• Visual Basic Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition

  Today I installed Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition on my work PC and when I went to launch it the program appeared briefly (I saw the shell of the program), and then it closed a split second later.  Is this because I have Visual Basic 2003 Standard installed   Am I wise to explore Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition   Will it have features that blow away Visual Basic 2003   Thanks! Hi, No, there should be no problem with the VS2005 even if you have VB2003. And yes it has some features that would make your development much more easier. You'll have to give it a try to find out...   ...Show All

• .NET Development Unhandled exception in secondary app domain

     I am using app domains to host add-ins (.NET 2.0). If add-in does something bad, or if there is an unhandled exception in the add-in etc., I want to gracefully unload app domain without application going down. I tried AppDomain.UnhandledException, but at the time it is called application is already terminating. So how can it be done Alex Unfortunately you can't .  What you'll want to do is prevent code from creating a new thread.  Doing that involves using the unmanaged hosting APIs, which may or may not be an option in your case. -Shawn ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection String has to be reset every time when DTS package is started

  Hi All, I am trying to import data from flat file to sql server 2005 DB table using SSIS. There are 4 different text files in the input folder. I am using for loop to iterate reading and importing 4 times. In order to do this I have set "Connection String" property of a connection manager to a package level variable using expression.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLinq - CreateDatabase failing .....

  Hi all, I’m new to this particular forum so please forgive me if I’m repeating or questioning something that has already been done. I have an existing C# project with the following architecture: Interfaces -> ABC’s -> BO’s Where the Interfaces define the contracts, the ABC’s implement the contract and the BO’s inherit from the ABC’s, pretty standard I would have thought.. anyway, I am trying to shoe-horn DLinq into the equation by attributing up my ABC’s with the necessary [Table] and [Column] attributes (for the Column attributes I am using nearly the full set of attribute parameters to have strong control o ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Managed DirectX, C# & and large textures

  I have a very simple 3D world which consists of a sphere which is meant to represent the Earth. While a single texture file, like the ones which come with the DirectX SDK are good for when the whole world is being viewed, it is no good viewing it up close. Is there any way to have multiple texture files relating to specific points on a sphere, so that if for example I have a more detailed image of New Zealand, I can overlay that portion of the sphere with that detailed image, and leave the rest of the sphere with the standard texture I am relatively new to graphical programming so I'm a little lost as to which way I should be looking... a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System My computer is not in the same domain as Team System Server

  Hi guys, I'm having a problem here. My user is not in the same domain as the Team Foundaction Server (.NET 2.0 Beta 2) is! Does this mean I can't not log in on the TFS I could have the Admin create a user on the TFS with the same username and password then mine has, but that user is then in the domain of TFS. Is there a way to set a username and a password in the Team Foundation Client I did not see any textboxes in VS.NET 2005 (in the Options panel) where I could set a different username and password. How do I connect to a TFS with a different username and password then mine (the one of the user i'm currently logged in with in Windows) I g ...Show All

• SQL Server How to do bulk Delete

  I have a table that has a primary key made of 3 fields (we don't want to use a surrogate key in this situation).  In a particular process there is a work table that contains these 3 PK fields and we want to bulk delete them from the base table.  Without looping thru the work table, how can I write a Delete statement to delete records in the base table using the work table rows as the criteria This syntax illustrates what I want to do, but is not allowed by SQL.

The first one is entirely unexpected. It claims that a file "inpARR" could not be found. When I click on "locate' it offers me a file dialog box to find it. I definitely do not have any reference to a file by this name anywhere in my project. There are a few places where an array "inpARR" is used.
