• .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 Basic what type of collection to use?

  I have a collection of type System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection, which is great for getting the value of each item using either the Key or Index. However, I also need to be able to get the Name of a Key using it's index, and this doesn't seem possible with this type of collection. The only way I can see to do it is by keeping two collections going, the second with the name of the key in the first collection, that can't be right! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual studio locking up when doing TFS stuff.

  Hi, I am wondering if anyones else is having a similar problem as me. It seems at certain times when I do various actions (getting latest code, checking in something) the action completes and then Visual Studio locks up to the point where I have to kill the devenv.exe from the task list. It has happened to me quite a few times now. I am running the VPC image for the server and have installed the TFC from the en_vs_2005_tfs_trial.iso file. ...Show All

• Visual Studio .VSCC file

  Is this file created by Visual Studio, or the the MSSCCI plugin Thanks, JD Hi JD, This file is created by VisualStudio. It is meant to exist only in the source control database, when the solution file is not in the solution's bound root (the folder used for the solution connection to the source control database). The <Solution>.VsScc file contains in that case a relative path (from the solution's file to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Substitution of text during checkin or checkou

  Hi, Is there a way to replace certain key-words in the source-code during checkin or checkout (Checkout would be prefered) Background is source-code-cleaning (remove bad words in comments, developer names etc.) Kind regards, Daniel I think that'll probably be the best approach. You could script the operation so that the get is performed to a local machine, the search replace script ran and then the c ...Show All

• Visual C++ malloc returns 0 and GetLastError 998

  In my program, some time into the execution, when I set a certain chain of events into action, malloc suddenly fails, and return 0 - even when the available memory is well over 1 GB. GetLastError returns 998 (Invalid access to memory location). I have been testing this on two different computers, on one (with less RAM available) there is no problems at all, on the other, malloc fails. I have installed Insure++ (www.parasof.com) in order to find ...Show All

• SQL Server Time Intelligence Wizard script shortcomings

  This is a question very much like one posed at http://spaces.msn.com/members/cwebbbi/   Basically, the script generated by the Time Intelligence Wizard only works for one level of a hierarchy.   I would like to know the best way to correct this. In my case several time dimensions are present - this means a short and simple answer is preferable as many scripts must be updated.   I will list a couple scenarios using A ...Show All

The crt seems to be in the prerequisite list but the mfcdlls aren't They contain Unicode/non-Unicode/managed versions of the DLL.  The easiest way to reduce this size to do the following: 1) Don't use the merge modules at all 2) Copy these two folders from \Program Files\Mic ...Show All

  How can I share source code modules and classes accross projects in different solutions without VSS As a one person developer who needs to share code accross projects I hamfistedly did it in VB 2003 by Add Existing then using Save As to put it back to the folder it came from.
