• Visual Studio VS2003 ->VS2005 Addin not adding Macros

  I've got a Visual Studio Addin that adds macros to the user's environment.  It worked fine in VS2003 but is broke in VS2005.  I get an exception saying  "Item can not be added to a project when multiple or no items are selected in the Solution Explorer." It seems the AddExistingItem method no longer works for adding Macros. Below is some sample code that throws an exception on the last line: private DTE2 _applicationObject; _applicationObject.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindMacroExplorer).Activate(); UIHierarchy tree = (UIHierarchy)_applicationObject.ActiveWindow.Object; tree.GetItem("Macros").Select(vsUISelectionTyp ...Show All

• Visual Basic Activex reference problem

  I have a project with a reference to MSWINSK.OCX, which runs fine on the system it was written on. But when I try to make the executable, and run it on another system, I get an error (runtime 429) that the Activex object cant be created. Any help with why this is happening and how to fix it would be great. I already checked and the other system does have the OCX file in the right place. Okay, registered the ocx, restarted, and still doesn't work, anything else I can try ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Success Audits

  Hello: I know several folks have already posted this issue and resolution along with it in this forum but none of that worked for me. When I start SQL 2005 management studio on my client machine and as soon as I connect to my development server, it creates success audit logs in Eventviewer/Security with events 538, 540 and 576 repetively every few seconds until I close my connection to deevelopment server from SQL Management Studio. I had the same problem when I had SQL2000 on the same server and I was able to resolve it by unchecking "Server state polling" checkbox under tools/options in SQL 2000 Enterprise manager.

• Visual Studio Problem Installing DSL Tools September 2005

  I've tried downloading and installing the DSL Tools September 2005 release, and when I have unzipped and tried to run setup.exe I always get the following error.  It looks like maybe the zip file has a wrong version - does anyone else get that problem   I've tried it on 2 machines with different operating systems.

• Visual Basic generate a collection class from a Stored procedure

  Hello everyone. I am new to collection class, but what I have done and used I like a great deal. Now the one thing I have found ( and this is more then likely a problem with my programming then the concept) that when I create a collection class is very slow to start with. Now I do not mean the actual coding, but rather when I create the class in when I load the app. Example: Sub Frm_load() Dim colEmployees as new Employees lstBox.Datasource=colEmployees End sub Public Class Employees Inherits collectionbase Public Sub New() Dim dt as datatable= ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I think the solution is simple:

  Im just trying to get for loops to work properly and just basically messing around. This does actually work properly; yes i realize the names are retarded but they just came out :P Basically in this program you highlight an item in the textbox, and when you press ok that selected item will come up in a messagebox and say "you have selected so and so" Anyway... my question is how would i get this to display "You have selected nothing" when the user clicks the ok button and nothing is selected in the listbox. for ( int counter = 0; counter < listBox1.SelectedItems.Count; counter++) switch (li ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity name changing???

  I defined a custom activity (deriving from SequenceActivity) and named it "MgrApproval". I can see the name property on it being set to this value in the designer code (InitializeComponent method). I add a code activity to this - and there print it out its name using "this.Name" I then create a workflow that includes this activity inside it. However upon executing the workflow the activity name shows up as "mgrApprovall". Notice the case change for the first letter and extra "l" being appended. I combed my code and can tell I am not setting the activity's name to this value and it should h ...Show All

• .NET Development Only one connection for a port

  Hi, I have created a TcpListener (e.g. port 4440) object and called Start method. This sample code is running. I have verified Listener status using netstat -a command (MS DOS Command). Port (e.g. 4440) is listening. I am using telnet as client. I have connected to same port (e.g. 4440) using telent. Telent is also connected. Now i can see two entries in netstat command output for that particular port. One is listening and another is established. Here i want to have a single connection for a port. Kindly suggest me how to do that. Thanks & Regards, kalai public void TcpListener.Star ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC++05 Express B2

  As an exercise to get familiar with the aforementioned, I tried building the sample solutions provided in the XP Platform SDK SP2.  When I try to build the <MSDSKROOT>\Samples\Com\Common\Common.DSW project, it converts to the newer VS format as expected.  Then, I do a build, which results in "unresolved external" errors caused by calls to _BSTR_ functions.  This code builds properly in VC++ 6.0.  I have established directory paths to the appropriate library, bin and include directories for the PlatformSDK.

• Visual C++ Does anybody have any experience with genetic algorithms, specifically GENESIS?

  Hi, I have a working model of John Grefenstette's GENESIS genetic algorithm on Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. My aim now is to get this GA to work as part of a feedback loop with a liquid cystal pulse shaper. I am trying to write an evaluation function in C++ that will alter the phase and/or amplitude of my LC pulse shaper and the feedback of the system will come from a spectrometer. I believe that the feedback to my system will be a current generated from the spectrometer but does anyone have any idea how I would code this response into GENESIS to read the signal as the feedback value, and to try and optimize this value I know thi ...Show All
