• Visual Studio VS.NET modifying my custom .csproj changes

  Hi, As part of my build process, I am copying generated classed into my DataAccess project, then trying to build DataAccess.csproj which should include the newly generated classes. I modified the <ItemGroup> to include all .cs files in the directory as follows: <ItemGroup> <Compile Include=".\**\*.cs" /> </ItemGroup> It seems that Visual Studio overrides this change when I reopen the project. It lists a Compile node for each file in the project. Is there a better way to modify DataAccess.csproj so that all .cs files in the project's directory will be build Thanks, Gavin Thanks for t ...Show All

• Visual Basic retrieve and parse HTML data

  Hi in VB.NET 2005, what is the best way to retrieve and parse HTML data from a URL, a bit like a search engine crawler I am building an app, where I need to parse a website, and collate data from it (the website uses some tags that I could pull out to get the appropriate bits of data).  I want to be able to do this in a thread, and just update a DB with the data, and give the client app a status update of the progress.

• .NET Development UI that calls Web Service creates reentrance. Bug ?

  I make a synchronous web service call when the mouse is clicked or when enter is pressed. What I find is that the if I click on the mouse again while the web service call is still processing the first call it causes annother mouse click event. Since the web service is being called with the synchronous (blocking) call Microsoft.Web.Services2.WebServicesClientProtocol.Invoke this should not happen. It seems that Invoke is NOT synchronous and this is causing MAJOR headaches for me. Any solutions on how to make it truly synchronous The web service proxy class is inheriting from Microsoft.Web.Services2.WebServicesClientProto ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I sync topic with Contents?

  I hope this is a dumb question, but I cannot seem to figure out how to sync the topic with the contents page when using Document Explorer 8.0 with the MSDN for Visual Studio 2005 content. You probably know what I'm talking about.  I do a search for ASP.NET Health.  The first topic that comes up is Using ASP.NET Health Monitoring ....  Once I select that topic, I would like to be able to see where I am in the content area, but I can't figure out how.  In the 7.0 Document Explorer there was a Sync Contents under Help. Also if some knows how to make the language stick in the 8.0 browser I would love to know. Thanks in advanc ...Show All

• Visual C# Overhiding

  What is overhiding in c#. I think the term you are referring to is "overriding" and "hiding". A superclass can override the implementation of a method defined in its base class, which means that the method implementation in the subclass will replace the implementation defined in the base class. In C#, methods can only be overriden if they are defined as virtual in the baseclass, and defined with the overrides keyword in the subclass. Similarly a method in a subclass can hide a method in its baseclass, which will hide this base class method, and expose the subclass method implemen ...Show All

  I've recently installed VS2005 beta 2 and have a Symbol PDA installed with PocketPC 2003 and CF v1.  I noticed in the project templates that I can develop a DeviceApplication(1.0) using this IDE, so I did a quick Hello world app.  Compiled fine, but when I attempt to deploy it to the Pocket PC 2003 device I get the following error: Error 1 The current version of ActiveSync is not supported.

• .NET Development Server Name missing from Add Connections in Visual Studio - clues anyone??

  I've got both SQL 2000 and SQL Excess, er, Express on my PC doing C# Pro development. If I try to Add Connection to get a data source, I can select an Express database MDF file, and operate on the data OK, but cannot select the Express server - it does NOT appear in the server list. I added the server SQLSERVER.EXE to the Windows firewall 'Exceptions' list, along with Vis Studio - no change. I CAN select the SQL 2000 server OK. I can get into and use the Express Management tool OK. Properties for the Express server are Network connection (versus Local Service and Local System, both of which don't work), network connections a ...Show All
