• Visual Studio Addin for Visual studio 6.0(msdev.exe)

  Hello, I am trying to develop an addin for Visual studio 6.0(msdev.exe). I am using DevStudio Add in Wizard for it. It provided me default code for handling application events and debugger events. But my objective is to handle copy,cut,paste ,print commands in editor.These command are not the part of IApplication events or IDebugger events. Could anybody please help me in finding the best possible solution for this. As per my understanding Cut,Copy,Paste methods are part of ITextselection interface ,which i try to implement in my class,but unable to handle those events as there is no proper event passing. Thanks and regards, Ruhina. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sub Procedures

  Hi Folks, Can you call one sub procedure (clearButton_Click) and use it on the same form in another sub procedure (clearToolStripMenuItem_Click) without coding it all over again. Thanks.......Eric Depends on what their event arguments are - if they are the same, it's a matter of having a "handles" clause added to the one method you wish to be invoked with each of the events it should handle. For example, I have two buttons on my form - the following code handles the click event for both of them: Private Sub Button1_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Event ...Show All

• Visual Basic 2005 App terminates when I switch to another program

  My VB.NET 2005 application terminates any time I swtich to another program, both in the IDE and deployed. For example, I'll run the app in the VS.NET 2005 IDE, and CTRL-ALT toggle to Internet explorer, and my app terminates. There is no warning or error, it does not break on any line of code. It just disappears. Any thoughts Thanks in advance. Adrian Just a few questions. First, are you certain that it terminates, or is it simply hiding itself In other words, look in the process list and let me know if your application disappears. Secondly, do you mean that you "alt tab" out of you ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Start SS Business Intelligence installed from SS 2005 Express Edition Toolkit

  I downloaded and installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Toolkit. Installs completed successfully, and I can launch the SS Management Studio, but when I launch SS Business Intelligence Development Studio, I get message saying " Windows is searching for devenv.exe". When I search for this file I don't find it on my hard drive. I thought I'd reinstall the SS Express Edition Toolkit, but I can't find this application in the Control Panel Installed Programs list, so I can't uninstall it. Any ideas as to how I can get SS Business Intelligence Studio ...Show All

• Windows Forms trouble resizing a panel at runtime

  I have a panel on a form which I would like to be able to resize using numericUpDown controls. I have written handlers for the value of either of the UpDowns changing to resize either the width or height of the panel, but when I try it, I cant actually get it to change size. The code I'm using to resize the panel is this: this ->panel1->Size.Width = ( int )numericUpDown4->Value; I'd appreciate any suggestions as to what the problem might be. Thanks, Julian Hi, since Size is a structure, when you do: this->panel1->Size you're returning a copy of that structure so when you cha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching is Broken - Severe SQL Error

  About two weeks ago I was able to successfully create a feature branch off of our Main\Src directory.  Last night I tried to help a co-worker create a different feature branch off of Main\Src.  We tried from the VS 2005 UI and via the command line with no luck.  Both ran for 15 minutes without completing.  Finally we left the command line branch going all night and when we got back in this morning the following error message was displayed: C:\Foo\Branches\Feature>tf branch $/Foo/Main/Src $/Foo/Branches/Feature/XYZZY A database error occurred (SQL error 0) ---> A severe error occurred on the current command.

• Visual C++ Visual C++ Express with ADSI?

  At work I use Visual Studio 2003 .NET edition. I developed an ISAPI filter to authenticate against Active Directory. I want to know if there's any hope of compiling this on Express edition, so that I can occasionally work at home. I have trouble because atlstr.h is not available, and winldap.h includes schnlsp.h, which also is not available. I am using CString. I have downloaded and hooked up the Platform SDK, so other atl files are available, just not atlstr. I am trying to replace CString with <string>, I think this will go OK. So what about winldap.h I guess I required it for ADSI. I think it is also needed for string conve ...Show All
