• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista 5308 issues with Emulex Fibre Channel

  This may be a pretty rare problem right now, but I cannot get Vista to install or run with an Emulex LP8000 fibre channel card. All of my servers and workstations boot from and work with partitions on Dell PowerVault fibre channel arrays. I seem to have narrowed the problem down to the fibre channel card. I use the same LP8000s in all of my machines and when I try to install Vista on any other computer with different hardware setups, they wil ...Show All

  I'd like to know if there are any issues involved with installing Visual Basic 6.0 on a Windows Server 2003 server with VB .NET installed. Thank you. No need to worry - there is no way that .NET can cause VB 6 applications to fail.

• Visual Studio When to load package

  Hello, I need to listen for solution events (e.g. OnAfterOpenProject) in my package.  I originally set my package to load when a solution exists using the following registration attribute: [MSVSIP.ProvideAutoLoad(EnvDTE80.ContextGuids.vsContextGuidSolutionExists)] I believe this works as it should; it fires after the solution has opened.  Unfortunately, I do not get an opportunity to hook up my event handlers for solution events like O ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to reliably identify a new loaded model in a shared store

  I'm sorry if this has been answered before, but I can't quite make it out from previous posts on the subject. I have code that loads a model from a file into a store. At the moment I am creating a new store each time, but am looking at re-using the same store. To that end I have the two methods below. The first creates a new store for a model, the second loads the model into a store. The problem arises when I call the second method directly, pas ...Show All
