• Visual Studio Express Editions Printing in VB 2005 Express

  I am trying to print a text document that I am generating in a program to develop math workbooks. I have tried everything that I can find on printing but have not been able to get it to work. I tried writing the text to a disk file but the file is always empty when I look at it with the program running. I know that the program is working properly because I put the generated problems into a displayed text box before trying to print them. Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks. By the way, this is the first time that I've tried printing from Visual Basic. I could do it from standard Basic. Do a search o ...Show All

• Visual C++ Getting started with a plain c++ program!!

  How do I just open and compile normal c program, without it being a "win32 console application" or any other fancy-shmancy stuff The simplest way through the IDE is to use an empty console application. You just need to choose "Console Application" and then click next. You will have different types of Console Applications, choose the empty one. This way you are free to add what ever simple code you want. Another option is to use the command line compilation tools if you are experienced how the compiler binaries work.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Coexistence of VC++Express2005 beta-2 & VS.Net Team Suite 2005 Beta 2

  Can these two IDEs, their MSDN and everything else that come with a full installation of each one of them coexist on the same computer (Win 2K+SP4): Thanks, David David - Yes.  If you have any problem with this, please let us know at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback , as it would certainly be a bug.  That said, as David Kean points out, there shouldn't be any partiuclar need to have both installed, as Visual Studio Team System contains everything that C++ Express contains, plus a *lot* more.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office binding in Word documents

  Hi guys, As you probably saw I am having difficulties display bookmark controls that are directly binded to some binding source. I get a strange message, the reason of which I still look for an answer. So after reviewing once again the excellent webcast - Data Binding Relational Data in Visual Studio 2005 Tools for the Microsoft Office System from Janet Robinson - it occurred to me that nowhere in this webcast was shown how to directly bind table in Word document. Janet used XML nodes instead. She used one additional step to extract the XML from the dataset and load it in the XML root node of the Word document. However, in my opinion, we ar ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Image.Save, not supported?

  Hi all Can someone confirm if save the method in the image class is not supported in the compact framework V2.0. If I call it I get a notsupportedexception which would say its not, I have tried to check in reflector but that does not show any source code for V2.0 assemblies for some reason. Thanks in advance. Dan Hi Dan, The save method for jpeg, gif and png formats are supported in the image class for Windows Mobile 5.0 and WinCE 5.0 only. On PPC 2003, the save method supports only the bmp format. This is a limitation due to the OS. Cheers, Anthony ...Show All

• SQL Server Error trying to use Quick Find

  I am getting the error " ...No such interface supported." when trying to use Quick Find to search for a database object. This was working fine previously and a great feature of 2005 (even worth the extra memory overhead of running Management Studio :-). Another quirk that sometimes happens is the Quick Find dialog opens but nothing lists for the Look in: dropdown and I cannot activate the find feature. Any ideas greatly appreciated, Tom ...Show All

• .NET Development Compressing multiple files in .Net (like Zip files in Java)?

  Coming from Java (and yes .Net is better :-)) I am used to an api that makes it really easy to generate a zip file consisting of multiple files. I have tried to look for something similar in .Net but I havent been able to find anything. I assume that CAB files are a .Net preference which is OK since the format used is of minor importance. Can you point me in the right direction Thanks in advance /Soren Hi Daniel, I dont think that J# is the suitable for us, but thanks for the tip. ...Show All
