• Visual C++ Bug?

  class CSimpleStatus { public : CSimpleStatus(){} CSimpleStatus(string szName, int HPmod, DamageModifiers *DmgMods, AttribModifiers *AttribMods); }; That one is interesting.. I got lots of errors of missing ')' before szName here.. So first I added std:: before string.. Didn't help.. So I made sure I included string and all.. I had.. So I tried to remove 'string szName' from the constructor.. Then it complained about a missing ')' after 'int'.. I turns out DamageModifiers and AttribModifiers were not defined.. But I didn't get a single message about that.. Here's what I got: 1>c:\path\Status.h(16) : error C ...Show All

• Visual C# File name on the Tabs of VS2005 IDE

  Hi all Everything is good with my VS2005 experience except the FileName on the tabs for my Web/c# project. My actual file path for a aspx.cs file is as follows. C:\IMIS.NET\Asi.WebRoot\AsiCommon\Controls\Commerce\Order\ShippingInformation.ascx.cs where as the file name that is displayed on the tab is AsiCommon\Co..ation.ascx.cs It will be like that for all the tabs .. making it very difficult to navigate quickly to the file and making less productive. Can some one suggest if there is a way to display only the filename instead of fullpath. I appreciate it a lot. with bestwishes. Iyyengar. I use VS2k5 fin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System stop build type on failure

  If I am using MSBuild and the Team build type in a Desktop Build scenario, can I somehow tell it to stop building as soon as a project or solution fails to build Thank --MikeH  Sorry for the delay in replying Mike. But this turns out to be an issue with desktop builds. Refer Manish's post for more info. Actually, the expected behaviour would be what you are asking to do, but we are currently observing undesired behaviour. Thanks for reporting this and I'll keep you posted with the progress on this one. ...Show All

• Visual C# Unable to update the dependencies of the project

  I have had this error every time I try to check my program into source control after making changes. The project builds and works fine until I check it in and check it back out then it won’t build.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Learning VB and .NET

  Hello... I've invested in Books 24/7 to have access to a lot of IT books to learn various things. I really want to get a good grasp on VB.NET 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0. I have VB.NET 2005 Express and VWD Express and I know enough to be dangerous. But I feel that without practical examples, I am spinning my wheels. Also, the books that I try to use to learn the languages. They end up going off on tangents that I don't want to go on. I like the format of Wrox books but they end up making you play around with examples already coded and I feel that I don't learn anything. Their VB 2005 Pro book has no structure of learning it. So it is either using e ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How can I control a WinForm from a workflow?

  I am developing an application whose behaviour is to be governed by a workflow. The windows form application acts as the host to the workflow and I need to update various controls on the UI based on the workflow's functioning. The problem I have is that while its possible to send events to the workflow using a service, I do not know how to call methods/send events to the host application from the workflow. Is there a nice way of doing this Is it an acceptable design if a windows application is "run" by a workflow Eg 1 : I have a rule condition. But I cannot embed that in the workflow class itself. It has to be evaluated in a ...Show All
