• Windows Forms Error in designer when adding label to FlowLayout Panel

  I tried to insert a label control in front of a combo (not sure it matters) and I got Visual Studio popping up repeatedly a message box: Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index and can't get out of it, only solution is to kill visual studio. ok it's repeatable: I have a form with a flow layout; top down on it in that flow layout I have a data grid, 2nd flow layout and third flow layout both left to right in the 2nd flow layout I have a combo box and check box with flowlayout centered left/right on form.

• .NET Development Switching Connection strings

  In my app_code folder I create a dataset (customer.xsd). The wizard prompts to create or choose a connection string. Now, I have two strings in my web.config file - one for production machine, one for dev machine. In my code, I DIM a New datatable and a tableadapter for my dataset. I then call the getdata() method that the tableadapter wizard created for me. However, I can find no property for connection. In VS2003 I used to set an application variable in global.asax.vb that determined which string to use based on Context.Server.MachineName. I could then use that app variable to set the connectionstring property. Can't do that here. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Web Service Solution not building correctly

  I cannot get my team builds that contain a Web Service Project to build correctly. To test this, I created a new Team Project (with all defaults) with a brand new Solution that contain a Web Service project (with all defaults). Then I created a Team Build (with all defaults). When I run the build, there are no errors - in fact it reports success, and it processes the solution, but my project never is built correctly.  Specifically, I AM NOT getting the  Binaries\Release\_PublishedWebSites folder where the bin folder that contain the dll for the webservice and asmx files should be.

• Visual C# the filename, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.

  I have been trying to start a new project in Visual C# Studio 2005 Express and keep getting the error:  the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007B) I have checked my volume label (WINXP) and the directory (E:\VS2005\) and even the filename that i have entered (MyProject) and can find no invalid characters or syntax in any of these.  Yet each time I try to create a new project, I get this error.  I have even changed the directory in the Options (from the default, much longer directory to the one above and several other alternatives) and no effect.  I downloaded t ...Show All

• .NET Development Multiple connections to an interface

  When I was writing C++/COM in VC 6, we implemented a scheme where a COM server would expose a main interface that would create a secondary interface attached to a communication thread and pass a pointer to this interface back to a client that called in on the main interface. We did this so that there would not be multiple clients calling on the primary interface and be potentially blocked until a previous call on the main interface completed. This scheme worked very well. Now, I'm using C# and .NET remoting to build a "Windows Service" server that will fire an event when it is through processing data - the purpose of the event ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Virtual User Synchronization Point

  Is there a way to have virtual users wait at a given line of code until a certain number of users are doing so and then let all waiting user continue I want to test multiple users performing the same action at the same time with an application under load. Thanks, John Hey Bill, Thanks for the input. You are probably right on all accounts. Many factors will slow one request or another after they leave the agent. Since we will not get the agent license in time I will not have a choice but to test with 1 processor. I guess the multiple agent / rig setup eliminates those nagging questions. Thanks again for ...Show All

• .NET Development Most efficient way to serialize an object into an XmlDocument or an SqlXml

  I have a serializable .Net object that I would like to serialize either in a XmlDocument format or in a SqlXml format. There are many dirty way of doing that (using the XmlSerializer and a MemoryStream is one of them). I would like to know what is the "recommended" solution in that case Actually generating the XML markup to parse it again seems very inefficient to me. What would you suggests Thanks in advance, Joannes http://www.peoplewords.com If you're concerned about efficiency use a binary formatter.
