• Visual C# How do you add controls to a form during runtime?

  Now I know all about Controls.Add, but I'm having problems adding a control that's supposed to dock as fill. My form looks like this: Nav Bar docked on the left, Splitter docked on the left, and then I want to add my custom control as fill, so that it would be located to the right of the nav bar, as expected. So I try this: mainPanel = new WelcomeControl(); mainPanel.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill; Controls.Add(mainPanel); And I do this inside my form's constructor, after InitializeComponent(). Now, my mainPanel control does appear, but it doesn't fill properly. It fills "under" the navigation bar and the sp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to resolve: Assemblies Should Declare Minimum Security

  If i want to declare minimum security, I wrote the following just above the namespace declaration [assembly: SecurityPermission(    SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Execution = true)] [assembly: PermissionSet(    SecurityAction.RequestOptional, Name = "Nothing")] Still I am not able to solve this. That looks right and this does not repro for me here with a simple test case. Are you using the latest version of FxCop Try compiling and analyzing the following sample. You should not see the 'assemblies should declare minimum security' rule. using System; using System.Security; using Syste ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLExpress database fails under SQL SERVER 2005

  Q1: When I try to move a database (.mdf and .ldf file), developed with SQLEXPRESS on Win/XP to my SBS2003 server running with SQL SERVER 2005, I cannot attach the database on the server. Backup/Restore fails as well. "Could not find row in in sysindexes for database ID=12...." Could not open new database 'Test'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted (error 602). I tried to copy an ad hoc db with only one table from the client to the server, same error. Similar procedure withs MSDE and SQL 2000 worked flawlessly. It seems there is something wrong with my SQLEXPRESS setup. Anybody who can advice Q2. on the client with SQL EXPRESS ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 Ready?

  I need a gameplan from Microsoft regarding the tools provided with SQL 2005.  I have customers wanting to switch (mainly for 64-bit, but other reasons), but my first attempt at upgrading to 2005 I uncovered serious bugs in SQL Management objects, SQL Management Studio, Script Generation and more.  I can't even believe some of this stuff was even tested.  The engine appears solid, but buggy tools and the inability to use tools from SQL 2000 that work make it hard for me to recommend such upgrades.  Are there any hotfixes for these issues yet   What is the timeframe for a service pack to address these items ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Single Server Deployment

  Hi, Is single server deployment gone forever Dean Ahh - the Proxy...  Certainly a good reason to consider looking into the July CTP.  If it's really important to you and you only have one box, the Virtual PC/Virtual Server technology is probably the way to go. If you can afford to wait, I am encouraged by Michael's reply.  Since single server will be supported again, the question is when and can you afford to wait that long.  If you're actively using Beta 2 I think you should hold off.  Any migration between VSTS pre-release versions could be painful.  If you're just playing wi ...Show All
