Thanks The more text you put into a messagebox, the bigger it gets. However, if you want to output some sort of report, a messagebox is the wrong tool, you should create a new form to show the report. A datagrid is the best control that's built in for showi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with installation

  Hello! I know that this may not be the correct place for this, but I'm kind of new here and there are a TON of forums. Anyway, I installed the WinFX runtime Beta 2 for Windows XP, then I installed the Windows Vista SDK. Then I downloaded the Visual Studio 2005 extensions. The installation went fine for all of them. However, the extensions weren't working correctly for VB.NET 2005 Express. Intellisense never popped up, and Visual Studio wasn't recognizing control names from XAML documents. So I talked to someone about it, and they told me to try it with C#. So I downloaded Visual C# 2005 Express, but it didn't recognize the WinFX project temp ...Show All
