• Visual Studio Package Load Errors with Team Suite on a clean XP machine

  Hi all, I just installed Team Suite on a clean brand spanking new XP machine and I ended up with package load errors for the DTS and Language Packages. VS seems to work OK for most everything except: The options Dialog is missing all Font configurations options, and there's a blank tree node in the list. IOW, I can't customize any of the stock Font options. There's more info here: http:/www./west-wind.com/weblog/posts/4373.aspx I already went through a repair install which was painfully slow, and before I uninstall and reinstall I'm hoping somebody has some pointers on what might be causing these load errors.

• Visual Studio Team System .net 1 assemblies references from .net 2 assemblies for analysis

  I'm using Using FxCop 1.35 to analyise assemblies built with v. 2 of the runtime. However, some of these assemblies reference v. 1 assemblies. I can not add these referenced assemblies as Targets as there is a framework mismatch (I was aiming to add them and disable their analysis so that FxCop could resolve the reference but not run analysis), so I have to resolve them manually when I run analysis. This is fine for the GUI version, but obviously does not work with the command line version on our CI server. Any workarounds for this James, You can tell FxCop to look in specific folders for references, by ...Show All

  I have recently downloaded Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and I need to add a "command button" for a simple project. In all of my toolbox, I could not find one, however I found "button" and named it cmdBeep.

• Visual C++ Discussion about languages...

  Greetings to all.   Discussion about languages...   When I took the first steps in the world of programming I began from consideration of the most popular languages, I estimated their power, flexibility and beauty of syntax. In a month or having read set of various articles I still could not choose. And once again visiting book shop, I have met book Windows Script Host and have decided to begin the way with easy language and technology. As language for WSH to me has more liked JScript though VBScript it developed and supported Microsoft better than JScript. Simply my brain thinks logically and consequently syntax J ...Show All

• .NET Development No good deed goes unpunished.

  I tried to help... I said I could write a little VB.NET program to serve as an Autorun on a company sales/marketing CD. The sales/marketing presentation destined for the CD was a CPU hog and caused Acrobat Reader to take up to one minute to load. It was "terribly important" to the company that the mentally challenged persons to whom the CD would be sent not have to think about starting the presentation or the Acrobat Reader. Well, now I have the program working and a friend has given me the horrible news - it won't run unless the .NET framework is installed. Since this is going out to a mailing list of interested companies I have no co ...Show All
