• SQL Server Using ALTER ASSEMBLY to refresh the bits of an existing assembly

  According to the documentation , it looks that it's possible to use ALTER ASSEMBLY to change the contents of an existing assembly: "If the FROM clause is specified, ALTER ASSEMBLY refreshes the assembly with respect to the latest copies of the modules located at the network location you specify." However, if I execute: CREATE ASSEMBLY [MyAssembly] FROM '\\mymachine\Test\MyAssembly.dll' ALTER ASSEMBLY [MyAssembly] FROM '\\mymachine\Test\MyAssembly.dll' I get the following error: Msg 6285, Level 16, State 1, Line 2 ALTER ASSEMBLY failed because the assembly used as a source has the same MVID as an assembly currently registered. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) avoiding right arrow presses after entering a quoted property

  As I'm going through the FebCTP examples, I'm entering the xaml in manually to explore and better remember the available properties. When entering a property like VerticalAlignment that has in-built options (Stretch, Top, Etc.), pressing tab results in the cursor moving to the right of the quote. This is helpful and allows entering further properties without moving to the arrow keys. When entering a property value that isn't appearing in intellisense (like a Heading or Click that is done manually), pressing tab or enter just insert whitespace inside the quotes. Pressing shift+enter results in a newline being created above and the cursor ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project. How do I turn off the background compiler.

  VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project.  How do I turn off the background compiler. I have a fairly large project that I migrated from VB6 to VS2005.  This is the RTM version of VS2005.  There are many issues that I need to fix up in the code, but every time I change one line of code, my system runs 100% CPU for 30 seconds. This is not even close to usable.  You might think I have a slow machine, but I am running this in a P4 3.5 GHZ with 1GB of RAM, and a SATA 150 hard drive. I will be forced to abandon use of VS 2005 for this project unless I can find a work around for this issue. Please help! ...Show All

• Visual C# SQL Server 2005 and Threads - Licensing

  I am working on a project that will require the use of SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition. We were planning to use the version that comes with 5 CALs instead of the version licensed based on processors due to the enormous cost difference. Our customer who will be using this is a goverment agency and MS charges them ~$800 for the 5 user version, but the version licensed by processor is ~$20000. This software will be potentially installed in lots of locations so cost is a big factor. The application I am working on is using c#. I am being told that if I use threads, each t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Continuing despite exceptions

  I have designed a class that throws an exception in cases when it gets wrong input. How can I continue program execution normally even after it throws an exception For instance, if in the constructor I throw an ArgumentException, I want to continue processing the rest of the input. Right now, I have code that looks like this (to create a new instance of the class): RandomString randomString=null; try { randomString = new RandomString( comboBoxCharsToUse.Text, ",", "\\/:* \"<>|"); } catch (ArgumentException exc) { Globals.ShowError(exc.Message); } Globals.ShowError (randomString.All()); If an ArgumentExcep ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Changes B2 to B3 for process xml

  Hi, I am looking at the xml for the process definition and there seem to be a few changes from Beta 2 to Beta 3. One example is "MetaData.xml" and "MethodologyTemplate.xml" seems to be replaced by "ProcessTemplate.xml". Are these changes documented somewhere I really need that information... Also - can someone explain the number 1 in the "Guidelines for updating the form section" which is described in the Task work item definition file (both for Agile and CMMI). And I am not really sure either what the section " The following mnemonics are common to MSF Agile work items " actually means. <!--   Guidelines for u ...Show All

• Visual C# How to serialize and deserialize an object

  Hi, I'd created a class named ShoppingCart, I only know that to make the instances of a class serializable, [Serializable] attribute should be exist in the class declaration. But I don't know what method should I call in order to serialize and deserialize an object. I wanna do that because this object needed to be saved in and retrieved from database. Anybody can tell me Thanks! As mentioned, if you do not need to control serialization you do not need to implement ISerializable as I mentioned. Here is an example, more or less from MSDN documentation. I created a Windows Application and added this code in ...Show All

• Visual C# Drop shadow

  Hi, Is there a way to add a drop shadow when displaying a text property of, for instance, a  label I have tried using two labels with transparant backcolor, but that fails because the font claims a margin around all the letters. Thanks,   Guido   You have to craft your own control, with custom drawing. Create class, that inherits from Label and override OnPaint method. In OnPaint use Graphics.DrawString to draw text. To get text shadow effect, draw text twice. First time you should draw the shadow, and then text itself (you have to drive text OVER the shadow). * * * If ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What “Default Value” is the correct one to represent “Scenarios”?

  I would like the report “Related Work Items” to show Scenarios as default, but I can not seem to figure out what default value I should use for the parameter WorkItemTypeParam. [Work Item].[System_WorkItemType].[All] This is the default value as standard and I thought it was just to change the [All] part to [Scenario] or something, but that doesn’t work.
