  Try and run a Windows App written in C# from the command line. It will not return the command prompt until the app exits.

Give us more details about Win Forms app you were trying. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why does the install for a native C++ app require .NET 2.0?

• Windows Forms including windows.h in the Form1.h file

  Hello , I have a problem that is : in a VC++ >>WindowsForms.Net  I have included the <winodws.h> file in my Form1.h file then I tried to use the System::Windows::Forms::MessageBox::Show(...) method, but I recieved an error message that the MessageBox class is not a member of Forms namespace . note that I need the to include that file to load an old dll file (unmanaged) Since you used the fully-qualified name, I'd have to suspect that you didn't correctly reference the managed DLL. Or, possibly, Visual Studio can't find it because you didn't specify the location in the property pages. In C++ .NET, you reference ...Show All

• SQL Server Model Designer - ODBC Data Source

  I want to create a Model against an ODBC data source. This is not possible in the June CTP. Will this facility be available in a future release Thanks, Joe Unfortunately the chaps from Partner Tech Support were misinformed. This is a reply from MSAS newsgroup : AS2005 is not going to support ODBC data source. However, you can try to create a data source in SSIS project. Then, add the data source into new AS project. You should be able to create DSV, cube and dimension, etc. However, since this feature is not supported. Believe that this area has not been tested enough and this may break engine or not workin ...Show All

• .NET Development Type.EmptyTypes and its empty object array equivalent?

  I have found the Type.EmpyTypes convenient (and readable) for invocating parameterless methods or constructors. In such case, something like Object.EmptyObjects (instead of new object[0]) would be nice to have since its required by the invocation. Does such shorthand exists in .Net 2.0 Thanks in advance, Joannes I asked for something like this a long time ago except that I suggested it come in the form of a static on System.Array i.e. System.Array.Empty. ...Show All
