• .NET Development Resolving Types during object de-serialization

  Hi guys, I have a problem getting the right type during de-seialization using the BinaryFormatter. In my Application I have two exactly same assembly-dlls with type definitions. The dlls were created dynamically. (I need this copy, to edit the one assembly, while the other is loaded in my AppDomain (Assembly.LoadFrom(...))). These assemblies are located in different directories, one in my application directory, the other somewhere else. Now, I get trouble in the further processing if the application use the type definitions in the one assembly and the BinaryFormatter uses the other assembly dll (this one in my application directory). So is t ...Show All

For example: i.e Do we upgrade the current VSS 6.0d installation to 2005 (Will Visual Studio 6 still function with VSS 2005 ) ans store bot ...Show All

• SQL Server How do you add MSXML6.DLL in GAC?

  Hi! I need to add MSXML6.DLL in GAC. It does not have assembly manifest. Even if I create a strong key, I cannot associate it with the dll without a source module. Would you help me on this please Gulden Here is the answer I received for another post and it worked perfrctly. Try using the Type Library Importer to generate your own wrapper class that you then sign and install into the GAC. You can find an article on MSDN on how to do that here and a brief article elsewhere about how this works and where it can be useful. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions events in VC++express 2006

  Can someone help me with the events in VC++express 2005 I dont't know what to write at the events(click- ) I assume you mean .NET events and you want to consume (use) events, and not make your own events. If you're a new developer, I recommend you learn how to do events in C#. The process of consuming events in C++ is [almost] the same as consuming them in C# (the lightning symbol is in both IDEs). Creating your own events for others to use... that's a different story. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Native DLL, how can I deploy different DLL's based on device - IE: Emulator (X86/Arm/MIPS) etc

  I have a native DLL.  How can I deploy different DLL's based on device - IE: Emulator (X86/Arm/MIPS) etc. I've seen SQL Server CE do this (seperate cabs for each platform), how can I do the same Thanks! If you asking about production deployment, you need to build several CABs one for each supported processor. You probably would have to tweak INF file to do that. If you’re targeting PPC 2002 or above, all you need is an ARM. If you're talking about debugging in VS, there's no support for that available to you. NETCF and SQL CE CABs are deployed using special code to do that. You can deploy all DLLs under differ ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005: Why is FormFactor visible in the property grid for a Control

  Hi, Why is FormFactor visible in the property grid for a Control Is it possible to set a skin for a Control In that case, why can't I find any way to show the skin For a Form there are a Skin property as well which shows or hides the skin. Best regards, Joakim Hi…   FormFactor determines among other things, the resolution of the screen, its size, orientation…   If a control houses other controls and/or paints some custom stuff on itself, you want it to be right for each of the FormFactors.   The designer is all about letting you rapidly develop UI that is seen when your app is running. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) When will the C# version of LinQ be ready for VS.NET 2005 RC0

  I am very excited about LinQ and would like to use it asap. Since I have to use the VS.NET 2005 RC0 version to create demos, I would like to inquire when will the C# version of LinQ be ready for VS.NET 2005 RC0.   Yes, I know that LinQ is already compatible with the VB version of the RC0 VS.NET release, but I would like to show Java programmers a flavor of what they are missing ! If the normal CLR metadata could encode a type declaration w/o a name, such that all types with the same signature (across all modules) would become the same type, then the anonymous types could flow freely outside the me ...Show All
