• Visual Studio any complete examples of creating new custom C# projects

  Does anyone have a full example of a Visual Studio 2003 custom C# project which demonstrates 1. it appearing in the New Project dialog, in its own folder (I know this means adding an entry to TemplateDirs). 2. it having custom C# files which I can add using Add New Item 3. it having its own icons - so I'll need to know how to create a resource file. I'm not trying to extend VS, just create my new template projects. Its a lot to ask- does anyone have this information Jason To add the custome c# files to the project directory ENVDTE.Project prj; proj.ProjectItems.AddFromFileCopy(filename); If a folder needs ...Show All

• Visual C# Retrieving from a DataRow

  Can I retrieve a field from a DataRow wtihout having to cast it to the correct type I have a class that contains a DataTable member. The default constructor fills it from a table on an SQL server. Once created, getters return lookup items from the table, based on received criteria. The getter methods accept a string or set of strings, apply a Select on the member tables, and set a result string from the data table. For example: public string getLocationData(string SiteID, string Location) { string result; DataRow[] rows = LocationInfo.Select("Practice = '" + SiteID.Trim() + "' And Location = '" + Location.Trim() + "'"); if(ro ...Show All

• Visual C++ com/atl attributes broken

  It seems most of the ATL/COM attributes from 2003 -> 2005 have been broken. Im using the RTM. I just compiled a COM/ATL project which works fine in 2k3 but in 2k5 i get lots of errors with attributes. A classic is: [ uuid("xxx-blah-xxx") ] class myForwardDeclaredClass; That no longer works. I find I have to do: class __declspec(uuid("xxx-blah-xxx")) myForwardDeclaredClass; There is no documentation or acknowledgement of this problem anywhere. I wonder if anyone at MS actually tried compiling any COM/ATL projects in 2k5 before it shipped Quite simply, unless breaking changes are documented then a project in 2k3 should compile in 2k5.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Strange XamlReader XamlWriter situation

  Hi I've come across a strange situation when serialising Paths with PathGeometry Data. When I create my PathGeometry it consists of several LineSegments. That's fine and it lets me serialise to Xaml and it's faithfully reproduced when viewing. However when I read in the same XAML file the PathGeometry no longer consists of several LineSegmentss but rather a single PolylineSegment. I employed a workaround but surely the point of a serialisation language is to be able to store the structure exactly as it was created Unless I missed something that states this is intended.

• SQL Server Execute a package on a remote server

  I want to execute a package that's found on a remote server as MSDB. The execute package task locally is not allowing me because i don't have a login permission i guess because i'm not on the same domain and my user account doesn't have the neccessary privelages to access the server. However i can execute sql statements and data flow tasks on the same server. Isn't it possible to use the login and password of the sql server in away or another to execute the package Thanks Thanks for your comments. I fail to understand the following comments - can you please elaborate the following ...Show All

• SQL Server Bulk Insert Unicode

  Good day, We are using bulk insert with a formatfile to load a text file into sqlexpress. One field in the text file contains non-ascii (unicode) charaters and the corresponding database field is nvarchar.

• Smart Device Development Signal point with the coordinate

  is it possible to use the access point with signal and calculate the coordinate in the area You won't find such information freely available, it's proprietary and most likely patented. For example: http://www.daconi.net/wifi-pos/wifi-pos.html It probably based on signal dissipation to calculate distance to AP. A B x C You have stations A, B, C with known locations and client x which moves. If you can measure signals from each base station, you could calculate distance to it. Now you have distances A-x, B-x, C-x and it's a matter of simple math t ...Show All

• .NET Development SSL server throws WebException for a protocol violation.

This product could be deployed to sites where said server has SSL enabled. As such, I am doing testing on a server with SSL enabled. I already have it set up to accept server certificates, but I'm having an issue when I try to get the response of the server. The code snippet is: System.

• Windows Forms scaling image in ListView

  I'm using a ListView in multi-column Details mode. I'd like to add an icon along with text to the first column of my items. I've figured out the code to do this, but I still have one problem. Here's my code: ImageList imageList = new ImageList(); imageList.Images.Add(Properties.Resources.myImage); myListview.SmallImageList = imageList; myListview.Items.Add("hello", 0); myListview.Items[0].SubItems.Add("world"); Note that I've already added the image to the project as a resource. The image shows up as expected in the first column to the left of the word "hello". The only problem is that it's ...Show All
