• Smart Device Development How to make sure I am working with NETCF SP3?

  Hello, I'm rather new to Visual Studio and especially SmartDevice developing. I have a decent knowledge in Borland Delphi, and i'm trying to apply my skills in .NET developing using Visual Studio 2003. Here is the brief explanation of a problem I've run into: In my application I'm using a listbox, which stores some collection items. Anyway, I want to trap the keys, pressed while listbox is focused.

• SQL Server Yukon SP performance issue

  Hi all, I'm using the next-to-latest Yukon Enterprise beta. I have an SP with a complex query and have discovered a strange performance issue. My query includes:   * 8 variables, 3 from the SP parms and 5 locally defined   * a .NET UDT I have a fairly simple schema: 9 tables of which four are accessed in the query. When I call the SP, it takes ~16s to execute. However, if I replace the parms with static values, it takes ~0.1s! What's going on Please help. Rod O.

• Visual Studio Creating Package Installer

  I have created package installer for VS2003. And used Orca to edit the msi and include 'devenv /setup' at the end of installation/uninstall process. I'm migrating my package to  2005 and wanted to see if 2005 had a mechanism to configure 'devenv /setup' from setup project instead of editing the msi. Any ideas  or thoughts on how to include it from the setup project will be appreciated. (I dont want to edit the msi built by the setup project.) Cheers, Naga I'm assuming you're asking about Visual Studio's installer projects -- in which case, the answer is no, you need to add a custom action to execute `devenv /setup` a ...Show All
