• Visual Studio How can you provide input to AddProjectDependencyAction without a wizard?

  I would like to use the AddProjectDependencyAction but I do not want to gather the project input information from the user through a wizard.  I am able to derive the project names as strings in the recipe but the Action wants EnvDTE.Project types as input.  I attempted to use the ProjectConverter but have been unsuccessful. Is it possible to convert a string argument into a EnvDTE.Project Argument and then pass that to the AddProjectDependencyAction You can pass the hardcoded string using a value provider, and use the ProjectConverter class. This class converts a "virtual" path to ...Show All

• Visual Studio SourceSafe plug-in in Beta2?

  Any of my projects that previously were connected to SourceSafe now generate an exception that the plug-in is unavailable. Sure enough, there are no source control plug-ins installed. Is this something that must be independently installed to access Source Safe Strange that this all worked just fine in Beta1. I have successfully installed Visual Studio Team Suite Beta 2. I still get that error. I am not using Team Project yet so I don't really care about that. Let me know, please! thanks, Darcy ...Show All

• Visual Basic Help using for...next

  Using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition I am trying to make a for..next statement that clears the text of several text boxes. All the text boxes are called: Textbox1 right up to Textbox9 So i thought using a for..next statement, each time it loops through two strings are combined, one containing textbox and the other the loop number e.g. 1, 2, 3. But i had two problems, one i could not combine a string and an integer, and the other is putting the string as an object, (so Solution.string+integer.text).

• Visual Studio Team System Systems Designer does not update web.config

  AD successfully updates the Impersonate setting in web.config, whereas Systems Designer does not.  Am I missing something I can override the Impersonate setting, whereas I set the password and UserName as not-overridable. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Hello Jean-Pierre, If I'm understanding you correctly then this is not limited to the setting that you mention. For example, if I set authentication mode to "Forms" in Application Designer the config file for the implemented app will show that setting as "Forms", even if I include that app in a System and override the setting to "Windows" in System Designer ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting and events

  I'm completely disappointed of .NET Remoting. I'm developing an application which requires messages to be sent from a server computer to clients connected to it. Apparently (correct me if I'm wrong) there are two ways to do that: TCPChannels and direct tcp communication .NET Remoting Since I find TCPChannels to be very low level procedure, I want to use .NET Remoting. However I've lost the whole day searching for code on how to implement events over remoting. I haven't found very few incomplete examples for .NET 1.1 and VS2003 and none for .NET Framework 2 and VS2005. I finally came to this forum to find out that .NET Remoting's future ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Ressource compiler in 64-bit!

  I'm using VC++ and all our project are x86/x64 hybrid project, it's working fine but for one little thing. I have some problem with the rc file, in 64-bit there's NO define to detect if we are in 64-bit or 32-bit. I try to automaticly set the architecture in the file version properties, so I only need to set it in one rc file that all project already include. I tried all the following macro and NONE of them are defined for rc.exe : _WIN64, _AMD64_, WIN64, _M_AMD64, _M_X64 All those macro are working in my cpp file but not in the rc file. I can manually do a /D "_WIN64" for the rc command line in 64-bit but I d ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "yield enumerate"...

  (Slightly off-topic, but it at least deals with enumerations.) Lately, I've found myself using the following pattern: public IEnumerable<T> Foo(IEnumerable<T> values, IEnumerable<T> moreValues) {     foreach (T t in values)    {       yield return t;    }     foreach (T t in moreValues)    {       yield return t;    }     // more yielding }   For example, if I want to maintain the sanctity of values, but catenate another set of values (checksums, e ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Activity Approach
