• Visual Basic Application Manifest

  Can someone tell me how to change something .application to .exe When I publish my program the files I get are: Neopets Program.application, Neopets Program_1_0_0_0.application, and setup.exe.  When I try to run the setup on my computer downstairs, it downloads 2 files then the setup will stop and the program will not be installed.  When I try to use either of the .application programs, Windows does not know what to use to open it. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Best practice for reusing inherited class heirarchy? (i.e. Reference, Link, etc.)

  Lets say I have a series of classes that I'll reuse in several projects: BaseForm inherits Form (BaseForm.vb) BaseForm_Exercise inherits BaseForm (Baseform_exercise.vb) I see a couple of ways to bring these into a project: -Link the individual .vb files (so I have to include both of the above even if I only need the BaseForm_Exercise b/c it depends on the other.) - Include a Project (MyReusedClasses) that contains all of the classes that I might be reusing. This option is a lot more organized and easier to add to a new project, BUT it means that I'll have to distribute an extra binary of MyReusedClasses.exe (or .dll) Am I missing something ...Show All

• Visual Basic Web Service setup help needed

  Hi all, I'm in the process of learning how to create and consume web services. I understand how to create the service and how to access the service from vb.net but what I don't know is how to set something up that my web service runs on. I don't have a website to publish the service on so I've briefly looked into ways to set up some kind of desktop emulation or host service that I can use. I've seen references to IIS running on the desktop as well as something else (I'm drawing a blank and can't remember the other service). Can anyone point a link out on the easiest way to set up and test a new web service There has to be an easy wa ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is C++ the poor cousin?

  Hi, Can somebody enlignten me on the plan for the VC++ IDE I've worked a bit with C# 2005 B2 and found the refactoring features very nice and helpful. Also I've played around with the class diagramming features. Now I'm beginning to do some VC++ and after much digging around in forums etc. the infomation I have so far is that these features won't be available for VC++. Is this true Where can I read what parts of the C# IDE MS plans not to deliver to the C++ community Best regards, Allan Hansen I appreciate all the work that has gone into the C++/CLI language itself, it is a really bold move.

• Visual Studio key schemes and output window nagivation

  In VS2003 using the default key binding scheme, F8 is mapped to Edit.GotoNextLocation. Edit.GotoNextLocation works in the Find Results windows. Edit.GoToOutputWindowNextLocation is used for navigating the Output Window and in the default key binding scheme, nothing shows up as bound to that command. However, in practice it appears to be bound to F8 (as if it is sharing the Edit.GotoNextLocation command binding). And F8 works whether or not the output window has focus (unless an SEID_ResultsList element has been brought forward). In VC++6, by default, F4 and shift+F4 are used to navigate both the output window and the find results window dep ...Show All

• SQL Server Grand Total Count incorrect after incremental update

  I've been experiencing a strange behavior with a count measure where the total doesn't show the correct number after an incremental update. Basically I have about 70 million rows in my fact table and initially I do a full process of the cube to get it up to speed. Then each subsequent day I do an incremental update to that cube adding only new rows. The strange part is my grand total count seems to do it's own thing after each incremental update. Here's how I discovered the problem: I made a backup of the AS database and then ran the same test 3 times restoring the original database in between each run. Each time I added about 41K rows to ...Show All
