• Visual Studio Global Assembly Cache Problems.

  Hi There, I have a single report application that I am attempting to publish.  When I install the application on my machine it works fine, but when I attempt to install on any other I am told that the installation requires:- CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Version 10.2.3.600.0 installed in the Global Assebly Cache (GAC) first.

• Visual C++ Problem with Application Configuration and Manifest in VS2005

  Hi All, I have the same problem as follows; Using MS Visual Studio 2005 C++ I have an application originally built in VS 2005 C++ beta 1 (was running well). I've installed the beta 2 version.

• Visual Studio Question concerning "can grow"

  I am sure that there is an easy answer to this question, but I have not been able to find it. When I format an object choosing "can grow", how do I make the object under move down so that the growing object doesn't grow into it. The object that can grow will most of the time be quite short, but a few times be pretty long. It will look silly on the report when the "can grow" object has its normal size, if I really have to move the object beneath it so far down that such a "collision" can never happen. Apparently, if I have understood it correctly, the only way to avoid this problem, is to let the "can grow" object be the last ...Show All

• Windows Forms Displaying Int values as Hex in datagridview

  Hi all, desperation has forced me to my first post! I am writing a network analyzer and need the option to display my int variables as Hex values for a number of databound datagridviews, (a la) debugger. I can ToString("X") but it would mean having a string equivalent for all my ints! As I am binding to bindinglist of a managed class.(bindinglist<class^>) C++ Started using .Net only 4 months ago so am hoping that my lack of knowledge is the problem to finding an easy solution. While I am asking, how can I force zero filling on conversion to Hex, should ToString("4X") give me 4 Hex Digits. It would ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Databinding to a service method...

  Using what seems to be the preferred approach for accessing WinFX services, is data-binding possible There are two approaches, I understand, for handling references to a WinFX service. In the first, you use the "scvutil" application to auto-generate proxy classes. These classes wrap all necessary logic to call a service. There is no direct reference to the service project in your consuming application, and you can generate these proxies even if you have no access to the service's code. The alternative, if you're developing the service yourself, is to define the service contract in an interface library, and reference the li ...Show All

• .NET Development Network Stream Read

  I am using the networkstream to read a message sent. When ever I get messages back-to-back in a short period of time, the stream still does not separate the messages, which is causing me errors when I try to parse the messages and save information into a data base. I know this is probably a logic problem, but I am not fimilar enough with network steams to figure out what I can do to have the network stream just send on message at time to be processed Hello David. The nature of TCP means that you can get messages bunched up messages can be split. So sample packets Packet 1: Message1\r\nMessage2\r\n Packet 2 ...Show All

  I accidently installed SQL 2000 Enterprise Edition instead of the Standard Edition. If I uninstall Enterpise and then install Standard, can I restore the system databases, ie master, model, msdb Are they compatible If the databases are empty - if you didn't create any metadata - you should be fine. If you did create metadata that uses Enterprise features, I don't know what will happen but probably the reattach will fail. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office What versions of Office 12 will support VSTO?

  As I understand things, VSTO is currently only supported by Office 2003 Professional (or the Word/Excel standalone editions). Office 2003 Standard and Small Biz editions do not support VSTO. Does anyone know if this will still be the case with Office 12 Or will all Office 12 editions support VSTO I ask b/c we are a small ISV that would love to do component based development using VSTO, but are afraid we will alienate a large percentage of our potential user base if VSTO continues to be unsupported on non-Professional versions of Office.

• Windows Forms Creating controls at design time: Error: 'child' is not a child control of this parent

  Hello all together, I am just having a little problem with my custom control and its control designer. My task: Writing a control (derived from TableLayoutPanel) which has the following behaviour: Other developers could select it in the Toolbox of VS.NET and drag it to the form. Afterwards they can drag other controls (TextBoxes, ListBoxes, etc.) from the Toolbox and drop them into my control. At this time, a control designer should ask the developer to enter a name for a Label, which belongs to the control dropped by the developer. Now, the Designer forces my control to redraw itself. Redrawing: The Control should create a specified amou ...Show All
