• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to separate fixedpages along with its resources from XPS document?

  Hi, I have a question to ask. How to extract a single fixedpages from the XPS document along with its resources, and insert this page into another XPS document This problem may be a little harder when take consider of printTicket, thumbnail, signature... Thanks! The question is tricky as you've pointed out because of all the additional resources. Taking this from a non API perspective, you would need to copy several parts into the new document: 1) Copy the fixedpage xaml file 2) Copy all of the resources listed in the .rels file for the fixedpage file. 3) When adding to the new file, make ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Excel VBA ADODB to VB 2005 Using System DSN Access Database

  This is probably basic 101 for you guys as I have searched the forums and have found no questions RE: Above. Basically I started using VBA with Excel and I would like to convert a solution to VB 2005. I'm Stuck big time with retreiving information from my existing Access Database.

• Visual Studio Team System Project deletion in TFS Source Control

  I have created a (C#) web service project and stored it in an appropriate team project using TFS Source control. However things went awry during check in and I was left with some items checked in and some not. To cut a long story short, I deleted the web service project from source control, checked in the deletion and started over. Now I get errors complaining that 2 of the files in my project can't be checked in because they already exist. They clearly do not (or at least I can't see them). So, my question is what happens when you check in a deletion Does the item get deleted or just marked as deleted If the latter, is there a way of gettin ...Show All

• Visual C# In my project, I want to build any other .sln

  can I do this Sorry.. didn't understand the first time. I guess you could do that, parse the sln file and its projects (xml files)and call the appropriate commands to compile the files. It's better you wait for an accurate answer since i'm not entirely sure that you can do that, although I don't see any problem doing that... ...Show All

• Visual C# Must always do a reubuild and cannot debug!

  All, Forgive me if this is documented or been discussed elsewhere, but I am at my wits end. I am new to Visual Studio 2005 (Standard) and have been successfully writing unit test with NUnit and the TestDriven.Net addin. Suddenly I cannot run any new test cases, tests or modify an existing test without having to do a complete rebuild. Just doing build by right-clicking "Build" in the pop-up context menu does not appear to change the dlls or exes. In addition, I cannot debug my tests. I select "Test with...Debugger" and the debugger comes back saying the TestFramework.exe is optimised. How ...Show All

• SQL Server Index on bit fields in SQL Server Management Studio

  I noticed that I can put a bit field in an index in a SQL Server 2000 database, while using the SQL Server Management Studio (shipped with SQL Server 2005). In SQL Enterprise Manager this wasn't possible. Does SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and doesn't Enterprise Manager support it, or doesn't SQL Server 2000 support indexes on bit fields and is it a 'bug' of the SQL Server Management Studio Thanks. My experience tells me that this is not true. When the SQL Server only has to access an index instead of the real table, this can increase performance. In the past we've converted Bit fields to Ti ...Show All

• Windows Forms SuspendLayout and Layout Event on a UserControl

  Hi! Is there any way to force Layout event to be fired Here is what I have in mind: I have a UserControl which has a number of custom properties. Each time the value of a property changes this has impact on some controls added on the custom control. To improve peformance I want these modifications to be suspended when SuspendLayout was executed for the control. So I thought that the proper thing to do is to add the code that applies property modifications in the Layout event. What is left to do is force this event every time a property changes and let the framework decide whether to fire the Layout event or wait since SuspendLayout ...Show All

• Visual C# Serilization of a generic List of a custom type, how?

  Well, hi all. This is my first post here, since I haven't been able to find the required information anywhere else, so I will give it a go here... I am trying to make a generic list of a custom type and serializing it. Sounds simple but apparently its not. I have now boiled the problem down to a very simple example, and tried to get consistency in the problem. The problem occur every time the assembly holding the custom type is rebuild. Naturally, I can make a list of some .NET type and it works, and I think thats because the .NET assemblies are not rebuild in between. Is it a feature in .NET that it is not possible to do generic list ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Why I can't delete a folder in Source Control Explorer?

  I create two folders under the root of a project in Source Control Explorer, but later find that one of them could be deleted but another could not(the "Delete" command in context menu is grayed). Why Thanks! BTW, in the latest builds we've changed the SCE display so that it's a little easier to distinguish between items that are greyed out because they're deleted vs. because they've never been retrieved vs. because they're cloaked. ...Show All

• SQL Server Fresh RS Install - weird bug

  Hi all, My RS install is having a strange issue.  I've installed RS on an IIS Server and pointed to a remote server database.  The IIS server is secured using an internally issued SSL cert. After some tweaking, I've been able to get RS to work (almost) properly.  I'm able to deploy reports from Visual Studio and view them through the RS Web App.  Of course, I have admin rights on this box. My problem is this:  The web app won't let me add a New Role Assignment for my users.  The only Role Assignment is BUILTIN\Administrators .  I need to add a " Browser Only " role for the users.  When I clic ...Show All
