• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Compact Framework Support?

  We currently use .NET Remoting for our inhouse line-of-business applications. The main problem with .NET Remoting is that is not supported in the compact framework (which is really a compact framework problem not a remoting problem, remoting rocks!). This keeps us from developing applications that integrate with these systems. Will Indigo/WCF be supported from the compact framework Hi Jon, we don't currently have WCF for CF, but you can wr ...Show All

• Visual C# Where do I declare variable which can be accessed by the whole project?

  Hi, I have couple of forms and couple of classes in my Project. Where do I need to declare variable for my project so any part of application can access that variable I used to do in modules in VB6 but have no idea how to do it in c# It is not a matter of where you’d need to declare the variable but instead how you declare it. Anywhere in your app if you define a public field, property, method as ...Show All

• Visual C++ porting vc++ 6.0 user exit to vc++ express edition

  Hi, I want to compile a user exit that was developed using vc++ 6.0 with vc++ express edition. The compile works fine, but the application crashes. My 'trial and error' experiments with linker options, especially with manifest files, resulted in much confusion... The app itself is written (not by me) using vc++ 6.0. The user exit (written by me) is a simple win32-dll where some math is done (no MFC at all, simple standard c++ code). The er ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express and ASP

  Hi! I have an ASP web application based on Access. I have DSN defined in ODBC Admin. I decided to upgrade to SQL Server 2005 probably Workgroup edition. Right now I am trying it with Express. I thought it will be fairly easy, because I was going to define another DSN using SQL Native Client and use it without changes to my ASP code. Not so easy. I can configure DSN and it tests fine in ODBC Manager. In ASP I am getting errors like Microsof ...Show All

• Visual Basic Checking for a previous instance

  To check for a previous instance of your apllication (App.PrevInstance in VB6) the help file for '05 suggests you check the "Make Single Instance Application" box in the project's properties and then add an event handler for "Me.StartupNextInstance."   This is great if you're using the application framework and starting the project with a form (I don't think a "Sub Main" has a 'me' object does it ).  Anyway, I'm not using the app ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project Creation Wizard Extensibility

  When creating a Project Creation Wizard, is it possible to have it store a string value within the project For example the PcwTEExample from the SDK has an PCW that asks the user to enter a couple of web addresses. these addresse are saved to an external xml file it would seem. Would it be possible to store these inside the project, so that the value wasn't machine dependant Code examples would be much appreciated. This sounds very m ...Show All
