Visual Studio Express Editions Newbie: Form problems
Why is it that I will loose all of the labels, textboxes, and everything off of a form. I have built an application with about 50+ forms, certain forms will lose the information in them (in the design view only though). If I build and run the app, all of the textboxes and labels are there, but my toolstrip buttons are...not visible, even though they are fully useable. I have noticed that the forms that this happens on are all have two extra files now. for instance, there is a form1.vb, then a form1.resx, and a form1.designer.vb. does anyone know why this happens and what I can do to prevent this from happening in the future Thanks in a ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Vista CTP on MSDN???
I was told that the vista CTP would be on MSDN, but I don't see it yet. Does anyone here know where it is at the moment. I am dying to get my hands on this build.

Will this one have the same fate If you don't know when it will be on MSDN, do you know who I can call at Microsoft to find the answer I tried MSDN online conceirge and they don't even know the build exists according to the person I talked to.

.NET Development DataSet problem
When i try to add or modify data into dataset visual studio loses datasource or crashes. Only if i restart visual studio i can reset it and continue work. Thanks in advance. In general this sounds like an installation problem. Best bet would be un-install Visual Studio completely and re-install from scratch. If you repost please let us know what version of VS you are using as well. ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Session Value in URL
In a webtest I've recorded, a session value is present in the URL for some of the requests. When I replay the webtest, the test is marked as passed even though it does not complete the desired business scenario. I understand that when I replay the script this session value is no longer valid and in fact I can see a new value being returned in a response header (in the Location field). The session value in the very next request is replaced with the new value, but for all subsequent requests the session value is set to its initial value from recording and remains unchanged. I've tried to add an extraction rule (Extract Text / E ...Show All

Visual C++ Console Applications only work on computer with the IDE
I'm using a text book to learn C++ and am writing my first programs. They compile fine and work the way I want them to, from Visual Studio or Windows Explorer. However, if I move them to another computer (with a disk), they don't work. Something about the configuration of the application. I've tried CLR console apps and Win 32 console apps (with header). I move the entire project, not just the .exe I would really like to be able to give other people my programs, please help me out!! PLEASE! You may need to give people the .NET framework ( for CLR apps ), and you almost certainly need to deploy the ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions "C# was designed for beginners and hobbyist's"
"C# was designed for beginners and hobbyist's" Hmm this statement kind of bugs me as most proffesional software engineering jobs now days are completely C#, so yes its an easy language to learn and was developed to be easy to learn, thats just how language naturaly progresses. Things need to get easier, not harder, and as society progresses programming languages will become easier and easier, not soley to make beginners learn them easier, but to make it easier and faster for professionals to write and execute programs. Every single job offering I've seen for software developing has been Java and C# orriented, completely. Maybe the s ...Show All
Visual Studio VSS 2005 Price
How much will VSS 2005 cost independently We can not afford to buy a MSDN license or anything like that and want the new features. We already have VSS 6.0 which we had to purchase independently also from VS.NET 2003. Along the same lines, there seems to be no real Visual SourceSafe 2005 presence on msdn.microsoft.com. The only thing I can find is under "Previous Versions"! ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Error opening project VSS to VSTS migration
Hi, After migrating to VSTS VSS, I keep on getting the following error on opening the project "There appears to be a discrepancy between the solution's source control information about some project(s) and the information in the project file(s).

SQL Server casting integer to month
Hi, in the database that we use for learning reporting services a month is saved as an integer in a column. In the report I would like to have the month fully written istead of the numbers 1 to 12. Is this possible with the CAST function or the CONVERT function, I can't find the exact information in the msdn. greetings My post was TSQL syntax, if you want to format that inyour code (VBScript) you have to do something like =FORMAT("MM",yourdate) or =MONTH(Yourdate), sorry but I don’t have the syntax right in my mind, perhaps you can check the help file form the report builder.

SQL Server Why is there no warning if an input to an Aggregate component is not sorted
All in the subject. Donald Farmer wrote: Anyone here. We have this as a possible refinement for the future, Jamie. In fact there are a range of optimizations that sorting can enable, such as Max and Min aggregates, and Top-n, Bottom-n. Something to look forward to! donald Cool.

Visual Studio Express Editions Problems encountered when changing to 2005
Hello, I just installed VC++ Express 2005 and opened my project in it. It seems several changes were made in the compiler that now causes my code to be erroneous. I'd like an explanation why these things have changed and the best way to correct them if possible (when its not obvious). 1. I noticed the Win32 Application project wizard was gone. Why 2. for-loops no longer accept previous loop-variables from same-level for-loops to be used. Why 2003 allowed both that and redefinitions. That was great. 3. std::vector functions can no longer use the vector.erase(&vector[ i ]); syntax. Why Thats the easiest way to use these functions. We ...Show All
