• Visual Basic VB first time install

  I am a network administrator interested in program development. I installed VB 2005 Express Edition for the first time on a Win XP Pro SP2 Dell GX 260 Optiplex (1GB of RAM, 1.8 GHz processor). I log in and therefore install with admin rights. Upon writing a small program to view web pages, the IDE hangs when I start debugging to test the program. The vbexpress.exe CPU usage hits 99% and stays there. I have to use Task Manager to force the process to end. Has anyone else run across this on a first time installation of VB 2005 Express Edition I'll know more tonight. This is on my home PC, so I'll try that ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce no longer recognize the certificate file used to sign the assemblies

  Hi all, I just upgraded to the RTM and run into a problem with ClickOnce.  It no longer recognize the certificate file used to sign the assemblies with previously (this worked prior to upgrading).  The error message I got was " This certificate cannot be used for signing " I am having this exact same problem going from Beta 2 to Final. The certificate has been working for months with Beta 2 and is an Ascertia certificate, which I have seen recomended numerous times. I also think forcing people to sign their software is pretty ridiculous. Giving them the ability and opportunity to do it is one thi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Emulator is infact X86 for VS2003?

  Could anyone confirm that the emulator in VS2003 isn't actually emulating an ARM processor, but infact emulating the PPC environment on an x86 This would mean if I am running platform specific code (dll) that I must have a specific version compiled for the emulator as well as for the ARM. What's the best way to handle deployment of these different versions at the time of DEBUG/BUIlD.  Is there a technique to handle this Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Code Coverage not worknig properly during a team build

  Hello I have a problem with the team builds. In my proj file I have specified to build my solution, to run tests without specifying any test list. All my tests run correctly. I have a web site referencing four other DLLs. As I want to enable code coverage for my DLLs, I have edited the testrunconfig file to enable code coverage.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY

  I am recieving D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY Error, after roughly an hour during the execution of my D3D Application. Any idea what i need to look for This is the code i use to create my veretexBuffer: vertexBuffer = new VertexBuffer(typeof(CustomVertex.TransformedColoredTextured),6, d3dDev,Usage.None,CustomVertex.TransformedColoredTextured.Format,Pool.Managed); I dispose it every time the scene is drawn... Thanks... Usually you will dispose vertex buffers and other objects when you are done with them. Disposing the vertex buffer each frame is probably not a good idea. If you want to refill your b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Serious problems with merging files

  We have found serious problems with working on TFS source control with few branches. Many of changes occasionaly lost after merging files.

Could anybody help me Edit conflicts are thrown when edits are made in two places simultaneously -- your local workspace + the server ...Show All
