• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Subscribing for events from code

  Hello, I'm after installing Jan CTP. It appears to be no means for generating event handlers from within IDE, or at least I couldn't find them. Normally double click or a button in property bag's header DID that. Anyway - I was trying to type something like: button1.Click += new WhateverEventHandler(...); from within InitializeComponent routine. button1 is null, therefore my code got failed. I found a place (some Connect proc with the switch within, which consequently sets my form's vars to something meaningful) -I'd be curious if it's the only place I can do my stuff from. The question is which place can I safely subscribe for my ...Show All

• SQL Server Pause between pages when printing RS report

  I am using Report Services on SQL Server 2005. I have a report that gets its data from a single SQL Server stored procedure. One other small table is used, but only to provide a list of values for selecting a parameter value to send to the stored procedure. On the report I use a list control to display multiple records per page. When printing the report (which currently produces over 500 pages - future printings of this report will not be nearly so large), the printer pauses between each page as if they are seperate print jobs. This is an HP LaserJet 5Si that normally cranks out reports very fast. The only thing I can think of that might con ...Show All

• .NET Development How long is the Future of .Net Technology ?

  Hello Friends , I m a s/w developer, currently working on .Net technology. i m a bit confused abt the technology to continue working with Java or .Net. also i want to know whether Microsoft is coming with some new technology in near future. There are only three possibilities… 1. There is possibility both .Net and Java Runs. (As both have strong architecture) 2. There is possibility that .Net go ahead than Java. (As .Net is featured with many cutting edge technologies e.g. multiple languages support etc, support features of future platform Avalon) 3. But, there is no possibility that Java go ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How do I specify dependancies (and import to Project)

  Team System has a notion of "Links" to other bugs. However, there is nothing that tells what type of link it is (that I have yet to figure out anyway). How do I specify that a bug depends on another bug More importantly, I want that information to be passed up to Microsoft Project when I import bugs into project. I can create dependancies in MS Project but when I save to Team System those dependancies are lost (in the sense that they are not viewable in Team System). I've started looking at the project mappings file but I see no obvious way to add support for dependancy info to be exported to Project. Am I missing some ...Show All

• Visual C++ Why the size of window changes depending on the size of monitor?

Here you can choose between "Normal", "Large" and "Extra Large". This changes the font and in some cases the size of the default-fonts (for example for buttons) and captions.

• Visual Studio how to inject files into a target?

  Is there a way to inject source files into a target before the build starts in VS2005 I want to do some external processing and perhaps add source files to a target when the project is built. I tried this doing it in BeforeBuild/PreBuild but changes to the target were not read until the next build. Is it accurate to say BeforeBuild/PreBuild are executed earliest in the build NOT before the build. I'm looking for a pre pre-build hook. How exactly are you "injecting" these files I'd have to know more about your situation, to really go into it but I'll give it a shot. It seems like there are some conditions that must be met before you ad ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Subtraction of a decimal less then 1

  I am not sure if anyone else had this problem, if so please help... While writing a simple function that holds the equation: bVariable = 1 - aVariable   (where:  0 < aVariable < 1) Every so often a nasty little bug showed its head. I have used every number decleration (keeping both the same). My problem is that the code works, but the value calculated is wrong! When "aVariable" is equal to 0.94, the value calculated for "bVariable" becomes 0.060000000000000000000001 This calculation error only shows up when "aVariable" has the values: 0.94 or 0.97 It is just like the error in win 3 ...Show All

• SQL Server DB Cluster and Mirroring

  Currently we have implemented SQL 2005 in a clustered environment. I have two questions: 1. Is it possible to mirror a clustered DB 2. If mirroring is implemented, is DB clustering still needed or makes sense Thanks. 1. Yes. Database Mirroring operates at a database level. Failover clustering at an instance level. Database Mirroring doesn't see any difference in a database on a standalone machine vs. a database on a failover clustered instance. 2. This is a bit more open to interpretation. IMO, after deploying thousands of Database Mirroring sessions (over 4000 at a single organization), you do ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using old MFC dll with CString in a VC++ 2005 application

  I have a MFC extension DLL that is compiled with VC++ 6.0 using the Visual Studio 6.0 IDE. I want to use it in a class library created with Visual C++ 2005. I use the .lib and .h files and access the MFC DLL. Every thing is OK until I call a method of a class defined in it that has a CString parameter. Then compilation succeeds but linking fails saying that it can not find that method. If I compile the source code for the MFC dll with the VC++ 2005 compiler, no more error is issued. But when I use the resulted DLL in my other applications that are still compiled with VC++ 6.0 they will get the linker errors. Is there any way that I ca ...Show All
