• Visual C++ makefile projects and visual C++

  Hi, I'm working in a company that uses (gnu) makefile projects with visual C++.  My problem is that my makefile supports a wide range of targets but they can only be configured at the top level projects level.  What I'ld like to be able to do is select a file or folder in the solution explorer and invoke a macro that will start make with the smallest applicable target.  There's a clear mapping from folder name/module name to associated target so determing the specific target isn't a problem - the problem is how do we execute an operating system command (ie 'make <target>') from the macro execution environment! Anyone ...Show All

• Windows Forms Printing data from a datagrid/dataset

  Hi all, I've been searching Help/Walkthroughs/Discussion Groups for hours on this and really don't have a definitive approach or way forward... I have a page that displays a datagrid which is filled using a select command query based on user selected criteria. This works fine. Once the datagrid is displayed I need the users to have the option to print the datagrid. Here are the solutions I've found and the problems related to them: 1- Use crystal reports - well I've tried following the Walkthrough in Visual Studio help and it doesn't work because the walkthrough is based on accessing data from a table in an sql database, not a dataset, ...Show All

• Visual C# C# .NET Naming Conventions

  Does anyone know where I can find a list of naming conventions for UI elements.  I found a bunch of places where they have variable, property, method, event handler, formatting style, etc. conventions.  But I am having a hard time finding naming conventions other than the Visual Basic 6.0 Naming Conventions on Microsoft's website. As the programming world is rapidly moving away from hungarian notation, it's easy to state that you should not use it, or any type of prefixed notation. Naming textboxes "txtThisAndThat" or strings "strThatAndThis" is unnecessary, since the IDE can give you the type and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build status not refreshing when executed on remote build server

  I have an XP VPC on which I only installed Beta 2 of Team Build and TFS Client (Team Explorer only), this is my build server and I have another VPC (W2003) with the Data, App and Client tiers. When I launch a build from VS2005 specifying my XP machine as the Build Server, it gets added to the list of builds with a status of 'Build Initializing', the build executes and deploys correctly on the build server but the status is never updated (yes, I click the refresh button).

• Visual Studio Extend DataSet Designer ?

  Is there anyway to extend the current DataSet designer in VS2005 I would like to add a few properties to tables and columns.  The properties should show in the properties control and then be persisted to the xsd as extended properties (msprop attrribute). Seems simple enough :) If I have to create a designer by hand - it just wouldnt be worth it. Thanks As far as I know the DS designer is executable code that cannot be customized.  You could make your suggestions to MS at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/Default.aspx . The other possibility is to build your own custom tool, which in th ...Show All

• Visual Basic GUI or Command Line app?

  I have a project and since I'm relatively new to the VS.NET environment, I have a very general question. I need advice from experienced developers on whether to create an app as a VB.NET GUI or as just a command line app. Here's basically the high level view: the app will be executed several times a day using Windows Scheduler. The application will query an internal database, then go thru our proxy/firewall and consume an external web service. Once it does the processing in the web service, it will need to terminate. There's no user interaction on this. The credentials, where necessary will be in a config file. Is there any value in creat ...Show All
