• Visual C++ Saying Goodbye to an Old Friend

  I recently read this article regarding security changes to the C/C++ ANSI standard in order to improve overall behaviour and programming issues when dealing with memory overruns and potential malicious use of the Runtime library functions. [EDIT] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dncode/html/secure03102004.asp Anyway, it was only until after starting to use the Microsoft C++ 2005 Express Beta 2 system that these changes had already been implemented in the runtime library.  This of course supprised me, as I had to make changes to my existing code in order to get the source to compile.  I rea ...Show All

• Visual C# Login Control problem

  Hey guys, I have a VS2005 website project on my dev machine. It compiles and runs perfectly.

Anyone know what the problem could be Can you provide more info on this, may be some tracing/event logging would help in here to diagnose further. -Jay ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System A premature request on the roadmap

  I realize this is a premature request considering the RTM bits for Version 1.0 are not yet out. I see references to such things as support for multiple resources in Version 2. I am wondering if there exists a publicly available roadmap for planned releases, service packs etc and what major feature sets may be involved in those and their timelines. I realize this is a lot to ask and the answers would be nebulous at best. The information would be very valuable in deciding when and where to make custom mods to the work items and process for immediate support of a given desired outcome versus when to work around it with fewer customization ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Borland CRM

  Does VSTS come with Borland CRM or is it an additional cost - did Borland ever get around to releasing it too Also if it's an additional cost how much Can you do requirements management in VSTS without it thanks for your feedback, these are why they have been released as starter-kits for simple integration, and will not be touted as requirment management solutions. The largest integrators into VSTS for RM/RG are Borland and Serena and have fantastic existing solutions which now extend VSTS into BA space. We also have been in dicussion with many others as well, and expect further partnerships shortly. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Newbie who's lost on ReportViewer? *confused*

  I'm new to VS 2005 and the reporting tools in general. I've tried implementing the steps in the various tutorials (like the ones on gotreportviewer.com) but the more things I try to more confused I get. I don't *think* that what I'm trying to do is difficult but I can't get it to work for the life of me. I have a Stored Procedure that does 4 things. It creates a temp table, it queries several different tables and then inserts those records into the temp table, then selects all from the temp table (now sorted), and finally deletes the temp table. I get that dataset returned to me and I write it to an .xml file (I'm not sure if I do this but o ...Show All

• .NET Development Framework Breaks when you install SQL Server 2005

  My machine has had several iterations of SQL Server -- the June CTP, the September CTP and now the RTM.  However, I now find that apps that use .NET Framework 1.1 fail.  The error is: "Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.StrongNameIdentityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed." I've tried repairing .NET 1.1 using the procedure in KB article 830646, but that didn't solve the problem. Anybody have any ideas on how to proceed   (The apps that fail include the MOM administator console, and the Idera Sql Web Console). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions ToDouble compiler error

  trying to learn visual c++ and can't seem to get this working. I have a friend that managed to get this working on his computer with visual studio 2003 pro I think was the version.

• SQL Server Prevent reports from running at certain times?

  Hi there. I'm just starting to look at Reporting Services. Does anyone know if it's possible to prevent on-demand reports from executing a certain times For example, if I'm replicating data hourly to a database and I don't want the report to be run for 2 minutes while the database is replicating, but allow it to be run at any other time Thanks Sam Sam, there's no easy way to do this -- certainly not "out of the box", anyway. Here are a some hacks (some uglier than others) that might help: Use the SSRS SOAP endpoint (web service) to temporarily "hide" the report (a user could still run it, but they'd ...Show All

  Hello The scenario is as following: There are two computers talking to each other through socket over a 1Gbps network[low network traffic], the requirement is that the server sends a data packet of barely 500bytes[average--- the packet size is variable-- excluding tcp header and acks.], every 10ms.

• Windows Forms How do I get a Winforms application embedded in an html page to bind to 1.1 Framework

  I have a winforms application that is embedded in an html page with an object tag [1].   Our application works correctly under 1.1, but not 2.0 (we get some interesting security exceptions around statics, so I would like to force it to run on the 1.1 Framework. I added the requiredRuntime element to the startup section of the webclient.dll.config file [2] and expected that it would be started against 1.1 Framework.   However it still gets launched with the 2.0 framework. Other details: 1) The IIS logs show the webclient.dll.config being downloaded. 2) We have a pair of applications launched over the web (via an href[3]) – wit ...Show All
