• Visual C# What is the proposed way to define references in .NET?

  Status ------ Currently we use two different methods to define references between managed components, namely project references and .NET references to reference assemblies (details below).  Both methods are not fully satisfactory.  We would like to know: (a) Is there is a better referencing mechanism available in VS8 (better than the ones described below), or (b) does MS plan to change the support for references in future versions of V ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Adding rows/cells to an asp:Table

  How do I add static rows/cells to an asp Table -- i.e., without manually coding them in Source view or dynamically adding them via code I've looked in help, but I can't see anywhere in Properties to add them, nor does a right-click offer any help, and there's no row or cell object in the Standard toolbox. I'm sure this is really really simple, but I just can't seem to find it. thanks...jon OK... I see; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS and 64-bit Windows 2003 Enterprise...

  Hi all, I have a new Dell Itanium 2 server on which I want to do a single-server install of Team Foundation Server Beta 3. Can I install it here with the 63-bit version of Windows 2003 server (which Dell tells me I must use on this server as it will not run a 32-bit OS) I have seen conflicting information on this. If not, does anyone know when a 64-bit version will be available If I can't install it on the 64-bit OS, can I set up a virtual serv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Question about variable decleration

  This maybe is a stupid question. Sometimes I see variables declared like int _Counter; What is the _ stands for can someone give me an example why you have to declare it like that. Thank you. Hello Oguz, Obviously you can name a variable just about anything you'd like. Some people prefer to use the _ prefix to denote a private variable. This way you know the variable is private in scope just by l ...Show All

• Visual C++ Interop and Video For Windows

  Hello, I've written a library that uses the Video For Windows interface a long time ago. Back then, I didn't realize that interfaces were defined and that the functions were "C wrappers" so I used the C functions. I.e. I've been using AVIFileOpen instead of IAVIFile interface. I am trying to migrate to C++/CLI now and I am having a problem. My class looks something like: ref class MyVfw { public: IAVIFile *iavf; }; However, this create ...Show All

• Visual Studio Info on BasicAsyncPlugin class

  I have a package project that is supposed to be a Team Explorer extension, that adds a custom folder to each project hierarchy. To implement this Team Explorer extension i inherit from the BasicAsyncPlugin class. As there is no documentation for any of the Team Foundation SDK classes, everything is more or less guess work. It appears to me as if Team Explorer calls the method CreateNewTree in the plugin to create the tree structure for the custo ...Show All

• .NET Development Just-In-Time Debugging not working through ActiveX script in DTS package

  we do a lot of our coding in ActiveX script tasks within DTS packages. Normally, you can type the keyword "stop" or "x=1/0" on a line, and when you run your script, it forces the JIT debugging window to pop-up and then you can step through and debug your script within .NET or Interdev. This used to work on all of our work computers. It now only works on one remaining computer and we have not been able to figure out what is ...Show All
