• Visual C# Sharing Data

  Ok. I know this is a question that shouldve been learned in the beginning of the "book", but I have two forms. Form1, and Preferences. I have a RichTextBox on each of the form.

• Visual Studio Lack of Integration with Active Directory

  My organization was just written up by internal auditors. They went into our source safe database and tested 10 users. 8 of the ten users were still using the default passwords set up when they were added to source safe. My question is don't we already have enough passwords to keep track of Why not at least offer the option of integrating with AD where I get strong password management > Setting perm to NTFS folder is not at all. Of course. You have to set Windows file share permissions as well. > Does VSS support password authentication via AD No, VSS does not have integration with AD ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Registration freebies

  I have just registered c++ and Microsoft promised thousands of dollars of free resources. Where do I find them, I have tried the links in the registration e-mail but can't find any of them. I don't know how they do the math, but what is currently available as free downloads is described on the http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/register/ page. The registration letter link should have taken you to a place where you can download some of those. (There is no free book that goes with VC++ 2005 Express Edition.) You'll need to set up a Microsoft Passport, and the benefit page remains available to yo ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 RC setup is endless!!!

  I set up sql 2005 september ctp successfully and then since yesterday I am still installing VS 2005 RC! I left the setup on overnight and it still has not completed this morning. My machine is completely locked up and the taskbar has disappeared. If I do Alt-tab I can't see the programs running. I have 1.2 GB RAM and yet the machine is behaving like it does when it is low on memory with window content overlapping, disappearing content, etc. What exactly is it doing that is taking so much time and resources I am extremely unhappy with this install. I can't do anything on the machine. The Beta 2 install was much smoother and faster. How do you ...Show All

• Windows Forms using directx in a panel

  Hi all, I am trying to do the drawing part of a control with DirectX (instead of GDI+). This works fine if I create my own paint eventhandler for a form . The code looks like: private void Form1_Paint ( object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { // code to do the directx drawing *here* this .Invalidate(); } If I use the paint eventhandler of a panel it doesn't work I use a code like: private void panel1_Paint( object sender, PaintEventArgs e) { // code to do the directx drawing *here* this .panel1.Invalidate(); } It seems that the " this .panel1.Invalidate();" isn't enough to make ...Show All

• Visual C# ListView with CheckBoxes checks unwanted checkboxes

  I'm using C# 2.0, and have a problem with a listview. I've turned on CheckBoxes and have my View set to List. The problem that I'm seeing is that the spacebar always checks an item, even if it's part of another items name. For example, if you create a new form, and drop a ListView called listview1 onto it, then put this code into the form Load event: private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { listView1.CheckBoxes = true; listView1.View = View.List; listView1.Items.Add("Apple"); listView1.Items.Add("Banana"); listView1.Items.Add("Bananas"); listView1.Items.Ad ...Show All

• Visual C++ standard libraries

  How do I compile a cross-platform code using standard libraries such as iostream, fstream, etc Cannot open include file: 'iostream.h': No such file or directory All standard library files don't have the extension .h. Always use #include <iostream> #include <fstream> and so on. Also the new standard library classes are located in the namespace std. So you have to use using namespace std; or to extend the classes with the namespace prefix (i.e. std::string). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Approach document

  Heya, we've just started using the Foundation Server and I'm being assign with the task of creating a test approach. I opened the document "Test Approach.doc" and I have no clue whatsoever what kind of information I should put there. Is there a guide (except for the "MSF for Agile Software development" web pages) that can explain it a bit more. Terms such as "Tests supporting programming" and "Tests challenging product" are a bit vague for me. Cheers, Chris Hi Chris,     That's a reasonable question. Have you seen the version of the test approach document that appears in Build 100 with guida ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services on Win XP Pro x64

  I just installed SQL 2005 Express with advanced tools on my Win XP Pro 64 bit edition. I expected reporting services to work but it appears as if it isn't configured. I use SQL 2005 Enterprise at work and there I used the Reporting Services Configuration Toole to configure and set up reporting services. However, this tool is not available with the current install. When I installed, the installer warned that .NET 64-bit is registered and that it requires .NET 32-bit to install report server. Is there a special install I need to install report server for x64.
