• Visual Studio Express Editions Database not updating. Just installed SQL Server Database. Please help!

  I just installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition to allow me to create databases in VB Express. The installation went fine (or so it seemed). When I complete the example to create a database and try to save the changes in the file, they are not retained. I use the following statement to verify the changes have been made, but when I exit and return to the database, the changes are not made. If I make changes, the If statemetn correctly indicates the number of cahnges. But the are not saved. Any suggestions Dim RowsAffected As Integer = 0 RowsAffected = Me .CustomerTableAdapter1.Update( Me .MyCompanyDataSet1.Customer) If ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System New Group remains invisible by WIT system

  I add new group to TFS (through Visual Studio Team Explorer). When I am trying to use this group in WI type definition, witimport fails with " '[Project]\New Group' is not a valid user or group name " message. Authoring Work Item Type document from extensibility kit talking about "up to 30 minute" latency between when new group add and when it is recognized by WIT system.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Difficult to Layout InfoPath Forms

  I am using the InfoPath Form Template in VSTS 1005 and I find it extremely Hard and Difficult to Layout InfoPath Forms. When I drag a TextBox from the Toolbox and Associate it to a Data Source Field, the InfoPath Editor automatically inserts the Field Name in front of the TextBox control. It is difficult to control the formatting of these Text Labels for the Field Names that were inserted. The Field Names are not all the same width, so the TextBoxes are not Left Alligned well and the Form Layout looks Very Bad. I can't find any Allignment commands for the fields. Surely laying out InfoPath Forms can't be all this diffidult and poorly alli ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team project and Source Control issues

  We are having an issue with Source Control. I deleted a team project and then recreated it (no error messages from this process). However somehow the source code for the project was not deleted. So in the Source Control browser the project does not show. So I try another method and attempt access to the Source Control for this project from the Team Explorer and I get an error asking "Would you like to create the source control folder, $EMF ". Pressing yes results in and Error dialog with "The item $/EMF already exists"). I am a team administrator and have full rights to the system. What I need to be able to do is l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do I get the code analyzer to test a rule on a textbox?

  Hi, I have a question, I’ve just started to use the code analysis tool that comes integrated with VS2005 and I’m trying to write a custom rule to check that all TextBoxes start with "txt" but I don’t know how to start, since the TextBoxs aren’t declared on the .cs file, and the analyzer doesn’t seem to pick them up. Any ideas on what should I do You could try something similar to this:   public override ProblemCollection Check(Member member)  {      Field field = member as Field;        // Is the provided member a field   &n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions problems installing Visual Studio C++ Express

  Hello, I couldn't install using the Installation Wizard, I got a message about it not being able to download b/c it couldn't install MS.NET Framework 2.0. (I did click on a link to separately install this component, but the Wizard still wouldn't work.) Then I went to the manual install link. I successfully downloaded and installed isobuster to recognize IMG files. Then I went to the folder on my hard drive where I put the C++ installation files. I couldn't find a file that is named setup.exe, although there are several files that have setup in their names. The one called Setup (Suite Integration Toolkit Executable) didn't open.

• Visual C++ NULL STL string exception with 2005

  The following code properly throws an exception that is caught in the "catch(...)" below on Visual C++ version 6.0 and Visual C++ 2003. However, an exception is thrown that is not caught and a CRASH occurs on version 2005 of Visual C++. This seems like an extremely serious bug to me. Does anyone know: 1.) Is this a confirmed bug by Microsoft 2.) Is there a safe way around it. By "safe" I do not mean "just don't pass NULL". It seems extremely risky to me that any accidental NULL string pointer would result in a crash. 3.) Is there a way to catch the exception Thanks Code Below --------------- ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataGridView leaks due to insuficent ToolTip cleanup

  We have a control in our application that derives from the DataGridView control. I've spent all day tracking down leaks in our app using the SciTech profiler. I believe that I have found a leak in the DataGridView that occurs through the internal DataGridViewToolTip class. When the grid is setup to use tooltips and the first one is activated the underlying ToolTip coomponent is created and part of that initialisation is to figure out what the top level control is and attached a handler for the ParentChanged event to that control. Later on when we dispose of our DataGridView derived control, we can the base class dispose method (i.e th ...Show All
