• Windows Forms All Users and Admin Rights

  I published a .Net Windows application to our company's intranet. I see that it is installed for a particular user. Is there a way for ClickOnce to install for All Users If not, does a user have to have Admin rights in order to install a ClickOnce app ClickOnce apps are meant to be isolated and low impact hence they're installed on a per-user basis only. There is no provision for machine-wide application ins ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How can I get UML from code?

  I have Visual Studio 2003, Visio and Visual Studio Express. I am doing a proyect in the Express edition and I would like to get the UML out of it. I am stuck because I cannot open the proyect in the 2003 version, nor in Visio. Is there any plugin to convert 2005 proyect to 2003, to reverse-engineering to Visio or any external tool I think MS is doing a great job having this Express editions but I think they should have provided a way to work ...Show All

• SQL Server Significant performance reduction after migration from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005

  Hi all,   I am wondering if anyone has similar experience.   I did the migration by detaching the database from SQL 2000 running on W2K Pro and attaching it to SQL 2005 running on XP Pro.   Some queries with simple aggregate functions such as AVG() have been slowed by at least an order of magnitude.   I understand that SQL server can intelligently adapt to improve the performance.   I am not s ...Show All

• SQL Server Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function

  Hi all, I am having a weird issue after we upgraded our DB server to SQL 2005. I have a SP used to extract exchange rate, and a job calls this SP daily. This job worked fine on SQL 2000, and works very well in Management studio if I call this SP seperately, but failed in sql job in 2005. The error statement pointed to: select left(@row, charindex(',', @row)-1), REVERSE(left(@reversedrow, charindex(',', @reversedrow)-1)) The error ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem in DateTime Serialization

  Hi, When I transfer a DataSet with a DateTime DataColumn (Nullable) to a remote server, the value changes to 1/1/1 3:30 and therefore it can't store it in DB. This also happens when I read a nullable DateTime column from DB and want to transfer it to a remote client. It means that When I read it from DB, on server the value of the Column in DataSet is Null and after serialization the column value in Client is "1/1/1 3:30". Please gu ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET Framework and Windows User Profiles

  Problem: We developed a VB.NET application using Visual Studios 2005 and are using table adapters (via the wizard) to bind the data to the forms. The program is using a hidden textbox field on the form as the key (a SQL identity field) to run stored procedures on an SQL 2000 server. With the issue we are having, the application opens the main form and can access data from the SQL server just fine. However, when trying to run the stored proced ...Show All

• Visual Studio Since when does "EmptyProject" = "SmartPhone" project?

  Using the June CTP of Vstudio and VSIP. Ive noticed that when you create a new project using EnvDTE.Solution.AddFromTemplate and get the template for "EmptyProject","VisualBasic" you really get a smartphone application. Adding a new form shows the form in designer mode with the "smartphone" graphic behind it. This is probably a bug, but I wanted to ask just in case this is somehow by design. :) ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 2.0 Error Reporting, Can it be disabled?

  I'm not looking for a system setting, I'm not looking for workarounds... I want a way to disable it on an application basis, programmtically, in code, the way it should be. To require all developers to workaround, write perfect code (who does this anymore anyways ), or make huge try...catch blocks is ludicrous. The fact that we got by just fine with .NET 1.x and the way that all exceptions were handled, and without it calling for a WER. ...Show All
