• Visual Studio Team System Deployment folder won't get copied.

  In my test project I have a folder with a few xml files which I set the properties to be content/copy always. I added this folder to the additional files and directories to deploy window in my .testrunconfig file. When I run my test, all xml files are copied to the out directory but not the folder. So it basically flattens the directory structure on deployment. How do I tell it to preserve the directory structure Thanks. The directory structure is maintained beneath the directory that was selected for deployment. However, the selected directory itself is not created in the deployment directory. Thanks ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX Application deployment

  Hi There, I am working on a Direct3D application with C# 2005 Beta. It runs fine within and outside the 2005 IDE on my computer, but It won't run on somebody else's comp. (I can deploy non-directX applications though) The other person has the same version of DirectX (9.0c), and the .Net framework (2.0 Beta) as I do. On the other computer, the program crashes right away and it says " myProg has encountered an error and needs to close... " Is it enough to just copy and launch the "myprog.exe" file Do i need to forward the 3 DirectX DLL files that my program references. If so, is it OK to just copy them next to the exe file, ...Show All

  Hi, i'm having a freak problem. When i'm trying to compile the code, Visual says: "error compiling, sub rutine too long. I know it's long, but... Can someone tell me if this is normal How can I compile a large sub rutine Thanks That's interesting, how many lines are in it Your solution is to break it up into managable subroutines: it sounds like a complete nightmare to debug/maintain. As a general rule of thumb, a subroutine/function should be no more than a single viewable page. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Weird Debug-Exceptions window question

  I want to turn off Native Run-Time Checks whilst debugging using VS 2005. In VS 2003, I would go to Debug-Exceptions, and then for Native Run-Time Checks, make the relevant choices as to turning them on and off. Now in VS2005, I am having some problems. In the same window (Debug-Exceptions), some computers in my network have two columns of check boxes - Thrown and UserHandled Exceptions (the second column being the one you could use to control this feature), and some do not show the second column. How do I get those that are not displaying the second column (User Handled) to indeed do so Thank you very much ...Show All

• SQL Server Help: Multiple sub-reports creating extra blank pages on print

  I have a project with multiple pages of reports. I am using one main page with all the other reports added through the sub-report control. The only problem is, after the first page and a couple of the other pages, it inserts a blank page in the print preview. If I view and print the reports seperately, and not all on the main report page they print fine, they don't roll over, don't print any extra blank pages. This only occurs when I add all them all as sub-reports. The last 5 pages don't suffer from this problem either. Can anyone think of what the problem could be, or a way to solve it All the pages are 8.5x11 with no margins. As I sai ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Focus after bookmark insert?
