• Visual Basic Try..Catch not executed in EXE

  I have a Shared Sub Main() in my application which, after performing various startup tasks, shows the main form by executing Application.Run(frmMain). All code in Sub Main is encased in a Try..Catch block. If an error occurs further down in the call stack (in the form or another class), then that Try..Catch block catches the error, displays a message, and calls a shutdown routine. This works fine in the development environement. However, in t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer - red cross on "documents"-folder

  Since installation of TFS I am unable to see the content of the documents-folder (teamexplorer) on a client-machine. There is always a red cross on the folder!

• Visual C++ Finding data type at run time to create an identical object

  Hello all, I hope this thread matches in here. I am working with Visual C++ 6.0. I am trying to create a vector that will be used as a buffer for an algorithm. The problem is that I want the algorithm to work on a "template" type vector. Therefore, my buffer vector must be created at run time with the type of the vector supplied as input. (for example, say the input vector is "vector<int> data" the buffer should be created as type integ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Require a Changeset comment on CheckIn

  I've poked around a bit, and cannot see where I would require that a Changeset Comment be required on Check In. I see that I am able to require Comments from the four roles (Code Reviewer, Security Reviewer, Performance Reviewer, and Developer). But, I like the fact that the Changeset comments are associated automatically and displayed in the Build report. Is this supported by default, and am I just missing something Or, will I need to writ ...Show All

• Visual C++ On adjacent ">"s in a parameterized declaration

  Hello, There is a syntax erron in the following code -- adjacent ">"s need a delimiter (it is marked AAAA) template <class T> class A {}; template <class T> class B {}; int main() { A<B<int>>(); // AAAA } But VC8 can compile it. It seems to be a error but on the other hand Mr. Stroustrup have being dreaming on such a syntax for ages and he promotes it pretty vigorously now, as far as know. So, I a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Add connection wizard fails with Access database

  I have the RTM version installed. I am quite puzzled at this wizard. It works fine with SqlClient. But for Access databases, this wizard completely fails.
