• Visual Studio custom task

  I created a dummy skeleton task and I'm trying to use it in my custom project build file, but I'm getting this error when I do a build: Error 1 The "XgenGenTask" task was not found. Check the following: 1.) The name of the task in the project file is the same as the name of the task class. 2.) The task class is "public" and implements the Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask interface. 3.) The task is correctly declared with <UsingTask> in the project file, or in the *.tasks files located in the "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" directory.

• Visual Studio Licensing & pricing

  I thought I should start a thread on licensing and pricing where we can give some feedback to MS on the type of scenarios we intend to implement and how various licensing & pricing schemes would interact with that. As I see it there are two separate questions here: 1) What license is required to author a DSL 2) What license is required to use a DSL For 1) I guess the main question is which edition of Visual Studio will be required, and whether one will need to join the VSIP program in order to author and distribute a DSL widely. For 2) a lot more questions come to mind: a) Which version of Visual Studio will be able to host a DSL b ...Show All

• Visual Basic File Access in windows service App

  I want to create a file in windows service app vb.net (File.ceate(path)) but i get an access denied exception.is it possible to create a file in windows service app This question is probably more suited to one of the general purpose VB or Windows programming forums, but I'll do my best to answer your question. It is possible to create files from a Windows service using File.Create so the exception you're seeing is legitimate. The most likely cause is that the user account that the service is running under doesn't have write access to the location where you're trying to create the file so you shou ...Show All

• Windows Forms Implements IBindingListView Problem

  Does anyone have a VB sample of a collection implementing the  IBindingListView interface. I need to make the filter option availabe from the BindingSource for my objects. Thanks Ken Fair point about declaring unfilteredItems as List<Of T>. I missed that one. Thanks Also, extremely good point about using the proper interface! I guess I've always been a bit rebellious when it comes to following rules. I like to consider myself as "thinking outside the box" ;-) I hope to learn a great deal from you in the future. Cheers.

• Windows Forms Zero touch deployment bug

  We have just developed a system where the client Winforms communicate with a middle tier via .NET remoting.  Everything works fine when running the client from Visual Studio or from a complied exe file.  However, when running the client app via Zero touch deployment we receive strange remoting errors.  The errors seem to be saying that our remoting channel has already been registered.  Why do we only receive this error when using the app via Zero touch deployment   Any ideas by Zero touch do you mean ClickOnce If so can you run your app diretly from the installed location (not t ...Show All

• SQL Server debugger doesn't stop at breakpoint while debugging SQLCLR function

  Hi, I have created one simple SQL Server 2005 CLR function in Visual Studio 2005 beta 2. It works fine from SQL Server 2005 management studio April CTP.   When I try to debug this SQL CLR function from Visual Studio 2005, I am getting the output in Output window along with debug information but it is not stopping at breakpoint.

There is no Web.Conifg file, as it is Database project. So I changed the debug = true in machine.config file at ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Commands Suspended

  Whenever I execute the command Select count(*) from any_table to get a count of the rows in the table, 9 processes get created and each one of them is listed as being Suspended. The first process has a wait type of CXPACKET with no resource listed and the other 8 all have a wait type of PAGEIOLATCH_SH with a resource of 8:1:nnnnnnnn. The command will sit in this state for 3 - 5 minutes and then return the result. I am seeing this type of wait in other commands from time to time but the select count will cause it every time. What is causing the command to be suspended How do I find out what the resource is that it is waiting on Any informatio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Databases (lots of 'em!)

  Hi there, I am new at Visual Basic Express, and am in the process of planning a Visual Basic Application. The project will rely on a a database - I am uncertain on a number of things. The data will need to be accessible in the office of the company - I was thinking of either on their NAS, or hosted on the Web. a) Which is better -Microsoft SQL Server or Microsoft Access I know that if I pick Microsoft Access, I can upload it onto a host no problem, and also put it on the NAS. If I was to use SQL server, would I only have to place the mdf file on the NAS b) Is it possible ...Show All

  If you will, list or explain the nature, language rules, and-or syntax of symbols used in C++ code. ...fine yet, I find your refusal to directly answer extremely irritating (I would prefer you answer directly, and then, if you will to do so, list any references as additional references, rather than implying whatever presumption you might; or don't reply at all, exceptions being when such refrences as you might give link directly to the answer or are described pertaining to such) but, yes, I found an answer for the "identifier name" question, via search engine ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem installing MSDN after Visual Basic Express

  Hello, I installed Visual Basic 2005 Express and it just works fine. I chose the manual installation fron a CD image because the internet connection would not work.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Direct X update

  Hi I have windows xp sp2 v2080 direct X 9.0B and i am trying to install direct X 9.0c but when i install direct X it seems to install fine but if i run dxdiag it tells me i still have direct X 9.0B Installed and the qasf file is old and may cause problems! Thank Trevor Is your system fully up-to-date with other security fixes and upgrades I'm not sure what the 'qasf file' is, but I suppose it is possible that DirectX has a dependency that you don't satisfy. Try and find the "directx.log" file - I think it's in the \windows\system folder (if not, just run a search on it). It'll probably be quite dense - but it should list th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Upcasting/Downcasting name jargon

  Well I am a little confused with naming jargon of casting. My intended goal was: CBase* pBase = static_cast (derived); What is it called upcasting/downcasting I guess what we are doing is casting a pointer from Dervied Class to Base one so we are moving up in hierachy. Should It not be called upcasting . and There are many articles where it is called upcasting like for example: http://www.codeproject.com/managedcpp/castingbasics.asp While in MSDN they interpret as downcasting: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_mfc_static_downcast.asp Which one is correct Best Regards, ...Show All
