• Visual Studio Visio and Visual Studio 2005 (Standard)

  I have Visio 2003 (Professional) on my system and I would like to use it with Visual Studio 2005 for reverse engeneering without having the expense of upgrading my Visual Studio edition. Is this possible If not why not - seems to me one purchases Visio in good faith and then purchases VS2005 in good faith but they do not work together! If this is true it would be like being unable to embed an Excel spreadsheet in a Word document! Hoping someone hears... Thanks, Kurt Sorry, but the fact that you have class designer built in to Visual Studio 2005, while a nice feature is a cop out. I do really like th ...Show All

• Visual Studio vstemplate error

  I have implemented a vstemplate to create a new project type.  When I select the template under my project type I get and error stating that it tried to load an untrusted component and references my vstemplate assembly.  This is the error I get in the application event log: One or more Visual Studio templates do not match any installed project packages. I am signing the assembly with a strong name key file through the project settings and I installed my assembly into the GAC.  I also tried using the strong name in the <assembly> tag under the <wizardextension> tag in the .vstemplate file, but this didn't help ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Media Player-Like Application

  I'm trying to throw together a simple media player application. I would like to set the source (URI) of a media file to play and have controls over playback. The MediaPlayer class obviously does all the heavy work. I would like to have Sliders for Position, SpeedRatio and Balance. I can hook these all up in code, but it appears that none of those properties are Dependency properties and therefore Binding doesn't appear to work. I noticed that SpeedRatio is a Dependency property on Timeline, but if I put the Media Player in a timeline I believe I loose the ability to set the source dynamically. Am I missing something Are we just supposed to m ...Show All

• Visual Basic App Configuration File

  How do you add an app configuration file to a VB.Net project And please keep the default name for the file (app.config) since Visual Studio realizes that this is a "special" file and will do rename/copy to bin folder automatically for you. Best regards, Johan Stenberg ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Convert Icon to MSN emotion

  Hi! Does anyone know how to make a customized MSN emotion, say, covert an icon to an emotion Thanks. I've figured it out, you need a GIF animation file. The GIF file should be a 2 frame with second frame as transparent. If it has no transparent surface MSN will try to re-size while importing. It seems MSN 7.5 cannot re-size the transparent GIFs which lets you use your own sizes. I stick to 64x64 or 50x50 which are both reasonable. Sorry for the late response but I had them for a while. Here are examples ^_^ = -_- = T_T = O_O = Hee = ...Show All

• Visual Studio Attaching process to Windows Service

  I have a windows service that has been built (VS 2005 Beta 2), installed and is running ( I am getting output in the event viewer, and part of it the service is working correctly).  But when I try to debug it using the "Attach to process", the service process is greyed out, and I am not allowed to attach to it.  I am running Windows Xp Pro, SP2, as an admin. Not sure if this is a security or permisson problem so I also have tried adding "Everyone" to the "impersonate a client after authentication" in the user rights assignments in local security settings, but it didn't help. I installed the service using a Setup Project added ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deployment: Security question

  I'm guiltiy of breaking two cardinal rules of programming: 1. Don't develop as Admin role, and, 2. Don't setup DB connections using Admin role. I did both when I recently developed a simple Winforms client/server app using VS2005B2 and MSSQL. Now that I'm deploying the thing, every domain user has to be assigned to the Admin role in order for my Winforms to work. If they aren't, the ADO.Net connections fail complaining about insufficent credentials. What steps are required to correct my mistake and really secure this thing up TIA, Rob Linton ...Show All
