• Visual C# RTM Web refactoring... Serious problems!!

  I am amazed that the refactoring support in VS2005 is in this state. It is utterly useless. How can they claim to have Refactoring support for web projects I have a Solution that contains one web project and two library projects. It is NOT a complicated solution (~150 .cs files and maybe 100 .aspx and .ascx skin files). And when I try to use ANY of the refactoring tools that have been provided in Visual Studio 2005, it takes an eternity (over 2 minutes) and I normally give up on it... This includes, Find References, Rename, etc... No matter what I do, it iterates through EVERY aspx file in the web project ! ! I choose a method and selec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions BindingSource.Filter Problem Part 2

  Sorry for reposting this, but my new question was burried within the thread of my previous post and I wanted people to get a fresh look at my problem. I have a form with a DataGridView with multiple columns. I have another form that pops up to give the user options of filtering the data in the DataGridView form. I have several ComboBoxes bound to tables that contain the data available in a certain column in which the user can select items from the ComboBox to filter the column. Thanks to tabdalla, I was able to get the code to make a single column filter based on the item selected in one of the ComboBoxes. Here is the code tabdalla he ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with date range and aggregate function

  Good afternoon, I use aggregate function to calculate measures on period of time. For example: Income from 01/01/2006 to 01/15/2006 or income from 01/01/2005 to 12/31/2005 I'va got a time dimension with this hierarchy: year - quarter - month - week - day When i used the aggregate function (from 01/01/2006 to 12/31/2006): AGGREGATE({[EVENEMENT].[Temps Numerique].&[1].&[2006].&[1].&[1].&[1].&[1]: [EVENEMENT].[Temps Numerique].&[1].&[2006].&[4].&[12].&[53].&[365]} I've got my result but when i cross the years, I've null values.

• Visual Studio Team System does web test simulate the same as the explorer

  Hello All, i have a web application that sends in one user action some several web requests - some of those requests launch from the explorer in parallel - for example request1 send by the explorer at 15:00:01.500 the second request sent at 15:00:02 - the response body for both of the requests returns at the same time 15:00:10 - so my question is - does web test has the option to act exactly as the explorer by sending more then one request at a time when it necessary. thanks, tzvika. can you tell if there is an expected due date for another version of web test or any release updated patches - any way i'm glad to here y ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to set version information in a builded exe file

  Hi all, When I build a solution, there will be exe file generated. Each time I build a solution, I want to set a unique version to the exe file. (right click the exe file, there should be a tab about the version informatin of the exe file.) Where and how could I set this version information Thanks, Leon Leon, You will need to programatically modify the AssemblyInfo.cs/vb file in your build script. There is a set of custom MSBuild tasks available that can help you do this depending upon the format you desire. Check out the AssemblyInfoTask home page on gotdotnet for installation files and source code. Also, check ou ...Show All

• Visual C# Obtaining Static Duration

  In C++ static variables are initialized when the program starts. Is there any way of making variables in C# that do this I have written code in C++ that allows new classes to register themselves by including a static variable within the new class that calls a registering function. This trick allows new classes to be added to a program without any alterations to the rest of the code. I am now trying to achieve the same thing in C#.   This would have to be implemented via the CLR and would not be just a feature of C# itself. I would suggest you post a suggestion at the Microsoft Product Support Center ...Show All

• .NET Development EventLogPermission

  I am getting an EventLogPermission exception when calling my assembly from an ASP.NET 2.0 app. I tried setting the assembly to FullTrust via caspol.exe, but I still get this exception. Firstly, I am not attempting to log from ASP.NET directly, but from a dependent assembly (albeit in the same process space - effectively the same thing, I assume).  I am loading the web app and assemblies over UNC. I am also impersonating a Domain Admin account in my web.config. My trust level is the default setting of "Full". I have tried various caspol commands such as "caspol -m -fulltrust \\mydomain\dfsroot\dfslink\myapp\bin\myassembly.dll " with n ...Show All
