• Visual Studio Express Editions .NET Framework 2.0 won't install 'cause Windows Installer 3.1 won't start

  Hi, all... Can someone explain what to do here To install the .NET Framework 2.0 on a Windows XP system that does not yet have SP2, I must first install the Windows Installer version 3.1. I did that, but the Installer service won't start. When I try to start it, I get a message "Error 997 - Overlapped I/O Operation is in progress." I thought I might uninstall the Windows Installer and then try to reinstall, but when running the Remove Programs control panel, it shows me a whole bunch of dependencies and complains that a whole bunch of programs might not run properly if I remove the Installer, including many of the Security Updates for ...Show All

• .NET Development SqlDataSource Exception Handling

  When you create a sqlDataSource in code and bind it to a gridview you have the luxury of trapping errors as you bind the source. How does one do the same when you drag and drop a datasource and a gridview. If i were, for instance, to add a querystring parameter to my datasource that expects a integer. When you pass it a character it comes up with ye old yellow and black screen. How would one handle this error gracefully The same goes for a connectionstring error. I have found ways to handle the errors occuring during update of a gridview, but can't find anything w.r.t the datasource binding. Hi ZenithSurfe ...Show All

• SQL Server Urgent: Can't schedule a backup of production database

  Hi, I am finding creating scheduled backups (either a full or a tlog) through the maintenance wizard impossible.  It all seems to create fine however after the maintenance plan is create and I execute it, or leave it to run of it's own accord I get either no backup file created or a 0kb backup file.  My feeling is that either MS shouldn't have released this part as it is so buggy or we should not have upgraded yet. Has anyone else had these issues and managed to resolve them Stewart   Ok, I have given away using the Wizard.  I am now using the design surface and am able to ge ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What's become of the Team Foundation Power Toy (tfpt.exe)?

  I can find lots of references to the powertoy, but they all appear to be quite old, and refer to the version of the powertoy from the beta 3 timeframe. Does that old version still work with the RTM services, is there a newer version somewhere, or is the RTM-compatible version lost in the woodwork somewhere Right now it still lives in the VSIP SDK (registration required). It will eventually be published on the TFS Downloads page, hopefully soon. ...Show All

  Hello, I like to write a dialog program that will respond some action for mouse right click while the dialog window is minimized. I don't know which WM_ will fit in this need work and what class this message event handler will belong to. Any ideas Pls advise me. Thanks. Messages are sent to the window over which actions were done, so if your window is minimized, no message will be sent to it.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Managing deletion of bookmark controls

  Hello, I am implementing a Word customization that ue bookmark controls to identify pieces of text in a document. I would like to perform some cleanup procedures when the user deletes one of the bookmark when editing the contents of the document. It appears that the VSTO runtime has a way to keep track of this because he properly updates the Control collection in this case. For example, if I create a bookmark control using Visual Studio, then delete the range in the word design surface, the control list is automatically updated to reflect this change. Does anyone know how I can achieve the same behavior in my customization An ...Show All
