• SQL Server Attribute Relationships in Project Real

  Hi, I'm just trying to dig a little bit deeper into attribute relationships... The documentation of Project Real is a quite interesting read... So if you have a look at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/realastd.mspx  (the technical drilldown for Analysis Services) or even better http://www.microsoft.com/technet/images/prodtechnol/sql/2005/Images/realastd02_big.gif  you find an example how to construct attribute relationships.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is MSMQ broken??

  The following simple example doesn't work properly.  It was built using VStudio 2005 and both the machines involved have WinFX Nov CTP installed.  It appears that MessageQueue.Receive only works correctly with a queue on the local machine.  This also prevents ServiceHost from working correctly with MsmqIntegrationBinding - which is how I discovoered the problem. I have tried this code in both directions between the two machines with the same results.  Local queue access works fine, but remote queue access appears to be broken.  Writes are OK, and the first read is ok too.  Subsequent reads just hang the calling ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Help Needed: Smart Tags in Excel and Recognising cell formulas?

  Hi there, I have successfully created a VS2005 C#.NET SmartTag DLL that recognises various cell text and actions them accordingly. I am trying to find out how I can recognise a cell containing a "=RTD(,,,,)" type function. The SmartTag Recogniser2 routine only allows me to parse the cell Text and not the formula.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Visual Studio Only?

  Is Visual Studio .NET 2003 or above going to be a requirement for MSN Search API developers   I know it's early yet, however that's the only SDK I see and there's no information indicating anything else will be available. I ask because some of us have been developing API's (Google, Yahoo!, eBay, Amazon, etc, etc) for a long time now.  You're going to be missing out on an awful lot of really good developers if you're going to have the requirement that everyone drop between $550 and $1800 for a software package we don't currently have and probably will not use for anything other than creating MSN Search API applications.&nb ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office vbScript with .NET

  With Visual Studio 2005 and Framework 2.0 you discontinued the Microsoft.Vsa namespace. How do I execute vbScript in your latest framework without having to return back to your COM MSScriptControl (C:\WINDOWS\System32\msscript.ocx) I had been using the with Visual Studio 6.0 and then upgraded to VS 2005.

• .NET Development Calling .NET2.0 assemblies from 1.1

  Is it possible in any way to call a .NET2.0 based assembly (ie. SQL2005 SMO assemblies) from a .NET 1.1 app using either direct reference, assembly loading at runtime, reflection, remoting, other I have a .NET1.1 app that we can't yet convert because we have a large # of users on 1.1 but we want to provide some support for items in SQL2005 for users that have it installed and I cannot find a way to call .NET2.0 assemblies from a 1.1 app. Even if I had to have some proxy class that maybe went through remoting, that would probably be acceptable in the short term.

• Smart Device Development WebBrowser bug in .NET Compact Framework?

  Hi. I am developing an application using .NET Compact Framework for Windows Mobile 5. I want to use a WebBrowser control to display some html text inside of the WebBrowser. To do so, I am setting the property DocumentText of the control to the desired text. When the application runs, the text is displayed, but then the control enters an infinite loop of document refreshes. This means that the control will refresh the text entered and the control cannot be used. When this code runs inside the Emulator for WM5, the application crashes. However, when the application is deployed to the device, the infinite loop efect happens, but the ap ...Show All
