• .NET Development Return value of DateTime.ToUniversalTime method?

  Hi all, I just found the method, ToUniversalTime, in the DateTime structure members. But I don't understand the return value of that method. In the MSDN, it says: Return Value The UTC DateTime equivalent to the current local time. -or- MaxValue if the current local time is too large to be represented as a DateTime. -or- MinValue if the current local time is too small to be represented as a DateTime. Could you give me sample steps to let it return MaxValue or MinValue Sincerely, Wesley I think this description of the return value is actually incorrect. It should actually say: The UTC DateTime equivalent ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot find server for Visual Studio help

  I am having trouble using help for Visual Studio 2005. I installed Visual Studio and then installed the MSDN Library for Visual Studio that came with it. Visual Studio itself seems to be working just fine. However, any attempt to use help or MSDN generates the following error message: Cannot find server. URL: ms-help/MS.VSCC.v80/...<<lots more>> The page cannot be displayed Cannot find server or DNS error. This happens regardless of whether I try to access help through Visual Studio, or through the MSDN item on the start menu, or through the Visual Studio Documentation item on the start menu.

• Visual Studio Team System Bootstrapping LoadTest from code?

  Hello all, I think I saw this issue posted here a while ago - but I can't find the post now. My questions is: is tehre a way to configure a test in VSTS, and then write a bootstrapper to run different load tests on a schedule   Ideally, I would have something like: LoadTest test = new LoadTest("myloadtest.loadtest"); test.Start(); But there is no Start() method or anything like that. Thanks in advance, --ben One option is to use mstest.exe to execute the test, and call that as a scheduled task as you see fit. This way you'll get the rich reporting details, and an archive of those results. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is there a Native C++ API?

  I know C++/CLI can interop with managed code, and I know the programming model wouldn't be the same, but are there any native C/C++ APIs for WCF It would be interesting to try it in my MFC application. Throwing the CLR switch has way too much of a perf hit on the app. Gary, Thanks for the post. At this time, there are no native C/C++ APIs for WCF. So, aside from using the CLR switch with VC++, you can call into managed code using COM. Note, you're still loading managed code but you may be able to reduce the number of a calls across the managed/native boundary and achieve very good applicati ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce: DirectX as a prerequisite in VS2005

  It would be great if DirectX (unmanaged) could be added to the list of the ClickOnce prerequisites in Visual Studio. Ideally, DirectX would be installed in the same way as the .NET Framework 2.0: directly from the Microsoft web site. They have a custom bootstrapper on gotdotnet , but it uses the DirectX redist files (about 35 MB). What I would need is something like dxwebsetup.exe, but unfortunately it is not redistributable. ...Show All

It's bad you don't have explicit mechanism to reset cached configuration settings-all caches must be invalidated from time to time.What you mean under "devenv" There'is no such thing in "express" editions...maybe "VWDExpress.exe /setup" Best wishes. ...Show All

  I have created a project which gets its data from SQLExpress and used the Add Data Source wizard and then dragged and dropped to create data bound forms and TableAdapters. All works well on my machine. Now I want to link to data on another machine on my LAN. If I manually alter the connection string created for me automatically in the Settings tab of my project and point it at another machine all works fine. However I want to be able to do this programatically as all my users wont have VBExpress running. The trouble is that the connection string in the settings tab is read only as it is application scoped. I could create a user scoped ...Show All
