• Visual Studio VS2005 Beta 2 install from CD

  So I ordered the VS2005 Beta 2 CDs and received 3 CDs named VS2005-Team Suit, VS2005-Team Foundation Server, and SQLServer2005-Developer Edition. I assume that the actual IDE program is contained on the disk named VS2005-Team Suite but that CD is blank. I'm surprised to only receive 3 disks as Beta 1 was 5 if I recall correctly. I called M$ and they very quickly sent anther copy of the 3 CDs (very surprised!) in which that same disk is empty. D ...Show All

• Visual C++ Mixxing c & C++ file for the same application

  So I have a .lib or a .dll that was written in C, and I want to call functions in this .lib or .dll from with a c++ appliction.... However, when I #include header.h (with appropriate declarations for all methods I want to call), VS 2005 seems to think that *EVERYTHING* I have done is now c++, and treatas the .dll or .lib as such... resulting in massive problems. Does anyone know how to make C++ play nice with C code Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server Online Data Transform

  Dear All, I am new to SSIS, and just watched some of the webcasts and take a look at SSIS Hands on Lab on the MSDN site.

If this is possible, please let me know where can I find a sample package and configurations. Happy new year, Sassan ...Show All

• Visual C# Bitmap(string) constructor throws ArgumentException

  Hi I'm trying to create a bitmap on the fly from an on disk image resource (PNGs in this case). I can create one fine, but when i try to create the next one the Bitmap constructor throws an ArgumentException with the message "Parameter is not valid". The weird thing is that the second image (Pan2.png) is an exact duplicate of the first image (ZoomExtent.png) which creates successfully so there is no difference between the dimensions ...Show All

• Visual C# command prompt return immediately when running console application

  By default, a console C# app will hold the command-prompt until the app exits. Is there a setting in the .NET framework that will cause the command-prompt to return immediately This is sort of analogous to running a command in the background in unix by appending & to the command. Hi. The responsables of doing that are the shell and the OS not the C# language or the .Net framework. The OS because it must support Multitaksing (ms-do ...Show All

• Visual Basic Note to Developers - Frustration with thread isolation restrictions

  ****Sigh**** I've had this favorite old vb6 program. It gets pixels off the whole screen I do a getpixel for the color information.  It's timer driven sampling at 100ms intervals. I converted it to .dot net but notice that old API calls were not working. That wasn't because of marshalling. When I looked up the documentation (GetAsyncKey is an example, I noticed that these routines will return a zero if they are not called by the thread ...Show All

• Visual Basic Puzzled about Missing Picturebox ???

  I hate to ask really dumb questions but this is going to be a dumb one.   I’ve written perhaps 10,000 lines of VB 2005 to replicate a superset of the functions + of the old Ms Office toolbar. This has been a learning project. I really love VS2005! This project is actually in good shape and I’m putting the finishing touches on it.   Everyonce in a while I hit upon a snafu and I really feel stupid.   The toolbar is a t ...Show All

• .NET Development System.Management - SOA problem Adding DNS Zone to remote server

  Hey everyone, I am writing a .net class library for use here at work in C#. The class I am working on right now manages our local DNS Server through WMI. One method is supposed to add a new root level zone to the server. It works but it is only doing half the job - it doesn’t define the start of authority (SOA) for the newly created zone. When I view the new zone on the server through the DNS Manager it gives me a "Zone not loaded by DN ...Show All
