• Windows Forms ClickOnce initial download VERY slow

  Greetings:    I have a clickonce issue I'm wondering if others are seeing or know about. I published a multi-file (like 500 files) application that is about 10MB. When doing the initial install from a URL via IE, it takes 10 minutes or so to download the app. It will sit on like "319K of 10MB" for like 30 secs, then move to "345K of 10MB". You could download a 10MB file on a 28.8 modem faster than this. The kicker is that this is all on localhost! Sometimes (maybe most/always, I usually go away since it takes so long) when it gets about 1/2 to 3/4 way there it speeds up to normal. Is there something going ...Show All

• .NET Development Need help getting started...can't find C# compiler

  Hello, I installed the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Redistributable and Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SDK . I created a "Hello World" C# sample program but there does not seem to be a csc.exe on my PC. Does the compiler not come with the SDK Any ideas what I'm doing wrong Eric The compiler ships with .NET. By default the .NET framework is not included in the system path so you'll need to either change to the appropriate directory or modify your path. You can find the .NET framework under %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ v . v is the version of the framework. In your case it'll be v1. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development phone.dll: MakeCall fails on new qtek (v5 3g wlan keyboard phone)

  Hello. I have a problem on a new device. It is a new QTEK with keyboard. phone.dll - MakeCall("don't ask before calling") places the calling dialog so that the center of it is at a vertical position 2x what it should be, before the dialog hangs. My app is orientation and resolution aware, and the problem is the same no matter what orientation I use. This is a breaking change from emulators and (multiple) earlier phone and pocket pc versions, including Qtek 2020, which I know others have had problems with MakeCall() on . Please help! I discovered this problem too with the iMate JasJar device, I've reported it ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB5: Run-Time Error '380'

  This is very frustrating.  A VB5 program I wrote years ago stopped working and is now giving me this error: Run-time error '380': Invalid property value I cannot figure out what has changed, since I run that program almost daily.   It was working fine, then stopped (without any changes to the program).   I suspect I may have uninstalled something it uses, but cannot figure out what. When I open the VB5 IDE, I get an error saying: 'c:\program files\devstudio\vb\Comct232.ocx' could not be loaded--Continue Loading Project If I say no, it does not load and I cannot see the source code.

• SQL Server Help! Transfer of database from SQL Express to SQL 2005 host environment

  Help! I have been testing my system on my development PC using SQL Express. Great! Now its all working and I have 4.5Mb of data, and about 50 tables plus queries. HOW DO I GET THIS TO MY NEWLY SETUP HOST ENVIRONMENT! Argh... There seems to be no way to export from SQL Express to SQL 2005. The host company cannot restore from backup (I think this is reasonable.)

• Visual C++ number counter issue

  Hello, I am trying to do something simple I hope. Basically I have a counter in a for loop that counts from 1 to 500. for ( int i = 0; i < 500; i++) {   cout << i;  } when this runs, it displays the numbers one after another like so:   123456789101112131415161718192021223 .....and so on. I would like it to display one on top of the next number and not move one position to the right. So basically, if I slow it down, the user could actually see the numbers being counted out, but they will remain in the first position and not move over to the next position each time it is printed out.

• SQL Server Use of Stored Procedures in SQL Reporting Services 2000

• SQL Server Can't seem to build simple cube in SQL 2005

  I have a relatively simple cube, with the exception that some of the tables in my data source view are named queries from different databases. Whenever the cube processes, it fails with the following error: Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbCommand interface was being used: Out-of-process use of OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI.1" with SQL Server is not supported.. When I switch the data source to use the OLEDB for SQL Server instead of the native client, it complains of invalid columns in the query (there are no invalid columns in the query, I can browse the data from the designer ...Show All
