• Visual Studio Express Editions Embedded application Icon in exe

  Hi, I have had a new icon to my project, setting Build Action to Embedded Resource. Using the application tab in the project properties, select this icon as application Icon. The result is that the ICON is not embedded in the "exe" but in a separate folder. how can I embed it in the "exe". Regards I would add them directly to the resources. View the project properties and click the Resources tab. It will tell you if there are none and let you add a resource file in that case. Click on the Add Resource drop down and select Add Existing file. Select the icon you want and rebuild. Now you can access that ...Show All

• Windows Forms Rogue browser control - AxSHDocVw in Windows Forms App

  Hi, I seem to be getting some crazy behaviour from the SHDocVW internet browser control in my app - whenever i change the visibility or location of the parent form, the browser control seems to pop out and sit in the top left hand corner of the screen - you only notice it if you make the form visible again.

  Hi, I have a database and a datagrid to view the data. Now I want to delete a record in the recordset. I use datagrid.RemoveCurrent() to delete the currently selected record. So far it works.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hierarchies in DataContracts

  Is it sensible to create a hierarchy using DataContracts For instance i would like to have one DataContract contain a (generic) list of children that are also DataContracts. What are the issues in doing this Secondly I'm not sure of what my options are regarding initialization of the members of a DataContract. Do I have to have a create method on my ServiceContract for every DataContract I wish to initialize I only really want to initialize value types and instantiate a List (see above). Does this require a call to a service method Thanks for any advice, Dave. You can use the OnDeserializing method to ap ...Show All

• SQL Server Distribution

  Hi, I am having some problems relating to the distribution (i think) of SMO. I have developed a web-based application (ASP.NET - VB) for the remote administration and management of an instance of SQL Server (either 2000 or 20005). However, while the application builds and runs successfully, from within Visual Studio when i try and publish the website, i start running into problems. i.e. it connects the the sql server and can list the databases, but seems to have problems retrieving server details or database objects (tables, etc...). I think its something to do with permissions (as it normally is), but does anyone have any ideas. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Enforce Clean Builds

  I have attempted to enforce the Clean Build through a source control check-in policy, but it doesn't seem to work.

I will continue to try to get it to work. I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a known issue in beta 2 and a waste of my time to try to get it to work. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Task Duration MS Project vs. VSTF Task

  The task duration in MS project is in days. I use man hours in my Team Project tasks (work items). If I say something will take 20 man hours, MS Project sees that at less than a day. What does one do to make more sense of this inside MS Project Jason, You should be able to configure Project to set the number of hours per day so that 20 hrs translates to 2 1/2 days (assuming 8 hrs per day) rather than 1 day. On the Tools menu, click Options , and then click the Calendar tab. If you want to change how many hours Microsoft Office Project 2003 schedules for 1 day, enter it in the Hours per day box. For example, if you want Proj ...Show All

• SQL Server Accurate divisions?

  Hi, how can i get a accurate division in tsql - is there some way of casting Problem is simple, "SELECT 3 / 2" is "1" - what can i do to get 1.5 as result When both 3 and 2 are integers, you get a division by integers, so it's rounded to 1. You could either cast (look up CAST in BOL) to the desired datatype explicitly, or just add a decimalpoint to one of the numbers, then it will be implicitly casted. SELECT 3 / 2.0 ---------- 1.500000 (1 row(s) affected) =;o) /Kenneth ...Show All
