• Smart Device Development After installing final VS 2005 (MSDN) can't see the designer

  Hello fellow developers, I don't know if someone had the same problem but I hope that someone could help me with this issue. Until yestarday I had installed on my computer the RTM version of Visual Studio 2005 and yestarday I uninstalled everything (using the tool for the pre-rtm uninstall that worked fine and uninstalled absolute everything) and I install the final MSDN version of Visual Studio 2005. So far, so good. BUT when I tryied to create a new project for Compact Framework (both Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5), I can't see my current window in design mode. I mean, I see a gray form on which it's applied a menu shortcut (l ...Show All

• Visual Studio Manual creation of msbuild files hard using Microsoft provided schema

  Hi, msbuild appears to be quite a nice tool and a decent replacement for nant. However, some things are a bit weird and/or hard to do. A few things that bother me at the moment are: it's hard/impossible to delete file(s) using wildcards - the "Delete" task will always blindly interpret the contents of "Files" attribute as exact file name; it appears that this could be solved by using "FindUnderFolder" task, but if that's the way to go it is unnecessary (IMHO) complicated "Files" attribute of "Delete" task is supposed to accept an array of Strings, but I am unable to make this work - only one file name is accepted and interpreted corr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Shipping Beta 2

  There's been a rash of speculation  as of late that Beta 2 has "slipped" to April [ Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 delayed ]. As you can read in this post from the Developer Division Release Team [ In the Home Stretch... ], we still plan to ship Beta 2 by the end of March. That has been the plan-of-record for months. Because it takes time to move from shipped bits to downloadable bits , Beta 2 will probably be available for download during the first week or so of April. The Beta Experience is a campaign being run by the local Microsoft subsidiaries in EMEA. Expect to see Beta 2 released on MSDN and available for o ...Show All

• SQL Server Debugging in SSIS - Immediate and Command windows

  Hi everyone, I am having a difficult time debugging a package that I'm working on. I read in BOL that the immediate window should be an option during debugging but I can't find it anywhere(nor can I enable it), and I was planning on using it to access an oledb source property that is using an expression. Is the command window the same as immediate I didn't orignally think so but I'm not sure. What is the syntax to use for this once I find it Thanks, Adrian You can't access runtime values of an oledb source property but you can see what data going downstream using visualizers.
