• Windows Forms Versioning question

  Hi, Is there a way to set the Product Version to something different than the Assembly Version   For a .NET assembly, when you right click on the dll or exe and examine the version tab of the properties window, the Product Version is always the same as the Assembly Version.  I've only fiddled with the AssemblyInfo.cs file...is there somewhere else this information can be set Thanks in advance! Paula In Visual Studio 2002/2003 there is no way to set the ProductVersion to something other than the AssemblyVersion. However, in Visual Studio 2005, there is the ability to add a native resource file. A ...Show All

• Visual Basic Compare objects

  Which function should I override to compare objects I'm solving the following problem. I'm creating a dictionary object using an object as the key, like ItemDictionary(Of ItemKey, String). The itemKey is a simple object like the following. class ItemKey _id _name ... other definition is not shown here. end class The problem is when I try to use the ItemKey object as a key. The dictionary object will report the specific instance is not in the list. I believe this is caused by the object comparsion method is not properly override. I remember I've read some related article but forgot it. Please advise. Thanks. I've found that ...Show All

• Visual Studio MS Access and VSS 2005

  Hello All,   We are about to setup source control for the first time, and the majority of our development is in MS Access (2002). Will VSS 2005 work with the Access add-in for VSS I would like to give it a try if it's possible. Otherwise, we have to go with the current VSS which isn't so friendly for developers working at remote locations. Thanks, -Tom Hey Jeremy, We have been using VSS 2005 with Access 2002 (XP) for over 9 months now, and, with some caveats & frustrations, it's basically been working very well.

• SQL Server Microsoft sql server geospatial component

  I haven't a clue which section to post this question in, so if it's in the wrong place i appologise. My question is about Microsoft SQL server and Geospatial. I heard rumors about Microsoft added a Geospatial componet to sql server years ago in order to compete with Oracle. I have not hear anything more about this functionality and now our organzation is looking at going to Oracle because of our need for a Geospatial database. Ideally we would like to continue to use Microsoft products but we have not heard of anything that will meet our needs in this area. Is there anything available right now This ...Show All

  Hi. SQL Server 2000 EE was able to do this but just found out that SQL Server 2005 EE does not do this. When I select a database to backup, even if i select a different path to backup to - it says it has successfully backed up and verified the backed up database however I am unable to locate it in that path specified.   I have also ran a Windows Search on the file - it does not pick up anything.   When I go back to SQL Server 2000 EE - the same results occur, I was able to backup databases before installing SQL Server 2005 Is there something I am doing wrong   try check ur service manager for SQL Ser ...Show All

• SQL Server Recordset Destination with Foreach Loop Container - finding indexes

  I'm curious to know how other people are handling the Recordset Destination in to be processed by a Foreach Loop Container. It seems a little odd to me that you can only map the parameters by knowing the index of the columns of the Recordset, however, the order that you built the recordset destination doesnt stay the same. I've been debugging for a while to find out that after I saved my recordset destination the order of the fields changed. To some order without a clear logic. I'm going to guess it might be the lineage id. The bigger problem was this was a really large record set with 60 or so columns. To try and debug the problem of ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Single Machine setup with DC on same machine

  I've been having so many issues with this setup that it's just not funny (Single machine for TFS & DB with the DC on the same machine). I followed the latest setup instructions to the letter to only later find out that they assume that you have the DC on a separate machine. I was constantly getting errors when trying to create projects - "Insufficient permissions on the Windows SharePoint Services at XXXXXXX to create a new site." - I ended up just giving the TFSSERVICE user Administrator access (even thought the install instructions say to give just user access) which got rid of that error message. Now I am getting the "Ex ...Show All
