• Visual Studio Team System Problem with Team Build and invalid configuration.

  I get the following error when trying to run a Team Build: "warning MSB4126: The specified solution configuration "Release|Any CPU" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution configuration using the Configuration and Platform properties (e.g. MSBuild.exe Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU") or leave those properties blank to use the default solution configuration." I can build just fine locally.  Any idea on this TIA Glad to hear this. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions Thanks Nagaraju VSTS|TeamBuild http://blogs.msdn.com/nagarajp/ ...Show All

• SQL Server Custom Dataflow Transform in Programmatically Built Package

  I'm building packages programmatically and all is well. I have a new custom transform that I developed. It also works fine. Now I'm trying to add my new component to my packages when I programmatically build them, and I'm unable to do that. Has anyone added their own custom components to a programmatically built package successfully I get a COM error on the line that calls ProvideComponentProperties. I've attempted various modifications including not overriding ProvideComponentProperties or just having it do nothing. I always get the same result. What I don't understand is that the custom transform works and handles ProvideComponentPro ...Show All

• Windows Forms Public Shared Members vs. Global Variables

• Visual Basic How to read in unsigned integers (UShort) from binary files

  Hello, I'm working on a program that was recently (successfully) converted from VB6 to VB2005 Express Edition. I'm trying to read in unsigned short integers (16-b, UShort) from a binary file. I was successful in using the FileGet function to read signed short integers in binary form, but after switching to unsigned I get the error: Error 8: Overload resolution failed because no accessible FileGet can be called without a narrowing conversion. My understanding is that this means that, of the 13 versions of the FileGet Function, the Value read from file can be of data type System.ValueType, System.Array, Boolean, Bytes, Short, Integ ...Show All

• .NET Development A Question on GC

  I have a MDI program in which user can open different document and edit it. After several user use it, they report that it becomes more and more slow. So I watch the memory usage of it carefully and found a problem : it seems the memory is never released after a document is closed. I watch the memory cost in Tesk Manager, and found that whenever a document is opened, the memory cost increases. However, after the document is closed, the memory cost does not drop. When another document is opened, it cost more memory. I later realize that since the document is opened for a while, the objects it allocated have been moved to Generation 2. So ...Show All
