• Visual Studio How to speed up help integration into Visual Studio help collection using merged modules?

  Hello everyone,   I am developing an installation of a .NET component for Visual Studio 2003/2005. I have created a HxS documentation for the component and included the necessary merged modules to my installation. Everything is working fine and help is integrated into the Visual Studio environment. But the installation takes very long time. I think the problem is that the Index and TOC files of the Visual Studio help collection and my help collection are merged during the installation. But I would prefer the Index and TOC files to be merged after the installation, when the Visual Studio help collection is first accessed. What c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Space in rule URL causes link problem in FxCop problem properties panel

  In my custom rule configuration I have spaces in the URL: < Url > http://somewhere.net/space%20program/super%20rules/ </ Url > When this rule is triggered, the problem properties pane shows the link as this: http://somewhere.net/space program/super rules/ And the link does not work because it tries to go to the URL upto the first space. Is there a workaround to make the URL work Thanks. - alex This is just a bug we need to fix, sorry for the inconvenience. There's no workaround, currently. We'll try to get this into 1.35, though. ...Show All

• .NET Development more socket questions

  i am working on a server application that acts as a proxy between multiple clients and another server.  the destination server has 1 to many ports open on which is listens for "transactions" from my proxy server.  the way i had envisioned the proxy server working is to check to see if a port is free on the destination server and execute the transaction (send, and wait for response).  if the port is "busy", check the next port.  if its available, execute the transaction. if not, check the next port... i'm running into a problem where: 1) if i don't bind the port and simply connect, then the proxy server thinks all of the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Bug with datetime picker?

  I create report that uses stored procedure with 2 parameters. 1st parameter is datetime, 2nd is string. In preview mode I see datetime picker for 1st parameter. I pick September 1, 2005. I use Russian regional settings and date is displayed as dd.mm.yyyy (01.09.2005). It is OK. But after I click "View Report" date is changed to 09.01.2005 (January 9, 2005) and I get empty report because I have not data on this date.

• SQL Server SSIS Development Suggestions

  I could use some help from those of you who have SSIS deployed in a production environment. The developer creates a SSIS package on a workstation with BIDS. Package accesses a network drive and a SQL database on a development server. The developer can test the SSIS package successfully in BIDS. The only way to use the ServerStorage protect level is that the developer needs to save the SSIS package directly to the development server (we are storing the package in SQL Server). This is not a problem, but it possesses a problem when we need to migrate the SSIS package to the production server. This is because in development our database ...Show All

• .NET Development Aborting a shutdown using a Windows Service

  Hi, I'm trying to write a Windows Service that is capable of detecting when the PC is being shut down, and then cancelling the shutdown. I've managed to get this to work fine in a windows application, using SystemEvents.SessionEnding to detect the shutdown, and then using the "cancel" property to cancel it, but for whatever reason I can't get this to work in my service. I hook it up in the usual way (AddHandler SystemEvents.SessionEnding, AddressOf MySubName), but the code I put in the associated subroutine never gets run. I can only assume I'm setting the event handler up wrong for a service, or adding it in the wrong pla ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form partial class

  Hello, I have a form named MainForm. I see that the class is defined as a partial class, and the designer class is also a partial class designation. Can I define a couple more MainForm partial classes and put some of the control event handlers in that class, to kind of break up the form a bit Thanks. I think designer see only controls from it's Form1.Designer.cs file, they must be added to internal components collection (check InitializeComponent for details). Or you mean that designer do not see methods in this new partial class Then this is bug. Welcome to Community/Feedback menu item! ...Show All

  Hi, In my windows form I have a tab control with a few tab pages. Each tab page has some user controls and some .net controls such as datagrid, labels e.t.c When I resize the windows forms the controls dont change their size and position.

• SQL Server Using a hyperlink in sql server reporting services

  I have added a table on to the body of my sql server report.In one of the columns of the table I have dragged a field which is the output of a stored procedure.
