• Smart Device Development VS 2005 seems to require a focus on a form

  When developing my vb program in vs 2003, I was apparently not required to focus on anything on a form if I didn't want to. So on a form with nothing but a few buttons used for the purpose of calling other forms, I could use this code to press ESC and close the form: Private Sub LocMenu_KeyDown( ByVal sender As Object , _ ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles MyBase .KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then Me .Close() End If End Sub Someone helped me write this code, and I don't understand the implications of "MyBase", but in any case, I could press simply press ...Show All

• Visual Basic LAN Messaging

  I am looking for information on how to create a messaging program inVB 2005. I want it to be able to send files (ie. images and documents), private messages and group chat over a LAN. It is going to be a part of another program. I have found something similar on Coding4Fun that is written in C++, it's called Media Share Messenger. Any information would be helpful, thank you. Well there's quite a bit of backend, which usually requires a log-on server. Each person would log onto this server, the server holding user names, passwords, buddy lists, file sharing lists, and other things you'd want to hold universal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VWD Express beta 2 IIS problem

  Hi, i created a website which runs under a "File System" location and hence with the aps.net web server on a random port. Works all fine but now i want to host the site with the IIS. So i tried to create a website under the "http" path, something like 'h ttp://localhost/blabla' . I didn't changed something on the default generated stuff, just compiled and run it. I got the error "Unable to start debugging on the web server. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.". Ok, no problem i thought, disabled debugging in the web.config and run it again. The IE pops up and showed me a "Cannot find serve ...Show All

• .NET Development handling packets on recive

  how do ppl handle this, Im finding as I move deeper into my project that my readbuffer is backing up, my packets were geting smashed together so I started sending a delimer at the end of each packet and spliting the string to seperate each packet, is there a good way to hold these split packets until I can process them thanks a ton btw im using C# If you are workign with a TCP connection, there is no gaurantee that what you send in one call to a sockets send method is what is received in one recieve call on the server.  For example, the client could send 60 bytes in one call to Send ( ...) and the serv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Migration to TFS from VSS - complicated project structure

  I am currently brain-storming the best way for our organisation to structure TFS Team Projects.   I have successfully completed a test migration which simply migrated our current VSS root directory to a top-level TFS Team Project. However, we have a complicated and fairly large VSS database so we will want the actual migration to be a bit cleverer.  I plan to use the migration as an opportunity to do some reorganisation of the project structure by utilising the VSSConverter.exe tool's "ProjectMap" node in the migration_settings xml.  My questions are as follows: 1) In the migration_settings.xm ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Route to another LOCAL Broker Instance

  I have two databases (A and B )on the same SQL Server instance. Both have SSB enabled and running fine within themselves. All athorizations are at present set to dbo. Recently I had a requirement to start a dialog and send a message from within data base A to a queue via a service that is in database B.

On both occoasions I got the following on sys.transmission_queue "An exception occurred while enqueueing a message in the target queue . Error : 916 , State : 3.

• SQL Server DataReader Source and ODBC connection to PostgresSQL

  Hi, I am trying to use the DataReader Source to import a table from a PostgresSQL database into a new table in SQL 2005 database. It works for all tables except one, which has over 80,000 records with long text columns. When I limit the import to fraction of records (3,000 to 4,000 records) it works fine but when I try to get all it generates the following errors: Source: DataReader using ADO.NET and ODBC driver to access PostgresSQL table Destination: OLE DB Destination - new table in SQL 2005 (BTW - successful import with DTS packagein SQL 2000) ---Errors Error: 0x80070050 at Import File, DTS.Pipeline: The file exists.

• Visual Studio Team System Global Supression File

  How can I create a global supression file in VS 2005   I see 1 set of instructions on MSDN (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms244718.aspx), but the steps do not work in the released version of VS 2005 Thanks In Advance! Rich The link you pointed to is a description of how to modify code analysis settings only. A global suppressions file is created automatically any time you right-click and suppress an item in the error list for which a global suppression is appropriate. To see what I'm talking about, compile a default C# application and run code analysis against it. You should ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System code coverage "off road"

  I've tried using the sample from http://blogs.msdn.com/ms_joc/articles/406608.aspx  to get the off-road experience of code coverage. However, when I run the tests on my instrumented binary, I'm getting the coverage results for the test project instead of my instrumented binary. Am I missing something here! Can you send me information about TS-ing into your machine via email to munjald@microsoft.com I am pretty sure the problem is very basic (especially since it is a C# console application after all) and I will not take long before I find out the real problem. Please send information about login credentials and the project path, e ...Show All

  I have a report that has several tables. Each table is to begin on a new page. When I preview the report with the report viewer everything is on one page. When I go to print preview I get the desired page breaks. How do I get the page breaks without going to print preview Is there a config file setting Right now, for each table, I have checked the "Insert a page break before this table" box. I have also tried the "Insert a page break after this table" without success. Any help would be appreciated.

• Windows Forms How would I persist a DataGridView's selected row after a sort?

  (Using 2.0 release) Does anyone have a suggestion for this Looking at the MSDN2 documentation for the DataGridView.Sorted event I found the note " the current cell is not automatically persisted when sorting ".  I have unfortunately not been able to find any reference on how to change this default behavior.
