• Visual Studio Build file for Web Deployment Project

  Hi, I created a web deployment project and web site itself has many dependencies. When I run msbuild on Web deployment project, it builds only the web site not the dependencies How do I make sure the deployment projects builds all the included project type references thanks Suresh Hi Suresh, I don't think the problem is that the dependencies aren't being build, rather the output from their build is not being dumped into your bin folder. I manually created a "BeforeBuild" step in the project file telling MSBuild to copy the dependency over: < Target Name = " Be ...Show All

• Architecture the best orm for .net?

  I would like to know your favorites, i am looking for a free one and with caching capabilities. Well most persistence layers support db2 out of the box. "Besides, how do tools like Codus or Persistor.net integrates with Enterprise Library from MS (June edition) " Are you referring to the MS data access app block in particular If so ... they don't at all. The two would generally be considerred similar to each other (i.e. you would use one or the other but not both). Most ORMs include the functionality found in the app block already. The other app blocks (i.e. exception management etc) can still be used without issue but t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Updating read-only columns in bound GridView

  I have a bound GridView where the SqlDataSource SELECT command consists of a join of three tables (which is not uncommon in a normalized database scenario).  My intent is to allow the user to update the values of 4 specific columns in "EDIT" mode.  Through the use of Columns BoundField attributes "Visible" and "ReadOnly", I have been able to "open up" only the desired fields for editing (all from a single table); however, in addition to updating the user's input field changes, I also want to update a couple of other columns (such as LastUpdated - a datetime column, and LastUpdateBy - the userID of the the person updating) .  T ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework 2.0 question

  I appologize in advance if some of my  questions to the forum is a little out of place. I am not a programmer or developer, just a gamer, system builder, and network administrator of a home network. After installing .NET Framework 2.0, Direct X9.0c's Diagnostic shows that one of the two system.dll files is missing. The one that is listed belongs to 1.1, so logic dictates that it is the one for 2.0 that is missing. However it is in the .NET 2.0 folder! Some other symptoms are that logging into .NET sites must be done manually (being signed in with MSN Messenger does no good), and Auto-Scroll function for IntelliPoint 5.2 does no ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Modify Window Chrome via templates?

  I've been playing around with Avalon for quite some time. I love it and am really looking forward to what people can create with it. My only gripe is the fact that the Avalon application resides inside a regular window chrome. Now, I understand why this was done, but does anyone else see a need to allow for customization of the window chrome Could anyone explain to me how Microsoft Max accomplished this Finally, I've opened up a suggestion on MSDN Product Feedback. If you think that customization of the window chrome should be allowed without Win32 calls, vote on it! http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbacki ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to find cordinates of a UserControl w.r.t Desktop

  I'm working on a user control where i'm displaying a Form jus below a TextBox (Exactly as a Normal DropDown works.) I have been facing this problem of calculating the exact location of the user Control placed in a Form so that on textChanged event of TextBox i can display the Child Form just below the TextBox. I have been able to do it partialy by using following Code. objParentForm = this.FindForm(); int x = this.Location.X; int y = this.Location.Y; bool isFormParent = false; Control obj = this.Parent; while (!isFormParent) {    x += obj.Location.X;    y += obj.Location.Y;    if (obj == objParentForm) &nb ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is UDF class declared partial?

  When you create a C# SQL Server project and add a UDF to it, the containing class that wizard creates is declared partial. Is there a reason for this I have not been able to find any mention of this in the docs or anywhere else. Does anyone know Thanks in advance, Alex So that you can include several UDFs in the class, without having them all in the same file...

• Visual C++ C++/CLI string tables

  I made the move from MFC to C++/CLI about 6 months ago and one thing that really peeves me is the new way resources are handled by Visual Studio 2005. I refuse to directly edit resource files (via the VS resource editor) because it too often messes up the layout of my form or breaks it all together. I've been very bad and placed a lot of string literals in code, until I figure out how I want to handle them. My question is...for those of you who use C++/CLI Winforms, how do you handle your resources (primary talking strings). Do you use the resX files If you create a new form in your application VS 2005 w ...Show All
