• Visual Studio Tools.InstallCommunityControls and multiple installs

  I'm using COM code to register a set of controls I've manually copied into the Controls folder of My DOcuments\Visual Studio. o = CREATEOBJECT ( "VisualStudio.DTE.8.0" ) o.ExecuteCommand( "Tools.InstallCommunityControls" , "" ) Registration works, but if this command is called more than once the controls duplicate everytime. So if I register controls and some other set of controls was alredy installed I'll duplicate their controls which is obviously not a good idea. What's the parameter to InstallCommunityControls Is there an option to "REMOVE" or better yet to remove and install only a speci ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS will not start after SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade

  Hi guys, I have experienced a problem with a SQL Server 2005 SP1 upgrade, where hotfix.exe reported an error during the SSIS component upgrade, and then the SSIS service would not start back up. I have since attempted an additional SP1 upgrade on the server, which completed successfully, however the SSIS service still will not start. The server is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP1 with SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition (x86), which had been a clean RTM install prior to the SP1 upgrade attempt. The following information was located in the C:\Windows\Hotfix\DTS9\Logs\DTS9_Hotfix_KB913090_0.log file (the servers name has bee ...Show All

• SQL Server sql DB on Server1 and SSIS server on Server 2 problem

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I love DLinq. Really need n-tier support though.

  In section 7.4 of the DLinq guide it mentions that that's something you guys are looking at. Do you guys have an idea if that functionality will get in there before the product is given the green light to go-live Since most apps these days are designed as SOA, there will need to be a distributed notification mechanism. Thanks CZ The type of n-tier support we have for DLinq is simply an API that allows you to introduce objects to a new context after they have been round-tripped across the tiers. You still have to move the objects or data across the tiers yourself, and you have to figure out how to squirrel aw ...Show All

• .NET Development Collect Search Results

  I am pretty new to .NET programing. I want to create an application that will query multiple remote websites and return the results data to my program. How would I approach this Are there examples of this online If you want a UI component you can use the WebBrowser control (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.aspx ). If you want to just issue HTTP GET requests programmatically, you can use the HttpGetRequest or WebClient types (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.aspx ) Here is a sample on how to use the WebBrowse ...Show All

• Visual C++ Double-buffering a SplitContainer panel

  I am taking my first foray into .NET programming using the Visual Studio Express 2005 edition. I am trying to convert an MFC based application and thus far have succesfully created the MDI structure etc. I am now designing the child forms which consist of a SplitContainer. The left panel is for controls, the right panel is for a diagram drawn by the application. I want (need) to double buffer this panel and am unsure how to proceed. My attempts to-date have all hit problems -- I cannot derive from the splitter panel class (it is sealed) and I cannot do a SetStyle on the already created panels (it is protected). Should I derive my own p ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to flip screen/desktop or a directx window up side down

  Dear all, Is there a simple way to flip the screen/desktop vertically or horizontally By flip I mean mirror image, not rotation. If full screen flip is not possible, is there are simple way to flip the contents (3D graphics. images, text, etc) of a directx windows vertically or horizontally Thank you so much Many thanks Jack. In fact i'm working on a system a bit like an arcade shooting game. To create an illusion of a far away screen, a mirror is used to reflect the monitor screen that is facing up. In that case, everything it draws in the program must be an mirror image to be reflected correctly to the users. I believe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System load test results

  Hi, After completing the load test I am seeing results as For requests/sec Range is 10 and in Avg column value is 4.5 My question is because range is 10 I have to multiply with 10 so that 4.5*10 =45 seconds. Is it right that in above case requests/sec is 45 seconds or 4.5 Which is right answer In another case for response time I am seeing Range is 1000 and avg column value is 99. My question is because range is 1000 I have to divided with 10 so that 4.5*10 99/10=9.9 seconds. Is it right that in above case response time is 99 seconds or 9.9 seconds Which is right answer ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding new records with the BindingSource

  I am having a problem adding controls through a bindingSource/bindingNavigator setup.  Everything else works (updating, deleting, and browsing).  For this test I am using an untyped recordset. When I click the AddNew button on the navigator, the AddingNew event is fired on the bindingSource.  In this event I add a new row to the dataTable and set the AddingNewEventArgs NewObject property to a reference to the new row.  This is where it gets weird... The navigator indicates that a new row has been added by incrementing its count.  However, I cannot navigate to the new record using the navigator's moveNext or mo ...Show All
