• Windows Forms Sound Corruption using SoundPlayer Control

  I am experiencing sound corruption when using the SoundPlayer control with loading WAV files as embedded resources. This is when using the SoundPlayer control as it was intended: As a simple means to provide short sounds as "Feedback" in a business application (identical to the manner in which Office applications do it when "Enable Feedback with Sounds" is enabled). What is happening is the sound will play, and then occasionally will play loud, ...Show All

• SQL Server Lookup Tables And Joins

  In a table I'm storing as integers recCreatedBy and recModifiedBy values; I have a lookup table I'm doing an INNER JOIN with to pull a string value for an Alias 'CreatedBy'.  I'm trying to Alias a 'ModifiedBy' from the same lookup table in the query.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• Windows Forms ClickOnce:Big Delay In Installing App

  Our ClickOnce applications are deployed from behind a corporate firewall, and the clients that use the app are also behind the same firewall. Therefore there is no problem at all getting the client to the correct manifest link. The problem lies in the fact that when the process begins, the "Verifying Application Requirements" box pops up for a very brief time, and then absolutely nothing appears to be going on. Then, maybe 30 second ...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 ...Show All

• SQL Server Change in legend of chart based on values??

  I am developing a chart with type as column and subtype as stacked. The values (different columns from my dataset) are shown as series in the chart. If I have an entire column with no values, nothing in shown in the graph but the column name comes in the legend. I do not want to show the particular column in legend if all the values in that column are 0 or null. Is it possible through an expression or any other way Please let me know. Th ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSS 2005 Price

  How much will VSS 2005 cost independently We can not afford to buy a MSDN license or anything like that and want the new features. We already have VSS 6.0 which we had to purchase independently also from VS.NET 2003. Along the same lines, there seems to be no real Visual SourceSafe 2005 presence on msdn.microsoft.com.  The only thing I can find is under "Previous Versions"! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't install in Vista Build 5384 (Beta 2) 64-bit

  I just installed Vista beta 2 on my AMD 64-bit x2 machine. Vista appears to be running find, but I'm not able to install Visual Studio 2005 Developer Edition for some reason. When I run the setup program and select the first option (install VS2005), it copies about 66 files to my hard drive and then ends. There's no error or anything. I think at this point it should be trying to run something that it copied to the hard drive from the VS2005 DVD, ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Rehosting statemachine / freeform designer

  Hello, I've seen HOL #10 that demonstrates how to rehost the sequential workflow designer in an application other than Visual Studio. I'd be interested in rehosting the state sachine or free form designer outside of Visual Studio. I expect that most of the work would be the same as for the sequential workflow. However, starting with Beta 2, the layout of the state machine / freeform designer is stored in .layout files. I would be interested i ...Show All

• Windows Forms Why does Control.DoDragDrop() eat exceptions?

  The Control.DoDragDrop() method apparently handles all exceptions thrown while doing the drag & drop operation. I assume this is to gaurd against dumb drop targets which might choke on the data passed to them. However, this seems like a bad idea, and even goes against Microsoft's own exception handling guidelines. I really need to catch an exception thrown during drag&drop for our application's error recovery system. Is there a way to ...Show All

There also does not seem to be an automatic way of creating the necessary *.xmta file outside of VS2005.
