• Windows Live Developer Forums API Questions

  I've run into a couple of issues in my development. Both are easy enough to work around but I'd prefer clarification if possible. The first issue is with the response. I seem to be getting a garbage character at the beginning of my response stream. This is preventing me from duming the response directly into the XmlDocument.Load() method. To verify I wrote a console stub and dumped the stream to the screen and it shows as a " " there. I've worked around this by writing the stream to a string then checking for the first occurance of the "<" and passing the substring from there into the .LoadXml() method instead but it feels very hackish ...Show All

• Visual Studio Binary/ASCII recognition and Binary_Masks option with SS 2005 does not work

  Hi !   We have switched to VS2005 and VSS 2005 and have now some problems with the file type recognition .   We have a filetype that contains a lot of ascii line (Defines) and after that there is a CTRL-Z and binary data. Because the recognition is very hard we set the BINARY_MASKS-option in the ss.ini to that extension. That worked fine with VS6, but VS2005 doesn`t care about the option and sets the filetype to ASCII. Whats wrong   Regards from Germany Joerg FYI, in case they are dupes of each other, I filed a bug in December about autodetect encoding in VSS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Which SQL to install with VSTS Beta 2

  I've worked with VS 2005 before, but always with SQL server 2000.  I'm going to start over with a fresh install of the latest VSTS Beta 2 and was wondering which SQL 2005 I should install with it and which I should install first. I would like to create and debug stored procedures on the SQL server from within the VS IDE. Thanks for any advice. Hi, if you have windows installer 3.0 then sql server 2005 will be able to get installed first. if not you will get a error message about the same. The setup files for Windows Installer 3.0 is found on the team system suite DVD. Run vs.net 2005 first and you will be able to get sql serv ...Show All

• Visual C++ Thread safety and atomicity of byte operations

  I apologize if this is not in the right forum but because of its relation to the CRT, I thought I'd start here. Using VC++ 2005 Pro in a mixed (/clr) project, I am sharing memory between processes (the other being a mixture of legacy code from various programming languages and platforms) running on Win2K Pro or WinXP Pro (same computer). I map a view to a filemap using a struct. For example, if I had a sequence of a double, an int and a byte (unsigned char), I'd have a struct like this: struct MyMap { double dVar; int iVar; byte ucVar; } and the mapping would work like this: MyMap *ptrToMyMap; ...Show All

• Windows Forms TabControl Design Time Problem

  In C++/CLI (2005) I place a TabControl to the left, and add tab pages aligned to the left.  Problem One:  With Appearance "Normal" the tab page is fine; but the text on the vertical tabs does not show up.  If I change to "Buttons" the text show up but then there is a new problem. Call that Problem Two:  With Appearance "Buttons" the size and location the page can not be controlled.  If I edit the size property, it reverts (immediately) back to the IDEs preference.  I can't change the tab page via the mouse (move or resize).  If I go to the code, I can change these things; but I don't see that the ...Show All

  is it at all feasible to embed an office doument (specifically word) into an ssrs report so that the document will print out when renderered to pdf No, this is really not possible.

• Visual Studio Team System How do you read pdb files so that you can extract the line number and source file information of the memebrs being checked?

  I need to get information such as the line number and the source file of the violation checked in FxCop. I've searched some threads and it is telling to use pdb files. How can I read pdb files using FxCop sdk Pdb files contain the link between the executable code (ie the assembly or binary) and the source code. You shouldn't need to read the pdb file yourself as FxCop will automatically use this to point to the source file/line in the UI if you pass the node to the Problem constructor. Under what context (ie within a rule, in the FxCop UI, etc) do you need to know the source and line ...Show All
