• Windows Forms Unable to view designer in vs2005 c#

  I am trying to get some help with a very strange problem.  When I opened up vs2005 today my form designer would no longer work and caused vs to crash.  This happens on all projects, even newly created ones.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Cant compile!

  Hi there, I am using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, downloaded from the site. I want to compile a project, but when try to select Build -> Compile, the option to compile is greyed out. Does anybody have any idea why Thanks in advance Don't use Compile .  Compile only makes an intermediate file (e.g., "Hello World.obj").  Also, to do a build you don't have to select anything.  Just have the Solution open in Solution Explorer.  VC++ will figure everything else out, and it will give you error messages if it can't. With VC++, it is Build that produces an exec ...Show All

• SQL Server From Excel to Analysis Services

  Have any of you heard of an application that makes it possible for normal business people with no IT knowledge to directly from Excel “publish” a table to SQL Server and Analysis Services I’m searching for an Excel add-in that sends the data in a normal Excel table with a few dimensions and some measures, as a data set (preferably via a web service over https) to a server application. The server creates a table in a specific SQL Server database, and automatically creates a cube in a specific analysis service database. The cube on the server is automatically processed and the data is available to all users in the company using the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team System and EVC 4.0?

  One of the products we develop runs on the desktop and in Windows CE 4.1 on a custom platform.  If we migrate the desktop build to VS2005 and Team System, what kind of version control access will I have available to me in EVC 4.0 since Windows CE 4.1 isn't supported in VS 2005   Will I be able to use team system for work item and version control still and have it work with EVC 4.0 Cheers, Clint A good question!  Does EVC4 even suport MSSCCI integration   If it does, someone could probably put together an EVC4 compatible MSSCCI plug-in for EVC4, but it would (of course) lack support for any of the new TFS stuff ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Optimization

  Hi There We have a package that simply reads a rows from a table and puts it into a flat file destination, this repeats through a for each loop. It is a very simple package. Problem is it takes 10 minutes to do a thousand rows. This is incradible slow, i have check indexes are fine, the table are only 1000 rows, but it seems to only read and write about 3 rows a second, this is crawling. Please how can we make tis faster, are there any obviously properties setting we should be checking We have started using SSIS alot around here, main problem is that all our packages seem very slow ! Whether they run in GUI debug or in a job in sql server ( ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to use a COM object and avoid late binding with Option Strict turned on?

  In an effort to optimize the code in my application, I've turned Option Strict on and gone through and made sure that all variables were properly type cast as well as ensuring that my functions were cast properly. All pretty straight forward, but I'm running into a problem with the compiler complaining about late binding in a certain section of code. I've tried numerous things to remedy this, but to no avail. Here is the offending code: <code> Sub RiverOffice() Dim nr As Integer ' number of records returned Dim nf As Integer ' number of fields returned Dim StatusCode As Integer ' zero means success ...Show All

• SQL Server Database is read-only.

  Hi I have been learning on how to use the new features of the .NET 2.0, and Well I using VS2005 and everything is pretty straight foward. I did a Membership webform where you log in and create users and roles etc. I installed the SQL Server 2005 express as my Data provider and thats where my Tables are. I used the aspnetsql_reg comand to integrate the server to this application. Anyway my problem started when i decided to copy my project to my IIS server and well when I run the app from the Browser tells me that he Database It's set to Read-Omly and therefore it cant update it.

• SQL Server Cannot generate SSI Context

  New install of SQL Server 2005 (x64) Standard after uninstalling previous version SQL Server (x86) Standard. After installation, client connections are receiving "Cannot generate SSI Context" error messages. TCP/IP Integrated Authentication is being used. Kerboros authentication is failing when SQLService is running under a domain account and works when running under local system account by reverting back to NTLM authentication. How do I get the Server to revert to NTLM authentication when running under a domain account so that the error will go away Mike "klist.exe purge" should clean up your local cach ...Show All

• Visual C++ Advantages to Using C++.Net 2005?

  Hi: Just looking for some opinions as to the advantages of using the new C++.NET 2005 over C++.NET 2003. I have some managed code in VS 2003 and I have just loaeded VS 2005. Are there any real advantages to transfering my code to the new syntax or can I combine the two without hassles It is not a lot of code. What are your opinions on using C#. It seems like a cleaner approach to managed code Thanks Thanks. Like I said to Nish I will use C++ because I am used to it but I will give C# a chance. At first blush C# does seem a bit cleaner like Java. I can say Java without getting throwen into a black hole I hope. Personally I find ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Delay activity - 60 days timeout perid error

• .NET Development TCP Connections and Web Service Calls (Reposted from WebServices newsgroup)

  Hi Everyone, I have a windows service which consumes a web service on a separate machine in our network. I modified my machine.config to allow my service application to make 200 connections to the server at once, and I spool up to 200 threads at once to make calls to the server. All of this works great and as expected. However I have noticed that by default the underlying connections tend to stay open for about 90 seconds after my web service calls terminate. So if I use a tool like TCPView I can see that I still have hundreds of connections that remain open even after explicitly calling the .Dispose() method of my proxy objects. Is there a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team Build and build event script macros

  Thanks for the prompt reply! As a follow-up, I discovered the missing functionality in beta 2 because beta 2 also broke our existing continuous integration strategy based on CruiseControl.Net. In particular, it appears that devenv.com is broken in beta 2. Builds invoked with devenv.com consistently fail if the source files have been added to an SCM provider -- whether or not that SCM provider is Team System. Is this also a known issue with beta 2 Is there any known work-around Kirk This was a bug in devenv.exe /build option when we shipped beta2, and was a known issue.  It has already been addressed, a ...Show All
