  I have experienced the IDE becoming unstable several times. Steps to reproduce: Choose "Debug Selection" from Test View to debug a coded web test that generates an known exception.

• Visual Studio Express Editions 'static binding' with C++/CLI?

  I have a C++/CLI solution I created in VS2005 Express consisting of a windows forms project (the main programm) and a few libraries - now I'd like to create a single executable instead of an executable and a bunch of dll files. As I can't create static C++/CLI libraries (or can I ) how else can I compile them into a single executable Note: this isn't about the installation only, but mainly about the resulting programm being a (very) small tool that I don't want to require any aditional files apart from the .Net framework. You can create a static libarary project and turn on C++/CLI usage. This should wor ...Show All

• Visual J# jar API into J# Express - where do I find Visual J# Binary Converter Tool (JbImp.exe)

  I am trying to include an API into my project which is provided as a jar. I assume I need to convert it to a dll with the JbImp tool. Does this seem correct (i assume so from the doc and post http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=55927 ) but where can I find the JbImp.exe tool It is not on my system !

• SQL Server Second instance of Reporting Service cannot get to web page

  I am beginning to think I can't do anything right with Reporting Services. I was following Brian Welcker's web cast SS 2005 Reporting Services Management and Configuration. I have successfully created a second instance of RS (demo) and all is fine until I try to browse to the port 81 web site. I cannot see the web cast well enought to see what he changed in order to get to the demo site. http://localhost/reports get to the first instance of RS. It looks as if he added 81 after localhost. I have tried .81, :81,  81 after localhost but nothing works. Would someone please tell me what I need to do to get to my demo site Thanks so much, Roy ...Show All

• Visual C# Socket streaming difficulties

  Hello The scenario is as following: There are two computers talking to each other through socket over a 1Gbps network[low network traffic], the requirement is that the server sends a data packet of barely 500bytes[average--- the packet size is variable-- excluding tcp header and acks.], every 10ms. The data is received reliably [i have checked it].  The data which is recieved is then displayed on the dialogue in form of vector graphics using GDI+. I am using asynchronous sockets. There is a function WaitForData .            if(cb == null)           ...Show All

• Smart Device Development DateTimePicker: Calendar "Pop Up" Button

  Hi All, I'm working with a DateTimePicker on a Pocket PC device.  The DateTimePicker has an arrow button, that when pressed "pops up" a calendar. Ideally, I would like the button to be large enough to be pressed by a user's finger. 1) Is there a way to change the arrow button's size 2) Is there a way to programatically cause the calendar to "pop up"     Thanks in advance, Eric Take a look at my blog post: http://blog.opennetcf.org/ayakhnin/PermaLink.aspx guid=4069b90f-f53f-4726-8790-36a9d3830aed ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to create test project and test cases 'correctly'

  Hi Our organisation just started using Scrum with Team System and as far as the managing the Product Backlog and Sprint backlog items are concerned we are pretty OK with that. However, we are a little confused on the following matters: 1- When I create a new project, why is it saved on my local C: drive and not on the SQLServer somewhere Does this mean it is outside the TS Version Control The result is that no one else can see the test cases except the person who created them. Would simply moving the test project to a network share drive allows others testers to share the test project 2- Once a test has been created, I associate the ...Show All

• SQL Server Loading 2000 backup to SQL Server 2005

  We are building Reporting solution using SSRS 2005 which uses SQL Server 2005. We periodically recieve SQL 2000 backup file which we need to migrate to SQL Server 2005. My Question is : Can we migrate the data from backup file (2000 format) to SQL Server 2005 using SSIS or there is any better way arround. many thanks in advance. Nand Kumar Hey Nand. You can restore a SQL Server 2000 backup directly to a SQL Server 2005 database if you like. You can also use detach/attach directly from a SQL 2000 database to SQL 2005. Once you do so, the compatibility level of the database will remain at 80, so if you want to update it to 20 ...Show All
