• Visual Studio Team System Is the Team Suite trial compatable with TFS Beta 3 Refresh

  I am currently having a problem accessing Documents in Team Explorer using the client shipped with TFS Beta 3 Refresh and wondering if I will have better luck with Team Suite Trial edition. Anyone know You must use the version of Team Explorer that ships with the version of Team Foundation Server you're trying to access. Team Suite Trial Edition (and for that matter, all other Visual Studio products) do not include Team Explorer. You must obtain this from the Team Foundation Server installation media. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office how to store and read .doc file in a table of sql server using C#.

  I would like to store and read .doc file in a table of sql server using C#. Can some body help me on this my id is padam76@gmail.com . Thanks & Regard, Padam Kumar Tripathi Since VSTO requires Office (Word) 2003, you'd theoretically have access to the Word 2003 XML file format. The users would have to save the files as XML; this can be set as the default file format in a networked environment. You can then use any common tools to "stream" the XML into your database. It's round-trip, so no big deal to "stream" it back as a file, again, or directly into a document opened in Word. -- Cindy Meister ...Show All

• .NET Development Packaging applications

  Hi, I have the Microsoft Visual Studio software. I am trying to create an application (looking into msi apps) that when run will unpack a whole bunch of files into a folder and create a shortcut of an executable (which is part of the package) on the users programs list in the start menu. Any ideas would be appreciated.

• SQL Server Column-order an access speed?

  Is there any truth to this: the placement of fields in a table relates to field access speed. So, frequently accessed fields should be placed in the beginning of the table while fields infrequently used can be placed toward the end. TIA, Barkingdog Doubt if placing frequently accessed fields first have any sense. Maybe there are something when you are accessing fields by names in client application, but overhead (if any) is hardly noticeable. ...Show All

• .NET Development Is gacutil.exe redistributable

  I am producing a bespoke software system in C#/C++ for Windows 2000 that uses the Office XP Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) to talk to MS Access. I am required to provide our customer with both the executable system and full soure code on CD for full system installation & recovery as well as post-development by the customer. I believe the Office XP PIAs are redistributable so we should be allowed to include them on our delivery CD. However, in order to install them, we need to use gacutil.exe (Global Assembly Cache Utility) which come with the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK but this does not appear to be redistributable. The ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting truncated socket bytes

  Hi, I am listening to a port for data but I am not able to recieve whole data, I only get truncated data. Client sends me data that exceeds 40K and the data I recieve in my callback function is always 8K to 9K. I dont get the rest of the data.

• .NET Development Datareader and class'ing

  I am trying to find a way to class my datareader code. the code opens the DB connection and reads the information. then the datareader is used to populate a listbox. is there a way to return a datareader from a class file when I try doing so with 'private void ReadDatabase(string Command)' I get an error that void does not return a value. obviously private int would not work or other similar calls. So how do I return the reader I have to allow the calling code to populate the listbox because there are actually 3 listboxes that will use the code. each listbox has different names and has different database commands. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Quick question on database updates

  My sql mobile database does not update changes to the actual database, only the copy it has in debug mode, not the actual database. How do i fix this AS gives you TCP/IP connection to desktop, rest is up to you. Say, you can listen on a port on desktop and make your PPC application to send changes as it detects AS connection. Or you can export changes into XML file, make AS copy it to desktop and import it into the primary database on desktop. As to Web Service, it’s basically an RPC over HTTP, it can run through any TCP/IP connection including one provided by AS, no web really required. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Trouble linking project ( repost )

  I asked this yesterday: I have taken on a job of moving a VC6 project to VC2005.  This product is so old, it uses XercesC because it predates MSXML ( so they tell me ), and it uses a number of other libraries as well.  One in particular ( a DICOM library ) gives me linker errors as follows: "public: __thiscall std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >::~basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >(void)" ( 1 $basic_string@DU $char_traits@D@std@@V $allocator@D@2@@std@@QAE@XZ) already defined in dcmimage.lib(diyp2img.obj) msv ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting IP Addresses

  Hi folks, I'm just wondering how I can programmatically obtain the IP address that's been assigned to my router from a machine that's within the router's internal network (192.168.*) Any ideas The best way to do this is by using a webservice. You need asp.net hosting for this. Basically you need to define a web service in an .asmx file and make a public function which is defined as a webmethod using:- <WebMethod> eg <WebMethod(Description:="This returns an external Internet Protocol address.")> Public Function GetClientAddress(byval user as userobject) As String Once you have ...Show All
