• Visual Basic No editor for ".vb" in VS2005 Beta2

  Hi, I have received the VS2005 Beta2 DVD from Microsoft last week, installed it, and it worked fine for a couple of days. Then I went to the .resx file to edit some resource for the project. I then come back to open the .vb file and there it goes, the editor is replaced by a "Catastrophic Error" page  (not an error dialog box) sayiong something is wrong with the VB editor. I quit the IDE and reopen, then reload the vb project up. Quite unusual it starts up with the .resx file and not the .vb file as usual.

• Visual C# Moving contents of a file

  I have a program that watches a folder and when a file is dropped into that file it executes some code on the file then moves it to another file. The problem I am having is I dont know how to select the new file that was just moved into the folder thats being watched. My question is. How can I select a file (or all the files, since their will only be one at a time) in the folder without knowing the files name, and be able to retrieve the name of the new file Thanks I tried both code examples and I found that when you add more then one file at once to the folder being watched the e.FullPath only executes ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CurrentStateId is always null

  Hi! I have created State Machine Workflow and CurrentStateId is always null. My question is - does CurrentStateId must show the Id of the current state (activity) in the State Machine Workflow or not What I did to query the state is to define a variable called currentState in the IOrderService interface, and define a methods that set/get the currentState (i.e. getCurrentState() and setCurrentState(String s)) Then within each state in the state machine, I add in a InvokeMethod activity which invokes setCurrentState with the currentStateID. The external program that invokes the workflow will also be ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX query designer behaving correctly in Reporting Services?

  I've been working with the MDX query designer in Reporting Services 2005 (RTM Developer Edition) and have come across a behavior that does not seem correct. I can build a report using the wizzard, preview it, deploy it, and all is good with the world. But if I so much as click on the Data tab in the report designer, the report becomes invalid.  Is this by design, or is there some other way to edit a report created with the MDX query designer Regards, Clayton This is apparently a known problem. I posted this to the Reporting Services forum as well and recieved an answer there. Heres the link: http://forums.microsoft.c ...Show All
