  Hello all, I unisntall products as it are recommended (VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 beta 2) in readme.txt of MSDN products subscription... I install VS 2005 Pro and I have no problem during install.

The connection will be closed." In MBSA report, I see that the folders of SQL doesn't contain another account than Administrator and VS2005 users. I delete other accounts but the problem is the same.

• Visual C# Compiling a native C DLL for use in VC# using DllImport

  Hi Group! I'm a C# newbie (real wet and raw) as well as a complete newbie to Microsoft OS programming. Normally I use native 'C' on Posix complient platforms - which I've been doing for many decades. Scruitinsed this BB for an answer but can't find anything close. Also burrowed around in Visual C# IDE for clues - none forthcoming. For reasons of speed and size I want to write a suite of routines in native 'C' and encapsulate them in an external module - presumably a DLL. Can someone please give me a pointer to how to get started in Microsoft products Can Visual C# IDE compile a native C routine (after all most C++ IDE's can) and what do I ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Client Callback Address, wsDualHttpBinding and Windows Security

  Hi, Are there any chances that on the client side wsDualHttpBinding works without starting the client process under a windows administrator account We tried to start our client app with a non Windows administrator account and got an "Access denied" exception from the .NET framework, because the client app tried to register a callback URL (e.g.: http://localhost:8030/ClientCallback/ ) . We do not get this exception when we execute the client app with a local windows xp admin account - of course.

• SQL Server SSRS 2005 dataset from another assembly

  Hi We're using VS 2005 Beta 2 to develop an ASP.NET application. There are three projects in the solution, the Web site, the business object layer and the data layer. The data layer contains all our datasets. The business layer contains business objects that we access via the ObjectDataSource datasources in the web app. Is there any way that we can create reports in the web app that use the datasets from the datalayer assembly I also don't want the RDL to contain the connection string and query information. I've managed to do it manually by first creating the report in the data layer assembly and then moving it to the web app, but that ...Show All

• .NET Development Solution found

  I have a solution which contains a winform project and a webservice. I am trying to step from the code in a form into the code in the webservice, but it doesn't work. I just step over the code in the service to the next code line in the form. Until this morning it worked fine, so I am a bit confused what might have happened since it suddenly doesn't work. In web.config I have < compilation debug = " true " /> I have searced a bit on the net and found the tip of adding the ASP.NET user to the "debugger users" group. However, as expected since it did work recently presumably without the ASP.NET user being a member of this group, ...Show All

• Windows Forms ComboBox - Read Only?

  Looking at the ComboBox control in VS2003 and in the August CTP of C# Express, there doesn't seem be a readonly property. When I used to program in C++ using MFC I'm sure the ComboBox controls were readonly by default. Is there an easy way of making the .NET Windows Forms ComboBox readonly Thanks in advance Doug Holland Hi, As I understand, setting your combobox into a dropdownlist would disable the user to place values in it manually. Also, I tried programatically setting the text property of the combobox(dropdownlist mode) and still its disabled... So I think setting the type of the combobox into a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is it possible to make comments snap-to-grid?

  Is it possible to make comments snap-to-grid when resizing and moving like the other shapes The ability to adjust alignment within the comments would also be handy, I'm assuming that this isn't possible Yes, unfortunately they are not supported.  A workaround for snap to grid is you could multi-select the comment shape with other shapes and then move.  It should make the comment shape snap to grid.

• Windows Live Developer Forums Clarification

  So if i'm right, Microsoft is releasing MSN Messenger Activity API's for the protocol Good, in a way, but will Microsoft change they're licence to allow us to create applications (such as MSN Messenger Robots and 3rd Party MSN Messenger Clients) that will connect to the .NET Messenger Network , because if not, then this is really just for refrence.... Well I think encryption would be fine, given that translation is an example in the documentation.  Photo Sharing is probably out of the question -if- it works like the current Photo Swap (aka, some sort of flickr viewer/sharer would probably be fine -- ...Show All

The only flga that is useful is _WIN32_WCE which is defined for all those cases where the device side code differs from desktop code. The best place to get the information about the differences shall be msdn documentation or dicusssion forums. Thanks ...Show All
