• Visual Basic tableadapter.insert

  I've been using this handy little function tableadapter.insert, but now I'm trying to figure out why I have to specify the parameters individually, rather than putting them into a nice array or collection. It seems like it should be able to be done. Here's the concept: I have a sequential file that contains data. I can parse this thing into multiple array elements, each containing the data for a field in an access table. Then, even if I had 50 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deploying Extra Files Preserving Folder Structure

• Smart Device Development Problem debugging CE5 app with VS2005 (no activesync)

  Hello all,  After much searching I have been able to get the deploy feature running with my c++ App from Vs2005 to my CE 5 device.  Unfortunately, I am unable to debug.  I get a "Unable to start debugging" error message from Visual Studio and not much else. The exe makes it to the device and I can run the exe from the device.  I just can't debug it.  I still have eVC++4 on my machine so I tried that and I am able to d ...Show All

• Smart Device Development vs2005 compiler is fatally flawed: generates bad code

  In this very simple excerpted code, the compiler fails to do its job.  If you want it recreated, I propose someone there try to recreate it.  I've already got it happening here.  It's as simple as it gets.  From the type of failure, it looks like it's going to happen a lot. r12 is assigned the address of mc.decodePriority only if gDecodeMaxPriority >= 3, yet it, r12, is still used as the store address when it is not &g ...Show All

• SQL Server Forcefully Disconnect All Users and Drop a Database

I've got a single unavoidably long running transaction (~90mins) that I run from a .net component against a SQL Server 2000 database.

• Visual Studio Team System Shelved Code during a Merge

  I've got a scenario to describe, and am interested in feedback. We are using TFS Version Control, and are performing builds from this TFS VC Project; I'll call this the "main" line of source. For major releases, we will create a branch, and do all development on this branch until it is deemed complete. At that time, changes are merged back into the "main" line of source, and a production build is done. It is conceivable th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Does VS2005 has Ouklook bar control in standard control collection?

  I'm evaluating VS2005 for new Windows applications. Thanks for your reply. No VS 2005 is missing quite a few controls that people consider common including task-style windows like Outlook or Explorer, dockable windows (supports docking but not floating), collapsible windows, etc.  Fortunately with the introduction of layout panels it is a lot easier to implement these.  Still your best bet is to either find a free version (ther ...Show All

• Visual Studio Linked Solution. Does this work in 2005

  One of the biggest headaches for us, is creating Applications consisting of many solutions.  The normal recommendation from Microsoft is to put everything in one solution but this is not always ideal. The problem we have is the Debug/Release functionality.  If you build a solution the assemblies are placed in target directories. These are based on the release type. When you reference an assembly which version should be referenced What ...Show All

• SQL Server Open Report Builder and Link to Report Directly?

  Hi, I've created a simple webpart that lists all the reports that a user has created using the Report Builder and next to each line item is an "Edit" link. What I would like to do is open up the Report Builder application and pass a parameter of the report path or something like that so that report builder opens up the report automatically.
