• SQL Server How to ignore compile warning messages in VS.NET 2005

  Does anyone know how you can go about setting the VS.NET 2005 compiler to ignore SQL Reporting Services warnings (such as rsOverlappingReportItems) This would be something similar to what you can do on normal projects in C#, where the properties for a project has an option to "Supress Warnings" under the Errors and Warnings section of the Build tab. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can't append menu items to command bar menu after migration from EVC4

  Hi I've migrated my project from EVC4 to VS2005. It's targeting Pocket PC 2003. I'm trying to append menus to a CCommandBar like this: CMenu *menu = AfxGetMainWnd()->GetMenu(); CMenu *submenu = menu->GetSubmenu(0); submenu->InsertMenu(0, MF_BYPOSITION, 100100, L"test"); AfxGetMainWnd()->DrawMenuBar(); The function doesn't return any errors, and in fact the number of items returned by submenu()->GetMenuItemCount() increases by one, so it seems that the item is added. However, it isn't displayed. I tried deleting items, and the same thing happens there - no errors, but the item is still there. I tried getting the menu ha ...Show All

• Visual C# Exceptions in designer - how to find?

  Hi, I have a control added to a form and whenever I open that form it tells me that an exception was thrown in the control and thus it's disabled in the form. However, I can't seem to find where this exception is thrown and everything is fine at runtime. Is there a way to break on exceptions at design time Thanks, Tom The immediate window is included in Visual Studio 2005 beta2. You are most likely to find the command that opens the window in the Debug->Windows menu. Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• .NET Development TableAdapter insert/update/delete order

  I have a typed-dataset with a dozen or so tables which are hooked together with typical on-to-many and many-to-many relationships. I'm using table adapters to do the CRUD actions. For updates I was using: //Update parent tableadapter_parent.Update(dataset.parenttable); //Update child tableadapter_child.Update(dataset.childtable); But I am getting foreign key reference errors when deleting records because the adapter is trying to delete a row from a parent table but it can't because there is a FK refrence to it in a child table.  But if I reverse the order of the table adapter update calls so child tables are updated before p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get Latest Version changes a file's 'Date Modified' and 'Date Created' attributes

  Hi, We are currently using Team Foundation Server as our source control solution for a pilot project. When a user right clicks on a file in 'Source Control Browser' in Visual Studio 2005 and selects 'Get Latest Version,' he/she gets the file without any problem. However, the 'Date Modified' and 'Date Created' attributes of the local file are set to the time he/she got the file from the source control. It is important for us that we get the files with the exact date attributes that they were checked in with. Use-case senario: -User A modifies a file on June 20th and checks it in. -User B gets the latest version of the file on J ...Show All

• Visual C++ Intellisense updates very slowly, and blocks builds - what can I do?

  I'm working on a fairly large program, and the NCB file quickly rises to 90MB, especially after edit-and-continue. Intellisense keeps firing up and showing "Updating intellisense" in the status bar, for several minutes at a time - but much worse than that, it appears to be (read-)locking files that a build needs, so if I use edit-and-continue, then stop debugging, the build that fires off collides with Intellisense and fails, and manual builds fail too, until Intellisense stops. VC7 wasn't anywhere near this bad - it occasionally got confused, and didn't always understand namespaces, and it helped to delete the NCB sometimes ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't save package to Server (No description found) ERROR - Again

  Hello, I need some help with installing release copies of SQL05(+SSIS) and VS05 on Win03R2.  It is very frustrating when a basic install fails. I’ve been going round and round with this.  M$ support has not been of help yet.

• Visual C++ 'static binding' with C++/CLI?

  After asking this question in the VC++ Express forum and not receiving a single answer I gather this forum section might be a better place to search for answers. I have a C++/CLI solution I created in VS2005 Express consisting of a windows forms project (the main programm) and a few libraries - now I'd like to create a single executable instead of an executable and a bunch of dll files. As I can't create static C++/CLI libraries (or can I ) how else can I compile them into a single executable Simply moving the header and cpp files from one project to the other didn't do me any good. Any ideas what I should look for when trying to combi ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I change values in a ListView programmatically?

  I am writing a small program to discover devices on my home network by pinging the entire subnet, then reporting the results in a list view. There are other programs out there that do this already - this is just a learning project for me. I want to do this in a multi-threaded manner so it will be fast. I have the ping portion worked out, and I think I can handle creating the thread pool. My problem is that I want to list all of the IP addresses in the list view (so they will be in the right order) then have the list view update as nodes are found. It would look something like this: IP address Reply 192.168.1.1 ...Show All
