• Visual Studio Team System Unresolved Reference: Microsoft.Vbe.Interop

  Hey, I'm working on a project that is in the process of being ported from VB6 to .NET. I've tried to run fxCop against the main .DLL (it's a web app) but I get an error message telling me that there is an unresolved reference to Microsoft.Vbe.Interop. Now, I have confirmed that this file does exist in C:\Windows\assembly\ and I've even verified that the version/public key that fxCop is expecting matches the assembly in the folder. However, fxCop will not allow me to select the file to be loaded, nor am I able to use Windows Explorer to copy the file to a local directory and point to it there. Am I completely missing something here Is it not ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dual Boot Vista Beta 1 and CTP 5231

  I have a Windows XP Machine which I added a new 200GB hard drive to so that I could partition it and install Beta 1 on it. I have a detailed explanation of my many problems involved with installing it here: http://startether.com/blogs/startether/default.aspx . But that is not the reason for this post. I want to have a machine where I can boot to CTP 5231, Beta 1, or Windows XP. Before installing CTP 5231, I could start Beta 1 without a problem, and get to Windows XP with no problem either. Since I installed CTP 5231, I can no longer start up Beta 1: it is only available from the Windows XP boot screen, and when I select it, the screen goes ...Show All

• .NET Development XML and ADODB recordset

  I've inherited an classic ASP web project that includes a webservice. The code in the webservice is, at best, a hybrid of VB6 and .NET, up to and including the use of ADODB recordsets, commands and streams. There are several methods in the webservice that perform the following: create an ADODB recordset create an ADODB stream populate the .Fields collection of the recordset open the recordset and stuff records in it, using hardcoded values save the recordset to the stream return whatever the .ReadText property returns back to the caller release the recordset object, w/o closing it This seems like a rather awkward way to do things.

  Hello! As I attempt to run the installation of the WinFX Runtime Components on my Danish Windows XP the installation program reports a problem that it cannot download something after 22 MB out of 32 MB.

• SQL Server got error when using stored procedure with temp table in it

  I got an error message when i created a dataset using a stored procedure with temp table in it. The error is: "could not generate a list of fields for the query. check the query syntax or click the refresh fields on the query toolbar. invalid object name ' #indented' ". after I click on the refresh button, everything looks fine.

• Visual C++ Side-by-side DLLs: a must read for any unmanaged Visual C++ 2005 user

  I have just found a new tutorial article written by Richard Grimes that explains the whole side-by-side DLL situation with the runtime library etc. The content of this article is incredibly valuable.  I hope that the MSDN help is updated to reflect a lot of the information in this article.

• Visual C# Save Combobox items to file (not .txt)

  I have a program which has 46 diffrent combo boxes. The items in these boxes change according to what the user selects (ie Box35 items changes according to what item is selected in box 30). What I would like is for the user to be able to set all the combo box items the way they want, click save, and the program save them to a file (pref not a text file, XML maybe ). I can sort of conceptualize the saving of each "item" of every combo box and writing it to a text file, but I would much rather save it to a custom file or something else (ie a file with my programs unique file extension). I would also eventualy need to be able to popul ...Show All
