• Visual Studio Problem Running Projects After Upgrading From Beta

  After upgrading from beta to the final Visual Basic program, when running any project – old and new – would result in this error:   “ Error while trying to run project: unable to start debugging the binding handle is invalid”   After extensive searching, I found out that to fix this issue I would need to enable Terminal Services. Indeed, this fixes the problem.   But, WHY is TS needed for this It was not needed for the betas.   Additionally, it is an institutional policy to have all of the TS services disabled. A solution that would allow the usage of VB without the need to run Terminal Ser ...Show All

• Visual Studio Msgbox On Windows Server 2003

  Hi Guys, I'm really new to .Net development and need your advise on this. Recently I've completed a web application using VB.net (Visual Studio .Net 2003). In the application whenever the user clicks the delete button, a msgbox will appear prompting the user to confirm the deletion via the Yes or Cancel button. On my own machine (Win 2k IIS5), the msgbox appears without any issues. However when I deploy the application on a Windows Server 2003 machine, the msgbox will not appear and a event will be captured in the system log as "Application Popup" containing the text that I wanted to display (e.g. Do you really want to delete this user rec ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do you work with minidumps?

  Via the WinQual service we receive minidumps from users who's systems have crashed using our software. Does anyone have any idea how we can use these to debug the program I checekd which version was used and installed this on my system. I then open the minidump file in VS 2003 and run the debug. For the DLL in question it states that there is no symbol information which is correct as this is a release build. So I rebuilt the same version to create a .pdb file for the dll but now visual complains that it's an invalid file for this DLL. If I replace the DLL with a debug version it complains it can not find the binary. So can ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) constructor not executed on deserializing

  When using wcf to send an object over the wire, it seems the default constructor is not executed on deserialization. My breakpoint doesn't get there. Also fields with initialization code are not initizialised on deserialization. I'm implementing [ OnDeserializing ]. After that the members that have been marked as DataMember are being set. At that point I noticed the wrong state. Yes your are right. Constructor is not called for DataContract types. OnDeserializing should be called instead of the constructor. If you need your callback to be called after the DataMembers have been set, then please implement OnDeserialized. I hope this h ...Show All
