• Visual Studio Express Editions Debug Mode vs Release Mode

  I am working through a beginning C# book which is attempting to demonstrate the Debug.WriteLine and Trace.WriteLine functionality in both Debug and Release mode configurations. The book states to simply choose the release mode option from the standard toolbar. I believe that the book is assuming the use of the full blown version of Visual Studio 2005, whereas I am using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition. I see a drop down box in the standard toolbar that, when rolled over, shows solution configurations. However, this box is grayed out and not accessible. Is there some configuration setting that needs to be made in order to "activate& ...Show All

• SQL Server SSMS/"Report" button... is it possible perhaps to customize those reports or add new?

  Hmm, In SSMS on the Summary tab there is a nice little button called Report.. where a number of reports available for admin. Good addition. Nice. Here is the question to all... can one customize these reports or maybe even add some additional a.k.a custom-build reports to this "menu" button Maybe this question should be addressed to VS team. Anyway... anybody hacked the SSMS to find out what level of customization can it have beside twikin' settings. Best, ~Leon Hi Leon, As of right now it is not possible. This is something we're looking into for a future service pack but ther ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hosed Refactoring Smart Tags after LINQ May CTP Install

  I installed the May CTP. The refactoring Smart Tags no longer work. For example, when a variable name is changed, the underscore glyph appears indicating that a refactoring is available. Usually, by hovering over the glyph or by pressing a shutcut key, a Smart Tag will appear. This Smart Tag no longer appears. Further, the Refactor shortcut menu is no longer available in the body of the editor. I uninstalled the C# 3 language service using "Uninstall C# IDE Support.vbs", but the refactoring support was not reset. How do I restore my IDE to it's previous state Do I need to re-install VS By the way, I have noticed one other really odd behavio ...Show All

• SQL Server What component to use for Calling View

  In SSIS 2005 what component can I use inside my Data Flow task to call my View and use it as a datasource I know I've used an Execute T-SQL Task but I don't know what component to use inside an actual task itself. What I'm trying to do is in my Data Flow task, instead of using 3 OLE DB Source components, I want to actually call 3 stored procs and use those 3 components as the data sources to merge on using the merge and sort components later on You've lost me. At the start of the above post you say you want to use a view. At the end of the post you say stored proc. Which is it Either way, a view or a stored proc can be used inside a ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Direct Play Voice Session

  Hi All. Can any one tell how many number of players can be added in direct play voice session Riaz, Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to your question. What I do know is that Microsoft has declared DirectPlay to be deprecated technology and strongly recommends AGAINST using it. This is due to discovered security holes, as well as the fact that the more robust Winsock 2 API now allows you to do everything you would want to do for networking. Unfortunately, Winsock 2 doesn’t have a high-level implementation of voice sessions, but there are several 3rd party developers which are using the Winsock 2 API, in conjunct ...Show All

• Visual C# Determine origin of function call while debugging

  Is there any simple way of finding the origin of the call to a specific function once you have stopped at a breakpoint on that function Click on the CallStack tab (the tab is usually located in the same tool window as Command Window, Breakpoints, Tasks and Output). It should show your current function call highlighted (with red breakpoint and yellow arrow). Look directory below that highlighted line to find out who called the function... you may have [<non-user code>] indicated, which means that it is code that you don't have the source for (for example the framework)... as you continue to look furthe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual C++ 2003 - starting any app in debugger stalls

  never seen this before. I'm stumped. It was working fine up until a couple days ago. Suddenly, it's showing the following symptoms: - pressing F5 or start from the debug menu causes visual studio ide to go into debugging layout - executable name shows up in task manager. - executable memory usage is 144k no matter what project i'm trying to run - no windows (console in console apps, windows in window apps) appear whatsoever - debug output pane is empty - pressing the break button yields error popup "Unable to break execution. The process does not contain any programs" - pressing stop, a message pops up too fas ...Show All

• Visual C++ debugging: where are the variables?

  Let me start by saying that I am a beginning C++ programmer and am very new to Visual Studio 2005, so please forgive me if this is a silly question. When running the debugger on a simple program such as the one listed below, I find that it doesn't bother to display anything for most of the variables, and even for the variables it does display for, it seems to be garbage. #include <iostream> using namespace std; void main() { const int arraySize = 12; double sales[arraySize] = {0}; int count = 0; double smallestSales = 0; int smallestSalesMonth = 0; for (count = 0; count < arraySize; ++count) { cout << "En ...Show All

• Visual C# WIA 2.0 Image Deletion

  I need a programmatic way to delete images from a digital camera using WIA 2.0 Automation Layer and C#. I am referencing Interop.WIALib.dll in my project. I can find references to a CommandId for DeleteAllItems for use with ExecuteCommand method in online documentation http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wiaaut/wia/wiax/refwiaaut/consts/commandid.asp but there appears to be no Device class available to me inside C# (only DeviceInfo, and it lacks ExecuteCommand).

• Visual Studio Team System Denied. Moving TFS to a new server doesn't work

  After following the arduous and kludgy procedure for moving my TFS server to a new machine, I'm faced with a totally broken system. OK, that's not entirely true, but it might just as well be.  The new server seems to be running fine.  A Team Client installed on the new ATDT machine can connect to and interact with the new team server just fine. If the old server isn't running, existing clients insist that they cannot connect to the new server, yet I can can browse to the web services on the new server just fine (e.g. http://ATDT:8080/WorkItemTracking/v1.0/ClientService.asmx ). I can also browse to the report server and the sh ...Show All

• SQL Server Views or not?

  I am supposing that SQL Mobile 2005 does not support views in its database It is odd that all development tools show the tab of Views, but I cannot seem to find how someone would create one there. Is there a reference someone can point me to, or just reply to the forum to set me straight. Thanks. Correct, views and stored procedures are not supported by SQL Mobile. I would guess development tolls are common for different providers, hence "Views" tab. ...Show All
