• Visual C# Copy Local Fails

  I have a large solution (16 c# dll projects, 1 c# exe project) where the dll projects are project references  of the exe project.  I have set copy local true for all the projects. The problem is on alternating rebuild-all builds one or two of the 16 dll's are not copied into the exe's bin/debug directory.  On the good build, all references are there and on the next build, some of the dll's are missing. Any suggestions SB ...Show All

• Smart Device Development "No such interface supported"

  I recently received and installed Visual Studio 2005. When I create an empty Pocket Pc 2003 (or Windows Mobile 5.0) application and try to deploy it, I get a messagebox that says "No such interface supported". The actual .exe is there and I can copy it and run it on the device.. but it seems that the communication layer between visual studio and the device is broken. I get the same error if I try to deply the application to the e ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TypeNamesShouldNotMatchNamespaces AKA CA1724

  This rule seems overly constraining. With namespaces (and the advent of the global namespace in C#) and some of the names of the nested namespaces in the FX, it seems to me this rule will generate much noise (e.g. the following nested FX namespaces are really general and could apply to many different projects/applications: Common, Services, Collections, Design, Util, Resources, IO, Configuration, Internal). "Design" is a nested fram ...Show All

• SQL Server Column detach task ?

  Sometimes you have some columns in the dataflow that you at some point in the flow doesn't need in the further flow. So maybe a tast or an option for disabling columns that are no longer in use Why do you think this would be of benefit If its for disabling those columns at design-time then I think its a good idea. I think "disabling|" is the wrong word however, "hiding" would be more appropri ...Show All

• Visual C# Aborting and Managing Threads: The Dog or the Cat?

  Newbie here .... thanks in advance for your patience. I'm working w/ C# Visual Studio 2005 I've read up on all the comments about problems w/ aborting and suspending/resuming threads.  Lots of things to consider.  Looks kinda ugly on all fronts.  Note that I'm not thinking of using suspend and resume to synchronize threads.  I would like to just pause and then restart a particular thread from where it left off.  Wo ...Show All

• .NET Development Preventing a class from having a default constructor

  Hello, I would like one of my classes to behave like DataRow, when speaking about constructors. As far as I can remember, one cannot use the syntax DataRow myDataRow = new DataRow(), and can only obtain a new DataRow from a DataTable by calling the DataTable.NewRow() method. How can this be achieved in C# To be more explicit, I have a class A, and another class AManager (which manages some stuff regarding A objects). I want to instantiate eve ...Show All

• SQL Server Control flow drawing bug

  Minor issue here. But I just wanted to point it out. I think this is how to reproduce it. If I disable a dataflow task and run the package, after it is complete, but yet still in the debugger, reenable the dataflow task. When I close the debugger, the dataflow task is still shaded as if it were disabled, but it will execute on the next run. Close the package and re-open it and the work flow task is drawn correctly. ...Show All

  Hello, I have implemented a countdown clock using the timer class is c# but am having problems with the accuracy of the countdown.
