• Visual Basic CANT DEPLOT APPLICATION

  Ok this is my first time doing this click once deployment thingy But im trying to basiclly deploy my application so that others can download and use it the problem is i dont know where to deploy it to I need help i tried microsofts website but it wont let me get acess to it. I would have thought it was obvious that Microsoft is not providing web space for every person who downloads an Express version. You can deploy to your local machine. If you want people to be able to download it, then you need to provide server space. ...Show All

• Visual C++ char array

  I am trying to create a 3-dimensional array that stores records in 38 rows, with 3 columns. This array has a mixture of letters and numbers, so I declared a char array, the problem is, the rows with more then one character get truncated (00, 10, 11 become 0, 0, 1). Is there a way I can declare this array properly in order for it to allow me to have 2 characters in certain sections Below is a sample of the array. char array[38][3] = {{'0', 'G', '1'}, //3 dimensional array; number, color, column {'00', 'G', '3'}, {'1', 'R', '1'}, {'2', 'B', '2'}, {'3', 'R', '3'}, {'4', 'B', '1'}, {'5', 'R', '2'}, {'6', 'B', '3'}, {'7', 'R', '1'}, {'8', 'B', ' ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to add the Root Cause field to a Work Item

  Hi, How can I add the Root Cause field to the bug.xml file (in order to customize the bug work item). I can see the field in the Column Option window, but can't see it in other work item types (Risk, Task..).   Thanks, Michael You can use the witexport and witimport tools to customize your workitemtypes. 1. Use the WitExport tool to get your current WorkItemType definition. 2. Modify the definition (add the field you want, etc) 3. Import the new definition back into the project using the witimport tool. Here's the definition of the "Root Cause" field from the current CMMI Bug definition. You can customize t ...Show All

• Visual Basic Reporting Services for SQL 2000 and VB 2005

  Will the Reporting Services for SQL 2000 work with Visual Studio 2005 Thanks Bob Anderson New London Ohio Hi Bob, If there's a Reporting Services forum, this question would be better addressed there, but I asked someone on the RS team and they answered as follows... You can use Visual Studio 2005 to build applications that consume the reporting services SOAP, WMI, and URL interfaces. You cannot use Visual Studio 2005 to build extension to Reporting Services 2000. You cannot use Report Viewer controls that come with VS 2005 to integrate RS 2000 reports into applications. You cannot use the RS 2000 Rep ...Show All

• SQL Server Processing SCDs in bulk

  I read another post. I'm hoping I'm just doing something wrong, and that the SSIS team wouldn't have done this: I read in a batch of records that should cause changes in an SCD in some cases. The table is empty originally. In the wizard, its handling changing attibutes ,fixed and historical. 3 records in ( all with the same business key) = 3 records out In this case, it should only produce 1 record. Are you kidding me There must be a way to set the batch size to 1, right Are they all going down the "new" output I see your point. Not all of them are new are they and I as ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista FileWatchService and State Machine Workflows

  I have a question in regard to the FileWatcherService activity available for download and how to incorporate it with a statemachine workflow. I am developing a state machine that will react to files being dropped into a FTP store. Based on the file extension and name of the file, a new workflow instance will be started or a persisted one with be reloaded. In either event the appropriate state activity will run. The FileWatchService will need to react to files being dropped info the FTP site overtime. Using the FileWatchService example, once that workflow example completes (for one file) the FileWatchService does not react to new files. ...Show All

• .NET Development Problems adding web reference

  Hi guys, I quite new to web services. I'm not quite sure if this is the place to post this but my problem involves a web service so here goes. I am using Visual Studio 2005 to create a windows service which will call some functions exposed by a web service. Now, my problem is that I can't add that web service as a web reference. Some background on the web service is that it is compiled in Delphi 2005. And it has a .dll extension, which is different from the books and web I've read which shows .asmx extensions. When I right click on project, select add web refereence, and on the dialog that comes up, I browse the web service, I get t ...Show All

• .NET Development about Metadata Physical layout(#Blob)

  In the PE file, there is a #Blob Heaps, which I do not understand what it is. And I read the book which say If the first 1 byte of the "blob" is 0 bs , then the rest of the blob contain the bs bytes of actual data. etc.... I really do not understand what that means. Does it means that if 0XXXXXXXX (2) , it has XXXXXXX(2) bytes of data then 1st 2 bytes are 10bs. Does it mean that 10XXXXXX YYYYYYYY (2) will have XXXXXX time 256 and plus YYYYYYYY bytes of data Thx Sounds like you got it right.
