• Windows Forms One or more errors encountered while loading the designer

  Hi, I was working on a simple Winforms C# project. I created a few of TableAdapters using the designer and attached them to datagridviews on my form.

The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes. Clicking on each error will take you to the line of code that caus ...Show All

• Visual Studio where's vss 2005 in vsts 2005?

  Neither VSS 6 nor VSS 2005 shows up in the VSTS 2005 IDE. VSS 6 worked just fine in VB6 and .Net 2003, and installing VSS 2005 works in VB6 (!) but nothing at all appears for 2005 Help!      Sean Hi Sean, I understand you already have VSTS and VSS2005 installed on the machine. You'll need to set the active provider in VSTS to enable source control integration.

• Software Development for Windows Vista WorkflowInstance.GetWorkflowDefinition and running instance

  Hello, As it was mentionen in earlier posts in this forum, WorkflowInstance.GetWorkflowDefinition returns meta data information of the worklfow. That is to say workflow property values updated during runtime would not be included in the returned Activity instance. I would like to ask you how would it be possible to get the exact copy of a running workflow instance from the host application (including values set to activity properties at runtime) The next question I would like to ask is if it is possible to use WorkflowInstance.ApplyWorkflowChanges method to update activity property values for a running workflow instance Or this meth ...Show All

• SQL Server Option for accessing external DLL's from the CLR

  What are my options for calling external DLL's from SQL CLR, I used to use the sp_OA method but these have been converted to .Net assemblies and I do not want to use interop for several reasons. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. J- Are the external DLLs .NET assemblies, or...   If they are not, interop is really your only choice (or turn back on object automation).  If they are assemblies, just load them into SQL Server (using CREATE ASSEMBLY) and go for it...   -- Adam Machanic Pro SQL Server 2005, available now http://www..apress.co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF output not conducive to efficient use from scripting

  Our builds are heavily scripted.  TF seems to output extraneous information which causes us to have to do unnecessary string parsing.  For instance, in over SCM tools usually there is a very easy way to get just the items in a directory that are under version control.  But in TFVC, if the best I can do is this: tf dir C:\proj\somedir but then I get this output to deal with: -------------- $/Proj/somedir foo.cs bar.cs baz.cs 3 item(s) -------------- So I have to lop off one line from the beginning and 2 lines from the end.  And sometimes it is 3 lines from the end because of an occasional extr ...Show All
