• Visual Studio Can I use VB.NET 2003 Standard and VSS 2005 Internet access?

  I have VB.Net 2003 Standard, not the full VS version. Can I use it with the VSS 2005 Internet access If not what are my options I do have the VSS 2005 client installed. Is it possible to use it to check files in/out manually over the internet without the usual VB / Visual Studio Integration Thanks in advance. No, VS2003 Standard editions do not support source control integration. No, VSS2005 client cannot work over the Internet. I'd suggest to upgrade the VS version to one that supports integration. Other possible option is to use 3rd party products that provide remote access to VSS database ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Value Conversion Error

  Hi Whenever I retrieve a piece of information from a custom query, and then trying to add that information to a new row, I always receive a "Value of type Integer cannot be converted to 'System.Guid'" error. Does anyone know what could be the root of the problem Dim currentHighID As Integer = Me .Tbl_OrderDetailTableAdapter.GetMaxID newRow.ID = currentHighID+1 <<line with error Hmm I just double checked the Database and it seems that the field (newRow.ID) is the primary key of type int. So unless the compiler converts any primary key to Guid, I honestly don't think it is typ ...Show All

• Visual C# Auto Generated Settings Class

  Hi there, I was looking for some help/advice regarding the auto generated class that wraps an assemblies settings. We are currently building an application using VS 2005 but are using MSBee to build a 1.1 version assembly. We have hit a problem in that any Web References added through the IDE have cause this Settings class to be generated. As this class is a partial class this cannot be compiled sucessfully under framework 1.1 Is there any way to avoid the use of this code and still add the Web References via the IDE or will we have to go down some other more manual route to add our web references Thanks Andy ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Asynchronous I/O functions on CE

  Hi, I need to port a Windows desktop communication DLL to a PocketPC target. Unfortunately, it seems that CE doesn't support aynchronous call for the I/O function ReadFile, WriteFile and CreateFile but these functions were esential to my DLL. So, is there really no support for overlapped I/O methods on CE Is there another way to implement non-blocking read/write operations on serial ports or sockets Thx, Negyoshi. Overlapped is more efficient, and should take some space too. That should be the reason why MS did not implement on CE. But that discussion is not the topic. > Do you use message queues ...Show All

  Hello, I've searched through forum using search for my problem and finally I got to make new one. Here we go. I'm trying to make a structure in C# which converted from this Delphi code.

• .NET Development Best practice while writing C# functions

  Hi, Anyone has any idea about how to free up memory in C# functions. Does the GC collects memory after a function has executed How about setting variables to null after we are finished with them, or the GC will automatically set them to null Does setting variables to null in finally causes an overhead void TestFunc() { XmlDocument xdDoc = new XmlDocument(); try { // use xdDoc } catch { // handle catch } finally { xdDoc = null; } } An object becomes available for garbage collection once there are no longer reachable references to that ...Show All
