• Visual Studio Team System Unit Test Wizard doesn't let me select certain projects.

  When adding a new unit test to my test project, the Unit Test Wizard jumps back to the "Add New Test" dialog when I select certain projects.  If I try to click either the '+' sign for the tree structure of the project or try to click on the project's CheckBox, the dialog returns to "Add New Test".  Is this because test units cannot be auto-generated for this project, and if so why do I not see some form of message dialog --Edit-- I also attempted to create a test unit directly from the class that is to be tested.  I received the error: "The source code cannot be sufficiently parsed for Code Generation.  Please ...Show All

• Visual C++ CRT functions met with IntelliSense Problem

  Hi all, Recently I met with some IntelliSense problem with Visual Studio C++ 2005. When I type function name, ie, _beginthreadex, Visual Studio cannot provide parameter list, and the following message are shown in status bar: IntelliSense: 'Could not resolve identifier'. Is that mean CRT is not supported by IntelliSense please help. Well, I see the same thing in a newly generated app-wizard Win32 console app.  This looks like a bug in intellisense to me and I have reported it to development. Here is a way to observe the problem - it need not be process.h, just any header file for which there is a #ifde ...Show All

• SQL Server User Instance=True causes invalid connection string

  Whenever I use "User Instance=True" as in the connection string below, I get an invalid connection string error. If I take it out, the connection string generates other errors. "Provider=SQLNCLI.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;User Instance=True;AttachDBFileName=|DataDirectory|\DbName.mdf;Data Source=.\\sqlexpress;" Removing User Instance=True always eliminates the invalid connection string message.

• Visual Basic Making a picturebox have a transparent background

  I have a picture of a panda with a pink background (panda_down.bmp) and I was wondering: how do I get that pink background to be transparent Never say never, my friend! I ran into the same program you're having. The EXACT same problem.... Well.... I didn't have a pink panda.... But still.... The SHORT answer to your question is that you can't have transparency in a picturebox control without doing some pretty complex coding. If you want the contents of a picturebox to be transferred into an image object, you can just go: Dim I as new Image I = Picturebox1.image or something... But, when I had your problem, I learned ...Show All

• Visual C# How to dynamically check if a type supports the "+" operator

  All, Has anybody any idea on how we can query a type to check whether it supports the "+" operator Correct me if I'm wrong, it seems to me that we can only query those methods which are named methods, like "Add" instead of "+". Thanks. Noli Operator+ is a named method; if you inspect CIL code that is produced, you'll notice a method called op_Addition. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions CDate function returns 'IndexOutOfRange' error - also in VB.Net 2005 Beta2

  Hi folks, I have already reported this error in the VS 2005 Beta2 forum, but was told that it was not reproducible (VbCity and VBug, and your UK Launch team were also unable to reproduce the problem). I think I now have a lead on the issue! It also looks similar to a problem reported yesterday on the VB Express forum - 'I keep getting the out of range exception'. I have condensed the problem to two lines of code:       Dim myDate as DateTime       myDate = CDate("01/01/2005") The above error is reported on execution of the second line.
