• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem accessing MDF file with DataContext

  Hi, During Linq installation, the Northwind database was placed at C:\Program Files\LINQ Preview\Data. This folder contains the NORTHWND.MDF file along with some other files that I am not sure if I need. The following code works fine: string path= @"C:\Program Files\LINQ Preview\Data\NORTHWND.MDF" ; DataContext db = new DataContext (path); db.Connection.Open(); But it stops working if I copy the NORTHWND.MDF to another folder (say C:\MyFolder) that's empty (and rename it just in case to NORTHWND2.MDF ) and then use string path= @"C:\MyFolder\NORTHWND2.MDF " ; // etc. Then I cannot ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How: Change the saved login and pwd used by VS 2005 RC1 and TFS Client Beta3?

  Where does the Visual Studio RC1 or rather the VSTS Client that comes with Team Foundation Server Beta 3, save the login and password if the checkbox "remember the password" on the login dialog is checked The Team Foundation Server I am using was installed on a stanalone server inside a workgroup so the authentification is done explicitly or implicitly once the password is saved using the above option. My actual question is how can I change the saved login and/or password that is implicitly used by the VS to login to the TFS The only workaround that we have come with is to change the password of the account in which case the Visual S ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Number formatting

  Hello, I have a program that inserts data into Excel via a form made in VBA... Everything works great, however, it inserts the data as Text and i need it inserted as currency. I tried creating a variable as currency and setting the range needed to be currency, however that did not work. I also tried creating a macro, however, that did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what code i can use Thanks in advance. You should set the numberformat of the excel cell (or column) to a currency format before inserting the data e.g. to change the number format for column A: Columns("A:A").Selec ...Show All

  I have an app written in VB for a Pocket PC 2003.  From that app I would like to check the connected PC's environment variables for the username.  Sort of a single sign on approach.  I haven't found any API or code that does this.  Has anyone done this before There's no API for that. If you really need it, please consider adding Web Service which would accept variable name and return its value. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Assigning to variables in a structure dynamically by using the field name in a string

  Hi, I have an issue where I need to be able to take value pairs i.e. fieldname and value - and assign them to the correct fields in a structure. e.g. structure X Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4 end structure Values "Field2", "xyx" "Field4","pqr1" So I need some method of assigning to the correct field in the structure - much like you can with recordsets i.e. rs.fields("<fieldname") = x.

• Visual Studio Team System Deleted Project using TFSDeleteProject but Source Code Root Still Showing Up

  I deleted a project using TFSDeleteProject (with the force option) but my VS 2005 IDE Source Control Explorer still shows the deleted source code folder root (with a single TeamBuildTypes folder with a red X thru it).  The funny thing is is that if I go to another machine and log in with the same credentials the particular folder does not show up.  Looks like there is some sort of hanging artifact on my local work machine that isn't getting udpated. I have the "Show deleted items in Source Control Explorer" unchecked and I still see the problem.  BTW, I am using Beta 3 Refresh. One thing that is different with this ...Show All

• .NET Development Windows halts loop excecution

  I hope this question is in the correct forum. Here is my problem. I have a generic while loop that is repeatedly calling a function. This function handles receives in socket communications. The problem is that windows will stop executing this loop. All of a sudden it will just pause. Once you force a refresh of the form that contains this loop (by minimize/restore, etc), the loop will start executing again and will never pause again. Initially, I thought it may have something to do with the socket communications. So, I replaced the socket function with just incrementing and displaying a variable. Sure enough, the display would start counting ...Show All
