• Visual Studio can i use inputs and outputs

  I know the inputs, but I do not know the outputs until I'm in the logic of my custom Task. Is there anyway to still use inputs and outputs in my .targets file to control when things will build, or do I need to implement this myself in my Task class Thanks, Mike Inputs and Outputs must be declared in the project file. Their values may be computed by combining existing properties and/or items, or by previously built targets, but they must be specified in the project file. Are the names of your Outputs not simply transformations of the names of the Inputs e.g., something like inputs: "a.txt;b.tx ...Show All

• SQL Server how to add a image from database to page header

  Hi, I am having same issue, but the data is an image stored in database. actually its an company logo which i need to display on every page. i have a doubt. if i user source as external and an URL in a image property, then my image will not appear if the Reporting Server and Application Server are on two different machines. if both are in one machine as my local machine(development machine) the image appears. is this an known issue or how to solve this. due to this reason, we thought of putting images in database and pulling out, but it turned out to be an another problem. You can follow the approach described in Books ...Show All

• Visual C++ crt deprecation

  VS8 has these new defines. I#define _CRT_SECURE_CPP_OVERLOAD_STANDARD_NAMES 1 #define _CRT_SECURE_CPP_OVERLOAD_STANDARD_NAMES_COUNT 1 #define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE If I use the last one, will the other 2 still work I.E. will they still generate code for sprintf_s, strcpy_s, etc (I like the last one because it gets rid of some warnings about gmtime, etc.) If you're careful enough, yes. If your code is not suitable for template overloading (eg. if you pass dynamically allocated buffers around, or it can't get the size of your arrays), then you will get the unsafe versions, and the compiler won ...Show All

• SQL Server CTE in a DSV named query

• Visual Studio Team System Deleting Branches

  When you have a main source code line and create a branch off of it, if you delete the branch from source control, it still appears in the property window.  If you create another branch with the same name, VSTS starts creating merge issues with "prior versions". Is there a way to "correctly" delete a branch if no longer needed as a child branch (such as a developer leaves the company) OR is VSTS supposed to not let you delete a branch once it's created.  If a branch is never really deleted, why can you create a new branch with the same name... You will see the multiple branches in the Properties...Branches tab in the Source C ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Focus after bookmark insert?

  We are displying a Word Document in a Iframe on an .aspx page.  This Document was created using VSTO and in it we have an ActionsPane.  We use it to insert bookmarks onto the Document by double-clicking in a listbox.  All that works fine, but my problem resides in the foucs after we insert a bookmark.  The focus remains on the listbox, NOT the Document, which I need. I have tried this: doc.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekMainDocument It works fine in just the Document, but in the browser it doesn't.  I know it is not meant to be in a browser, but does anyone have any ideas   O ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Determine if Bluetooth or GPRS connection

  Hi, How is it possible to determine if the bluetooth, gprs or wlan is turned on in my ppc or smartphone if not then how is it possible to turn it on regards, rnv GPRS: You can't really ever be sure you are connected as you can lose connectivity at any time. I'd recommend that you simply try to do your send/download and if it works you're connected. You don't need to turn it on, the device handles this for you when you try to talk to the web. You can use (e.g.) OpenNETCFG ConnectionManager, but this won't tell you properly if you are disconnected, so you may as well use the above method ...Show All
