• Visual C# Where is the Quick Console Window in RC version now?

  I have setup up the RC version of VS2005 for some days and I can't find the Quick Console Window when I was in the debugging mode which should be there. Is it removed in this new version Yes, we have removed the quick console window for the RTM version.  Unfortunately, there were a number of remaining issues with the feature, and we made a difficult decision not to include it in the final release.

• SQL Server Ssimple Data Flow ? - processing after using a Destination

  I have a data flow that reads multiple rows from a table and then inserts to another table for each row. I use an ole destination for my inserts. However, after that insert I need to do other table inserts and I can't figure out how to continue the data flow with the fields in the pipeline. Out of the destination is only the Error flow - Is there a way to do this thx Yes, sort of, but you'll need another data-flow. Use raw files to transfer data between different data-flows. -Jamie ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. I really like the product and have convinced my manager we should move to it but I can't really do that in good faith if the team is going to lock up frequently. Cheers, Clint It is true t ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Deploying PPC2003 project (coverted to VS2005) in WinCe5.0 device

  My application was developed in vs2003 C# CF1.0 and Sql Server Ce with SQL Server 2000 for synchronization for PPC2003 devices. I am trying to convert that project to VS2005 sothat I can deploy it on Windows Ce5.0 device. The conversion wizard didn't successfully convert the project, it kept throwing the error Compact Framework 1.0 is not installed on the computer even though I had it and I can compile the project in Vs2003.     So I installed VS2005 on other computer and successfully converted the project. But still it didn't give me the option to connect to Ce5.0 device. So I created new Vs2005 project for Ce5.0 devices an ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Corrupted texture on Radeon

  I'm using C# and managed DirectX to display a mesh with two texture stages. It draws fine on a GeForce, but looks corrupted on a Radeon X300 and also a ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. I think it started when I added a second texture stage to modify the texture color before rendering. You can see the results on both cards here: http://gosub.com/DirectXTextureError.htm Here's how I setup the render states: dx.RenderState.Lighting = true; dx.RenderState.NormalizeNormals = true; dx.RenderState.ZBufferEnable = true; dx.RenderState.CullMode = Cull.CounterClockwise; dx.RenderState.ColorWriteEnable = ColorWriteEnable.RedGreenBlueAlpha; dx.RenderState. ...Show All

• Windows Forms RowLeave event raised to early in DataGridView?

  Can anyone tell me why the RowLeave-event is raised before e.g. the CellLeave or CellEndEdit It seems to me more easy to handle events when this ordering will be changed. It is a true sin. In an object oriented environment, it would have been comfortable that it was the single object (in this case the maskedtextbox ) to be able to get back if the contained value was correct or no. I think that is strange that if I moving with the mouse or the keyboard between 2 columns he has 2 different behaviours. Thanks al lot I’m sorry for my painful english ...Show All

• Visual Basic Overloads in a Module

  Can I not have multiple Overloads in a single Module I'm converting from VB6 to .net and I'm having the issue of trying to use the same sub or function with different forms. I thought the solution might be to use an overloads statement, but it seems to only let me use one. Here is an example: Overloads Sub gp_DisableInputs( ByRef frm As frm1, ByRef DIndx As Short ) Overloads Function gf_Method( ByRef frm As frm2 , ByRef DStructure As DirectStructure) As Boolean The first one seems to work fine, I get the blue line under the second and I can't complie.
