• Visual C++ On Build, focus switches to output window, any workaround?

  In VS2005, when I build a VC++ solution (typically with F7), when the build is complete, my cursor is in the output window, when it should be left where it was in my code/editing window. Why would I want to edit or type anything in the output window Is there any option, setting, or workaround I can use to prevent the cursor/focus from switching off my editing window after doing a build Thanks, Bit Ahh, that worked! Never thought of pressing escsape. It would be nice though, for an option that's something like, "After build complete, return cursor to last editing position". B ...Show All

• SQL Server Calling SSIS packages from within a Script task

  Hello, I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction of any sample code or documentation that allows you to execute SSIS packages from within a Script task In SQL Server 2000 DTS this was accomplished by instantiating the DTS.Package object and calling either the LoadFromSQLServer or LoadFromStorageFile method. I have not been able to find any similiar logic in the SQL Server 2005 SSIS environment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• .NET Development Values of sizeof concerning struct (no optimization?)

  I have been playing a bit with the sizeof operator, and the results that I get seems not too good. For example, let me consider struct Zero { }   an empty structure. With .Net 2.0, I get sizeof(Zero) equal to one. I know that such case is borderline, but I would like to understand why it's not zero (I do not see why a zero-length LValue should be a problem), Also, let me consider again struct SomeBits { bool a; bool b; }   . With .Net 2.0 again, I get sizeof(SomeBits) equal to two. I understand that the bit array has not been compacted in such way, but I do not understand why the struct is not compacted I would expect ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sorting on Combobox datagridview column

  Is it possible to sort a combobox column in a datagridview so that it sorts on the value that is being displayed rather than the value that is actually stored in the data table For example the data in the data table column might have the values 1, 2, 3 but the combobox column has been setup to look these values up in another table and so what is actaully shown in the grid are the values Mark, Fred and Bob. Clicking on the column header to sort the column means that it sorts on the values 1, 2, 3 and not on the values Mark, Fred and Bob. So the column is actually sorted but to the user looking at the grid it looks sorted in an odd way. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions container

  I am developing an application where I need to store 100's of html files (Static - already I know the number and name of the files) and when customer clicks some option I need to display the file... My Question is, is there any container or data folder there in visual basic 2005 so that i can embedded the html files with the application. There should not be any copy in the local hard drive, the html files should be embedded inside the application. Is there any component there to do this... see 'creating resources' in the help. I still think you would be better off putting them in a jet database. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en- ...Show All

• Visual C++ /clr kills my program - quick fix

  Hi I have a large project consisting of lots of preexisting code all in C++ and lots of my own stuff. Recently I added the front end of this application via directX (unmanaged) and all was well. I then put all of this in a windows form and found everything went really bad. I have found out that by taking my original application and simply adding the /clr operation is what causes all the problems. some examples are 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException' as well as memory problems, dropping pointers etc. Currently this all exists in one project (I know very little about this whole projects thing) and I need both pointers to the co ...Show All
