• Visual Studio Compiled exe Crash but run from Visual Studio 2005

  Hi, I encounter a "strange" execution problem : when i run my application from VS2005 (using F5) it's working fine : no exception, no error, nothing. If I open the .exe in the /bin/debug/ directory , my program close itself when I click a button. But i still have no exception, no error, nothing : I just get back to windows. Someone already saw something like that Ok, I found : It cames from an error making a P/Invoke ; a wrong SizeConst size in the Marshaling using [ MarshalAs ( UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = XXX ) ] .

• Visual Studio Team System FxCop == Microsoft Development Guideline ?

  Does FxCop use the Microsoft Development Guidelines defined here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/cpconNETFrameworkDesignGuidelines.asp Thanks. Clement No, some of those guidlines are considered "wrong". I don't think FxCop strictly follows any one published set of guidelines; but, Framework Design Guidelines would be the published guidelines that it follows most closely. ...Show All

• Windows Forms VB2005 - Listview Column Sort

  I'm having a problem that is cited fairly commonly on the net. I've tried various solutions and all of them have the same problem. I'm trying to do a column sort. String variables sort nicely. However variables that are integer variables don't sort at all. The order is very messed up. There is some sorting but not based in the full magnitude of the sorted integers. Can anyone help me with this. I've tried several ways of doing this, beginning with MSDN examples and they all have the same failing. Hello, plz could you tell me how can i get the selected item in a listview (multiselect disabled) i wanna use it on an other form (form2)... ...Show All

• SQL Server Error during FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage

  Greetings, I created a custom security extenstion that worked great - except every call to FormsAuthentication .RedirectFromLoginPage would result in a "The return URL specified for request redirection is invalid." error type message.

• Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?

  I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. Here's my background ( being totally honest ). I am self taught, I learned C++ back in the late 90's. From there, I moved to C# because ASP.NET is the best platform availabl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Getting even weirder...

  Hi; I built a VS 2005 simple Add-In, tested it, and it worked and I could break into it in the debugger. I then did the same in VS 2003 and it also would run and I could set breaks in the debugger, but it required winword.exe.config set to .net 1.1 I then went back to the VS 2005 one (deleted winword.exe.config). Now when I try to run it, breakpoints I set in the 2005 Connect.cs (the projects & dlls have different names) break in the 2003 connect.cs. And the 2005 AddIn gives me the message that it was built without debug information (it IS the debug build) and therefore breakpoints won't work. If I go in the registry and remove the 2003 ...Show All
