• Visual Studio Express Editions Installation of VB

  After downloading end extracting Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta2, I run setup.exe. Everytime it finishes with an error: "A problem has been encountered while loading setup components. Canceling setup." Where can I find more information what is really missing I extracted files from VB.img file using ISOBuster. It created a new folder VBD1. Then I tried to install SETUP.EXE from this folder. I didn't find any of the files you've mentioned ( vsbasereqs.dll and vs70uimgr.dll) but I found files: vsbasere.dll and vs70uimg.dll. After I had carefully checked names of all the files in the installati ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Whats the differente with biztalk 2006?

  Thanks Biztalk is designed to move messages from one place to another. It does this realibly etc... In a standard biztalk process (unless you have an orchastraion - which is basiclly the same thing as wwf)  there are no  execution phases -  A message enters the system from an Import port and imdeiatlly flows thru to the appropriate output ports. WWF on the other hand is a execution engine. For example - once the message arrives at the output port what happens to it. For example what does the person deailing with it have to do before it can be sent for fullfilment etc.. You used to be able sort of to do thesew things wit ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to change web service IP address

  Hi, I've written a smart device application that communicates with my web service. How do I go about changing the IP address in the PDA application so that I can still communicate to the web service when I deploy both the web service to the web server (which will have different IP address that development server) and the PDA application to the PDA Thanks. Thanks, it works. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Wither winuser.rh

  I am importing projects created with Visual C++ 6 into Visual 2005 Express but the compile is failing because fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'winuser.rh'. It isn't in the latest PSDK or in the VC++ 2005 include folders. Is it now it some other SDK (it isn't in the DX one either but I wouldn't have expected that). Is it in the pro or standard versions of VC++ 2005. Thanks, Mike This does appear to be in the PSDK (or I should say that it exists on my machine in the PSDK directory - but as I don't actually download the PSDK this should not be taken as evidence that it is ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista GdiPlusEffects.h missing in February 2006 SDK

  I downloaded the new Feb CTP Windows SDK and the compiler complains about missing GdiPlusEffects.h. This file is included conditionaly when GDI+ version at least 1.1 is detected. Where can this file be found The workaround is to edit GdiPlus.h and change the GDIPVER from 0x0110 to 0x0100: // Define the Current GDIPlus Version #ifndef GDIPVER #define GDIPVER 0x0100 #endif Hi Benny. Thanks for the ping. I re-pinged the people I originally pinged to see what the status was. All that ping-pong to say that...I know we have found the location of the header file in question, just a matter now of its dispos ...Show All

• Visual Basic Events: why use them instead of member call coupled with DoEvents()?

  Hello. I've been reading up on Events, and don't see what they offer that just doing a member call, followed by DoEvents() would not do for you When I indicate an event, the function that indicated it must wait anyway for the event to return control. And DoEvents() would accomplish the same thing of seeing if, for example, the user clicked the 'Cancel' button if I was to call a function, then DoEvents() after it, then checking for cancel button. What am I missing I don't see any difference. I searched these forums as well and didn't see an appropriate response. Any help, or references to where an identical question was asked would be a ...Show All

• .NET Development The behavior of Enum.ToString()

  I wrote this code. enum MyEnum { One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, [ System.Obsolete ] xTwo = Two, [ System.Obsolete ] xThree = Three, [ System.Obsolete ] xSix = Six, } MyEnum e2 = MyEnum.Two; string s2 = e2.ToString(); MyEnum e3 = MyEnum.Three; string s3 = e3.ToString(); As a result, s2 is "Two" and s3 is "xThree". Why s3 is not "Three" When you have multiple members with the same value it's unpredictable which one name will be returned by ToString. Changing the order of the members may help but it's still implementation dependent which string you get back. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Architect vs. VSTS Developer

  With he proposed changes in MSDN subscriptions and Visual Studio licensing, I now have to make a decision between VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. As I understand, MSDN Universal subscribers will have a choice - they can either go for VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. I believe that I need both architecture and development tools. Which out of two should I go for The information was interesting but too high-level to be really useful or answer the questions I feel most developers have. I hope you folks will be releasing something with a bit of meat on it like a feature by feature breakdown of what is included in each edition in t ...Show All

• SQL Server Package variables in case of an Exception

  Hi there, I may be blind, but I'm sure that I have seen a post about package variables 'ExceptionMessage' and 'ExceptionCode' or somehow which are only available when an Exception occurs.
