• Visual Studio Adding code lines to a VS 2005 source code file

  I need to add some code lines to an existing source code file (.cs or .vb) in VS 2005. I'm writing a VSPackage that has to do this. Which is the better way to do this - I add code lines directly in the source file as text - I get the code dom graph and I add the code lines adding instruction statement to it and then serializing it again. - other... Any hints Thanks Hi Alex, I found it! If You want to add code lines to an existing project file, You need to use FileCodeModel or CodeModel. This is the alternative to finding and replacing text and/or using CodeDom. Thanks, ...Show All

• Visual C# Embedding an application written in C# in PowerPoint?

  Currently, I am trying to embed a C# application running in a Windows Form into a PowerPoint presentation.  Optimally, the state of the application will persist across Normal View and Slide Show View.  I’m rather new to .NET, so this may be a rather pedestrian issue, but if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

• .NET Development Help declaring Configuration converters

  All these msdn2 examples show standard and custom config converters. They show how to decorate props with them in code.

  Downloaded the img VWD Express edition and burnt on a CD. It has no problem installing onto a Windows 2000 Pro Computer. But using the same CD, when I tried to install on a Windows XP Pro labtop, it hangs at 100% CPU right after double clicking setup.exe. No popup window was displayed.

• Visual Basic Selecting 3D objects using the mouse click to select with VB.NET and DirectX

  Using VB.NET and Direct X to develop a Windows aplication can anyone explain how to identify a 3D object by allowing the user to position the mouse over the object and then clicking the mouse. In this case there may be several 3D objects at different x, y, z locations, but I only want to select one. I'm not sure but you may get a better more complete responses on the directx forums. http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/default.aspx forumgroupid=20&siteid=1 As its probably something that will involve the directx api rather than any specific in VB ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) reference to a object-class with datacontract??? .urgent.

  Hi, in my service I referenced to an object class "Tag". Now I'm using a client with channelfactory and want to use objects from the "Tag" class. How can I do this without letting the client referencing to the original "Tag"-class at the service-side Your copy of Tags.Tag is a different class than the original Tags.Tag class (even if they are named the same) and hence the collections are incompatible. That's what's causing that error message. Nevertheless, since WCF is built with the service orientation tenets in mind and one of them is "share schema, not class", y ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Pocket PC application suddenly terminates

  Hi, In the multithreaded programs that I have coded that run in the background, i always encounter issues when the app suddenly terminates. Reading other posts from forums over the web, most of these cases are due to memory problems, eg. Low Memory, Parts of memory not being freed. regardless of memory problems or unhandled exceptions, are there other ways in which the pocket pc would decide to terminate my apps For example when my app is idle for a very long time thanks and regards, VS2005 has both managed and native code debuggers so it still wasn't clear which of them you are using. I am guessing however that you are using the m ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unexplained stack\heap overflow

  Hi everyone I'm having a little trouble with an MFC application, SDI, pretty simple stuff. However, the running of the app is absolutely crippled by stack\heap overflows. They appeared one day - I have no idea what has caused them - but most strangely there seems to be no real pattern to when they occur in the program execution. It's usually upon closing a dialog box which is used to alter strings in a CTypedPtrArray. A breakpoint is triggered, but in all sorts of different places. This one was in wincore.cpp, line 1812. Like I said, I cannot find the exact action that causes this to occur - sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. ...Show All
