• Visual Studio Express Editions Machine Name?

  On this page, http://beta.asp.net/guidedtour2/s2.aspx the VWD Guided Tour states: "Throughout the Guided Tour you will see references to "machine-name" and the username used in the demo.  Be certain to change all references of "machine-name" to your machine name, and username to your username." What's a machine-name and where do I find it   Ditto user-name I think is caseless. But you can see you machine name also in Start -> My Computer -> Right Click -> Properties -> Computer Name . See ya^^. ...Show All

• .NET Development Access to path xxx denied when uploading a file using c#

  Hi I have a file upload app written in c#. The app runs on IIS on a Windows 2003 Server OS. I want the app to upload the file onto the server (The app and the server are on the same machine). This code has been working fine for a long time running on Windows Server 2000, and Windows XP Professional. Now when I moved onto Windows Server 2003, it stopped working. I have given ASPNET account full access to the folder on the server, and it still gives this error. Is this a bug in 2003, and can anybody assist me Thanks Shane That was exactly the problem. I made the "Network ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions 20 errors Missing file ms???80.dll where ??? is several possible letters

  After installing Visual Studio 2005 Express and running a System Check with Norton WinDoctor, twenty (20) Program Missing File errors were found. 1:Program files \Microsoft SQL Server\90\Setup Bootstrap\ARPWrapper.exe" cannot access a necessary file - msvcr80.dll   The rest of the errors are very similar.  Which library am I missing or is it inherent to the Express version of VS We've had a lot of these posts regarding Norton WinDoctor.

• Visual Studio Team System Command line itemspec (sometimes at beginning; sometimes at the end)

  There seems to be no ryhme or reason as to where the itemspec/filespec shows up in a command line.  Some command line LOCK want it at the beginning and others like UNDO want it at the end.  Does it matter   If so, how about picking one and sticking with it.  :-) Are you referring to the documentation or the actual behavior   The command line itself shouldn't care about parameter order except in a few cases (e.g. you can't do 'tf.exe branch target src'). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Input Mask for IP Address

  How would i make an input mask for an IP Address where if you press period it will go to the next octet i.e. you can type 192 (period) 168 (period) 0 (period) 1 and it will return 192.168.0.1 I know that I can use 099.099.099.099 as my input mask, but then they have to put in all leading zero's or cursor over. Any ideas Hi John, Why not just use four MaskedTextBox controls for entry (each with the appropriate numeric mask) and then concatenate them into the IP Address with the periods This is how its done in many MSFT programs for both IP Addresses and Product Keys. Hope this helps, Steve Hoag V ...Show All

• Visual Basic Try...Catch statement Question

  I have a Try...Catch statement that contains 12 Operations inside it. On the catch I want to display a msgbox that tells exactly which operations failed. I was looking through the exception methods and couldn't find one that worked. All of the methods provided relative information but nothing specific. The reason I want to pinpoint exactly which operations failed is so that the user can email the error message to me and when I get it I will know exactly how to fix it. Thanks. Is there a way to show information like a breakpoint shows For example my breakpoint details say: At Form1.vb, line 129 character 13 ('Char1_Read', line 25 ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Problem With Code That Writes a Change To Itself

  I have written a sub that modifies the code in the if statement of a functon in a different module. Trouble is that during runtime, I haven't found a way to get the equivalent of a Compile VBAProject to occur so that the behavior of the function actually changes on the fly. Even though the code is changed by the technique, the behavior when called always stays v1 > v2. Isn't there a way via the VBIDE classes or something to get the recompiles that are evidently required to get the class CodeModule methods to work during runtime The technique: Dim DynCodeMod As Object '--------------------------------------------------------- ' Cre ...Show All

• Visual Basic Passing a structure with arrays of fixed length strings to a DLL

  Hi, I need to be able to pass a structure to a DLL that has arrays of fields of fixed length in it. In old VB6 this could be done by having types with types type repeatingRecord field1 as string * 2 field2 as string * 5 end type type maintype field1 as string * 7 records(10) as repeatingRecord end type In .NET types become structures and fixed length strings no longer exist. However the attributes 'VBFixedString' and MarshalAs will solve this problem for simple structures. However it still does not solve my problem for arrays. .NET will not allow fixed length arrays ...... How do I pass the equivalent in .NET to un ...Show All

• SQL Server Un-detected deadlocks?

  Hi, I seem to have a problem that might be caused by undetected deadlocks on my system which is causing regular minute-long freezes. The way to resolve the problem is to reboot the SQL Server box, but this is inconvenient as it is a production system, and I was wondering whether any forum users might have any insight into this problem Details below: We have a main and a standby SQL Server 2000 enterprise edition installation (service pack 3) running on Windows 2000 service pack 4.
