• Visual C++ Redistribution of C runtime libraries without MSI installation

  Hi guys, I'm trying to get an installer of our product working.  I've finally gotten it compiling and running under VS2005.  For various technical and political reasons, I have to use NSIS as our installation technique. This is where the problem begins.  I can't quite see how to redistribute the relevant CRT libraries.  I've been round and round in circles following the MSDN information, and various blog postings (e.g. http://blogs.msdn.com/martynl/archive/2005/10/13/480880.aspx ) but I've not been able to see how I can redistribute the CRT in this way. Obviously, merge modules aren't an option for me.  I've tried pl ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions a few questions...TextBox and changing an Image

  Actually one more question to that list. I just ran the application and got an error. I'm working with a node list and it says my node list variable doesn't have a value. I'll show a section of the code, and let me know if you need to see more. I realize now by looking at it that I declared the variable, but never set it. How do you set a node list variable Dim xmlCCNodes As System.Xml.XmlNodeList Dim xmlCCNode As System.Xml.XmlNode For Each xmlCCNode In xmlCCNodes........

• Visual Studio Which SQL to install with VSTS Beta 2

  I've worked with VS 2005 before, but always with SQL server 2000.  I'm going to start over with a fresh install of the latest VSTS Beta 2 and was wondering which SQL 2005 I should install with it and which I should install first. I would like to create and debug stored procedures on the SQL server from within the VS IDE. Thanks for any advice. Hi, if you have windows installer 3.0 then sql server 2005 will be able to get installed first. if not you will get a error message about the same. The setup files for Windows Installer 3.0 is found on the team system suite DVD. Run vs.net 2005 first and you will be able to get sql serv ...Show All

• Visual Basic user control problem

  Hi I recently built my first user control, a few weeks ago, and all of a sudden today I started having the following problem... When i make changes to the user control, and hit F5 on my test project, the changes are not appearing (it's as if an old version of my code keeps running). If i publish and run the executable, the changes are there, but if i go back to the designer, my F5 still seems to be latched onto an old control. I wasn't having a problem until today. I have no idea why this stopped working all of a sudden. The only strange thing I really did today was delete a setup1 project that was in my solution. I hope someone ...Show All
