• Software Development for Windows Vista VISTA re-install

  Hi all, I installed Vista on a new PC.  Now I want to re-install Vista and it tells me that the partion I want to use does not have enough space.  But I want to completely re-install.  How do I do this Thanks for your help. Linley For some strange and bizarre reason, unknown to me, Vista requires at least 8GB of a partition to be free to install. As I was doing my install on a test box with a 10GB Drive, I also found this problem. The only option I had was to boot the vista Install from CD, and format the drive. I was then able to install vista. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Error Publishing Test Result

  Hello, I have Team Build installed and the builds are working fine.  However, when ever we try to publish a test result to the build we always get the following error: Status: Failed Error Message: Publish operation failed. What does that mean   How can I fix it   I can't seem to locate any logs or items in the event log. Thanks, Cindy The root cause of the failure you were seeing is the fact that the build service and application tier accounts are different. This is a known issue that will be fixed for RTM. The failure occurs when we try to set the permissions on the test results directo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Referencing a Form's method from an assembly in the same Namespace

  I'm trying to call a method declared in my main form from an assembly that is in the same Namespace, but I can't get it even to compile. There are some limitations that I would like to comply with: - The method in the form can't be Static because I need it to access a control in the form. - I shouldn't create a new instance of my main form in the assembly because I need the method to be called to access the current values of some fields in the form. - I don't like the idea of declaring a field of type Form_Main in the assembly and then make it to reference the main form at runtime. It got to be a cleaner way. I'm looking for s ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Security options reduced when hosted in IIS?

  When self-hosted, one can use ServiceSecuritySettings.SetUserNameAuthentication to specify a custom MembershipProvider or even custom UserNamePasswordTokenAuthenticator for validating users. Similarly, when self-hosted, one can use ServiceSecuritySettings.ThreadPrincipalMode with GenericThreadPrincipalMode to specify a custom RoleProvider or supply a custom ThreadPrincipalMode class. When hosted in IIS, however, these options don’t seem to be available. SecurityServiceSection, which is a nested BehaviorSection, doesn’t seem to have any code in it for specifying a custom UserNameTokenAuthenticator or even a MembershipProvider.

• Visual Studio Can't debug ASP in VS2005

  VS2005 doesn't seem to support debugging ASP pages. Is this really so That's a serious problem if it is. Thanks Jeremy What sort of problems are you seeing I can't seem to get it to work either. I get messages saying that the server (I'm developing on the server) is not configured to support debugging, with a suggestion to see some non-existent topics on configuring ASP.NET and ATL debugging in the documentation, and messages saying that the "current trust level does not support the 'debug' attribute." I've played a little bit with the groups and permissions based on what I could find, placing the ASPNET user ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple Log Files

  Using an expression to set the log filename to include the date and time results in 3 log files being created. Ummm. Why I only ran the package once. Is SSIS not sharing my log file connection among the different components On first thought my workaround would involve using a script task to "set" the log file name to a variable and use an expression to set the log connection to the variable. But the problem with that is that logging starts BEFORE the script task is run... Hi, It would be great if you can give more details about your package. Are you creating the log file in the 'OnPostExe ...Show All

• Visual C++ Converting System::String to Int32 and back again in hex in C++

  OK, I have a simple question: I have a window where a user can enter a hex value, like 10BF00D1. Another one where the user can enter a pure binary number like 1000011101101001. I want to grab the String and put the data into an integer, manipulate it and turn the result back into a String. How do I do this with the managed System::String class in Visual C++ 2005 It was easy to do back in the "C" world, why is it so hard to find the new way Thanks, Dale Hi, To do the conversion you should use Convert::ToInt32. By the way, if your are going to do a lot of .NET programming Managed C+ ...Show All

• Visual C++ MFC 8.0 problem: afxcomctl32.h structure alignment is 8 bytes (in MFC80.DLL)

  Summary: In the release versions of MFC80.DLL the structure alignment when building afxcomctl32.h is 8 bytes.  This is different from any other structure in MFC 8.0 (things normally use 4 byte alignment).  I was having a crash with the CComCtlWrapper class when calling some of the CImageList functions (e.g. GetImageCount)   I finally isolated the problem to alignment issues.  Did you know that certain parts of MFC 8.0 are now alignment sensitive   I was building my MFC app with 2 byte alignment, and the MFC80.DLL is built with 8 byte alignment. In previous versions of MFC, it was not required to use #pra ...Show All
