• Visual Studio Yellow Arrows??

  I seem to be having a very basic yet confusing dilema. For some reason when I debug the program just runs through and no yellow arrows come up at all. It's as if I ran the program. I tried using breakpoints but there is no effect. Is there any answers for this It seems that your debuger is unable to hit your breakpoint. Do you see question mark on your breakpoint If so, try to ReBuild your program, close your Visual Studio, and try again. Regards, -chris ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Designer and the Toolbox

  We are working on integrating the workflow desinger into our suite of tools. Our shell currently has a toolbox that implements the IToolboxService interface. When we create the DesignSurface for the Workflow designer, we pass in our root service provider (which contains our toolbox service). However, the Workflow designer never asks our service provider for the IToolboxService (though it does ask for many other services). How does the list of available activities, etc, get populated in the Visual Studio toolbox Thanks! I'm trying to create activities and workflows on-the-fly (xoml) and drop them onto the de ...Show All

• SQL Server Deployment worked when it shouldn't have done

  I've just had a situation where, when trying to process a cube, it failed because one of my Script Commands referenced a non-existent dimension. Now I have no problem with that - its easily fixed.

• Visual Basic Generating thumbnails for video files?

  OK, I posted this same question previously and have gotten no replies, so perhaps I was too vague and need to rephrase it.  Everyone is familiar with the "thumnails" folder view in Windows 2000/XP, and how thumbnails are generated for movie files   Well, in an application I'm trying to develop (and unfortunately am about to hit my deadline), I have a need to generate a "preview" thumbnail when a video file (avi/mpeg/etc) is selected in a particular listview.  I have no idea how to go about doing this, and I can't find any documentation ANYWHERE on how to do it.  Do you use a Windows API or DirectX or what   Should I ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can't launch the .exe on the emulator

  I'm using VS.NET 2003 to code Smart Device applications.  My problem occurs when I use the Windows CE and Pocket PC 2003 emulators. VS connects to the emulator, deploys everything well (CAB and application specific files), but then a problem occurs when it tries to LAUNCH the application itself. It says : Application launching Error executing the project : Impossible to start debug Impossible to start program 'C:\S7GI\MYSTUDIOTESTS\SmartDeviceApplication6\bin\Debug\SmartDeviceApplication6.exe'. Anyone knows what could cause this problem Thanks Pierre You are right the CPU is not important for the managed appli ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to change working preferences on the Start Page of Visual Studio 2005

  Hi, I have installed the trial version of Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition on my PC. At the end of the setup it has been asked me which type of language I would have used more frequently: I have selected Visual C# and clicked OK, so setup has finished. Now the VS 2005 start page is set to show me various features of C# (about Getting Started, MSDN, etc.). If I would need to change the working preferences of the start page (setting it to Visual Basic, for example), how can I do (I have checked all the menus, but I have found nothing about that). I have read that somewhere there would be a menu voice called "My Profile", but i ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dynamic ContextMenuStrip Events

  I have a user control grid, that I want to have a customizable menu associated with. I can get the standard portion of the menu to trigger an event within the grid to perform that function (e.g. Export to Excel), but I do not know how to add an extra menu item at runtime, and pass that event to the parent form. The article at http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpref32/html/T_System_Windows_Forms_ContextMenuStrip.asp shows how to add menu items (Apples etc.), but does not show how to define the event associated with that, which would still be in my grid user control. Then I would want to pass it up ...Show All

How do you declare an abstract property to return an instance of a template class that will be instantiated with the type of the derived class (what a mouthful!) i.e.: public abstract class Node {     public abstract NodeList< > ConnectedNodes {get;} } public class GraphNode : Node {     private NodeList< > _connectedNodes;     public NodeList< > ConnectedNodes     {         get         {    ...Show All

• Visual Studio When is the next release for GAT???

  I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. GAT is keeping me on VS 2005 Beta 2 so I can't move on to the two CTPs that have been released since Beta 2. Beta 2 has a bug which keeps my application from running which is fixed in the CTPs. Well... >>> I *guess* the next GAT... I think it is pretty clear that this is me just guessing.
