• Visual Studio Cannot install VS .NET 2003 Pro

  I'm running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and trying to install Visual Studio .NET Professional 2003. I should mention that while I'm installing, I have run the program in a way that it bypasses the prerequisite check because whenever I try to install the prereqs it always fails on the J# redistributable package and simply will not install it. Included read-me's have said it is not crucial to running the Studio and I decided to skip it. Anyways, installation has gone fine on CD1 until it comes up with this error: Error 1305.Error reading from file: G:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\QuickStart\aspplus\sample ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?

  I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. Here's my background ( being totally honest ). I am self taught, I learned C++ back in the late 90's. From there, I moved to C# because ASP.NET is the best platform availabl ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help with Remoting Sample

  From what I've read about LINQ, it seems like it might indeed be pretty cool. However, when I ran through the LINQ Preview, all of the samples seem very 'Hello World-ish' and I don't have much information yet on how it would affect me directly. Here's what I need, hopefully someone on this forum can confirm that LINQ is intended to provide this functionality, and perhaps point me to more relevant discussions and/or samples. I work with very fast, in-memory data stores. The update rate on my data store is on the order of 50K updates / sec. Way beyond the ability of SQL technology to handle; my data typically never sees the disk. However, I ...Show All

  We are considering building the next version of our internal smart client application using WCF for comminication.  If we were to deploy this newly built smart client to a number of our call center desktops for testing, qa, etc., what would be the process for updating the smart client when future releases of WCf are released   Could we deploy the runtime initially with "click once"   Would we then have to manually remove the runtime components from each desktop before upgrading to the latest version   Thanks, Christian Hi, Christian: You can deploy the WinFX runtime components u ...Show All
