• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Uninstalling LINQ Preview from VS Beta 2

  I made the mistake of uninstalling the LINQ Preview from Add/Remove Programs before running that "Uninstall Visual Studio IDE Support" file, so VS still gives me warnings whenever I start it. I read another post suggesting to download the preview again and install it to get those files.. but MS has taken down the download for LINQ Preview that works with Beta 2. Now they only have one for the RTM release (whatever that is). I can install that o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Keeping separate models in step

  Following on from the discussion of using rules and events in an earlier posting to keep external artifacts in step with a model ( http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=69577 ), I have a related question about keeping separate models in step. Suppose you have two model files, one representing the business layer of an app and the other representing the UI layer. The UI layer is dependent on the business layer.  Presumably yo ...Show All

• SQL Server Fixed Width Flat File Destination

  Currently we're working on an SSIS package to extract data from a SQL Server database to several fixed width flat files. Some of the data needs to be formatted/converted in a certain way DateTimes need to be formatted in ISO8601 Booleans need to be 0/1 instead of False/True ... Has anybody any idea what the preferred approach (best practice) would be to do these conversions Convert everything in the select query What about readability ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiling of a header file.

  When I try to run my program I am getting no warnings and 1 error: "Cannot compile the file............ .h, no compile tool associated with the file extension." I am using M<icrosoft Visual C++ 6.0. I assumed that it should just read the header file and compile it. Am I missing something Like Nishant said, you’re supposed to compile c or cpp files not .h files. However, if for some reason you want to just compile a .h fi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Avg. Response Time

  Hi, I am running a load test containing webtests. Each webtest has one webservice request. The avg. response time of each request is aroung 12msec(0.012sec). I see a counter "% Time in Webtest Code" which shows around 45%. My question is if the avg. response time also includes the time spent in the webtest code . If this is the case, is the actual response time 12msec - 5.4msec(45% of the total avg. response time) Please ad ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Custom logic for dependency properties

  The Avalon documentation is kind of sparse on this topic. There is a section called " Dependency Property Callbacks and Value Method Override" but it is blank! I need to know exactly what happens when you get/set a DP or when other things happen to it like animation and such. I need to know how all the following fit into the pipeline: DependencyObject.GetValue DependencyObject.GetValueBase DependencyObject.ReadLocalValue (why no WriteLocalVa ...Show All

• Visual C++ Heap/Stack Overflow/Overrun Issues

  I am running a simulation program in VC++ 6 that requires arrays (dynamic or otherwise) that will eventually have as many as 200,000 entries of type "double". The program works fine when I use small arrays (with a few hundred entries) but fails when I increase the array size to say several thousands. The error code is "Unhandled exception in sim.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack Overflow". I guess the main question is, if possible ...Show All

• Windows Forms Activation Failed (Windows Side-By-Side Error)

  I'm getting this pesky error when I deploy through clickonce using .net 2.0. I know the side-by-side execution allows for multiple .net runtimes to live on the same box and be used by different apps but I can't seem to get the correct manifest for my .net 2.0 app to execute on the client. I found a very ugly workaround which basically involves going into the application target folder after the install and and manually deleting the file with the ...Show All
