• Visual Studio VS.NET 2005 (June) fails to install SQL 2005 Express?

  Hello, Thanks for reviewing my question.  I had VS.NET 2005 Beta 2 installed on my PC and decided to uninstall it (hopefully in order) in order to install the VS.NET 2005 (June CTP). Everything seems to install expect for the SQL Express.  I uninstalled everything and installed the SQL 2005 (June CTP) thinking I would use this instead of express but VS.NET 2005 didn't install.  And, of course, I have read their not compatible. So, I am back to square one.  I have run the cleanup tool but it doesn't seem to do anything. Any suggestions is appreciated. Thanks for your time. Peter I had this ...Show All

• Visual Studio can i use inputs and outputs

  I know the inputs, but I do not know the outputs until I'm in the logic of my custom Task. Is there anyway to still use inputs and outputs in my .targets file to control when things will build, or do I need to implement this myself in my Task class Thanks, Mike Inputs and Outputs must be declared in the project file. Their values may be computed by combining existing properties and/or items, or by previously built targets, but they must be specified in the project file. Are the names of your Outputs not simply transformations of the names of the Inputs e.g., something like inputs: "a.txt;b.tx ...Show All

• Visual C# Shorten NameSpace question

  I have a large enum structure like this: public enum MyEnum { Value1 = 100, Value2 = 200, .................. } Then I have a switch statement for all the enum members: switch (somevalue) { case MyEnum.Value1: Dosomething; break; case .......... } Since I have a lot of these I would like to shorten the case statements, avoiding the 'MyEnum' type definition. Many programming languages (like JScript or Delphi) allow this using the 'With' statement. In C# I tried the 'using' keyword like this: using (MyEnum) { switch (somevalue) { case Value1: Dosomething; break; case .......... } ...Show All
