• Visual Studio VSIP/Visual Studio 2005 SDK and open source language services?

  In the near future I would like to attempt a language services plug-in using the Visual Studio 2005 SDK (formerly called VSIP I believe); the free version, to be specific. However, since I may or may not have much time in the future to work on it, I was wondering if a non-viral open source license - something like MIT or BSD that does not propogate up the chain - would be OK. I do not care much about the particulars of whatever licenses are ac ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Where did my first post go?

  I can believe it was erased by moderators with no explanation nor even a response ... it was a technical question about MDX + Net Framework 2.0 + CS Express + Win XP x64 ... Currently, the forums software doesn't notify the original poster when a thread is moved.  That will change sometime in the near future. ...Show All

• SQL Server Full-Text Search / User Instances

  Is there any documentation on using full-text search with user instances Is it even supported We just spent quite a bit of time adding support for user instances into our application. It solves a number of problems for us and we're very happy with how it works. But I wouldn't have done it had I known about the FTS limitation. Please tell me there is a chance of this changing at some point ...Show All

• .NET Development newbie - can a web service open up a com port

  hello - need to find out if a web service application can open up a com port (RS232) Thanks in advance Hi, Yes. The Web Service application can open a COM Port internally. You would probably wrap that part as a separate set of classes and call it from the WebService. Here are some links to topics on Serial Port Communication with .NET http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/DotNetComPorts.asp .NET v2.0 has a Se ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET UI Application Crash

  Hi, We have a vb.NET client UI application which calls a number of web services. The application is intermittantly crashing completely without any evidence of an exception etc. The application is single threaded for the most part, the only area that deviates is a class managing serial port comms via win32 calls. (we do not use p invoke..) I understand the most likely cause for an unexpected termination of this nature is threading - more specific ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Form clattered at design time. How to change pages?

  With many controls added to a form I am beginning to sense a problem. During runtime many controls will be invisible on the first page but when subsequent pages are chosen they will appear. It is determined programmatically. I do not see an option to choose pages at design time. It would allow me to see some controls much better. In Visual dBASE Plus such convenience if taken for granted and much appreciated. How can I do it here Thanks. H ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions character string functions in C++

  Long story short I've tried using Visual Studio to get back into programming and I'm writing simple programs at the moment but I've come across this snag.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XBAP and default browser

  Hi, I got the following problem since I uninstalled the February CTP and installed the May CTP instead: When I press Ctrl-F5 in Visual Studio for a XBAP application, Firefox is started instead of IE. Since Firefox doesn't understand XBAP, I cannot run or debug the application as easily as before. I know how to change the default browser for a HTML application, but I didn't find such a setting for XBAP applications. Any hint welcomed! Greetings, ...Show All
