• Visual Studio Express Editions making a default button

  Hi!! I’m writing an application that the user write a number in a textbox and then press a button to process a sub. I want the user write in the textbox and when ends press Enter and call the same sub. Is this possible Thanks for the help. I remember in VB 6.0, there was a much easier way doing it.

• SQL Server SQL Express Minimum Requirements Warning on Windows 2000 Professional???

  The computers here at work run Windows 2000 5.00.2195 SP4. Everything checks out with the minimum requirements at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/sqlreadme/#_3462_setup_issues_238p However, one of the "Reports" from the installation says the machine does not meet the minimum requirements, but provides no details. It installs and I have Admin rights on this machine, but I can't even connect to the Northwind database that I downloaded. Is this due to our logging process where the "system" is actually in another country (ie, "CITYNAME/Username" Any help is appreciated! Jason ...Show All

• .NET Development Deploying .NET 2.0 Apps with Installshield

  My Code Project article covers deploying .NET 2.0 Apps with Installshield. Basically, it involves adding a Custom Action to run a script that starts a program to detect whether the target has v2.0 of .NET installed and then runs dotnetfx.exe as required. http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/InstallDotNet2.asp I've supplied full source code + .exe, the script and instructions for adding it to a project using InstallShield X. There's also a sample project. It doesn't handle the problem of installing to a target that doesn't have Windows Installer 3.0 because there doesn't seem to be a way to install Windows Installer 3.0 from anoth ...Show All

• SQL Server Server Time Dimension - Reference Dimension issue

  Here is a scenario that mirrors the type of thing I am trying to accomplish: I have a date field called 'OrderDate' in the Orders table. I set up a Server Time Dimension for it (e.g. 'Orders - Order Date'). So I now have an Orders dimension and a 'Orders - Order Date' dimension in a regular relationship. In the Orders table I have a foreign key relationship with a Product table through ProductID. So I set up a dimension called Product with a regular relationship with the Orders dimension. I then want to build a relationship such that I can break down Products (and product costs etc.) by Order Date. So how do I relate the 'Orders - ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Load tests not getting dependent files

  I have some working coded web tests. However, when I use them in a load test, almost nothing happens. The first POST is passed and then the load test does not GET the dependent files (with the exception of the style sheet according to the server log). After this, nothing. The load test does not attempt another POST. In fact, the load test monitor does not even report that any tests are under way. It only reports user(s) and request(s). Now, I've done load tests on external production websites using the same steps without problems. The only thing that I can think of, is that when attempting to log in, our web app launches a child wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot Delete or Move

  I am using a Beta or Pre-release version of Team Foundation Server. The problem I am having is that I moved a directory to a new location and it went to the wrong directory: \DirA\DirA instead of \DirA. Then things got out of sync. The directories under \DirA\DirA, I tried to move to \DirA and then delete \DirA\DirA. It then gave errors that the directory already exists when I tried to do a move. I now can't do anything without getting an error. Is there some sort of analysis or repair utility that I can run to get things in sync Surely someone can tell me how to repair this thing.

• SQL Server Storing an array in an SSIS variable

  I am not much of a VB.NET programmer, so forgive me if the solution to this problem is obvious. What I am trying to do is store an array from a Script Task in an SSIS variable and then access it from later script tasks. In brief, this is what I have tried so far: Init (Script Task) This task initializes an array: Dim processes(0) As System.Diagnostics.Process Dts.Variables("Processes").Value = processes LOOP - Start (Script Task) This task is contained in another loop and starts a number of processes, while storing the process objects in the "growing" array: Dim processes() As System.Diagnostics.Process processes = Dire ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Create document on server and remove manifest

  VSTO Team First I want to thank you for the great tool you created! If have the following situation: I have a (template) document with cached items. From this document I want to create new (user) documents on the server where I set the cashed items.
