  I want to save an array of UShort integers in any chosen directory, using a Common Dialog Box. (There seem to be big differences between VB6 and VB Express.)

• Visual Studio Team System Team System Tutorial

  I have a Microsoft provided tutorial for SQL Server 2005.  It comes with a Virtual PC image (though not with Virtual PC itself, and not with a Windows 2003 license I had to scrounge up from my MSDN subscription).  It does a good job of leading you through using all the new tools. Does anyone know of a similar tutorial for the Team Suite tools   One that leads you through a coherent way to use the Application Designer, Code Profiler, Load Testing, and the like   I could really use one to get my feet properly wet. TIA, Don Everyone's already answered the question about the VPC, so I'll pitch in with an answer to a ques ...Show All

• Visual Studio Dragging from the Data Sources Window

  Hi, This is my first post on this forum. I have built a tool window and want to drag from the Data Sources Window to it. When I drag the object dropped appears to be of type Microsoft.VSDesigner.DataFieldPicker.GenericObjectFormat I am not sure how to determine the information of the dragged item from this. I cannot reference Microsoft.VSDesigner in order to type it. Microsoft.VSDesigner is located in the cache but does not show up as a referenceable dll. I also cannot find it on my system. Thanks, Joe Hi Joe, Microsoft.VSDesigner.dll is a dll used by Visual Studio to preform certain t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word - Cursor Position

  Hi, I'm trying to get the cursor position after the last typed character in a line, using the code: Range range1 = this.Application.Selection.Range; but the returned Range has wrong values! for example: Text: aa| (pipe is the cursor) range1.Start -> 130 range1.End -> 130 I think the problem is that the document need to be update. But how can i do that Bye, Thank you, Pedro Rocha Hi Pedro Why do you think the range has the wrong values Start and End should be the same, since the current selection is a "point" (blinking). You think 130 is too large a value Too small What is in you ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Disabled "Source Control Manager" Tool

  My B3 Source Control toolbar has a disabled tool button with a tool tip entitled "Source Control Manager".  Very intriguing. I cannot find any mention of this button anywhere.  What is this going to be for   The missing link for a TFSVC admin console The Source Control Manager launches a stand-alone application for a source control provider.  For example, with SourceSafe this launched the Visual SourceSafe Explorer.  Team Foundation's Source Control Explorer is integrated in Visual Studio so it does not use this menu, although one could argue that we should have enabled this menu/toolbar button and show th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Too many downloading for upgrading system in order to run vs express applications.

  Straight to the point, my country does not have very solid internet connection, its getting better but still not good enough. There are too many downloads needed to upgrade a system like win98/win2k/winXP sp1 to a level which able to run applications that developed in vs express edition.

• SQL Server Hundreds Of VIEWS

  What are the downsides to have many multiple views on a SQL Server Database It was somebody's design decision to create 10 views for each vendor in our database- that could range from 20 to 500 vendors ... which means we could potentially have 5000+ views in our database. What is the downside/problems with doing this This issue still exists for us, and I fear it creeping up against us in the near future- so basically, Report Models use views- and when referencing the view, the system does not allow you to pass in a parameter to call a stored procedure or anything in order to filter out individual ...Show All
