• Visual Studio Express Editions WSH in VB.Net Express????

  Hello, I'm trying to do multiple things that seem rather tedious and or difficult with VB.NET Express. Run part of the code as an administrator Read/write NTFS permissions on files/folders Map Network Drive I can do all of these fairly easily with VBScript and WSH. I was wondering if there is a way to access WSH from within VBScript or if it would be easier for me to have the VB program create the vbscript (WSH), run it, then delete it. Thanks Yeah, if you're using WSH then ADSI is the most commonly used object library. My guess is that the COM component you found probably makes it a bit easier. However, if y ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to insert text into word document

  Dear all My boss asked me to insert some text into the word Document. Let say I have a word document with content inside already and I need to insert some text (ABC) into the position of (Line 4, Column 2 or Left 60point, Top 60points) of this word doc. Does any one know how to do Thx Kit One way would be to prepare a document with a token string ( say $$-$$ ) in every place you want to add text later on. Then you can do a simple basic program to scan thru' the doc file and substitute your new text for the $$-$$. You could insert multiple tokens (say $$-$$01, $$-$$02) etc. if yoy want to do multip ...Show All

• SQL Server SSAS Restore of large cube (6.16gb) fails on 64bit Server

  I have large cube (6.16gb) that I backed up to a compressed file of 1.43gb. I restored the backup to a new database on the same server and it failed to display measures from the largest measure group. The measures are displayed as #VALUE. All other dimension and measure groups are OK. The largest measure group file is 4.4gb in the database ie. 1.fact.data file. I remember the restriction of 2gb backup in SQL 2000. Has anyone come across this while restoring a large cube in SSAS Thanks I tried an uncompressed backup and got the following error. It failed to backup in uncompressed mode. File sy ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sort of False warning from CA1801 : Review Unused Parameters

  Rule CA1801:ReviewUnusedParameters fires on methods marked with the ComRegisterFunction and ComUnregisterFunction attributes. If a method is marked with these attributes they must have a single parameter of the type "Type". I chose not to use this parameter in my implementation so now the rule CA1801 complaint, incorrectly i would say (because i cant remove it.). Greetings. I think I'd say that we would still want to flag this unused parameter, as in most cases, it should be used. As the rule name 'review unused parameters' suggests, there are certainly cases in which an unused parameter is ...Show All

• .NET Development MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey

  This would seem to act differently in VS2005 DataAdapter than it did in VS2003. In 2003 constraints would only be added if all primary keys were in the select statement that included joins. i.e. Select * From table1 inner join table2 on table1.id = table2.id would generate a constraint, however the next statement would not generate any constraint i.e. Select table1.* From table1 inner join table2 on table1.id = table2.id both id columns are primary keys. In VS2005 the latter select will generate a constraint based on the primary key of table1 only. Is there any way to produce the same behaviour as VS2003 in VS2005 withou ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSBuild.Task output for solution files

  Hi, I have two questions. 1) We are using MSBuild to organize a series of solutions. MSBuild does not seem to be able to capture the TargetOutputs parameter of the MSBuild task if you build a solution. As a matter of fact, it crashes. I would like to get a list of DLLs that were built as part of the solution. That does not appear to be possible with a solution and the MSBuild.Task output. It works fine for a single project. 2) Is the scope of ItemNames which are populated through an output element limited to the current target If I build a single project instead of a solution, the output parameter of the MSBuild task does return the D ...Show All

• Visual C# Beginner Question - C# Exception Handling - Can't Understand MSDN Example

  If you really want to kill the process, use Environment.FailFast() instead of Application.Exit(). More info about FailFast can be found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/kcwalina/archive/2005/03/16/396787.aspx When I experimented with FailFast I called it like this: Environment .FailFast( "Asta La Vista Baby" ); When the above line executes a fancy message box is shown with two buttons - Debug and Close.  The message on the message box is what I wrote above and I cannot see " Asta La Vista Baby" anywhere on the message box. Are you saying that you see a "send" button on your version   I would be interested to know where it is be ...Show All

• Visual Basic Regions bug

  Every day after I’ve been working in the IDE for a while, the collapsed #regions will not open with a single click on the plus sign anymore. Instead it takes 5 to 10 clicks to open them. Actually in different source code files it takes a different number of clicks in order to un-collapse a #region . (but always the same number of clicks within the same source code file) I sure hope this will be fixed soon. It's been doing this all along since I switched in February. Any idea what's causing this Hi, am experiencing exactly the same issue. Has this been resolved yet or is there a bette ...Show All
